castelem « 16 analog IN 2 18/14 for less than 300 euros! »
Published on 10/05/14 at 05:14We forget that this card has nearly 10 years can be chained very effectively with a second 1814 must spend to date a little more than twice the opportunity to access 16 analog inputs with a recent map.
Proud owner of several analogue machines, I need to have at least 16 audio inputs to record digitally. I built my home studio around two cards chained (daisy chain) identifying audio capable of supporting 16 audio inputs on my two cards chained Windows 7 applications I hope to save you time.
Two big winners after numerous tests.
- Reaper (no protools 10)
- Ableton Live (no Acid Pro 7 Sony)
Constraints I identified by trial and error:
1 / Reaper Live and must be installed on two different machines so that the stability of each software remains on each PC with Win 7 I solved this problem by using two LENOVO I5 with 8 GB of RAM - for a live, the one for Reaper - and connecting the cards either portable depending on the application I need.
2 / You must use the ASIO driver for the M-Audio and not ASIO4ALL to have the best stability (buffer size in the control panel of the card: 256).
3 / We must declare what card test as the primary audio interface in Windows to avoid latency issues when audio is recorded 16 tracks simultaneously in Live or Reaper.
4 / Attention NEVER disconnect a hot card or PC card hand side. You burn out at once both firewire input of both cards is 150 euros card repair in Musical Service Pigalle.
Pending further messages and other feedback to complete it.
Particular advantages and disadvantages compared to buying a ADA8000 instead of a second 18/14 (prices are worth today).
UTILIZATION
Driver not updated after windows 7.
GETTING STARTED
Very easy installation.
OVERALL OPINION
I use daisy chain for 6 months.
