All user reviews for the TC Electronic Konnekt 24D

At the time, I bought it for the firewire, versatility, MIDI, ADAT I / O and S / PDIF, 2 headphone jacks ... ..
And quality preamps.

I record analog synths, vocal mics (AKG 414 etc ...) my piano and sometimes guitar and bass ... On Macbook pro (2012) and iMac (2008) by location.
I said that my shots are used frequently in pro productions, mixed posteriori Studio Pro.

UTILIZATION

I never had a problem of stability, with no computer (I have used several with the same card.

I've never met limits tracks (I recorded to the maximum possible on this card with external ADAT preamp etc ...)

Latency is very low with a recent computer.
I mainly use Logic 9

GETTING STARTED

Children installation, clear interface nothing to say ....

OVERALL OPINION

I used for almost 7 years with happiness and fun!

Most managed by the internal DSP are excellent, they are also useful in monitoring the socket (you sing with a small compressor and a super reverb in the headphones without latency) that plug in to the mix.

In a word, this card combines all the good ideas from all others in its class.
The two headphone outputs, one who mute the speakers, inputs 1 and 2 lined rear selectable by a simple switch, 3 scene memories for use in stand alone ....

I am a professional musician and I regularly use a lot of other cards in lots of circumstances. I certify that if there is a difference in sound with RME, it is almost inaudible. However, it is much more flexible to use and much more clever!

I just bought the Studio Konnekt 48 more inputs for remote control car at the price it is sold now it's just a killer !!! Provided I keep my old 24D for mobile situations or config "B".

Finally, I acknowledge the long period of TC electronic bashing to be partly responsible for the abandonment of the area by this brand .... This is unfortunate ...

Used for taking voice, composition noon and mix.

All connectors needed to do everything!

Preamps very decent compared to others in this range.

Outside of the compressor (Excellent) I do not use the plug before tc which I do not ecstatic malgrès the general opinion.

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple and practical, including stand alone.
Some cracking in minimum latency windows but mac PrtSc.
Big community to address potential concerns.

GETTING STARTED

No worries, I highly recommend.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now, I have now changed to a m-audio ProjectMix but I kept konnekt as preamps so it is better than the m-audio.

I think for the price to keep long, at worst converter a / d when I would have a beefier preamps.

Quality unbeatable price!

The Konnekt 24D is a full featured interface that has powerful but quiet pre amps. It has firewire connectivity and two high quality mic inputs that can be switched on the go to hi-Z instruments like guitars. It comes with Cubase LE which is a great value for an interface of this quality. You can use it as a stand alone interface as well and it won’t need to be hooked up to a DAW if you do not want it to be but it does get its power from the connection to a computer. The effects are in real time (DSP).

UTILIZATION

This interface was not the easiest to set up, but it didn’t take long. I used it for about 6 months back in 2009 and still own it but do not use it any more. The plug ings that come with it are very good and they add great value to this interface. I was using this interface for a portable set up of mine.

GETTING STARTED

The preamps are very good, they are clean and they also have a lot of headroom. To be in this price range you probably will not find something much better. There are 3 input gain lights on it and 3 knobs. The interface seemed to be built pretty well and could handle the tough life on the road. Out of all of the times that I used it, I never saw any physical wear and tear on it and it never had any issues as far as not working properly and I was using it almost every day in a different place.

OVERALL OPINION

This interface was not made to give a great sound quality because for the price you could not expect that. The quality was decent, and worked well for me to get some ideas down while I was out and about. I really enjoyed working with it, it is a shame that they are not making it anymore.

OVERALL OPINION

I used for 3 months


j I try to avid fast track c is worse! the rms in a friend I have not seen the difference? buddy as I no longer have to invite he was surprised by the sound quality of the device compared to what he has read but its good c was with the old drivers!

I did not use it to its maximum, what I say enough for me and that it can bring happiness to a lot of people, for € 200 is hard to beat.

I do it again without hesitation NIOHC this project even heavier style orchestra etc. .. for that you can pair up to 4 therefore enough to enter and exit.


I'll add this map view comments demmarer very badly because of crappy driver, but the new driver excellent and nickel hardware part!

What motivated my choice:
To say that I have reflchi before ordering.
But what has prevailed is the reputable TC, the mixed reviews about the pramp the ultralite (its competitor), the limited I / O analog compensated by the pr SNCE of adat and the two effect busses internally.

My config is based around a MacBookPro CD2.
Connects with firewire so it reoit signals from microphones, synth but for now this is not what I exploit the most (except for some testing with static and dynamic microphones), essantiellement working with plugs and vsti. no power supply ncessaire, as the TC port powered firewire mac.
Portable use of attention because the battery while mac is seeking trs.
trs good price in relation to the CHARACTERISTICS.

UTILIZATION

The plant has many pos sr no problem.
No incompatibility with the Apple hardware, if not prsence one firewire port on the mac, then the obligation to the string dd the outer rear of the train konnekt24 .. it accepts without complaint. I am considering ending for using the firewire 800 port for the mac hd.
Some crash due nanmoins management by firewire mac. nothing very mchant, at least nothing do with konnekt24.
I also take the trick, so far using a sound card in PCI format, strong as an ox and Tournat no ppin Deou of luster (Echo Layla24, which offers firewire did not convince me by the way).

The manual is clear. He does Necessary for apprhender routing gr by trs TCNear good driver (in universal binary version 1.2beta). The configuration is gnrale facileet the control panel before Konnekt is ergonomically trs.
The Konnekt is more attached to macbookpro in alluvial So, what does gche nothing.

GETTING STARTED

The stability of drivers is to go, and they are put rulirement days. The team is interested in TC this card is like a bte say, but we feel we have not done to take advantage of advances in this map (see the forum for more d Details about the functionality dernires add).
Logic Express under no problemo, latency faiblissime around what I had in pci.
Not tested on large multitrack projects, but I is not afraid to be limited.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in December 2006, APRS have pretty pist.
Prt buy it, the pro-review on the site HarmonyCentral convinced me in my right choice. Once we install IMMEDIATE t buddy.
The quality of primary pramp silent for me, I'm not at all deu t, even surprised!
Let me be clear, in terms of audio quality is perfect, really nothing wrong the it!
The two internal effects are more than just more.
monitor section offers exceptional comfort in the workplace.
And the possibility of ajouet numrique in I / O supplmentaires comfort me.
In stand alone mode, the Konnekt makes me smile, it's childish and very practical and works perfectly.
So good, so, I would do this gal budget choices, and even if I still think the RME multiface400 I start couraging in terms of quality audionumrique, they are the eye.

Opinion of 10/02/2007. see changes in the conclusion of 27/02/2007
The reputable TC motivated my choice. I bcp galr Hoontech media with 7.1, I would certainly not fall into this scnario. So I spar the Hoontech and I deleted the mixer. I no longer use the card. I'm all alone so musicoter 2 analog inputs are enough for me. I use channels 3 and 4 (the other two analog I / O) to insert an effect with my old analog racks, a MicroVerb III, behringer compressor and a compressor DBX possdent that no E / S numriques. I connect an SPDIF Fantom XR. Your exact more than adequate, I am satisfied with TRS. I use a laptop with an Intel T5500 and 2 gigs of memory.

UTILIZATION

The installation: less than ten minutes (dballage card included) and it works the first coup.Le manual (I read it once every install!) Is provided in PDF. The filling can monitor prs what you want to request an opening of the manual to learn a possibly subtilis. In fact I find impractical and cell in the heat of the moment we do not know where we are too! better use their favorite software to select what one wants to hear.

GETTING STARTED

I had no crash with the original driver, I'm changing usual! Super. The update driver / firmware allows the use of effects (reverb and compressor) as a VST plug'in. But the plant ca! But these are beta versions. With Cubase, when we want to tweak the means SETTING THE reverb or compressor the squenceur s'arrte! Can not rgler ear ral time! may be a conflict with the dongle / WIFI and the trick fantom XR (all this is connected to the USB ports) + frquents crashes. With Sonar crashes rguliers galements. The update adds a chromatic tuner that did not sduit in its operation. So I went back to the drivers and firmware base. The all goes bien.J 'also have a desire to warm boot. Should we turn on the ds card as soon as dlais APRS launch windows if you do not want to restart the whole Systm! There's just leave the card all the time like that Allum more worries! Power over firewire (6br) trs works well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. the case of scrap, siouplait gives confidence ... I found the pramplis, the sound quality and the effects of trs good bills. Ergonomics t think well, is simple to use.
For just over 500E, was something that PSE heavy bump that well and the look. No more crunches! Ahhh finally ...

Added 27/02/2007: rsolus problem! Cubase and the map are not to blame, poor configuration of the computer's ACPI silent cause of my worries. The new beta version drivers with effects plug-in works well trs.
For the rest: no change.

I use this beautiful card to record my various synths and from time to time for the "field recording".
I chose the Konnekt given its technical specifications: a DSP, a preamp of thunder, a look ... how to say ... beautiful and solid appearance.
when you take the machine in hand (the Konnekt so) we feel that it is good mail!
I use a PC (P4 3.2GHz) and PowerBook G4 867 ... and it runs smoothly, even on the pc. This is to say: o)

UTILIZATION

- Installed without any problems ... Just rub a pit on the PC that required a second start. nothing serious!
- Incompatibility .. > Flush at the moment
- The config is really great, it's clear that simple ... it's been a long time!
- The manual ..??? not bzoin

GETTING STARTED

I use it with Cubase, Reason, Live, Reaktor, and nothing wrong .. it runs without cracking or gene of this kind!
I did not really push to assess the stability of the config (less than 10 tracks)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month ...
I personally do not see a default ... I previously had an m-box and a presonus firebox (kept 2 months). This is where I realize that digidesign is not really here and that's not presonus punchy sound that everyone is talking about. I rediscovered an ITS with Konnekt, fine details appear, the mix is ​​more open ... and especially the preamp and finally I hear something my microphone and without breath or bzzzzzz of its kind .... really it sounds!
For over 15 years I've been in music, having worked on many console and synth of any kind I get a quick idea of ​​the sound coming from a machine. I want to say that this interface is a real success both as noise and ergonomics (software & hardware).

Use from 1 month to essentially the tekno.
My PC config is a good 2-3 years ago, just boosted for disks (SATA RAID Stripe) ...
My config is heterogeneous: ADAT to use the sampler, analog inputs for the K5000. Changing a setup (next purchase of a G2X).
I bought this interface to replace my old system Creamware (Pulsar II).
I started to use all the connections from the second week of use, except for the SPDIF. Nickel!
Updated on 19/04/2007:
I seems there a problem with the MIDI card, which does not look very strong side Sysex. When large shipments, the card is not responding fast enough, or lose data sysex!

EDIT: Big problem with the ADAT. Let me explain: I can not use this interface in full duplex ADAT, ADAT outputs with configurable routing and therefore can not use it as a monitor and an external effect. Big disappointment because I largely config to use it also as a reverb-off.

UTILIZATION

Installation and implementation worthy of a fairy tale, but as I worked for 4 years with Creamware, I doubt that conmprendrais my objectivity on this issue!
No incompatibilities encountered, except Skype software in sessions with my musical double, Cubase and started running behind the virus (yes, I know!). This is probably due to the CPU to the card elsewhere.
Configuration to operate just took me 20 minutes to several hours to route my external hardware and its effects with my Cubase. The routing is largely fixed but leaves the possibility of working in multiple configurations, which are neither more nor less, than those we usually need (-1 qd same). One note though: MIDI is not multi-client, if you're talking about (-1).
The manual has been of considerable utility in connection with the ease of use of the card.
Updated on 19/04/2007:
The Assimilator software supplied with the card does not install at all (can not find the card while it is turned on and connected).

EDIT: Let's talk about the drivers! All they would not mind that, before delivering an updated driver, it might be useful to test it??

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and changing, which is a good sign.
It seems to me that a reputation is at stake, through the advances proposed by TC. This map represents the first line of an entry for them in a market highly competitive intent where the error is commercially sanctioned, given the number of parts to be produced. The updates are quite common and offer more than just bug fixes (the beginning).
Very good stability and stability to 512 samples to 256 samples correctly.
My latency is a reflection of the sometimes extensive use of my PC with no other applications that drive my motherboard into a corner is good. Otherwise, it's firewire!
The number of tracks is determined by the number of effects in Cubase I ask (and I do use my PC, see above), more than my card itself. I am currently playing a dozen tracks (MIDI VST instrumentals and external) and a dozen audio.
Updated on 19/04/2007:
Latency problem with the version of firmware and sotfware provided to install (1.03).
Stability problem with the latest version to date (1.10), especially for the use of effects plug-in mode for the sequencer, but more latency.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this corny for a month and I am satisfied.
I like the sound first! A clear, clean, clear and unadorned (compared to the converters that I know through and my Creamware sampler). I also like the effects, which are much more than make-up effects for my taste. It's simple: they allow a self-generation entry-level pro, with the help of converters.
I have not tested anything other than Creamware and RME (and SBLive for those interested) and my ears make me think that it is much better (out of proportion for Creamware, more difficult to distinguish from RME but even qd).
The price charged up for me this card for direct comparison with Creamware the low end of the time when I used it and I say that technology's help, we can only gain in terms of sound quality! However, I would not compare this interface with its direct competitors on the market, even though I do have the right choice for my setup, and especially for my connection.
I would do this choice and I'll do it again soon by the way, since you can chain several.
Updated on 19/04/2007:
Finally, I will wait to see the next update of the driver and soft drinks before you even consider keeping it because you have to juggle a few problems that seem unworthy of such an interface.

EDIT: No, finally ... I do not have that choice and would do point me to the equivalent in terms of quality of conversion but in PCIe as much flawless, in terms of stability!

2 preamps with excellent quality, full-line input, SPDIF in / out, ADAT and noon ... Ok, nothing is missing.
PC Athlon64 3200 +, 1GB Ram.

UTILIZATION

A bit of hassle to install, had to restart 3 or 4 times to the locker after a driver update the firmware of the card, but then quiet. stable. If you have installed anything on a PC, it will run normally

GETTING STARTED

Drivers stable when calibrated properly. I use the card with Nuendo, and live. I go down to 2.7m latency (128 samples stable), but I keep the margin and remains at 5.3m (256 samples) to ensure stability. I have so far tested with 4 simultaneous tracks and it runs smoothly, so I think we can double or even more depending on its config. It's always "config-dependent" anyway, but I have no doubt that I could record a drum with 12 microphones simultaneously if necessary. Mention ultra good for preamps that are monstrous .... Big headroom and impressive clarity. This is exactly what I needed. I have a Joemeek twinQ is very clear and very large, but less "clean", with more character on the other hand, and TonePort that sounds with guitars and loads of very nice preamps but rather typed vintage, much less rights also those of the Konnekt.

OVERALL OPINION

Bon ben, it's really good interface. I leave a Delta1010 is already really good, but in line inputs (and PCI) ... No monitor section, no preamps ... And dropped after two years ... And strangely, nothing to listen to songs, we already feel the difference in clarity. The signal is incredibly clear ... CT is short: clean, ultra dynamic, well-designed.

-The price compared to the same quality of the interfaces preamp terrible!, The effects Intgr
I use it for recording models (rock, rap ...)
Celeron-2.4GHz / 1.5GB ram / pci firewire card with via chipset

UTILIZATION

As against this has to gte some

THE FIRST-after installation I had problem of dropout when playing music or other files, it was in April that there was a conflict between the Konnekt and my old modem pci (!?), once abducted more than this one problem ...

-After 2 months of use the card back to sav, phew warranty! Cause: The volume knob rpond do more, and the sound increases by itself for no reason (super. ..)

-The manual is clear enough, a little too clean my taste but hey I'm quibbling

GETTING STARTED

-No problem with the drivers, 7ms in 256, but a lot of people seem to have problem with them, go take a look at harmony thing on the forum you will see the card as it heats A DEATH ds so he does a little hot in the pice I leave lights not more than 3-4h I do not want it melts lol
-Quite a few up days
-Used with cubase sx
I do not use in recording a track by a

OVERALL OPINION

I have used it for 2 months and I must admit that this card is really INTERESTED many levels, its definitely good preamp, although transparent, its effects on Systm monitoring.

I would put in BMOL attention to drivers if you are running Mac, the knob fragile (at least on my card c'tait can be a default of manufacture is common), and the furnace it becomes tbr />
-Before I used a sound blaster live (w and a test mbox
Quality-price ratio well, I would not have had the highest deficits problem I would have said excellent

-With the exprience I would wait a little bit more to go kick a little Fireface, which I think Reserved fewer surprises ...

- Attracted by the quality of pramps, DSP effects, analog I / O + numriques (S-PDIF and ADAT), so scrolls.
- Use home-studio, recording again, and in the near future pr Live with midi keyboard + VSTi
- Laptop Toshiba M30X
- Numrique Piano, MIDI keyboard, guitar, microphone

UTILIZATION

- Easy installation and quick.
- For the first against the night I had a desire to cut his (Drop-outs) ... I was afraid, but in fact my laptop via the mode "ACPI" to "Standard PC", everything is back to normal. Since no more worries! ^ ^
- Configuration by simply turning the Control Panel, but also directly on the map in stand-alone mode.
- Manual paper Reduces the minimum, if not it is in PDF.

GETTING STARTED

- For drivers, I installed the latest direct ... but there's some problems in terms of DSP effects to the integration of VST, which is quite normal for a Beta version.
- They seem to be often made to date. I think that bump well on this card at TC Electronic ^ ^
- I use energyXT and Cubase LE (included)
- Where before with my M-Audio Audiophile Firewire I should be 512 for the buffer size, I can easily be 256 or 5.8 ms of latency with the Konnekt!
- I have not tried more than two tracks simultaneously at the moment, but I think there is no problem at this level.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for a few days.
- I especially like his pramps (ca 9.5 is just beginning to blow on the knob!! Or almost back ^ ^), DSP effects really are not widgets, they rip! The sound is very well Dfine, much better than my M-Audio.
And then you have really nice prciser it is this sound card also ...
The only BMOL is the fact that I had to find by myself how my worries rsoudre cuts of his first day on ... But the SAV looks aware of the problems some users and I think they bossent the hard top (this is the first sound card TC Electronic). But when I see all the worries Caus no external sound cards, and that regardless of the brand (MOTU, RME including ...) You can not blame them ^ ^
- Before, I had the M-Audio Audiophile is not bad for its price, but the RCA above. A friend of EMU in 1820, that's all I know.
- Quality-price report really honest I find.
- YES I would do this choice!

I am a dj for a while computer music.
I started with a RME Multiface I then sold the Fireface 800 to move in the same brand.

Result of financial worries I sold my Fireface 800 and I started looking for an audio interface more modest in terms of functionality but would not make me lose audio quality (which I m'tais used to with products RME).

The TC Electronic Konnekt 24D has t read as quickly given the lodges that can be read on this board (review of SOS, Recording, etc.. And even Audiofanzine).
In short, a quality interface with great flexibility, a DSP and a price Intgr well thought out! I therefore launched since all I was looking CHARACTERISTICS taient runies in this product ...

UTILIZATION

Installation on Windows XP is no possible problem: it installs the drivers (for my part I directly put the latest 1.2.2 rcuprs on the official website), we branch card and everything works!

Well that part does the installation is nothing wrong for my part of the ct.

GETTING STARTED

Hey, is that the things are not right!

I knew, having traveled the forum Audiofanzine that many users encountered the problem of 'drop out' audio with this card (cuts its random image).
Unfortunately I did not screed ...

I run a simple audio file player and it's a catastrophe. The sound is hach ​​Fawn compltement random image. It works without any problem 5 minutes and all of a sudden he y 'sound interruptions every 10 sec ... then works again. Sometimes a compltement crashes and Windows no longer allows me to play audio files, only a reboot of the Konnekt Remde there but only a few minutes before another crash.

I try to change the Firewire port, I make a clean Reinstalling Windows XP, try the famous mode "Standard PC" instead of ACPI that seems correct this problem for a lot more but I trouble than anything else with all the configuration changes.

APRS short one week struggle to make it stable I gave up: I sold the card and I dbrouiller to keep the RME Fireface 800, which she never hesitates and whose drivers show a dveloppement copy from RME!

OVERALL OPINION

Finally I have a deep sense of gchis with this product.

The interface is beautiful, well thought, with good pramplis, the DSP's internal quality, high-flying audio converters, etc.. Ms. price trs honnte view of its services.

But the game has all drivers gcher ... In one week I have not run russian Fawn stable yet and I'm not a computer beginners. This card could approach the perfect product if TC Electronic leaned a little more about the drivers.

I do not want gnraliser well Obviously this is my own exprience with this product (which also works perfectly for the other) but that j'espre tr s soon as the software part will be the height of the hardware, which is far from being the case at the moment! Too bad because I will have preserved otherwise happy ...

Brief concludes: trs a nice interface high quality unfortunately served by more than mdiocres drivers (for now at least). Case continued ...

I possde dj since the K24D a few months and I must say that the choice to spend an external audio interface (firewire) APRS having an RME HDSP 9632 (I always elsewhere) n 't is not without apprhention as the RME is a MODEL of quality and stability.
They are in fact many CRITERIA that made me choose the K24D compared to other cards in the same price range (see suprieur).
As Saxophonist (Alto Sax & MIDI Yamaha WX5 & WX7 (windcontroler) I needed an interface allowing me to use both in the studio and reptition scne, the TC was therefore impossible e quickly enough is a big plus compared to other cards on the one hand the quality of its sound quality converter providing what I call "Pro" and also by the possibility of using the integrated effects including the operation is assured thanks to the DSP board and are a part of trs good quality and also extremely useful when the rptitions (no need to walk an effects rack supplmentaire)
I use this card with the following PC configuration:

Case + PSU Antec Take 4

Cubase SX3

I prvu intgration in a flight case or a rack like this (see photos on my profile Audiofanzine)

In the studio the TC is connected K24D Quad 405 amplifier and passive monitor artisanal production.

UTILIZATION

Installing the card is no particular problem just follow the instructions given during the installation of soft gre management TCNear that the driver, the Control Panel and updating the firmware .

I tried to use the same PC and the Konnekt 24D RME HDSP 9632 but it seems that the system becomes less stable, so I removed the RME in my configuration.

After a few trial and error we find fairly easily rglages perform according to each utltisation, Note that it is possible to configure 3 DIFFERENT setup and recall all the momment even if the map n ' is connected to the PC.

The manual is rather well done and covers all rglages and functionality of the card (plus it is a version in French)

GETTING STARTED

APRs have been some problem of stability of the driver of that drop-out gnrait trsdsagrables audio, and with the support of TC Electronic, now I have more problem me and I can open windows mediaplayer simultaneously (for playing mp3) and Cubase SX without any problem. The updating of drivers and is rgulire and thanks to the onboard DSP can CT prvoir adding new features (the tuner added at a t up day)

I use this card with Cubase studio and maintenent stroke V-Stack and scne repetition.

Latency is used 5.8m (256 samples)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this card for 4 months now its versatility and sound quality make it an enjoyable particulirement card use. I will certainly add an AD / DA converter interface ADAT grace in order to increase the number of input / output.

Versatility + (connected to the PC and standalone without PC)
+ DSP => effects Intgr
+ Audio Qualit
+ Qualit effects

- I do not see

Given the quality of this report card quality prices head up in the cards in this price range to see cards suprieur a price significantly.

I reffer the same choice without hsiter

Motiavantes CHARACTERISTICS: FireWire
Home studio use, making small personal records.
Config: 2 phones: a P4 2.4 medion ghhz, 2gigaRam FireWireTexas; XP
a Toshiba Satellite A200 T50xx 13V dual core, 2 Giga of Ram, FireWireTexs, Vista Premium.

UTILIZATION

The install; book with old drivers on the CD ..., update site via TC
Installation is hassle-free by walking against impossibility to use this card without dropout, and cell-free clik on two laptops!
yes I have everything on both virtual PC (anti virus, disable periph etc ...)
At my dealer this card works well and an old pc su cel (tour )..!!
(FYI I tried and bought a nickel FireFace800 works on two PCs and cell even if I am on the net with d anti spy and antivirus running in the background ..!)

GETTING STARTED

I have nothing here could do anything whatsoever with this card on my PC anyway ....

OVERALL OPINION

Ben actually I do not understand, my dealer told me that the cell does not thunder there was the same problems with Sony Viao desport, THIS IS probably a problem of bandwidth on the PCI bus or bad implmntation of FireWire on the map that the coup is very insatble with a PC or other ..

I bought this card for its looks (a goes well with an iMac), for its reputable Intgr and its effects.
I finally I try, I get into the composition of an iMac 24 "with an e64 EMU, an Ensoniq TS10, a nylon line6 Variax guitar, bass, yamaha.

UTILIZATION

So here I bought this card dj 6 months ago, and trs quickly back to the store, I had that bug!
But when I repeated the same not having abandoned my FireOne, which worked great, for better sound and more of.
APRS 2 / 3 days Galare drivers, and about the results catastrophic, ie cut-ups, crunches, dcrochages, obligations restarting ... I shall decide to make a large format.
So reinstalled OSX + update 10.4.10, drivers 1.4 .. O, miracle, everything works perfectly!

GETTING STARTED

Submitted A, and for 3 days, the drivers are stable mchamment, but I am on my guard!
It works in Live 6, 128 samples of latency RULES 4.6m, even on a running 64 samples ...
The more I test must be between 15 and 20 runs over a lot of plugs, and nothing to say.

OVERALL OPINION

A week ago I have this card, and I am happy that finally, it works! And it works really well! The sound is excellent ... I really started realizing it, my ts10 synth sounds better through this card, the overall imaging is clearer and more prcis ... and then the DSP, I think There's really good.
The reverb is superb, raliste, and the compressor trs good. Systm is the rglages of spcial but Ralite trs effective. For example, to the compressor, no need to take the head with the ratio and the release, please choose the instrument you are entering, and it was RULES alone, you grate the APRS rest. In short, I am not a professional, but I'm starting to understand some things, and my ear tells me that this card is excellent!
I had to buy the Fireface 400, I'd be curious to compare trs ...
Besides, if someone can compare trs Object Table I'm all ears!

I chose this card for its sound quality recognized (prampli excellent). Then TC is a REFERENCE in terms of audio hardware. that it is in firewire too.
Couraging to use models (audio, midi).
I use a Sony Vaio VGN C1S Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of RAM.
I am a guitarist based. Gibson Les Paul Std, but an old bass on which I added a Seymour Duncan PB. For audio, a Seagull.
For now, I have no Midi Controller, but will soon. ; +)
The possibility to evolve with the ADAT ports.
The effects are also a plus.

UTILIZATION

Installation without problem. It was not until I run the install 2 times. Bizarre but hey nothing mchant. I directly install the latest drivers available on the website of TC. After installation, the branch and it works. Time to install: 2 minutes.
Need to be addressed a little while the software tracks but everything is clear is russi.
The manual is well done, no worries.
In Samplitude, a direct work, no worries.

GETTING STARTED

Not too soon to give an opinion on the stability of drivers. However, information taken from version 1.3, the card works nickel. I expect this to be the same for me.
I use Samplitude, and various VST. The latency is great. I have not had time to do a job consquent with many tracks and effects. I will update my opinion, if I have problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that yesterday. Purchase as new, has not fit in the budget that I m'tais fix. I could make the Konnekt 8 but not n'tait scroll and then she was only two exits.
The sound of this card is HUGE. Clair, prcis. It does not color the sound, it restores a fully usable by its effects, whatever they are. It's really his forte. In addition it is trs beautiful, and its aluminum housing trust. It's solid.
I have a lot of discussion right and left before I DCID. In dpart, j'tais party on AK1 Native, or Firebox. But frankly, every time, I was given the same rponse: TC outperforms the others in this type of card. Given the number of returns and problems caused by the Focusrite Saffire LE, I zapp quickly, even if apparently this card has a good sound.
Without a doubt, I would do the same choice. This card is very well Designed, beautiful, and excellent sound quality. Congratulations TC.

What technical specifications motivated your choice?
firewire (external card), two pramp IMPACT
For what purpose?
primarily acoustic recordings and some MIDI
What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
PC Pentium dualcore 2ghz, 2gig RAM

UTILIZATION

Installation impeccable, but update the site all the same manufacturer ncessaire.
I met the problem of drop-out windows to beginners: the desire came from my modem card mre.une Intgr a problem once dsactivle silent r ... finding solutions in order dj notice prcdant (!?)...
Once this problem rgltout works nickel, the interface software of the card is trs clear intuitif.configurer this card is a child's play!

edit: the problem of drop-out windows ... eventually persist APRS various attempts, I finally rgl concern using the latest version of winamp 5.35.plus of concern since but persists in VLC media player and even! Tc could not explain why and how ...

edit (2): Since the installation of new drivers 2.0, everything works perfectly!

GETTING STARTED

Drivers Updated regularly, they are perfectly stable.
used primarily in rewire with Reason and Cubase, the term "zero latency" is MRIT! can easily get to 5.2 ms latency, but I put a can (about 10ms) for the comfort of Pc ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months.
This interface is excellent! The establishment is ultra-simple, the rendering is just poustouflant, trs low latency, fully intuitive use (I have not even read the doc ...).
Before that, I went through the Eternal Audigy Platinum (no need to say more ..), I test a Roland and a MOTU last ultralite.Ce MODEL is the closest in terms of quality of pramps and converters, but the install, the signal routing and management of the interface is less intuitive than the TC Konnekt 24D.La is my opinion the best of his qualitprix CATEGORY I remade so that choice without hsiter! And with the latest drivers, the problem faced by many seem n'tre a bad memory!

-What motivated my choice? quality preamps, Converto of the DSP effects that can now be used as VST, although limited, monitoring, paradoxically, the number of inputs and outputs ...
-The fact is that I use home studio is primarily for recording vocals.
-My config: Asus P5B, Core2Duo, 3.5 GB RAM ...
-My mic is an AKG C414, speakers: Adam A7

UTILIZATION

-At the install, no worries, I have the latest drivers on the site of TC.
-No significant inconsistency, but I made sure to uninstall my previous sound card and verify that the card built into the motherboard was disconnected in the BIOS.
-I must admit, I have a good time to familiarize myself with the software .. not the easiest in terms of monitoring, but it's a good point because it shows qu'ya lot of possibilities.
However the manual does help!

GETTING STARTED

-Good, always because of "one says," I hesitated to buy this card bad echoes the views of the stability of drivers ... I doubt that there were big problems but please, when updates are made, do not continue to say that the drivers are unstable if it is not true!
No worries, therefore for me ... another thing: if you have a P4 with 512 of ram and you put the buffer size to 64 (or below as possible), I think is normal to have concerns for stability ... I put the size at 256 and saw my config it runs very well with 5.9 ms latency I think not really annoying.
I have not tested the number of simultaneous tracks

OVERALL OPINION

Do I like the most? the look .. lol! No. I like the feeling of having a lot of possibilities, again thanks to the monitoring well developed, even with the management of DSP card! It's nice to be back with a compressor, EQ, reverb ... For those who say that the effects are gadgets ... I would like to see with what effects they turn in general! lol. I'm not saying that the effects are extraordinary, but they are very honorable, soft spot for the compressor, because of its ease of use and for "Assimilator" which can be utilile if used well.
Before, I had an Alesis Multimix firewire in here too ... so the stability of the pilots was beginning to get on my nervous system ... and as the preamp is well below.
-I bought it abroad for 420 euros (new) so yes I would definitely do it again this election, unless they offered me a Fireface for the same price? ...

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?

The sampling frequency, the number of inputs, limited but sufficient for my use, the presence of ADAT ports and brand, known for designing the equipment of good quality.

- For what purpose?

Repeated recording and home studio config demos

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

ASUS M2N-MX, AMD 5600 +, 2GB RAM, HDD 160 GB S-ATA.
Windows XP Pro SP-2 pack.

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...

Used with a Yamaha V O1 connected to the ADAT ports, 2 Focusrite Platinum Trackmaster on inputs 3 and 4 (for the sound) ... and sometimes I connect an external effect in 3-4 (or TC M 2000 LEXICON MPX 550) at the time of the mix.
The software used is Cubase 4.

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?

No worries. After the first installation, I updated the firmware, and since the use is very stable. (My PC is exclusively dedicated to music)

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

No, no!

- The general configuration is easy?

Yes, it is clear, logical ... simple and effective.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?

Yes, since the first update.

- Are they often updated?

Uh, I do not know ... as my config is working, I do not regularly monitor updates ...

- What software do you use most often?

Cubase 4.

- What you get lag?

About 5 ms.

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...

For now, I did not go beyond 12-track simultaneous recording and mixing. No problems have occurred.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought almost a year ago, I like more the sound of the preamp. I advise you to plug in microphones that do not require phantom power, I do not think it is very powerful ... I much prefer to use external power supplies phantom (those of my Focusrite 2). However, for dynamic microphones, it works very well. The ergonomics of the front seems very well designed, I love the feel of the pots!
The rear connections are a bit tight but with a little planning, it is doing.
The only other interface is used before a 6Tone LINE Port UX-2.
That, in my opinion, a very good product, good price / quality ratio.
I do not regret this purchase.

Motivation:

Solid in appearance, plbiscite forums for global toy quality audio ...

Usage:

I needed a good map in the semi-nomadic rack for live (keyboards), so no need 8 inputs / 8 outputs.
FOR run on two configs:

* A Powerbook G4 1.25 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM, OS X Tiger for scne.
* 1 Imac Intel Core Duo, 2Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, OS X Leopard to prep the house.

UTILIZATION

Tests on three supports (the two prcdemment deficits but also that of my girlfriend, Imac Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz OS X Tiger).
It is the latter that the installation was no problem Droulez.
Update firmware IMMEDIATE, installation of plug-effects, IMMEDIATE recognition of the card, in short, a perfect!
gtent things on my config (the last straw!).

* The Power Book G4, instability of the recognition of the card, have to restart the computer an APRS sleep.
* On the iMac Core Duo, the carrment, laborious installation. The sound goes, the card accessible in System Preferences, but can not run the mixer of the card. Plante systmatique ... Obviously and I tried all possible drivers, from 1946 2009!!
The plugs internal censs very accessible format LOGIC Plug-in ... do not work!

GETTING STARTED

Apart from the problem of installation deficits above, and therefore a limit to the possibilities ACCS card,
in constant use (ie no standby), no worries, I have seen no dcrochage.

The big catch, and the highlight of my dception: MIDI latency in!!
I use Reason to Live, for example, 64 of buffer size, I get a minimum latency of ... 7ms !!!!!!
more than double than what I had with my Previous map, PRESONUS FireBox.
Knowing that a session on "normal", I hold the buffer around the 256.
Which gave me an overall latency of about 17ms. In other words, unplayable ...

OVERALL OPINION

Too bad .... Handsome, the "solid", the internal effects of quality seem interface when it works, looks pretty damn good and intuitive.
A problem of compatibility with some empty Systmes or machines. tested on three Macs and DIFFERENT perfect fit only one! It's a bit "in haphazardly," fortunately HOME Studio rglo on this and they gave me back the bbte without further formality.
I've always does on Mac for the sake of simplicity and efficiency (and Zolis Zicon, I admit
In re the Plug & Play, more than 350 for a card intermdiaire nomadic quality, latency = + DRIVERS inexcusable.

CONCLUSION:

I return my old PRESONUS.
At least she is recognized by my IMMEDIATE machines, without installing anything, turns 6MS average latency, and even if pramps blow a little, as the interface lgre of scne, IDAL and it is easy to use.

- Use: dmo only home recordings group Rock'n'roll 50's, 60's, pop, punk.

- Config: Macbook Pro Core2Duo 2.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB HD 7200 rpm / min.

UTILIZATION

- Installation: a lightweight bug while updating the firmware, test it to in the second pass without problem, simple installation.

- Finds no incompatibility.

- Simple setup, manual nickel although not super useful, as it is fairly intuitive thing.

GETTING STARTED

- Drivers stable, no problem.

- I use Garageband and Logic 8.

- I have recorded 4 tracks simultanment, no worries (it was t box). Read, in logic, 12 tracks with a dozen plugins in all, the bar to occupy the CPU silent at the lowest, we feel we are far from the boundaries of the Konnekt 24D.

Basically no bugs, except with the Fabrik C and R: quickly change presets Fabrik R bugger TC Near is the program that the gre interface. Just restart and presto, to walk again in 3 seconds.

One more: when I use C and Fabrik R plug-in and I export the project in mp3 or wav, sound is awful. We must use the "bounce in real time" Logic, and it works nickel. I think that GarageBand can not export in real time, so impossibility of using Fabrik plugin in GarageBand, and this problem looks quite common among users of the Konnekt 24D.

Besides a, level stability is the rve, not least bug report.

The sound is excellent also pramplis, I can have warm guitar sounds good, then I am far from being a pro studio.
Fabrik R reverb is quite beautiful I think the four algorithms are DIFFERENT and all useful, intuitive rglages after a quarter of an hour. I never heard rverb as good as plugin, but hey again I do not normment of exprience.

The Assimilator, which analyzes the legalization of a song for use on a project can be very useful and simple. Forcment, for a guy who knows about mastering it is a useless gadget, but for others it is one of the interface.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for one month and a half.

- What I like: the pramps stability, the effects, the standalone mode.
No default I think can be the number of entries (4), but I plan to buy a thing for Adat remdier the problem.

- Before I had a Hoontech I do not know what the PC. C'tait horrible. Prfre I avoid talking about it, I have trouble to find sleep and apptit.

- Report price quality: it is the only real interface that I know, but he looks pretty good, especially for the price there is also a good reverb and a compressor standalone. Be seen in the Audiosolutions 84, the price is really low and file a headphone prodipe Pro550 bonus.

- With the exprience, this choice I would do so, I was pretty clear the air. In my opinion, its only competitor is the Fireface, I have not test but it seems better pramplis, but no effect.
Edit on 28/03/09:

Some time ago, the card fails, she turns over, nothing. Dj she had done the deed, but the next restart. This time the not, a failure weeks after I Ramna the store, which sends it to SAV Lyon. It lasts five weeks, guys lose and then find the card, changed quartz and a 2 hop capabilities and to walk again. SAV perfected this, but now has to work, and the breakdown looks quite rare, I have read anywhere on the Internet for similar cases.

Buy both for recording voice-overs in post-production video / film and monitor assembly. C'tait IDE interface to have a good quality (reputable manufacturer and read good reviews of it so far without having to buy a card too with I / O that does not help me.

1.25 Ghz G4 on with 1 GB RAM DDR 333 Mhz. A home Beyer M88 microphone in between and Yamaha NS-10M symtrique output via a Yamaha P2075 amp for monitoring.
As software, Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 with Soundtrack 1.2, but Audacity 1.3.3, Garageband 1.1 and Cubase LE 1.10 comes with the card.

My only complaint is the lack of Word Clock. But it's really relative. Not needing the IMMEDIATE, it is more for the sake of volutivit

UTILIZATION

Too much problem to install and then stability. Fvrier Purchased 2007, sold in June of the same round. This opinion is rdig in January 2008 and TC Electronic has not dvelopp stable drivers. Take users for beta testers is simply unacceptable. And even if the service online support offered by the manufacturer is quick and trs plutt friendly and everything, it all of the same russi not mask that this card is not running correctly on too many configurations (drops out is a word that I can add my vocabulary).

In my case, I could never run this card with Final Cut Who Planted systmatiquement (while c'tait prvue primary use for this purchase). The solution, turn the card in standalone mini jack in and out of my original internal sound card to get into the Konnekt!
If not, has turned a few prs of the software on his deficits above, but I often reinstall the drivers and test the new updates. Unsuccessful and often even galres to return to rear.
It seems to APRS TC electronic day that the implementation in Mac OS 10.4.11 (or 10.4.10) rsoud part of the problem. For my part I could not wait until things improve (up apple day in June or July 2007). Unfortunately it seems that the time given love me right.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are often put day yet ... in beta version. great

OVERALL OPINION

So I used the card 4 months

+ Pramps of the quality and the conversion when it works. I recorded voices for installation that should be as sound tmoins. They have become DEFINITIONS tions as we pleased.

- Has not work for me. The drivers, it's really important trs. has served as my leon. I do not ever throw a shiny new product before it has been proven.

I used an mbox first version, a digi 002 and voilou, I was looking for an alternative digidesign, cheaper and better quality. could have a walk with good drivers. Can be in a year?

A choice not to repeat as long as we do not boast the drivers of the brand. I will now likely to turn to RME, more expensive but stable, or the essential and effective Digidesign, with a subsequent AD / DA converter and an external pramp. So ended the ide solution Intgr miracle

. Tc reputation and quality converters
. Windows7 PC config and it works!
. Recording mainly keyboards.

UTILIZATION

. No problem for the driver Iinst ...
. Works with Nuendo 3
. Discontinued so I expect more updates later ....
. Latency a bit high but nothing serious

GETTING STARTED

. Installation very easy after a little tweaking to work with Windows7.
. Config very intuitive
. No incompatibilities encountered.
. No need for manual use this card
