The brand (very subjective, I know but it had been years since I expected to be able to offer me a vriae sound card brand and the Unicorn ...), the number of I / O-preamp with simultaneous- order to implement projects consistent, the Cue Mix monitor the quality of mulitiple converters and frequency of sampling, and finally, the legendary compatible with MAC and the choice of Digital Performer 4 (also waited a long time) ... the possibility chain a FireWire external HDD was also decisive Incidentally, the console standalone ....

Above all, the desire to have quality equipment that foncyionne carefree (to make music and not the computer) after passages through a whole bunch of other apps and configs of varying quality, I will not mention the names ...

UTILIZATION

Installation difficulties, but capricious ... 2 / 3 ... reinstalling fairly standard in the brand, I do not think anyone know why ... yet it was very easy, without a manual, it's plug and play if the driver works for more, if not, uninstall / reinstall and it turns ....

I had the opportunity of also installed on a PC and there was direct ... Bravo .... XP

GETTING STARTED

Since the config (MAC OS X.2.8/DP4.1/DD FW/640 ram / G3600) is very stable ... the Update Sontra performed in near real time, much appreciated ....

No latency MONITOR, thank you the Cue Mix, and I have not blocked the beast despite my config mini ... I remember as a test carried out 16 mono audio tracks and 16 stereo read / record ... that could be better?

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 6 months, nothing to say ... except for MIDI which is still unclear to me but hey, I faufdrait plunges me ... Impressive value for money, it's professional equipment within the reach of the amateur ... tomorrow I will resign ...
