Best value: Excellent
Live 5.1, it's good if you is not got a cent, and if you do own the music in your room of blaz student (the student, not the apartment) without trying too hard in eyeful. Between mic, line, and I / O twelve o'clock what more adept for a cheap and semi lo-fi ??
With 628 MB of RAM, 1GHz Duron, Win XP Pro works without TOO (see after) of problems, connecting a microphone and a good master keyboard while Cubase SX and a host of VSTi beginner and has what it takes to do good things already (for a little inspiration 25 euros the bar 128MB of good ideas Surcouf ...) !!!!
So in this crneau of use, I put him 9.

USE

This is where hurts! Installation is galre: XP family is not worth it, Pro DJ will much better (I have no idea why) ... much better, but it's not the top, because if you install the drivers provided on CD franais, one of them enters "language conflict" (as it not mean they snog) with a DJ provided by Windows, which seems to have consequences on the functioning of Surround Mixer 5.1, d it not work (or is that Xp "dstabilise" choice). I think it is better to use that card in W98.
The Gnrale configuration is fairly simple, and fortunately so, the manual is very pusique trslger ... or no ... that's according to each ...

IMPLEMENTATION

Drivers stable ... for now. The updates ??? I have certainly not well cherch but it has only climbed all relative because our friends are the www.kxproject.com to provide drivers that guarantee a latency of about 10 ms (Cubase SX anyway) and it shoots in relatively uses.
Perfect management soundfont, blender handy (you can make very goutus juice), or bundled numriques effects (but not for the record ... shame !!!) ... as good.
5.1 Digital model: the sound is actually very good, this card is more than enough for home-Pc-cinema installations.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had two weeks and goes really well thank you (considrez I'm not a home studio, just a student makes noise with his PC;-). Good quality / price ratio, especially the view of the simplicity of use and ease of installation (under W98).
Ideal for a beginner or a solo musician who wants to put his ideas without much complicate life and empty the wallet, and with quality altogether more qu'apprciable.
