These are the 8 microphone inputs that motivated me most to buy this sound card, and the number of outputs.
One regret: the RCA is not actually an entry, it is only through a remote Presonus, so no possibility of recovering the signal to the computer.
I use it for the home studio, mainly to save battery, but also in rehearsals for a recording group.
My setup: Apple MacBook 13.3 "Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz, 2GB RAM. I used it before with a PC, 2GB processor, 2GB of RAM.

UTILIZATION

The first installation was done on a PC without any problem, the driver has always worked great.
However, on Mac, the driver does not work at all, all channels glutted, unable to use the sound card. I enrolled in the Beta test program, and there, more of a problem, everything works nickel.
I found the driver very well, especially the possibilities of mix quite huge!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers were not very developed, but now they are very stable. I was using Cubase SX3 on PC, and now Digital Performer on Mac, use without any problem on both sides. (I use it for two years)
With the Mac, I have no audible latency. I can no malfunction record eight tracks simultaneously, and this for three hours.

OVERALL OPINION

I've tried any model before this one, so I decided is the Firewire connection. I've had two years, I am very glad I found the preamp quality, although I have not many other references, or experience!
I paid 725 euro I think, which seems reasonable for eight preamps and all the possibilities offered mix!

Without hesitation, I do it again this election.
