Audience: Advanced Users
- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
Converters --- very good quality
--- Effects managed hardware
--- Software Bundle!
- For what purpose?
--- Check my guitar
--- Applying effects on the guitar
--- Mixing with MIDI tracks as with my Emu APS
- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
--- 64-bit Sempron 2500 + MSI KN8MM CM + 512 mo + Emu APS + SBLive
- Which instruments or the systems do you use?
Casio Midi Keyboard --- Small
--- Electric guitar

Only downside for me is not the native support of SoundFonts, you have to use a free plugin (SFZ) and it is not managed matériellement.Pour are followers of sound may be needed to turn to Proteus comes with the card.

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
--- Just two CDs: one with drivers and other apps with
--- Super simple and trouble-free

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
--- No even with two sound cards already installed (+ SBLive Emu APS)

- The general configuration is easy?
--- Without reading the manual and without knowledge of a mixer is super complex. Patch mix seems super complicated at first.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
--- Yes it is quite clear, but also sufficient essential!. After reading the manual config is very simple and you realize the possibilities of the card.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
--- No crash so far: Very stable
- Are they often updated?
--- A priori yes
- What software do you use most often?
--- Cubase LE (bundled with the card and very adequate for amateurs like me)
--- THE Proteux X (comes with map)
--- SFZ sound font to read
- What you get lag?
--- It's going to 7 ms ASIO

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
