- 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.
