Usage: Home studio, multitrack recording models with groups, post prod videos.

Config: see my profile.
Note that it works well with my Athlon XP 1600. It gre comfortable 40 tracks without effects. This day I will when I finish a big mixer with effects.

Connections:
(Amplifiers, guitar Scheer, vocals) -> Shure SM57 XLR -> FA66
(Guitar, bass) -> FA66 between two (high impedance) in jack
Keyboard -> MIDI FA66 to enter scores

UTILIZATION

I had problem with the installation. But this is not to the FA66.
My problem concerned the firewire. First I bought a Texas Instrument card that when I cram the FA66 branch above, 4-pin! (Hence the silent card plugs into the adapter).
So I bought an Adaptec 4300 in Fireconnect LDLC.com. The card runs natively. Nickel.

Then I install the FA66, but I had trouble spending the second step of the installation: the dtection between ports of the card, and the installation of the card . The dtection of priph. Firewire Windows XP does a little longer than what I expected (several minutes).

In short, now it works NICKEL! : O) Prvoir a good pair of speakers for monitoring will appreciate the quality. I redcouvre all my songs!

The card configuration is simple. I would say the installation, the more difficult. I have yet to test the MIDI.

The manual is in English, and is not trsdtaill. Too bad.

Too bad there is also the buffer settings of the card on the PC. I would have more than minor adjustments AIM: o) But who cares, it works nickel.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable trs. I am running Windows XP and ASIO 2 bath.
I have not needed the driver updates.

I use this card with Steinberg Nuendo. I have a 10ms latency when the buffers are set to a standard size, and 13 ms when the largest possible.

I will not have more than two tracks recorded simultanment. I work with a DJ or two. I see when I need to do a live socket.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two weeks ago (29 January 2006).

The map really seemed more impressive on the net, in fact it is quite small. Design.
I am glad trs. She seemed to be a value sre. No endowed!

The report price is trs good quality. This is the stuff of shock, I was one of his hell was fun.

With a bigger budget, I would give myself the means to make multitrack live by purchasing the FA101. But remember that it is possder a laptop, at least for that use. Which is not my case.
