- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
All, but especially the 16 live inputs for decision and decision batteries. The quality (and level) of preamp inputs and 2 lamp.
- For what purpose?
From the home studio and especially taken essetiellement batteries which caused problems with my firebox.
- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Core 2 Duo 6400
2 Gos RAM
320 7200 rpm HDD Gos
Windows Vista Premium 32
- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
For now, I have taken almost as micro direct (static and dynamic). I also recorded live on a low input tube and a pod (entered online for the latter)
UTILIZATION
- The installation is done it without problems?
Unfortunately not in my case, two good hours of stress before the operation. If you encounter trouble sync, consider using the "Safe mode" in the console of votes of the card, it will save you a few good hours of stress.
- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Yes, with Windows media player. But problem solved after using Safe Mode 1.
- The general configuration is easy?
On that side, nothing wrong, it's just childish to use.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
First, it is in English, personally, I'm not pose a problem but it can be problematic for others so ... I think it does absolutely nothing. No mansion of Safe mode for example ...
GETTING STARTED
- The drivers are stable?
If you have read the beginning of my opinion, you know not. Nothing dramatic (I could use it all weekend without any problems) but this is a list of concerns faced:
- Plantage very rare but still crash Cubase SX3
- Using Safe mode 1 instead of the normal mode (which're not, normal ...)
- Obligation to reset the card in cubase at each change of project (it takes two seconds but it's still boring).
- Are they often updated?
Knowing presonus, and as they have eight months to release the vista driver for the firebox, it is clear that the answer is no.
- What software do you use most often?
Cubase SX 3.
- What you get lag?
I do not know but the three musicians recorded the pros I have nothing WE noted this point of view. Imperceptible in any case (and I would say between 4 and 6 ms)
- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
The maximum was 10 until now, but I'm sure you can save the hassle-free 16.
For reading, I went up to 37 or 38 (I said no effect) and my CPU load never exceeded 15% in cubase.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
1 week with a weekend of intense 4 days.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Most is the number entered. The least that the young drivers.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not in this Cathegory. But I have used for over 2 years and a firebox of course, the difference in quality is undeniable (as is the price!).
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Unbeatable with this level of quality and equipment. Note also the software package and plug in high quality comes with the card.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Despite the concerns of stability, without hesitation.
