I was looking for a console espce analog controller to my sequencer, good quality ... and I think that&#39;s what I needed.
I&#39;m not going to Retailer CHARACTERISTICS. As against the number of (12 including 8 XLR) seems to me enough for my use (in home studio) long term. The principle of hybrid sound card / analogue desk is Russian, not just in appearance.

My config: Laptop for now AMD 64 bit 1.6 Ghz 1GB RAM 100 GB HDD and all the windows.
But because I j&#39;diterais m&#39;achte pc fixed soon and for Firewire, 6-pin is always better (on my laptop, I am four, so I lost a third of the speed transfer, I think).

Prcise that I was only two days (over the night between) I&#39;m on it. j&#39;diterais when I&#39;d form an opinion DEFINITIONS. ii they are as Premire impressions.

UTILIZATION

The drivers for yamaha homeowners (m-lan) and n-series drivers installed fine, no problem, and is fast. It Yadji of updates and goes well. you can even "manager" presets curves compressors! it was really fast and useful!
There is software that gre-m devices connected LAN (which is both a plus for the management of the N12 and less resources to pc).
You plug the power supply, installed it and it&#39;s ready to go (as they say).

-> THE MANUAL! ULTRA is short! (I compare with the 01V at the same time, o is a bible) but honntement, trs Designed well. to give almost want to read it. They think of the little ones who want to start mixing: Some illustrations. They even explained the basics (quite succinctly when Ms. Sample: Difference asymtrique / symtrique) But be careful! it is also translated into FR! is a standard effort from Yamaha. in addition, it is translated ...

Apparently they are drivers for mac too.

SOUNDS

Stable drivers yet. Updates available on the site yamahasynth. Latency is good: for 512 buffer, 10 in imput and output 14 ms respectively. I find it really acceptable because: on each slice, there is a compressor (great for testing voice and some instrumental tests), a qualiser (the frequency of medium is adjustable), the reverb ... You could stay until 2 or 3 ms, but hey, recording only if a crack with my laptop.

The VU meters to the number of 3 trs are visible! in the dark, it is convenient.
The quality of the knobs is simply mind-blowing (I could never test a mixer as luxury !!!).

THE useless thing on the N12, which is the logo cubase ... light is thrown on cubase!
standard but the very first time, the name of God. and only with 4.
Besides the function only works with AI4 DAW and version 4 in gnral (pending update).

For tracks in recording, is that fun, but I have not recorded more than 4 tracks at the same time ... So j&#39;diterais also a. I spend the quality of pramp, they really are my sufficient level of demand ... (Class A)

Works well for MIDI (with a test UF8 in Cubase SX3) (1 in + 1 out)
The control room section and remote are perfect and there is the option to register a terrible sikos not playing rhythm with metronome remote rglage volume (phew) and assignable back to the tracks you want. No latency when using these functions with AI4.

It also has a micro Intgr to communicate in return and it&#39;s great (a lot of gain and breath, but who cares in this case)

I will test ending for the 5.1.

OVERALL OPINION

Therefore résumé in home studio, I find it very practical. we need it, a pc and microphones (or not), possibly a Mackie Control or equivalent and one is happy. The quality recording with just her, it&#39;s bttn because of its good starters, compressors configurable (they are one of simplicity: almost nothing to solve the five preset compressors are accessible by turning the morph, it&#39;s great practice for not wasting time, and time recording, I have enough, people are always presss) and its reverb me pate ... (Even if it only has three options: hall, room, flat)

It is a bit CHRE (around 1168 euros in July 2007) but these days, we often forget that the quality has to pay ... so I forgive him ...

on the other hand, in terms of Cubase AI 4 ....... for now, I do not like. I do not like the big limitations such vst only two per project. I wonder if the same audio engine is not limited and it is plausible. I remain with my old cubase. in addition to the price of the update to Cubase 4 is ridiculous standard (like the price of Cubase 4 (about 766 euros) less than 50 euros ...) and it&#39;s not fun ... they lose potential buyers ... BMD is an AI 4, BMD of shit. I dgout and I say, even if I knew she would be limited. They could make an effort ... In addition, the number of boot is small -> You have to enable it on the net! but I do not want to connect my pc to the net! arg! At the same time, it&#39;s not that I bought a l. ..

Otherwise, I am not mistaken about the merchandise, it&#39;s good (but pricey).
