UTILIZATION

English manual
GETTING STARTED
The preamps are very quiet and light blows only when the pots are thoroughly, for against the microphone gain is very disappointing because you have to put the turbines almost fully for drinking something with dynamic microphones (not tried with static) .
OVERALL OPINION
At first I thought I had made a bargain with this interface because I was looking for material that allows me to record without breath and gives another dimension to my songs;
Unfortunately, with hindsight (and ear), I realize that this is a good deal, first of all because of what the preamp gain clearly insufficient and also, as noted TRUBAC rightly, because of its very cold in spring, its quite "digital", I felt, after listening to a song composed, that it lacked relief, space, professional quality (though I use very good virtual instruments and effects very well).
However, with an adjusted price (€ 309 now), this interface is nevertheless a good choice for low budget (like mine) and I think that apart from the models of RME, MOTU and Mackie are a tone above, the FA-66 is located in the top models of other brands of firewire audio interfaces, since it can record with a certain breathless quality ... but we must recognize that in my ear, there's something missing in the sound that emerges.
if I were to buy a digital audio interface today while remaining within the reasonable price issue, I think I would make a financial effort and I let perhaps more tempted by the MOTU Ultralite for as has TRUBAC, interface appears to be accompanied by very good reviews ... although it must add 200 € more from the FA-66 which is not nothing.
