All user reviews of 5/5 for the TC Electronic Konnekt 24D

Used primarily on a Mac with Bootcamp (Windows Seven 64-bit) for FL Studio 9 and more rarely on OSX with Logic 9, I made a few shots with voice. I use regular DSP integrated (but not use live)

UTILIZATION

On Mac, it runs like a clock with very low latency.
On Windows, it's another story ... It depends. Latency is higher than in Logic (although reasonable) and sometimes my DAW (FL Studio) suddenly emits no sound (overload) and the card is full ("unable to stop this device ")
I then have to reboot or enable / disable the firewire controller in Device Manager)
However I do not want to throw stones on TC Electronic: My Windows is a 64 bit BootCamp partition and I do not know if there are possible causal relationship.
The drivers are no longer updated since this product has been replaced by the twin impact.

GETTING STARTED

Installation is simple. Updates (firmware and / or drivers) have always gone well. The setup is even more simple apps that come with the card are made (Control Panel, DSPs)
The manual is very thin but wide enough.

OVERALL OPINION

I use for almost two years and I'm happy. I love the DSP (C Fabric, Fabric R Assimilator) that make me seriously want to buy a Powercore.
However, I will soon buy a PC for free use Apple Bootcamp and it will test for the Konnekt 24D if I encounter the same concerns or drop out of saturation, I think I would change card unfortunately.

These small personal inconvenience does not affect the qualities of this card: It's like having a beautiful sports car. We always groan when transitioning to the pump but we are still happy to ride with.

Purchase for 2 reasons:
- Recording studio preproduction before
- Rehearsal at headphone with a rock band

I use you with a MacBook 2Ghz + 2GB Ram + Leopard (Firewire)

Nothing is perfect so I put 9.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable (in 8 months, only 2 or 3 crashes).
Used with Logic Pro 8.

In preproduction recording session, I record each instrument.

In rehearsal, the entire group is plugged on the card, connected to Logic Pro 8:
- Low (with pedalboard) connected to input 1 + Plugin Wave Bass Amp Simulation & MarkStudio 1
- Electronic Drum connected with Addictive Drums midi
- Voice plugged into Input 2 XLR (+ + plugin Wave equalo Q10)
- Piano connected to input 3 (+ plugin API Wave)

In rehearsal, it is possible to check in real time, with 4 simultaneous tracks and great sound
- Finally, if perfection exists.
Everyone has his headphones connected to a housing multi-headphones, itself connected to the card.
With plug-ins on Logic and quality converters, the sound is impressive.

GETTING STARTED

Installation went very smoothly.
The manual is very useful on the Internet.
Map quite accessible overall, provided it look a bit.


OVERALL OPINION

I've had it 8 months.
I had never tried before another model home.

The pros:
- A number of entry sufficient for my projects
- DSP reverb quality (and availability of a compressor)
- Sound quality converters and preamps
- The look
- The price of 200 euros used (in perfect condition)

The -:
- For now I see none.
