8 inputs symtrique, same output, plus an input / output optical recording 96kHz-24bit, which should work to correct, again, between 7 and 8 are switchable input xlr microphone are on the front, also on the front, a MIDI in / out, like the rear, and two FireWire input / output word clock.

Recording studio.

XP2000 +, 512ddr, 80Gb + 2x120Gb is no longer a "big" config that day, but it is still proven and even more.

Live recording from a Rodex CX-1100, a Korg Electribe MX on between 3 and 4, a microphone input 7, a connection south of to a korg pioneer efx-1000 and return on the rack .

UTILIZATION

Installation problem in win xp free, under win2k it does not work, I tried ELSEWHERE TerraTec mentions only for Windows XP. Drivers fournni mac but not tried since I have no machine.

Config simple, do not, however, drivers on the site, are less recent than the cd provided by the firmware is against INTERESTED, the original is on cd if problem. I do not know that things change, I had flashes immediately after installation.

Fairly complete manual

OVERALL OPINION

A good time

It is simple and efficase, pity we can not yet connect several in versionb firewire (in up to four PCI possible) but it will come. Useful the PC free, it retains its last config. Useful when I used the Korg without specially recorded on the PC. Its 19 "for rack integration and cable 4m all provided. Nothing to chance, everything is planned.

An M-Audio Firewire 410 a pot, but I prefer this one.

Purchased in Germany 399, a ceprix is ​​a pleasure ...

For we can couple more, I will return two copies to mount 24-track studio on a table ... without hsiter.

I put around 9 because we can always do better, but in its category, is a champion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1year, trs works well as well as other models motu or top of game, report qualitPrix unbeatable, I would choose to remake hsiter Besides, I'll probably buy one PCI version to switch to 16 tracks ....

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

Ability to record 8 tracks simultaneously.
2 with phantom power (XLR).
Firewire port.
I use it to save my battery once or to add effects live.

I have a small PC config: ASUS AMD Turion64 1.6 GHz A6Km 2GB RAM
Used either directly or coupled with a table ALESIS Multimix 12
I would put that 9 because I would have liked a little on / off switch, I am not too fan to switch off appliances at the wild live on taking ... But we must not forget that it is a rack version also ...

UTILIZATION

Trouble free installation on a PC.
Installation of drivers, manual effectively.
After that, you plug and presto!

GETTING STARTED

In terms of drivers too many problems, although it happened to me during a concert (a concert) to lose the connection between the rack and Cubase SX rather annoying right?

I also opted for a new driver more accurate in terms of latency than that provided original but slightly less stable I think ...

I shoot with a latency between 4 and 7 ms (at worst).
I still have that recorded eight tracks simultaneously, I have not needed more for in home studio is used as a motu for my group.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 1 year and a half.
The best with this rack that's simple, you plug, turn the knobs is disconnected ... etc
The least that the top plate that vibrates with the bass or transportation is a bit boring.
Before buying this rack, I used my table is either the mkII Motu our home studio.
Level quality / price is nothing to say pretty good.
I think I would do this election if the opportunity presented itself.
