Value For Money :
Excellent
- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
Without repeating the detailed, the main characteristic c is that this card can grow while already has the minimum for audio recording.
it may change external rack (AudioDock), the bias of the i / o Numérik (spdif adat) or the firewire port that can support an external sound card.
In fact the map 1212m is the foundation from which we can enrich his studio
- For what purpose?
home studio
- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
PIV 2.4 GHz, ASUS P4P800-X, 1024 MB RAM, two 80GB HDD (applications and data) ... this machine is dedicated al audio
With which instruments or systems to use you? ...
mindprint trio connected in optics, rode ntk tube microphone with XLR in the trio
master keyboard emu with proteus x, reason, bfd drum module, Native Instruments Guitar Rig and bandstand, steinberg virtual bassist, Nuendo ...
UTILIZATION
Install no problem, I confess I don ke uses more PowerFX (except sometimes for the dynamics of my audio input in the cad PatchMix), I prefer the plug ins like Waves, Timeworks and other native.
the PatchMix also takes time to learn but thanks Audiofanzine, so good.
j've encountered incompatibilities not due to the card, but all vst instruments that I've started to set in early before things in perspective and keep only those who have proven to be the most stable. <ul>
for the manual, I have of the printed (taff of course) and I have found the clear, but I must admit that while the devil is in the grip of the software PatchMix.
GETTING STARTED
Home drivers are stable, I've never updated, but it's true ke emu site offers regular updates, I think.
No records I never (or rarely) more than one track (bass instrument or voice, guitar), thus the latency, I down a recording 5ms, 50ms and then I go back to when I mix or that I listen. No in fact I have no band to record, I do everything by himself, or else one day have a friend record, so the latency ...
a 50 ms, I could read a lot of track, (j use Reason in ReWire for music and voices are raised in Nuendo with other intruments to noon) from 15 to 20 tracks easily with the instrument, samples and voices with plug ins to 48 kHz to 96 kHz on the other hand, c is true that I lack the cpu ram soon arrived at 50% capacity)
OVERALL OPINION
I used the last 8 months, bought on AudioFanzine doccaz (120 euros).
j've tried other cards studio in more "pro", but c was not mine: digidesign, motu, finally, that the heavy and expensive!
for my home studio day had started with the emu 0404, then she dropped me, I switched to that model than after it has repaid the 0404 m (99 euros, I have rajjouté 21 euros, and I've acquired 1212m).
The +: as I said above, this card is the "base" of my little home studio, and tomorrow I can still acquire machines that will sy graft because it is then necessary to have a good preamp or a mix of good food and a good microphone to reach the plainitude
c is a good card, great sound quality, great price / quality ratio, I chilled this choice, c is on.
