PCI card comes with an external rack connections with many different formats: MIDI input / output, RCA input / output, Input / Output ..... 6.35
Card supplied with Storm, 85 MB of soundfonts and Cubase VST (monitoring disabled!! Cubase, no possibility to listen cubase effects in real time :-(((()

Cubase VST, no problems, very low latency (thank you asio 2) nothing to do with SBLive Platinum.

UTILIZATION

Installing XP without a problem.
Light manual

But we must absolutely download the updated driver for XP
A difficulty also with Vienna sound font manager, I download the version presented on the site soundfont.com

GETTING STARTED

Thank Asio 2, Creative announced a latency of 2 ms. With Cubase, the latency is actually very low because this version of Cubase was changed to the Audigy. Indeed, monitoring is not done through the application Cubasis it goes live on the map using any effects included in the map: It is a hack to reduce latency to max.

If you use Cubase VST, monitoring is done properly with a latency accepeter.

With Cakewalk, it goes worse, latency can not drop below 40 ms, a threshold below which we get a shot on "drops out" and a monitor full of clicks and sounds incongruous.

I think we can easily reach the limits of the card if you want to do great work.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months.

it's better than the SBLive is cheaper than a pro-audio card semie but we must not ask him too.
management noon is not terrible, you should use an expander, for cons with sound fonts is great.
For a singer or a solo musician, why not?
