Value For Money : Excellent
# What characteristics have motivated your choice?

All in one interface that includes the 24/96 + midi + controller with jog.
I regret that this card have no heir compatible 64-bit.
I love the direct monitoring option: you can adjust the output level between the sound that actually fits in the card and what comes out of the PC. Super practical, not to mix virtual address!

# To what purpose?

Mainly for use with a EDRUM + BFD and record my bass

# What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk ,...)?

Asus P5B Motherboard-
CPU Core2Duo E7200@2.8ghz
4GB DDR2-1066Mhz
FireWire PCI Card with Chip Texas
-Mac OSX 10.6.6


UTILIZATION

* The drivers are stable?

Very stable, no drivers provided by the manufacturer, the card is directly supported by CoreAudio. on the other hand, it is not compatible 64-Bit

* What software do you use most often?
I mainly use Reaper

* What latency you get?
It is stable at 4ms to play with BFD

Ten, never tried more


GETTING STARTED

Plug is ready.

# Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Apart from 64-bit not.
The jog dial is well managed by Live but not great with Reaper

# The general pattern is easy?
yes

It is useless.

OVERALL OPINION

* For how long have you been using it?
I bought it new in 2007, I never so well spent 125 €

I like the simplicity of use, low latency. If you hate maps where you have to 2am on the soft rot mix supplied by the manufacturer before any sound, it is for you.

UR-80, Fast Track USB, Fast Track Solo
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent

Yes, undoubtedly
