Steinberg VSL 2020

This card is a bomb!

I needed a versatile card and I'm ready!

RESOLUTION 24/96

Latency approaches the 0!! : =)

It helps me normment for audio and midi.

on the other hand, it is better prvoir a DI box for a guitar or a microphone prampli (c my case),
because sometimes a "grsille" when cost. The mixer (Behringer MX2642) did not aid too (should not touch the gain).

I recommend this card to those who want a job "professional @ home".

V-Stack is Intgr the cabinet, which allows you to use a 2nd VSL card on another computer.
The intrt? Minimize costs and increase the number of tracks
The card has
- 32 channel ADAT
- V-Stack software allows you to use 16 VST instruments, 8 send effects, 5 insert effects and 4 "master bus effects"
- ASIO 2.0 Support
- Between a cinch
- 1 x Cinch
- 2 MIDI ports (IN or OUT depending on configuration)

UTILIZATION

Price 2 minutes I install the card (ok I am a computer). But anyone can do it in 5-10 minutes.
Just dye the PC and turn it back on and it is recognized under Windows XP.

For Windows 2000, install the drivers manually.

Cubase SX, the configuration is comfortable. Simply select the card VSL20-20 and the turn is played.

2-3 reboots are Necessary for it to work properly with its drivers.
The kit "clatquot, is well made. ... But hey it might be a rack patchbay AIM but it's enough considering the price

GETTING STARTED

Then the attention.

I do not want to criticize mchamment Windows XP. But this environment is not for pro work.
After a few days of use and some VST plugins install Cubase, Cubase simply plant miserably.
The problem? Ntdll.dll error -----> is not even worth trying to install the file because the Systm needed. Rsultat? Repeat the opration reinstalled and then move to Windows 2000.

This is not ngatif about the card because it does trs well recognized. But this concerns the Systm using the card and .... a person Forewarned is forearmed!

Then go on Windows 2000

The driver is stable trs. Nanmoins it is better rcuprer the latest version of the driver of the card on the site of Steinberg (www.steinberg.de)

The trs trs trs altence is low (I do not have the exact figures of the config).

Right now I record 8 tracks and 12 MIDI tracks AUDIO.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this card for 2 weeks since I installed Windows 2000 Frache NO problem
I had a card ISIS silent frankly pathetic for my needs (even located the era everyone said that c'tait cool).

What I like is that I have that my instruments connect my mixer and save them as Cubase SX.

I did not have bote man as the one sold m'tait trs INTERESTED prices and because the store was using for its customers DMOS (they take time for orders from Steinberg).

Exprience with this choice I would do without hsiter!
It's a gem this card!

Map optimizes the vst link.
16 in / out 24-bit ADAT 48k max. 8in/out in 96k max
2in/out spdif (1prise physical but 2 channels)
2in/out in analog RCA-4dB (rate of converting 24 bits I think)
1midi in / out
word clock sync
32bit floating point internal processing.
I use AMD XP Barton 2600/512ram pc2700/DD 120 and 40.
I used to play vsti or audio effects in real time (taken guitars etc ...).
I put the cable exploded since 9 c ca a little frustrating not really pro, but ...

UTILIZATION

Quick and hassle free.
A control panel to panel joint ASIO.
Configuration is no problem, just right as a parameter. (Latency / source clock / sampling frequency / output mix which is assigned paramtres sync).
No manual, just the doc on the CD I think of all fawns he learns nothing because there is nothing really to know is a simple card trs.
One detail I do not know if the card is linkable to put more but I think so.
I put 10 normal.

GETTING STARTED

Level drivers do not worry, the Steinberg updates are normally ....
I work in Nuendo and it works well trs, the latencies are relatively low
96k buffer 128 and the latency is 1.33 ms input and output.
you can descend the buffers up to 32. latency is 0.33 ms input and output, it says the you need a bte.
I used 128 and ca 41000hz road maintenance. 2.6 ms qd I play a vsti, so a 5.2 AmpliTube guitar eg. Note that the time is exactly the same of that of the exit, something diffrent on the tascam FW1884 example, even if c not huge.
on the other hand do not buy it if you are not using it numrique.
I put 10 even if the log Vstack supplied with crashes all the time at home, but is not the topic.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a year now. Premire is my card (last one I had before but ISIS is not a good card ...) and I had everything I expected and I realize even now it ahead of many other cards over time. Besides, his price went up since I bought it and not just a few euros.
Of course it is designed to operate in adat and uses vst link is the choice to do I think
(Buy more koi)
The award is not given it is true, but it keeps its promises.
A choice I would do without hesitation.
