The BTE is the pice of my matress Systm with a mobile pentium M proc, 1mga of memory RAM and a dd 5400 T / min (before investing in an external drive term).

What motivated my choice is the 8 analog inputs (including 4 pramplifies) and the entries on numrique ADAT, making a total of 16 entries (18 if we add the SPDIF. I also harbor the t srieux design: between symtriques, beautiful finish, inserts, and all a. Finally the stability of Systm of APRS what I saw on Intenet completed my sduire. And I'm not since.

The icing on the cake: the 4 ports noon!

Sr apse is that its weight and it's a bit bulky for a config that would nomad!

However, aa look like much, but the look and reputable brand and trssrieux do when even in the medium is important!

UTILIZATION

Installation Nickel, but no manual. Y'en forcment not need elsewhere.

GETTING STARTED

Bte the trs is stable. I record with 16 tracks simultaneously without any concern with Cubase SX. on the other hand, it's true that if mixing effects too is necessary to increase the latency to avoid creaking.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for just 6 months. The report price is great quality. I think the only default is the size. But a good rack to ship.

I have no regrets, if not the equivalent chrez MODEL M-audio, had he not been so bad in terms of stability reputable Submitted the same CHARACTERISTICS in can be a bit less "pro" but super portable.

First and foremost this is a fresh opinion, I did some grappling with the beast.
18 inputs and 12 outputs, midi in 2 and 4 out, 4 channel inserts, complete monitoring, a brief price / CHARACTERISTICS interessant.Je serves me for now engaged voice, guitar and bass and in the near future with an expander.
Personal assembled pc with NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra + amd dualcore 4200 + 2 GB firewire chipset ram.Interface via.Dd SATA2 200 go.xp pro
the beats come into direct jack (switchable between hgain) and the microphone, well I have a choice!
I put 9 because nothing is perfect.

UTILIZATION

Installation without any problem by carefully following the RULES and use prcautions.
no incompatibility for the following moment.Pour I pass a config mini (p3 800 mghz SBLive drivers kx) has I must say that I was not too largu.Le t mix is ​​fairly simplistic Aesthetics but driving is flawless.
the manual is like the mix!

GETTING STARTED

For now give me the drivers Entire satisfaction and fortunately because the xp grind dernire date of commencement in 2005 I believe. (Mac people are slightly better off).
I use Cubase SX3 and latency is 6 ms (without forcing)
in the number of tracks I do not know yet but I turned a lot of effects and virtual trespassers with no sudden boom and fry! Even when the pc config is important!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week
have not been around the craft I can hardly judge of its peculiarities. The look is simple and effective and only a few knobs LGERS drangent me a little but only for home studio use so basta!
it's my audio interface and Premire vritable I think the quality price ratio is pretty good, mainly in terms of its assz compltes CHARACTERISTICS.

The connection is sufficient for a home studio.
The knobs on the front are a little light.

UTILIZATION

No problem, either with drivers or compatibility.
Everything is a cinch.

GETTING STARTED

I do not know how long I have not updated the drivers, since everything works perfectly.
I use it with Digital Performer on a G5 2x2GHz to 2ms latency for recording and live on a G4 with 1.3 GHz of 12ms to live.
I never reached the maximum number of simultaneous tracks playing, I usually records only eight simultaneous tracks, so no problem.
The table of internal monitoring is useful for decision by against the knobs are rather difficult to solve if we really want to be precise.

OVERALL OPINION

I like to use in recording, 4 MIDI outputs and especially the sound!
I regret a little knobs on the quality and size!
the price / quality ratio seems to me good, after two years of use and a lot of travel, the card is nickel and still works perfectly.
If it again, I might choose the version with faders ... Obviously it's not the same price!
