I bought this card hand because it seemed the best quality price vis vis the latest generation of cards (only with MOTU offer 8 inputs, 8 analog outputs and in-out in ADAT).
I use it in a config home studio, mixing and recording models, some video editing.
Config: AMD XP 3000 +, 1GG ram, hdd 80 1 g system, a 120 sata hdd audio gg

UTILIZATION

Installation made in 5 minutes thanks to the forum and Audiofanzine digidesign site.
I have not opened the manual.
I prcise my old sound card a MOTU 824 mk2 silent and have a lot galr with ... a little borked installation, reinstall in SERIES, disappearance of the card between two pc's start ... has worked but what a price!

GETTING STARTED

For the moment, drivers seem stable on the other hand it seems they are no longer being updated ...
I use it with Nuendo 2 and WAVELAB, no worries intgration hardware in software, with a latency of 11ms (without too much down the size of the buffer).
I do not do testing of multi-track recording at the moment, I would notice day thereafter. on the other hand I can read 20 simultaneous audio tracks with plug-ins.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently so I have not enough experience to rate a DEFINITIONS, for cons I can say that even when the ratio quality price is unbeatable (250 E used). I just wish not to have a version of protools latest issue, as the card comes with the 5.0.1. A small point ngatif, the length of cable between PCI card and external rack ... but hey xagrer should not either, the cable is not 50 cm ...
In short I recommend this card every home studio who do not want to ruin and are seeking a card with multiple I / O (with ADAT we could get up to 16 recording).
