All user reviews for the M-Audio Firewire 410

I chose it for its FireWire interface, to allow me to do sound processing for live radio (intensive use of ASIO) on an Athlon 64 3200 + with 1 GB of RAM and Windows XP Pro.

I needed to replace my old SB Audigy Platinum, which however is well dbrouille ASIO (I go down 7 ms) and allows to use all the I / O (rack + card with outputs 5 + 1)

L I end up with an audio interface "semi-pro" with 4 inputs (which in fact only two analog mono) + 10 outputs (which makes 8 analog mono). It's expensive pay when you consider that the general public on the cards, the analog outputs are gnralement the number of 6 (5.1) see 8 (7.1) as long as these cards Grente the ASIO, they are all used separately.

From the point of view esththique is quite pretty. The blue LED "power" gives a nice effect at all, pity she is so exploded ... do not place the box in his field of vision may be just dazzles with this really bright LED ...

UTILIZATION

Installation was plutt well. It's pretty simple: in particular, install the driver first, restart the box and plug the Firewire port THEN.

GETTING STARTED

It was that the plot thickens.
In use, I find that my PC loses a lot in performance! Probably to the intensive use of Firewire port .... I think nothing beats the time today, a PCI interface.
I manage to get 8 ms latency but with more cuts than my SB Audigy and a PC slowed sharply!

Also I wanted to record in a software sound coming out of another. And although there is apparently no way with these cards! Besides physically connecting an output of the card from one, simply no way to record internally what comes out of the map.
With my SB Audigy, I need only select between the "wave" and it allows me to resume its use in other applications of a fawn extremely simple and effective.

Against the driver is pretty much done with a mix of good and virtual routing capabilities that allow you to route hardware inputs and virtual outputs (used as output in the ASIO software) to any hardware output. This does not serve me much, but for other uses, may s'avrer very practical.

Oh yeah: do not try to connect anything between the SPDIF when the card is in use, a plant will do! Not very practical when you have to express several connections when using software.
I also found some shortcomings with the optical SPDIF between. I had several problem of synchronization.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 days. I admit that it was an impulse buy, and I did not realize how only 2 analog inputs, may be disabling. Prfr I have only 4 analog outputs, but two more entries!

On the other hand, I just made the exprience of a hardware audio Firewire port. I do not think this choice again because I have the distinct impression that the CPU is heavily sollicit + with a PCI interface.

Aside from the cumbersome interface, the functions of routing it offers I do not use much. (Router inputs to any output, have an auxiliary bus directly into the mixer of the card ...) It all can be done directly in a good squenceur ASIO compatible audio. So I do not see the intrt .. Prfr I see one or more of the "virtual" on which we can route any output virtual dub for a walk in between in-house without having to physically connect an output between a cable with a!

So I will certainly Sparer me to buy a card with PCI interface external box and with more of them.
For the price (I paid 350) I find that the performance is not good. But again, I think it's the Firewire interface that wants a. In addition, only two mono analog inputs are not enough.

What technical specifications motivated your choice?
I wanted a card with at least 2 inputs and 8 outputs above. The possibility of routing also have pes in the balance.

For what purpose?
Primarily for recording vocals. Also to connect a guitar and use VST amp simulation. A lot of use in live too.

In fact, I do a lot of music Comd. I use it to make compounds in MIDI / Audio Cubase. Then I mastered all to be prss CD. Just when the live shows I composed with the same effects and the same quality as the CD.

What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
HP-Compaq Notebook Athlon 3Ghz, 768MB, 60GB 7200RPM, Firewire PCMCIA card, Windows XP, Cubase SX 3, Reason in ReWire.

Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?
I use it live with a DDX 3216. Indeed, I connect the 8 outputs to the console and as required, I use the effects of the console or through Cubase VST effects.
I regret that lack of ADAT ports FireWire 1814 to make the recording in multitrack live with my DDX3216.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem it?
No worries

Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No. Sometimes when I connect my MIDI keyboard APRS plugging the card, it does not reoit MIDI. Gnralement I restart the map and everything works perfectly.

Gnrale configuration is easy?
You can do everything by the panel CONTRL card.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes, everything is clear trs.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable?
No problem with the latest version

Are they often put day?
In my opinion, M-Audio puts new drivers to correct the problem, but if there is not ...

What software do you use most often?
Software: Cubase SX3 (combined), Nuendo (post-production), Reason (standalone and rewire), Cool Edit Pro
Plug in: Amp Rock Legend, PSP Vintage Warmer

How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment?
At max, I only records two channels at once, but I think the card can go much further.
Again, see my usage, I regret missing the FireWire ports from the ADAT to the 1814 live recording in multitrack with my DDX3216.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Almost a year and everything goes perfectly

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus: routing, audio output, the quality of pramp (for price)
The least: Lack of

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Not

How do you report qualitprix?
I think it's a good quality-price for a beginners example. It can be comfortable anywhere and in all circumstances.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?
No hsitation!

I bought this interface for its low price, its eight outputs, flexible routing at the output and firewire CONNECTIVITY.
I use it to make music in Cubase SX, Reason [...], with the south.
I use it with an Asus A4G (laptop) P4 3.2 Ghz, 512MB RAM, a 60GB disk rather slow.
My sound card is itself connected to a Yamaha 01V level audio outputs (jack) and a Roland XP10 for MIDI.

UTILIZATION

I have not succeeded this time to make it work properly.
First I install the drivers M-Audio supplied me with the cd-rom,
it really did pas.J 'days have put the drivers to pass the latest version of the driver but it was even worse on windows 2000 pro it works fairly well (except for MIDI ), in short I will not m'taler the above I have already said enough in the forum.

Otherwise at the ASIO panel it is especially comprehensive and flexible routing
outputs.
The level-controller in faade is a good idea but I've never used.

GETTING STARTED

As I said above drivers are Carment zero from windows 2000 pro.
I use it with Cubase SX, Reason, Sound Forge and vst, I get around 8ms latency which is a good result when meme.Elle suporte pretty good numbers a little abuse of that I use with Cubase VST Apart from its sacada when my processor is 100% correct but that's normal.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 7 months that I have and I'm on my trs deu investisement, what I most AIM is its 8 audio outputs and two inputs with preamp, what I 'have the lowest AIM driver.Je find it expensive to pay a card that does not work and if it was again, I do not buy it.

For a laptop, however, not on a desktop PC so it works well

Hello everyone who uses the M-Audio Firewire 410.

Little info on the latest drivers, I use Cubase SX 3.x and 7.x on Logic Power Book G4 12 "1.5 Ghz G5 and Bipro 2x2, 7 GHz

UTILIZATION

Worry-free installation, or configuration

GETTING STARTED

When updating the driver (recommended by the Constructor) of the APRS map update Mac OS X (10.4.3), the quantification of notes are no longer possible and / or registered marks will compile without rhythm. This means that the notes are held as sustain
The solution:

Return despite the manufacturer's recommendations on the drivers provided on cd.

But finally here I galr c'tait all con and still works despite the day of the System.

@ Ending for
Sebio

OVERALL OPINION

Yes I recommend this card for those who do not have deep pockets and want professional about the results

I use it with an electric guitar directly plugged into an input device. I am not a professional musician, I play a lot, for fun.

I was looking for an interface that allows me to register both in good condition and replace my amp with me offering me the opportunity to connect Rapidos and easily provide full sound.

The 410 is connected to a tower PIV 2.4 Ghz (XP SP2), a G0 RAM, I have not dedicated to music but this remains the priority application (the PC is "slightly" configured).

UTILIZATION

Easy installation, no problem. Driver taken to the site M-Audio.

I had before my old soundblaster live off via the control panel, without turning on the motherboard.

The 410 is configured via a control panel rather complete but requires a small learning curve, which seems perfectly normal.

Manuel very succinct but do we really need? The 410 is intuitive, it is doing fine without.

GETTING STARTED

As mentioned earlier, driver recovered at the site of M Audio. It dates from October 2005, not updated since but no crash, no conflict found so far.

When recording, I use Ableton Live and Pro-Tools. I also use plugins for my stand alone plug and play quickly.

I have not calculated the latency. In fact I forgot what it meant. It is perfectly inaudible.

At the moment I turned the three tracks at a time, no problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and a half.

The 410 revolutionized the way I play music.
Before, I was going through a big amp, compact, correct, but its very limited level. There, I plug in my guitar, I choose my sounds, I invented, I play, I create a rhythm track, I improvise on it, I record or not ... is happiness!
Rapidos I play through Guitar Rig, which has a handy feature stand alone, with an integrated magneto to be able to easily and improvisation of beef with yourself

The sound quality is excellent but obviously depends on many plugin employees. With Guitar Rig, clean sounds / crunches are monstrous. AmpliTube preference for Satus, while high quality even if it still faces the problem inherent in the blast plugin (which can be reduced by moving).

The raw sound of the 410 complies with the tone of my guitar. Anyway, I never hear it because I always pass by a plugin ...

I have not tried one before. I toured the forums and seek advice from a musician friend, it pro.

I just said, the 410 has completely changed my way of thinking about music in offering me the opportunity to play and create quick, easy and excellent acoustic conditions.

I could not do without and still wonder how I was to live without!

This card-style at first, I direct hearts: compatibility protools/2pr-ampli mic / phantom power, ct the dream for my budget ...
"I use Windows XP Pro / Athlon XP 2400/512mo Ram 3GHZ
Nova-Mic / Keyboard USB Matre
Cubase Vst-32/SX 3/Sonar 4/Nuendo ...

UTILIZATION

Manual-help! The intallation easy, ok, but I was kind of changing my firewire port twice because of Bond gt 3x turn my pc it works! Gt really dfcu, j 'even wanted to cry, thank you!

GETTING STARTED

No problem running this card latency trs well, but only when it works! Everything works ok, but only as it works? But for this price (329eur), you think we can afford to wait it is ok to walk? really ...?

OVERALL OPINION

-O I made a week, not feel like it burns in me, and then an internal card vo mieu!

Config:
PB G4 1.67 Ghz, 2 GB RAM
FW 410
Pro Tools 3.0 Reason 7.1 + MPowered
Micro Pro + B2 Berhinger Samson Q mic

Mac has a beautiful hand, nothing special.
I was looking for work on Pro Tools and Firewire.

UTILIZATION

Trouble-free Mac OS X or Windows XP

GETTING STARTED

Latency, although supposedly weak, is audible and teachers.

No possibility to monitor fawn MBox (it costs a mix between the input and output so dfinier same, great practice)

APRS a year and use plutt cool, fake contacts appeared on one of the two headphone jacks.
Otherwise nothing particlier, from a big concern of breath and wheezing.

Not too audible if not push the gain background eavec a dynamic microphone.

But then, with 48 V, OUCHHHHHH!

I thought my c'tait Berhinger B2 Pro, so I snobb qqs time.

By reading this review on Audiofanzine micro, I thought that this silent mic not that bad and that ct not normal to have a souflle frequency drives and so acute horrible.

Small test is needed, I unplug the XLR sound card, and I push back the gain. Big breath
And turn on the 48 V.

Disgusting!!

Everything has to say that pramps are gg and I will sell this card, find one another and keep my B2 Pro.

OVERALL OPINION

And then finally m'nerve be blocked because of M_Audio in Pro Tools.
Anyway, I knew by signing ....

Nothing more to say than the other

UTILIZATION

Simple, just follow the instructions (and especially not connect aveant we tell you!)

GETTING STARTED

DO NOT USE WITH OR EQUIPMENT NEC MOTHERBOARD VIA IS INCONSISTENT. Just visit the support site of M-Audio (well done incidentally) to understand that if you have the hardware in question you are not ready to get away. I followed all their advice (even more risky, such redraw the BIOS) I always click to read CDs and DVDs and stalls in enregistrment while scrolling a track reading. I am very sad

OVERALL OPINION

Qu'ordi on something with VIA motherboard is great

I wanted a small external card for my laptop to avoid using the AC97 chipset pourri of Acer 1363wlmi. I'm not! But beware, in the words of another person, there are problem with VIA chipsets. I had cuts to beginners ds I wanted to play a virtual instrument or even play a single audio track. APRS moult research, I found what was wrong. Just disable the Energy Management in Control Panel / Systm / hardware. Now it's nickel! This small external interface gives me satisfaction Entire.

UTILIZATION

Installation smoothly. As a letter in the mail. Incompatibility with VIA chipset but rgl (see above).

GETTING STARTED

I have not encountered the problem of drivers. It looks stable and mr.
I use Sonar 4 for the ride. Nickel! Latency is good but not exceptional. The internal PCI cards are much better. On my config (a Sempron 64 3 ghz) I can play 7-8 instruments (virtual analog synths mostly) before getting dcrochages of intensive use of CPU.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months. I like its simplicity of installation, quality of sound, stable drivers. The report qualitprix is ​​good, nothing more. If c'tait again, I would reiterate the MODEL or other models of m-audio because they make quality sound cards.

Hello all

Here is a year 1 / 2 I use the FW410, I had chosen for mobile use in seeking a good qualitprix.
I use it both for the creation of audio / midi in live (or live broadcast: music for pieces of thatre notemment)
The first interest I found that being the ability to spread thanks to the 8 analog outputs.

I use a PowerBook G4 with 1GB of ram, and especially Logic 7.

UTILIZATION

No problem with OSX installed and used, although the manual that came shining through its vagueness and its useless.

GETTING STARTED

No problem with stability and drivers, no problems with the time of existence that is small enough to be forgotten.
J'apprcie also the possibility of routing of the interface that allows a direct monitoring Zro latency (very useful for acoustic instruments or voice).

OVERALL OPINION

The big default:
the reliability.

I tried three FW410 (with the same config and the same driver):
On the first MIDI was not working.
On the 2nd of the big problems of breath and plays, especially with the phantom power supply on.
On the 3rd, finally, all is well ... except ...
... Except that after a year's loose connection: bad contacts in the two headphone jacks, one input and outputs 1 / 2, 3 / 4 and 7 / 8!! Zt yet I took care of my stuff: I have a proof for Akai EWI for over 15 years and it still works.

It turns out that this card is not suitable for mobile use and should remain permanently connected in the same config, which is of course no!

In short, I deprecated this card. Too bad ...

Firewire

for the home studio

I use a mac pro and logic

at the beginning I used in optics, but I got tired of the cracks so I went back to the analogy

UTILIZATION

No problem installing everything is nickel!

But I bought it there a year and a half and I neither know anything at all!! but it is very simple (except for setting the sample rate I galr I did not know this stuff!)

GETTING STARTED

Trs the last stable drivers SHIFT is very well ....

I use it with Logic 7

I get a good recording of audio tracks with 20in 7 midi track (instrument logic very greedy in CPU)

OVERALL OPINION

Since a year and a half

what I like most is prices are for what it offers!

what I like least is that there are only two input ...

yes 2 more ...

Q / P honestly very good ... there is a year and a half was fine, but now there is competition!!

yeah! This is great to start but I'll change it because I want better, but it's a good sound card trs for a beginner or quelqun that seeks to work anywhere!

I use it with the Live
I entered it serves to connect the m-audio axilire on my mixer
entered it in and out on my table

UTILIZATION

Install driver plug and voila
I recommend the big cable (plus chai posse)
I've had no problem j

GETTING STARTED

No problem of driver
never had a sukkah

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last three months I've had the opportunity of a 250 euro
j frankly have read al the critical era (just after the purchase have) and I got a little scared It's been 3 dj sound card that I ssaill and I got a little "bou ... "
but since I have the THERE is nothing which is described here that c produces:
dfaillence no driver
no input or out damaging yet I not address that well ...
all worked great ...
good if not J have the intention to buy a comprsseur amlirer sound because it sounds ass not analog (like all the sound card).
the only small sukkah c the volume of output will decline in the boot (a penssais mount every time the light Vou)
c hardware not pro either but when c mm a big step for the music dmocratisation lctronique personal thanks to this card stinks up j have a group that advances lctro dub a lot without the need for a great budjet.
Y is tired WHETHER always the most FRICA WHICH CAN MAKE THE MUSIC !!!!!!

The technical features that motivated my choice for FireWire 410:
What I like are the two inputs and phantom power supply more particularly the two headphone outputs are convenient for mobile use. That can be used with this card pro_tools.Mais actually I have big problems with registration, I have crackling and dropouts.
What use?
To mock and / or to make def music, sounds to mount on pro-tools on the movies.
My config?
I have an ASUS F3J series laptop: cpu Duo T2500: 2 G of ram and 120 g of memory.

Instruments?
I record with a RODE NT1 and with a sm57 and a sm58, as I plug the card directly on bass and electric guitar. I have a silent keyboard to order MIDI.

UTILIZATION

The installation was done without problème.Sauf I reinstalled the drivers to make sure that my problem was not there.
Incompatibilities? Not everything works except recording.
Configuration rule is quite easy
The manual?
Ok

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable until the recording picks
I have updated regularly.
The software I use, Cubase, Vega (the range Sony) for mounting image in particular.
Latency is 7202 ms I think it's going cad to register with the internal monitoring without going through an external mixing desk.
I can only record two tracks simultaneously and when it works, it works ...
I can read a lot of tracks, I think I had a project with more than 30 tracks.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half, but I use it really config recording studio for a month.
I love everything in it when it is operating normally.
No I have not tried other model before buying it but I got advice from friends who use it.
Good value: price again if it works.
I think I would do this choice but mainly I will test the early days and I will use the warranty.

I bought this card to go with my laptop (Sony FS 115 M).
I wanted to record anywhere, enjoy the ASIO drivers and Cubase everywhere (of course wherever there are at least one battery or a power outlet.
I use it sometimes in my home studio to enjoy the silence of the laptop (my tower is quite noisy, and sometimes recorded in the same room may prove to be synonymous with unwanted presence on the record)

UTILIZATION

I installed the card without any concern as well as subsequent updates, I've never been a hitch. the control panel and the hardware interface can be used in a very intuitive manner sufficient to avoid using the PDF manual.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are extremely stable, the latency of 5 ms is negligible 44,100 Hz No problem of integration into Cubase SX2, SX3, Cubase 4.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than two years, I'm very happy, it makes me services that I the destination.
Lightweight, compact, quality converters very honorable, reasonable price, this card combines the strengths and does what is asked of him rather brilliantly.
Little more valuable: its two inputs headphone!
It seems obvious that given all the praise that I wrote about it as I have no regrets and I would do this choice with his eyes closed.
PS: I do not understand the negative opinion if others on this site, apparently they must have fallen on machines manufactured on a Monday.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice? The number of inputs and output for this award, as well as the recommendations of the seller.

- For what purpose? Making coffee, and then record some synthesizers, microphones, singing, guitars etc..

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)? Today MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz 2GB DDR2. Before, HP Notebook Intel Centrino 1.8 ghz 512 ram.

Specific level, this small is not too bad. However, I completely agree with the comment of the test. It has 4 inputs but not really very useful 2. Too bad. Otherwise it has what it takes.

UTILIZATION

No problem at all.

GETTING STARTED

Using impeccable since the beginning! Only minor complaint, either on my old laptop or on my new Mac, I occasionally have to go in the driver control of the map to re-engage the output ... he says he is sending the sound but nothing. Just click again to make it work. That way it does not look like much ... but when you're live to the world and play on your t'appuis sequencer .... and that there is no sound ... your air con ... "I still miiiinnnnce forgotten!" Certainly you do not lose that 30 seconds, but you're nothing to stress. Finally there I quibble a bit anyway ..... ^ ^

Otherwise it runs the steak .....

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 1 year and I had no problems (except the small detail recounted above). It seems that quite a few people have had problems with this card (grilled, breakdowns, etc.).

I have come across the director M-Audio France and I told him about the many echoes. It has indeed been a lot of dissatisfaction returns on this map, but he noted that in general, arrived on the problematic situation the devices connected to computers "cheap", very often with a Firewire port of poor quality . Basically, this card can be more sensitive than average (hard to tell), but if you have the hardware quality, it should not be a problem. With my HP, never had a concern, and not with the Mac (besides the return rate of SAV this card when used Mac is small it seems)
I have not tried other models before, so for sound quality, I can not say too much. For me it has a good sound. The ratio Q / P seems to me correct, I just was disappointed by the actual number of entries.

With experience, so I think I would do this choice. This card follows me without flinching for 1 year. It allowed me to save anywhere how ...

I have 20 inch intel imac
logig pro 7.2
Final Cut Pro

Dpart to look entirely consistent in my home studio and need the price a year ago parraissait quite reasonable. At this time she also decline.

UTILIZATION

Reccurence problem of updated drivers.
Problem of logic in dcrochage permanent. Instabillit growing in final cut (to enjoy videos of the projects in progress)

About the ultimate contradictory instructions for use, and the little red paper cal well in the bottom of the box that informs the happy acqureur the possible non tolrence of 410 with other p riphriques firewire.

Video capture demand for more flexibility and ease of use, acquired a dde ==> and patatra dcrochage systmatique.

In the end sound card unusable.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are compltement unstable.

OVERALL OPINION

Just over a year. Warranty over.

Certainly I would do it at all this choice.

What motivated my choice: A Quality Sound, 8 analog outputs (for live electronic music), double headphone.

Usage: Home Studio, Live act.

UTILIZATION

Quick installation, but the firewire connection as I advise you to read the instructions carefully so as not to burn the FW port.

GETTING STARTED

Shame!

M-Audio hardware is the good quality but the drivers do not follow.

Example difiant with Firewire 410: We are almost in 2008 and the drivers are not vista that the Beta version so that the system is available for technical teams + a year.
Rsultat: Many bugs are Submitted audios, especially with software like Ableton Live.

Apparently the Firewire 410 is far from being a priority at M-Audio.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.

Most: A Quality audio, Pr-amp correct in that price range, Double headphone.
The -: Drivers mdiocres, rarely updated by M-Audio.

The quality-price ratio could be excellent if the drivers for the Firewire 410 taient meet the requirements of software operation, or M-Audio does not seem it proccuper.

With the exprience I will not repeat that choice and direct me to other solutions, especially to another brand that shows a more professional about the rigorous monitoring of these products because M-Audio is far behind ct of re l.

- For what purpose?
I use the firewire for the beatmaking of hiphop!
with Reason 4 and Cubase SX3!
I find her very well for this use in midi
and audio side is really nice! (for a good quality sound using a small preamp)
few problems at the beginning driver but since everything is going!

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
PC: Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz CPU, 1GB of ram! nothing grand but its tune very well yet!

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?
I use a master keyboard in the axiom 25 and two small audio monitoring from M SO (AV40)! I get an excellent latency around 10ms!

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
no problem but need to know if a little bit anyway!
What me this is my first sound card ...

GETTING STARTED

OVERALL OPINION

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes and no because it's a good sound card!
but the trouble is that I no longer entered besion of microphones!
So in j'compte changed to something with that MIDI and monitoring!
so if somebody struts interessant!
I sell 170euros firm price!
with all the bundled software, drivers without the box!
(I'm upside down on your own in a package well protected!)
Moreover, it is still under warranty!

N not buy this card is good for first but after 3 months it is completely the west three times in different SAV 3pannes
once it works once its not working
After seeing it work and rapidly making its not working
the immedia is a horror

council does not like me
I know c estfacile to say but better buy a little more expensive and do not have, and c is the same for all m audio accessories

M c audio is a bit of Lidle's cheap but no taste

UTILIZATION

A leak

GETTING STARTED

To avoid

OVERALL OPINION

Forget

There's everything you need in e / s for a small home studio, even if more than two physical inputs have not seen tons of refuse that I have nothing to use the spdif.

A priori, it is solid: it has 4 years I believe I am the owner of this troisime soundcard that VCU and moves a lot (former owner techno DJ), and two from three scratch, it is impeccable!

Uses in its direct HS pramps instrumentals for static and dynamic microphones and sometimes also to plug in a small mixer rpeter.

UTILIZATION

No problem installing, be it on XP Self-powered via firewire with my round (TI chipset, as prconis or Vista with my laptop in 4-pin (Dell Vostro 1510, chipset?) . I have a friend with same test on his macbook, of course no problemo.

Parc software that came with a little anecdote (or light versions of dmo) dj nice but probably for beginners.

GETTING STARTED

Stable drivers, there's also a new version last month. Their customer service email plutt is nice, for a technical question about the mix they rpondu me in two days and then followed a small, even for me as far from being the first buyer. This small software / driver is also pretty damn, we begin to be a world a little "pro", was good!

I use Live and Protools m-powered + lots of plugs, all it takes to compose and record easily without worries. Gnrale latency (in + out) perfect for recording in CD quality, in 10ms, so no audible latency to the beats of plugs, and if I live in rpeter monitoring. I increase the latency mixing on projects heavier, say from 8-track, and I have no problem sticking a lot of software in the mix. Just be careful if you go up the frquence (96khz style) and if you add plug on configs muscles too, as a saturated course faster, but I do not use it eventually the dj is the quality as it is. Anyway, it works well if you know how to use its hardware.

The sound is good carrment was enough to make both in terms of pramps microphones that made for direct instrumentals, there's something to mix with an excellent record. It's great on my KRK output, and headphone outputs are of good quality (also two headphone outputs, it's really great for work and two to catch!)

OVERALL OPINION

I honntement for a year and I do not see what you can ask for more but may be a little lack of volutivit and two physical inputs under certain circumstances (but hey if we also have a mixer is OK). If a fit, like me, in your needs, it's really good I like the quality of sound, ease of use, I / O, solid manufacturing, etc. .. .

The report qualitprix is ​​more than excellent - in time, it's really royal.

I had tried several other sound cards, including a digi and a motu, and honntement the diffrence in price is not worth the shot: plug in the same gear, and the Difference of quality is really not at all obvious, especially if its done properly taken or that mix! So if this is in addition to drive plugs, make mixes or add VST, I do not see the intrt because the converters are well on the dj trs FW410 - except when actually we want a full professional studio, but everything must follow the rest of the stuff from beginning to end in this case ... Anything I have not put the 4000 in there!

Clearly, I'm really not at all mcontent have made this choice: Do not believe the rleurs with some prcautions (such as a chipset brand REFERENCE forums for firewire) and a small minimum comprhension, there's zero-worries, it's good hardware.

CHARACTERISTICS good on paper.

UTILIZATION

Big Pb compatibility with many chipset. Sometimes it works a while, then starts dcrocher. (Many examples and personal observations through the opinion)
Good if you're lucky (and thus one of the firewire chipset compatible)

GETTING STARTED

No one - not pro - unusable (for me)

OVERALL OPINION

I do not really understand the success of this card that only works if you have much luck with computers! I ended up selling mine who had so many pos PB, despite several configs and a trip to SAV That of two colleagues did not give them more confidence, she can not recover for the live!

Given the mdiocrit its manufacture and the instability of its drivers, I do not see the Intrets of this interface, given the competition! By the way, I have a buddy aid to install the Pro 610-No more! as Pb, DS installation. So voila: audio-lovin ... Notice to the fans!

A quick comment to lay Previous notice.

this interface was released a few years ago DJ
c'tait a 2 or 3 firewire interfaces available the era.
(It costs 450 euros!)

Today it is a little recess Datey included M-Audio.

For the rest I'm happy APRS have essaybr trs /> a number of other models of the era (Hoontech, esi, edirol etc).
