«  An excellent converter, not really an audio interface »

Published on 08/16/12 at 17:12
Converters-very well made
Few-functions "gadget", we go straight to the essential
Construction-and high-quality finish
Console software-simple yet effective
I use it with a '08 and a prophet waldorf Q, in Live and Pro Tools. There is no digital connectivity, no preamp, no volume knob, just a on / off, 12 inputs and 12 outputs analog TRS jack 6.35 format, MIDI and wordclock two. It connects to the computer by firewire. Mac is a simplicity more than disconcerting, it is recognized by all the software I use. When you turn the computer automatically sets as the main exit. Level converters is very specific, very defined, both in terms of dynamics (32-bit, there is more headroom than the ear can cash), that of the stereo image. FHZ response is very correct, tuned it does not differentiate between a note played live on my synth through headphones, and the same note played through headphones after registration. Ultimately the only small criticism I can make it is that the mix lacks a bit of momentum.

UTILIZATION

No drivers, one branch, we lights, it works (OSX 10.6)

GETTING STARTED

Any inconsistency, or in Live or PT. Confituration ultra simplistic (SR, the word clock source)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for just over seven months and it's a real treat, the true professional gear, you can count on, despite the endless sessions it does not crash EVER. The converters are truly remarkable. An excellent compromise if you can do without integrated preamp and digital connectors.
