Value For Money :
Excellent
3 + 1 output mix out.
2 inputs (phono / line input / microphone input or high impedance).
Used for digital DJing (Virtual DJ) with laptop (Turion 64 1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM).
Used also with Fruity Loops, Adobe Audition ...
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is very simple.
The manual provides just about everything, and it is clear enough.
GETTING STARTED
Ahhhhhh, here we go ... ESI drivers ... I would simply say it is shameful to sell a card with drivers such as non-functional ...
First, the drivers on the CD (1.14) works very well with the latest models manufactured (including mine): ASIO is not supported.
We must then try to download the version 1.16 ... Always rotten, no way to make the card compatible with Virtual DJ, Fruity Loops and under the ASIO is very poorly managed, ca crackling whatever settings (latency etc ...). We turned to the forums, there is a version 1.18 more or less official, and there it would work almost ... or not (with Virtual DJ), more way to open the control panel of ASIO.
The solution? Generic ASIO4ALL drivers and everything works fine (with me) ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about 1 month. (15 days to solve the problem of drivers)
What I like most: the characteristics, appearance, robust and aesthetically pleasing.
What I like least: ESI programmers who are not f. .... to lay compatible drivers.
Excellent quality / price ratio, as long as said above to buy it in Germany for example (95 Euros Thomann currently over 200 in France)
This choice I would do without hesitation, this card offers plenty of possibilities (including the one to get to crank the audio configuration of your PC with all the drivers you can think of to make it work)
