UTILIZATION
- Installation is it without problem?
you put the cd, it starts the install and used as directed, 1 minutes later while walking.
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
None.
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Yes, but at the same time saw the use that I do I just turn the knob of the preamp.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I do not know if it's enough as it is given in English. I think not pass cot nothing, but for people not using more bilingual capabilities of this card it must be irritating. if you pay 300 a product can be expected that the manufacturer is made a translation of the manual ... (yes it's a small rant)
GETTING STARTED

So far no problem.
- Are they often put day?
Stupidly I did not concern.
- What software do you use most often?
Ableton Live, Cubase ...
- What you get lag?
sorry for the players, but I do not know.
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
again seen the use that I made, I aps really get to push these defenses ... so yes I managed to record 6 tracks simultanment but it has surely more in the stomach. for reading a 24-track ca still rolling well trs.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
10 months.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+: C simple, you plug it and install it works.
+: The power via firewire c very practical, in real I never touch the on / off button, the map lights and s'teind with my pc.
+: The quality of preamps even if I feel that opinions are divided on this level. at least a couple m-audio nova which is not really a monster, the knob of the preamp is only half and I can push it to 9/10eme before hearing the slightest breeze, I in the clear margin. In addition to the preamp is trs transparent quality for some default for the other ... but its good for its color nothing beats a preamp a lamp, and the sound is good potato, do not wait a sound card or a preamp ... rather blame your compressor.
+: The quality of the sound at all.
-: Ca hot!
-: The manual in English
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
not. Before that I was satisfied with a sound card to my motherboard Intgr ... no need to say it changed my life ...
- How do you report qualitprix?
Being given that I have not tried other models I can not really comment. But in any case I pay 300, I do not feel m'tre have done, I t even pleasantly surprised to have a sound of this quality for this the price.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
yes without hesitation.
before buying it I went through the reviews and forum Audiofanzine, I spent time chatting to a playback embter these poor sellers and each time I came to this conclusion: edirol fa -66.
I finally decided to pay 300 (tearing ^ ^) and I'm not really dcu. I would do not only this choice, but I'll keep that particular card a long time for a home studio c more than enough.
