I bought this card to replace my config EMU 1212M + Yamaha mixer, because I found the sound that came to squenceur n'tait not quite clean (probably more of the Yam that the 'EMU).
So I wanted a card that has to rev pramps good, I have long hsit on the number of entries, but in the end between two mics for me it's all done enough.

So I use this card to the amp and connect times a bass live in it.

From a perspective Aesthetics and finishing, it's solid, it is far from the somewhat cheap competition (Presonus at the top), the map is relatively large, fortunately There's the Dock Removable carry around (what I would do when I have three sub invest in a laptop).

Little trick me "bothering" some prsentent this card as having 8 inputs, no, it's not the case, we have two entries each prsentent 4 connection options (XLR, Jack instruments, and two lines), then certainly they can be combined, but it still will not leave as two separate signals.
on the other hand compared to the competition, it has an insert on each voice, and it's handy to add small effects hardware.

It is connected to a PC
Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 (2x2GHz)
2GB Ram
Windows XP SP2 optimized

UTILIZATION

No worries installation or incompatibility in 30 seconds and install it PRTA function.

The frquence of Sampling and size of buffers is rglent in no time thanks to the virtual ultra clear.

The manual is against English, but hey, overall if you scratch a little computer and you have a little experience of such hardware, it is almost useless.

GETTING STARTED

So I use this nice toy with Cubase, and it is a simplicity dconcertante, once all your between Connect, the knobs (trs of good quality) and the various buttons trs disposs well and picked up Manir explicit, it's simple. Select the source (mic, instrument or line), rglez gain, and basta.

The volume knob Big Knob type can be very useful for even the two headphone jacks with volume indpendants, nothing more, and there is no need.

Pramps level, not much to complain, they are transparent, with a beautiful dynamic, breathless, has radically changed me to my table Yam (though not so bad given its price). Only small BMOL, they lack a bit of gain I think.

In terms of latency since I only the audio is imperceptible

OVERALL OPINION

This is a notice post hot, just installed this morning, so I 2/3h boss to do the work my microphone jack's bass lines, and I'm dj won is really good stuff with a trs report quality unbeatable price.
