CHARACTERISTICS: see website
192 kHz N / A..peut be the last gnration.sinon hum hum ..
What caught my attention are the 8 outputs, I could use my console to the mix and of course ProTools. Because I do not think to move to Mac for the moment, and installation of PT + digi cards on a PC is fairly tedious task that does not MRIT that loses its energy. When I need to spend a TDM or HD I will consider buying a mac. A properly configured PC competes handily with the mac.
Too bad for only 2 input, 4 t have the minimum for a map of the CATEGORY.
Use home studio and making pro
Config: see profile + Acer 2GHz Pentium M, chip intel/2Go Ram / XP
Use with portable and fixed on a Soundcraft Studio LC (16 channels in / line). Connects 4-pin FireWire and PCMCIA 6-pin (+ qd same transformer) in 6-pin to desktop PC (no transformer)
Voice recording, guitars, bass, instrumental world
UTILIZATION
Installation is hassle-free, up to the very important day because I did not beginners Access in the Sampling Freq. and a concern with internal sync, it dcrochait. Strange bugs. It's back to normal after Maj. (now) -2 pts
No icompatibilit but I'm still rest on intel chip (north and south)
Config relatively simple, for who knows how to work a console. The re-re with zero latency functionality is quite fragile (see after)
No manual ncssaire. The drivers are installed like any other peripherals.
GETTING STARTED
Drivers fairly stable, I had 2-3 dcrochement in re-re with a lot of tracks in reading, but it was quite rare.
Are they often put day? I did not check too often ..
Use of Nuendo (Audio + Vido), PT, Reason, samplers, and various MIDI (virtual instruments etc.)
Latency turns around 40ms
2 track record at the same time, I have not had the opportunity to try the S / PDIF, playing a 20 + audio tracks 3-4 returns effects, honorable, I never had tural problems in view of the machine.
For there against a big deal about the quality of internal management and I / O I have the impression that serious I / O are not standardized. In between there is a line saturation Converto fast enough even at low rev paradoxically, according to his desire. The pre-amp not pay mine, and it goes from time to time there are words like click below. XLR connectors fragile.
Using the zero-latency: yes, but for overdubs, it's pretty average. Yes they had to agree to play live .. But above another guitar or the drum .. aye aye is not pro at all. That said the two headphone jacks are great, the infinite knob dfois freeze, reboot ncessite, not pro either.
OVERALL OPINION
I used almost a year, the number of the chosen output silent what I was looking with a PT, c'tait nickel.:
+: 8 outputs, firewire, ProTools
-: Converto A / D and D / A saturates too fast, too low headroom, regardless of reserves in
dynamic, it lacks analog inputs supplmentaires 2. Latency could
down a little, considering the price and competitors.
I regret my Layla24 in Echo PCI card (first model) for a few years ago, it just perfectly silent, but the money does not grow on trees yet. I have left of the right Coastal and Digi002 888, motu 828 and I had an Alesis Multimix its release:
Conclusion:
I went from Tascam (US-1641), 4ms latency to a minimum and a password alone, no stumbles, it just makes music, too bad for PT at the moment, I made a little edit above.
The Alesis Multimix of silent VERY stable, she dpann well before 410. but hey it was a bit heavy transport.
Echo Layla 24, no Submitted Moreover, it is not comparable pro M-Audio.
I do not remake the decision to invest in M-audio, but for beginners and get your feet it can be pretty good. Edirol also works well if not better even, but I have not used directly
