We use it as a sound card - mixer in production models and made a sound coupled with Cubase LE (included) and a rather old PC with XP.
This is the day and night compared to our old equipment.
Connections are easy, implementing clear and well explained in the manual.
8 audio inputs, only one "guitar"
Phantom power necessarily related entries 1 to 4. (It requires not to use these four inputs simultaneously a micro condenser and dynamic - although possible if the symmetric and -)
Mode "monitor mix" difficult to take the whole orchestra if there is a battery, a singer, two guitar and keyboard.
Preferential use in "computer" to be taken home studio and management, coupled with cubase. It can handle 32 tracks on cubase moving from one bank to another.
No equalizer incorporated. The EQ fontions merely drive the equalizer of Cubase. Same for the effects and auxiliaries.
2 MIDI inputs and outputs
2 Wire-made fire-FW (What is the second?).
The FW is essential for qulité and speed of transfers with the computer and it allows management and the simultaneous recording of 8 inputs in cubase, or almost no latency.
Input and SPDIF output useful to record the audio tracks in cubase plugin. (It physically connects the input to output)
The great happiness:
It's beautiful material very close to the pro, clean. The rear inputs allow you to hide cables.
No noise
Automation of the 9 faders blameless
Everything works perfectly with the supplied Cubase.
I have connected to the headphone amplifier headphones (8 input headphones, € 45) behringer proamp800. It allows us to do our rehearsals in near silence in the apartment poorly soundproofed.
Connected equipment
Input an SM 57 for acoustic guitar or saxophone
2 SM 58 entered for voice and acoustic guitar mic 2nd
Entries 3 and 4 Beat Box MKII Korg
Inputs 5 and 6 Workstation Alesis Fusion 8HD
Entry in position 8 Guitar - Fender Strato or bass guitar
MIDI sockets for connection between the table and the Fusion (master keyboard)
UTILIZATION
As mentioned above, no advanced features but very pleasant to use. We do not use it yet MIDI driver (it can be a MIDI driver bank multi-mode "MIDI control") fail at this level a small LCD screen.
very fast, good preamps. The SM57 (connected to our input 1) is a little weak by design can give a false impression of low quality preamps.
SOUNDS
Very low blows and yet it has to come from the headphone amp ..
no internal equalizer
no effects processors
Digital is the perfect for use in amateur home studio to produce specific models in audio noon, coupled with cubase.
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 2 months
We like the motor faders, simultaneous multitrack recording cubase, quality components, the absence of breath sounds and, Design, perfect coordination with cubase.
the price or we have acquired: € 499 (it just recovering to € 779)
We like least: One stereo output, a Phantom for 4 inputs or nothing, One guitar input. The small gain knobs and control Phones, Monitor.
Exceptional value for money for the FW motor. nonexistent elsewhere
This is the tool I was waiting for "détracasser" my little home studio. And it works!
