GETTING STARTED

The big plus of the map: the bundled software!
OVERALL OPINION
This is clearly not a multimedia card for users (too complicated for that), but more for people wishing to learn at home studio.
I love this card for the following reasons:
Effects-friendly materials
-Very stable
Low-latency
Super-converters
Possibilities of large-patch mix (the mixer of the card)
-The software bundle which contains everything you need to use the card.
Small least:
-No sound management of native fonts
-No of entries / outputs for the pros
No management-Mac, I had to buy a dedicated PC!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
--- Excellent for a very good card and the bundled software (I know I said 20 times ...)
- With experience, you do again this choice?
--- Yes, yes, and yes, for a beginner like me in computer music is the ideal card
