Best value:
Excellent
Choice of this model to its full connectivity, and overall performance as a function of price.
Used on a PC (today) quadricore, 4 gb ram, dd TO 7200tpm, etc.. Cubase and Komplete, with an Axiom 49, a micro m-audio luna, and a keyboard Rolan FP5.
computer music "semiprofessional" miking acoustic and midi instruments, pseudo-house production ...
UTILIZATION
The drivers are relatively stable, but do not load the mule! Or do not often change pc: she likes it. On the other hand, they are not updated frequently: once every 2 years?
Software used: Cubase essentially Komplete 6 and 7.
Number of tracks: I sui not a glutton, I used to max 20, and holds up the card reading (that is abused by greedy with effects on it)
The latency depends greatly on the size of buffer:
suddenly, when I save, I choose very small sizes, and latency falls below 10 ms.
When I export my song, I choose a maximum size, latency no longer intervenes.
GETTING STARTED
Installation is a delicate moment, we must respect the order: first, Cubase, then after (...) M-Audio.
The manual is brief, and I believe in pdf. The general config is simple, but for a beginner, it is opaque! FY thank you for helping me to understand.
I have not encountered any incompatibilities.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since 2005. This is my first external interface (before I worked with sound cards built into the motherboard: FRO).
The feature I like most: his range of connection and even excessive for my modest needs.
I like the least: some instability and crashes.
The value seems excellent, I think above this target m-audio is the first step aim pro world. If we do not afford the cards (and products) m-audio are very valid:
especially today-hand, one can find less than 100 € a case on me!
With the experience? I have no other experience ... In any case, I do not regret this purchase: thanks to him, I was able to climb several steps in my career Apprenticeship Maoist!
