Hello, I chose this sound card for the following reasons:

- Possibility to use it alone on my Adat 01V96, which
add 8 and 8 pramps line out!

- Possible to have direct micro pramp 8 on an Asus laptop and
and to avoid the 01V96 to capture the small concert
sound recording 5.1, or other ...

- Possibility thanks its routing advanced enough to use it pramp
for the 01V96 at the same time it is connected to the laptop.
We can thus provide a record of eight microphone inputs of the card + 1
SPDIF and ADAT output 8 of the 01V96, a total of 18 entries.
(26 by adding a card in the adat supplmentaire 01V96)

This is really Firestudio trs versatile and report quality price trs INTERESTED because for the price of a Presonus Digimax FS or the Focusrite OctoPre, I have a good sound card too!

My laptop is an Asus L5G

UTILIZATION

Before buying the presonus FP10 I test that my seller had in stock, to see how this included the drivers on my laptop, it connate too well the problem of random image trs firewire chipset compatibility with our expensive notebooks!

The FP10 is well behaved and trs trs appeared stable, so I'll say it for the FireStudio trs that seemed close, j'tais sense not to have a surprise. ..

I say no luck, I dont not, however, gave up and started searching for jai

Fortunately, an update of firmware and new driver qun Beta DTRE was posted on the site of Presonus.

Since all lair DTRE OK, I remain even when mfiant, but I lai test in all directions and cest plutt not bad, I expected it rpond without problem

The Manual is in English, but it is well done.

GETTING STARTED

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days.

Concerning the quality of the converters, cest trs correct, I havent been able mempcher louver, the unit is very well RALIS the srigraphie is good potentiomtre the quality of earnings are dentre A10K and B10K for headphones and hands, which explains quil fault turn the knob a bit much for gain from, I find the logarithmic curve of the potentiomtres dentre misnomer and

Cest tration so slightly worse than RME, but for the price diffrence and all the possibilities
