My motivation was simple, the less I have stuff to carry and better I feel! lol
Seriously just look at the technical features it offers!

AMD Athlon 2600 +
Asustek

I use it for recording live and studio ...
UTILIZATION
Installation is really easy! First the drivers and then connect the FireWire cable and voila!
For now no conflict met just a software bug in the console from time to time a path just disappears down the master fader and then to go .... Here ....
The general config is simple and the ability to switch between the different mix (9 in total) is terrible (Hands or .....)!!! Phones
The manual is in English .... only a few pages ... but by digging himself well in the console one would find enough facilemnt .....
I would put a 9 for this little annoyance of the voice disappears .....
GETTING STARTED
The drivers are stable for now and no problem to move from window to window sequencer console mix (card), especially during recording which proves it is not too cumbersome .....
To update it too new to say ........
I use it with Cubase SX and the ....
The lowest latency I got is 4 ms with my current PC config but without loading a plug too! Otherwise the CPU saturates! Obviously you can have a latency of 0 but it is a recording of the incoming signal not listening out (bad for the engineer who wants to listen to what he saves!)
At the moment I record 8 tracks simultaneously because I have not yet acquired di DIGIMAX FS (coming soon )....
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about one week of intensive ..... It is really easy to use, I love the precision of his conversion nickel really very precise and without particular coloration, but to be honest I was really afraid when I connect a microphone above the first time since it has necessary to push the gain of more than half to have a good standard ... j'au had more balls as it was a condenser microphone ... with a level of correct output ... I'll let you guess for my dynamic mics .... I had to boost the gain of about 55 dB to wait for the desired level (of a male voice) ... but have the class A preamps There is no breath .... ahhhh ... relief and no coloring either at this level! But it's pretty good binding imagine a female voice asked enough of the kind Norah Jones .... you imagine pushing the gain back?! So I'm pretty disappointed at this level there!
After call to the support I was told that it was a choice because the preamps are used both for line inputs and microphones so as to avoid a return Bouraine input line they opted for choice ca ... (I'm not sure because with the EMU 1820M prémaps (TFPro) have rarely exceeded half and they were also provided for online / instrumentals and micro .....) breath and no less accurate but I confess .......
The value was excellent for me, it allows up to 26 inputs with ADAT equipped with word clock .... and MIDI ... compared with EMU 1820M (map I know very well) point of view of a sound (it's still what interests us) the presonus is really winning (despite the need to push the preamp) the sound is more accurate, more dynamic and config is simpler in terms of routing.
Difficult or impossible to find more complete with the same quality ....
I would do without hesitation that choice ... But still I did not put a 10 to cause the problem to gain at the preamp (I said all along that this problem exists on the mic inputs because I have not met and line inputs on instrument)
