All user reviews of 4/5 for the Creamware Pulsar II

calculation of DSP, high quality converter + solution multiple I / O.
On Windows 32 bit and preferably to use the sampler.
For every level: the composition and mastering or live through the analyzes. No need to have a big config since the calculations are done on the DSP card. Good ventilation it may be useful during a heat wave ...

UTILIZATION

oops, for criticism of drivers: it can happen as a letter in the mail or hand according to the config (see forum).
Version 5.1 is really a "must have" (and see title).
the actual or multitrack input and / or software rec / play will be limited only by the (s) hdd (access time and other), I recommend the shower to make crazy stuff.
The updates are rare but it is good as gold (often pay unfortunately, but offset by additions or major changes)

GETTING STARTED

for installation, no worries if 0 concerns with the drivers.
Have to like hack, modularity is one of the purpose of material.
Incompatibilities: contact + + before buying (forum).
manual very satisfactory.

OVERALL OPINION

For over ten years.
I tested and I still work on other sound card, but there's almost no comparison (limit: uad, tc, protools hd ...)
I love power, Modular, the adaptable, sounds, FX ...
I do not like the drivers, the updates late and prices ...
Quality / price ratio at the output = super.

Is what I would do this choice? I'm waiting for version 6 now say definitely yes, otherwise it was YES for at least 5 years.

I use it for more than 12 years and have never been disappointed.

For the first card:
2x Quad XEON PC 3GHz, 8GB RAM, 4TB HD
Windows XPSP3, soon Win7 64 bit.
NUENDO 5.51
Connected in 2xADAT (16in/16outs) on a Yamaha DM2000

For the other two:
P4 dual core PC.
Connected in 2xADAT (16in/16outs) on a Yamaha DM2000

UTILIZATION

Drivers fast and stable. Uncompromising sound quality. New OS for the card. Evolution of soft 12 years later! (My first board running Win98 on a Pentium 3 400MHz!)
3ms latency
ASIO driver dynamic variable number of channels.
100 audio tracks without any problems, never needed more ...
Instruments of the highest quality sound.
The new OS can rotate the map in XP64bits. I'll try soon!

GETTING STARTED

No problem provided you have the latest OS.

OVERALL OPINION

The m "in serve for more than 12 years. The cards went from PC to PC and PC's are still working ... no!
I tried several systems, even changed for a while to return with the release of the new OS.
Even as a simple sound card input / output at a price where they are used, it's a bargain.
