Small and firewire

I use it mainly scne (ie a laptop) and turns like "notepad" luxury everywhere

I record mainly vocals and guitar (the rest in virtual instr) in rab with a small or universal audio preamp JOEMEEK

My laptop is an Asus V6 centrino 2.13 GHz / HDinterne in 7200 rev / min (important) and 2GB of Ram.

UTILIZATION

- Installation impeccable. I stress this point because I had lots of prob with my laptop (Asus V6). I tested a lot of sound cards and the only one who walked the first shot ....... Edirol FA66.

- Config easy and clear manual (useless but good)

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are super stable

- Last day absent, which is not a prob if they the work well ;-)

- I use Cubase SX and Wavelab

- 3ms latency with lots of tracks and vst.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some months now. It is still stable and easy to transport.
Its main default is mostly the quality trs average pramps board. Frankly, it limits foutage of mouth. Those of the firebox seemed to me more "punchy". Attention, I'm not talking about tone color or other (remaining trs subjective), but of comparable quality. I hear a microphone by a few anmi has no chance with these pramps. And I do not even among the HiZ should call plutt AEZ.

In fact, with a good quality static plutt the card works fine. And I add more entries by an external pramp and more concern.

I wanted a sound card that works with my laptop and my having. For the rest is no more the 300 euros. If I had the choice (compatibility with the Asus), I took the Firebox (smaller and less-pramps who have the default color of the juice pronounced).
