Map 24in/out (12 in / out and 12 analog in / out digital), 4 high-quality preamps. Firewire connection. Multipurpose ethernet cable remote on.
I use it with a couple TonePort UX8 (excellent map also complementary with its amp models and preamps and converters of high quality stereo mix sent to the analog input 5 and 6 of 48), a studio preamp Joemeek TwinQ in analog 7 / 8, and a PC Athlon X64 3200 + coupled with cubase 4, 3GB RAM and 500GB HDD.
Side quality / quantity / price, it's hard to do more, especially with the remote control and DSP ¨ which allow the use Fabrik C effects (two instances) and Fabrik R (1 instance), which alone cost 300 € each. Not to mention the other plugs provided. If we did a quick calculation it is clear that pays virtually no interface if one combines the price of the supplied plugs ... Which is quite nice ...
UTILIZATION
Install once, reboot, and it is running. No conflict, implementation of plug-ins a bit complicated the first time, once we understand that traveling alone.
GETTING STARTED
Drivers stable home. Regular updates. I'm using Cubase 4, Reaper 2, live, lots of plugs ... Everything is stable and running without worry. Side latency is very low (256 samples to get 7ms latency 48kHz). I record rarely more than 8 tracks simultaneously, but in any case it remains stable 8-track ...
OVERALL OPINION
I received it last week. It's a great interface, drivers, despite what you read here and there are stable (at least to me, and I do not think being alone on this one, but are still disappointed that more noise happy). Side price / quality ratio is excellent in view of all that is provided (DSPs, plug-ins, remote control ...), a note especially for preamps that are really very high level: clean, detailed, Quiet, powerful. In short, real versatile preamps deliver you to have more if your budget does not allow it. I have other personal preamps and I guards, but work only with those of the Konnekt not bother me beyond measure, however. They are among the best preamps I've tried on acoustic instruments, for example (it is not in the detail and scope of a UA LA-610, but we must admit that's all also excellent). Short of any purchase from TC, breathtaking in terms of audio quality, it was for less than € 1200 a real pro audio interface, 4 good preamps, a conversion AD / DA high-level (equivalent to apogee), a Comprehensive connectivity and DSP plug associated ... In terms of least because it must (but you will see, this is really minor ...), the phantom power supply bundle on the 4 preamps that will not connect a microphone to tape at the same time a static if it is fed by the card ... Personally, I never use a microphone to tape, so good ... I will not remove a point for that ... And if I use one, anyway I have a lot of possibilities to connect it to other preamps in my studio, then re-good ... In short a good (excellent) card. Now that that's settled, I'll be able to invest in large preamps and compressors from Universal Audio and some new pickups ...
