UTILIZATION

I had no desire to install Vista SP1 I am in you put the CD starts the install it's all good!

-Currently no incompatibility DTECT

Therefore, the configuration very easy as long as we understood the Schematic Manual
I'm not a pro and it took me less than 2 hours to understand how it all works!

-The manual and even a little too simple ... I love a sample configuration ... m'enfin as I have said very simple to configure as desired!

GETTING STARTED

Them a stable driver not even crash when changing Sample Rate

-Currently no update ... but said update said soft output too early ... and it's not the case!

"I use Ableton Live 7 (it comes with Ableton Live Lite 6 Map!)

My-8ms latency is a total (between 4 and 4 out) with my 128 and a buffer device in normal mode against the project for large cracks all over but with just a guitar rig or other is trs good

-For now I try two .... I will make ending for 8 (a battery)

-Read ... for the moment I read a draft of 16 trouble-free track ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had less than a week

I like its interface and ease of implementation!
against by the latency and too long ... (32ms in total ... there must be a way to fall but how ...)
I try some low-end model before this one so I lack a point of comparison ...

The value for money seems good (especially since I got a new 370 ... hehe so what's a 450 in vpc and over 500 in-store french ...)

I think if I had more in me I'll take a RME in the same budget but I think so!
says its been over a month that I was Russian I Submitted to lower the latency is 8ms which is the total trs good!
the preamp's really great for the price! It's fairly neutral with a touch of heat not dsagrable

I am really pleased with this card
