I chose this card to:
Prampli-use as in repeated (full routing ultra, used without computer)
Repeated on-record 8 tracks
Of live-register
Dmo-register with the possibility to easily get 16 tracks (adat)

And this good reputable brand because for mac.
2 main config:
1.ibook 12 "1.33 Ghz 1GB ram
2. PowerMac G5 4 GB ram 2x2.3Ghz

Used of cubase and logic in congif Describes above.

On paper: that of the ball: pramp good, very practical possibility to routing, excellent brief.

Transformer power supply in not very practical.

UTILIZATION

Installation without problem, but rotten driver for mac: consumes a max of resources. Basically, the iBook, even to record two tracks simultaneously in Cubase (SX or c4) is hell, a crack across ... D'APRS presonus, the iBook is not powerful enough. I call a rotten drivers of ... Playing four tracks with three plugs, and click around.

Huge dception this level l!

With coarse (PowerMac G5), was the fact, however! Indeed, good sound, great opportunity, nothing to say!

Et ... I just spent on logic, and strangely, it works much better with the card: I recorded a concert for an hour (8 tracks simultaneously on external usb2 dd), not a dcrochage , say anything, and everything on my iBook!

is this a problem with cubase the coup? Strange ...

GETTING STARTED

-Stable drivers in the genre: on the ibook with Cubase, it's always rotten
Updates-little frquentes

APRS, with a powerful machine has the fact (but agaant to have a card with DSP in the end it uses a lot of computer resources), and can work (like 30 tracks, plug everywhere, etc ... with imperceptible latency)

OVERALL OPINION

was still a great thing .... so basically:

-For a small machine: 0 / 10
-For a big machine: 9 / 10

even if once you are on a good performance Systm, was running fine, sound is good and trs many opportunities, has me a little cold on the brand.

go, I put 7 .. adpend really the computer on which you plug in a. ...
