OVERALL OPINION

I'd mug on ebay are two different years for $ 350. I could compare with the presonus, but frankly, it is with cheap plasticky knobs on. Ok, the aardvark is not an ergonomic MODEL either, but it is solid.
A map like a 'must be pampered, treated with dlicatesse, and it will follow at the end of the world. She has the class card. Couple a G4 or G5 transparent, in a studio, it's design, I will not tell! : O)
Basically it is to get a Rolls Royce in his garage at the cost of 4L.
I advise you to make a team of product quality pro, home-studio price. APRS is sr lack of follow-up of the card are a weak point, but the activity and re-enable the community of aardvarkeurs make a strong point. The dev left with the source code for drivers, too bad, with a computer might have been trying to prniser the map. Today, there must be other cards better and more stable, but not less Chres, a, is sr.
