- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
The possibility of routing, quality "heard" of the mic, the possibility to use it standalone (without PC).
- For what purpose?
Home studio. Composition (Cubase SX), retouching and editing audio (Wavelab) video editing (Premiere Pro).
- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Asus P5AD2 - P4 3.6 GHz - 4GB RAM - 200GB hard 4 (1 x 3 x SATA and IDE).
- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
Pramplis microphone, DAT, MD, K7, monitors Yamaha MSP5.
UTILIZATION
- Installation is it without problem?
This installation does Premire couraging drivers with the latest issue date (V2.1.0.2), I have not used the driver CD that came with the machine. Same thing for the soft internal (flash) that I put in V1.89 days. No worries particlier installation, except that the machine does not recognize his Premire power, and that contrary to indications given in the manual (connecting the equipment then turn it on), the recognition was done by turning first and then connecting. No big deal, but I am having the same issues possible ...
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
Not at the moment, APRS use in my main apps (Cubase, WaveLab, Premiere).
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
By reading the manual and APRS some tests, we can say yes.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
It depends on the passages. Some features are trs well documented, others leave little doubt casts (three FireFace use of a port in simultann IEEE1394b (800M). But overall, it is fairly complete, translation Franaise is not stupid, and reading one feels that the designers have sought rpond couraging a product that users' expectations.
GETTING STARTED
- The drivers are stable?
For now, no worries in WaveLab (V3) or Cubase (SX3). However, I got a crash in Premiere with fixed lattence 2ms (problem seems he known in RME, and was to be rsolu with the latest driver). But this problem has occurred only once, in Premiere, and as I chose to keep the lattence 4ms, has not impede me. I must say that it is still a bit cool (just a few hours of use) to be REALLY goal.
- Are they often put day?
I do not know at the moment, Premire install, drivers dats of commencement in May
- What software do you use most often?
Cubase, WaveLab, Premiere.
- What you get lag?
4 ms. I know we can go lower (2ms), but worked perfectly as is and that the delay is too low to induce me GNER, I leave as a.
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
At least eight recording, I'm not away with all the 8 analog inputs. No worries (a right would have even surprised).
In reading, I did a test with 32 tracks wav 48K / 16 bit (full tracks of songs diffrent Events and not to rely too much on the "proofreading" RAM) without any dcrochage.
Not tested pousss with many recording tracks while playing many tracks, my main need is to record a track or two while reading a few.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
Few days.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The Settings window Settings (inputs, phantom power supply, etc.) is a bit unreasonable in bulk, but people come here all the same. Too bad the PC is Necessary for the activation of phantom power supplies, but good. Routing possibilities inputs / outputs are excellent, I sold my patch 48 points!
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No.
- How do you report qualitprix?
Trs good.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes!
- Other
Cubase SX3 apprci does not change the digital audio interface, and crashed systmatiquement each boot (ACCS violation in module ASIO). I have to uninstall and reinstall the. No worries however for Wavelab and Premiere. I put on a good sr on behalf of Cubase.
If using FireWire on 800M (IEEE1394b) under WinXP SP2, consider installing the patch from Microsoft that fixes the bug speed limit (limit DBiT 100M after installing SP2).
