Value For Money :
Excellent
Features, cf. Manufacturer website <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> What motivated my choice is the fact that it is in Firewire that AC is an M-Audio and has the minimum required to mumuse with: sound in Reason, recording a time or two samples time, and then here.
Configuration: MBP 13 '2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB of memory.
Usage: home studio (or rather bedroom studio), associated with M Yamaha HS-50 and Reason 3.0, allows to spend free time making music ... not need voice recording (for now), no registration required hardware.
Firewire connector (!), We suspect ... attention to M-Audio Firewire only delivers 400. Therefore inappropriate to recent MBP, must go buy more cables ...
An output to the monitors used Yamaha jack, another output to my hi-fi amplifier (jack / RCA).
It suits my use.
UTILIZATION
Ultra-stable drivers, you go out last on the site, we put it in Applications, clicked, and voila. It's simple, it's Mac.
Used all the time with Reason, or Audacity, if I used to iTunes, watch DVDs ... it runs pretty quick, no problems! Reason has recognized it right away, no worries.
Big latency obtained as using Reason 3 (PPC) with an Intel Mac ... So rosetta Chow 1 / 3 of the CPU without doing anything ... then 10 tracks, including some "big" combinator and Reason comes quickly to the end ... but it is software and not the card.
GETTING STARTED
Installation? On the Mac, no problem (pléonasme. ..)
Config ultra simple, the operating system is very well done.
No inconsistency.
Manual clear and sufficient, available on the site.
OVERALL OPINION
Use for 15 days. His clear and dynamic, I am amazed.
Good value for money, considering what it can offer, I use that 20% of its capabilities, I like that the margin ... I got it to 300 euros in a store near Pigalle ... New! So pretty good!
A rather annoying feature, the necessity of lighting the Profire BEFORE starting the Mac. M-Audio heavy emphasis on this, so we obey ...
Since it corresponds perfectly to my expectations, and it fits in my battery budget, yes I would do this choice <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
