All this seems trs full, even if I admit I am totally new to the Contents. The knobs are quite thin, prompting caution.
I did not identify any background noise or particular problem.

UTILIZATION

Everything is clear on this product that is a standard console and 12 tracks of good quality.
This is also a sound card if 12 tracks with a computer interface, and also it works perfectly without any lag with my configuration (Pentium IV 2.8 GHz with 1GB of RAM).

I note a small BMOL level drivers that are not compatible with Windows XP 2000.Aucun problem.

[edit] Other lack After a few months of use: it lacks a knob for the volume of the grate back of the computer 2TK to the main runway, or else a way to route it back on track. The simple use of the table to mix the two winamp application example of using two other sound cards, then one would have t ncessaire with this function.

And as pointed out billouze, because it lacks the management comtpe MIDI and the motorization of knobs, and a CD player Intgr a Hair Dryer and a machine caf.

SOUNDS

As far as I can tell, the console seems to me indeed transparent: pramplis quality are not significant blows, and qualiseurs are impeccable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week, and I think it's a matter vritable (419)
I do not trade against two barrels

Its main strength is the FireWire output that lets you add VST effects on the tracks in real time, and especially the possibility to record 14 tracks indpendantes. J'apprcie also the sound that I feel transparent.

Small penalty: not compatible with Windows 2000 but you can not really talk about weakness. Note that Mac drivers are also provided.
