Best value: Excellent
I chose this card because:
- EMU 0404 I took my head (not stable and trs means noisy computer (mouse, hard drive))
- It provides XLR with phantom power
- It is compatible CoreAudio and all "Maceux" are happy (I'm still on PC but the ct dark force draws me inexorably)
- Report quality price

Essential uses:

Taking voice via microphone static (B2 Pro)
Using VSTI

UTILIZATION

Installation nickel and no reboot
No inconsistency
No need to read the manual

GETTING STARTED

Super stable
Latency up to 1.5 ms (but I have not tried to load the machine with lots of vsti greedy)
You can record 4 tracks at the same time

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week and I do not know if I will not make it!

The report quality is good but the prices of the inputs is prampli even when fairly feeble:
I have to put the gain at max and I have to sing up to 10 cm from the micro

When you push the gain and not only the breath is quite large (with or without connection cable so it's not the fault of the microphone) but there are rumors computer (mouse, hard drive) and c'tait even when one of the main reasons that made me buy an external card!
I am therefore obliged to pramplifier my microphone and going through the line between the map.
In pramplifiant my microphone with my table and through the card in my PC intgre is also good and always better than passing directly between the microphone so I INSPIRE do not see the intrt to have this card knowing that with the drivers get ASIO4ALL I get 10ms latency with my sound card intgre and have much less noise that Computer 'with my EMU 0404.

Damage

Otherwise it's true that if between the muts, there is not a pet of breath even with the release content and dynamics are good trs.

I will not go if I had known this choice
I'll try a better quality prampli my table before making it (we never know)
