Having 10 inputs / outputs simultaneously, even if it Exceeds my real needs of the moment, is extremely convenient. Just to record a guitar, you can rev well consider using a direct one between prampli and several microphones DIFFERENT place or different places to mix the rcuprer or INTERESTED sounds in one take.
Before I used a PC running WinXP, Athlon XP2000 +, 1.5 GB PC2100 Ram, 4 hard drives to 7200rpm silent enough to use the FA-101 to its maximum capacity. I was typing latencies fools! Now I have a PC with Core 2 Duo 3.15 GHz overclock 6600, 4 GB of PC6400 memory and changes everything. The latency of 8ms. I can do less (I went down 2ms), but increases the CPU resources used for anything. Personally, I do almost no diffrence latency, or really trs little with some plugins. So much Epargne processor.
I record guitars, vocals and I use the Midi.
Being able to mount and 24-bit 192KHz is a useless gadget I see. 96 or 48, has more than enough most people. Any fawn, a CD is 44.1 kHz/16 bit, right?
UTILIZATION
Installation is easy. No worries. No conflict with my setup. No less complicated to implement may be of computer music have never done in his life, and more ... Any fawn, the complete beginners have largely never heard of anything other than SoundBlaster or Hercules ...
The manual is well fucked, but anecdotal. O are useful to know situs / O the rear when the unit is possible that such Manir manipulates the blind, like me
GETTING STARTED
The drivers are stable, but as they n'voluent not, you can just esprer they will continue to be compatible with Windows Vista. Many PC users are likely to spend much by choice or obligation, and it would be a shame to see the FA-101 to become inconsistent due to lack of follow-up of drivers from Edirol. Verdict in 2007.
As I said prcdemment, my new PC allows me to have low latencies trs of about 8ms (or less, but it's a choice of audible report latency / power processor uses ). I use many effects simultanment and in real time, in both reading and recording. But if not, simply record while "dry" and then add the effects afterwards.
I recorded more than 4 tracks simultaneously in 48kHz/16bits. In reading, I read rcemment twelve tracks using a total of 22 plugins for use simultanment processor by 28% (amp simulation, rverb convolution, virtual instruments such as BFD and Miroslav Philharmonik ... ). So I margin. But it is clear that it is better to have a powerful PC for this.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about 6 months.
I like the 10 I / O, the quality of sound, its look.
I do not like the quality of pramplis, not extraordinary. Not bad, but does not break bricks. I use pramplis AudioBuddy M-Audio to record, not the quality of pramplis professional studio, of course, but are trs transparent and cheap (less than 100 euros for two input are simultaneously), and are trs great job. my level was good enough for me.
This is my sound interface srieuse Premire. I come from the world of PC game with its SoundBlaster, and it Obviously another level. I love it! There are probably better (Motu, RME ...), but it is immediately more expensive. In competition, I hsit MODELS with M-Audio and I do not know what else, but as beginners in the field, I am that I sr t would also satisfied.
Anyway, I am glad of this device and I would do the same choice with the same budget if c'tait again. I am far from having exploited the FA-101 background, it should suit me a long time.
