Converters, high-end
The 192-k
-Format firewire / adat
-Performance
Its inputs, outputs and especially many monitoring rm for pilots

, Connected behind one of my laptop, a hp p4 3000mghz
the goal is to build my fleet of production / mixing and live

compared with a 192L wamirack card I have and which is already admirable (but not perfect, the grain of the Fireface is gggranddddiose (+ dynamism, refinement in the grain, db .. enhanced treble sound even better , .. I am delighted

I'm out the 8-track outs in the wamirack 192k tracks directly in the Fireface .. the buffer is set to 512 by 192 k. ... live4 two (I do not pass through mixer)
I have to equip a second laptop p4 .., I'm saving for a second

UTILIZATION

Installing fun
I first go around on the net, I flashed the rack .. installed the updates
rocket science

I received a big spiral English manual .... and a booklet in french very clear .. congratulations for rm a very important detail

GETTING STARTED

On his first day everything is niquel

apparently the drivers are constantly updated in
.. I use-live4, reaktor5, REASON3

compared to the wamirack192 esi, buffer latency and latency of the soft ds Fireface is very very low .. unheard of

OVERALL OPINION

I love her rack
its power supply cable to computer format
what I like is that it not freeze when the sound goes from soft (Reason to its settings panel is strange .. for now

this is my best interface in terms of quality
I have a wamirack192l with very good converters, but also below the rms

I had an Edirol FA101 that I do not recommend ... because there is no listener edirol, followed by some drivers .. darling (600euros) .. but it is on design points important as the concerns of breath, the abscence of ergonomics laborious mix .. .. in short, all the OPOS F800

magifffique parcontre craft a flat ... it's so delicious that my laptop is bad ducoup the road

this interface is far from being super stable as the infallible wamirack
short repeated crashes .. alas

I am mixed on this point. because its price is expensive
(I use it in its entirety) except ADAT and word clock
