All user reviews for the TC Electronic Konnekt 24D

Features:

- Quality TC Effects (reverb integrated), noon.
- Windows 7, 3GB of RAM on a PC laptop.

UTILIZATION

Use:

So far it thickens. My home operating systems were not stable at all. The computer does not really bear this sound card (what had already happened with another card that I returned). To acquire a modicum of stability, I can download a firmware + update an old driver.

I was barely able to register (cuts, drops outs). Drivers are updated fairly regularly I think. I think the latency was quite low, but the software supplied with (TC NEAR) did not give me any info and crashed and caused the whole system with him.

Listening from the computer was impossible. No sound.

However stand-alone use was clean, I enjoyed a few hours of the reverb - very good quality.

GETTING STARTED

Implementation:

The installation itself was made without problem. Incompatibilities obvious to anyone with an HP Pavilion I strongly recommend this choice.

I think the map is very good but compatibility with my computer was impossible.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion:

Useless if I can only enjoy the stand-alone card.
I will not repeat that choice, I go home I have more than enough Mac incompatibilities.

Map to home studio
Low input / soties quality and a priori
Laptop 2GB RAM Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz
Using the TC Konnekt 24D for 3 years almost daily
Guitar + singing + vst twelve o'clock

UTILIZATION

Quite unstable firewire drivers
Plant regularly recommended for the live or Mac then?
Cubase, EZ drummer, East West, and NI ... legal software
Pretty good latency and update

GETTING STARTED

No hassle of installing

OVERALL OPINION

3 years of use
Value for money review: pay € 509 for 3 years of life
Neutrik input jack / XLR slammed so I'm pretty neat stuff in
Problems of signal outputs which leaves only intermittently now, when more than 3 hours of use
LAMENT considering the price paid, quality review which explains the small year warranty ...
Warning for those who want to buy the TC Impact Twin the same model in terms of components so short-lived potential

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.

Originally written by Ray Manzarek on Audiofanzine FR.

Features:
- TC quality, effects (integrated reverb), MIDI.
- Windows 7, 3 GB Ram, notebook.


UTILIZATION

Use:
Problems start here. With my configuration, the drivers aren't reliable at all. The computer didn't support my sound card at all (it already happened to me with another sound card I had to return). To get a minimum stability, I had to download a firmware + an old driver update.
I could hardly record audio (lots of drop outs). I mean, the drivers are regularly updated. I guess the latency is short enough, but the software provided (TC Near) doesn't gave any info about it, it crashes and crashes the whole system.
Computer monitoring was not possible. No sound.
However, it was ok in standalone mode: I took advantage of the reverb quite a few years (very good quality).


GETTING STARTED

Operation:
No installation problems. Obvious compatibility problems. I strongly advise all HP Pavillion users against this product.
I think the sound card is a high-quality product but it is totally incompatible with my computer.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion:
This sound card is useless considering I can only use it in standalone mode.
I would not buy it again. I'll buy a Mac because I'm fed up with compatibility problems.
- I returned it.
