UTILIZATION

Aw, it does live up to its reputation, the only thing to do is get the PC in standard management manual irq, or have a valid "mail order" that manages the apic (acpi and not just ), once you understand that the standard mode is good, It has took me 10 min!

the manual is on cd, but I read any personal ... I go directly to practice!

GETTING STARTED

Sonbt stable drivers (3.61) and the support is still ...
Runs very well under Cubase SX and I have not tested elsewhere but apparamament low latency <3 ms

OVERALL OPINION

I had tried a Audiowerk Emagic, the card being old there was too much latency and not complete, mail order for functions ...
The Anda .008 does not come with an interface too heavy or unnecessary packaging or design playskool, it's still as pro card, the sound is in my opinion crystallin (for the price!) Of course there are always better but for the price, is the best! The converters are good and as proof I sent a shot through my 8080 jp behing analog so the presence of blowing magic of digital but there is a threshold (threashold) trip and not just the synth noise.
In addition there 2in/2out noon and the card is identical to the cheap inca88 except that the principal did not autocolant "AudioTrack" and the outbox is not the same color.

Order in Germany in thomman.de by CB for € 179 including shipping in less than a week
so if I had the choice again, I remake!

The only criticism that he can do is that I think we can put one anda.08 (or Inca) per pc ....

This card is an OEM inca88 c is to say that it comes with a computer ypically dedicate to music. But it is exactly the same as I did the same with the REU and not the orange box is gray in the picture. Having said that c is the same case as that lol is that changes color hehe.

Unfortunately it no longer produced but is still found on some site. I put 9 pke c is my first Digital audio card, I pass the SB Platinum 5.1 is the Anda and believe me c is another universe. I've chosen the one pke it was really cheap (~ 155) and especially for the case with these 8 inputs and 8 outputs.

I used as the main card in my home studio, it is c that manages all my j's have 3 ms latency j have not had any problems until now, I turn on XP, Asus A7V333 motherboard, AMD 2400 +, 512MB ddr, 130go hard, I have also left my SB live card that I use multimedia.

The case 8 ins 8 outs is very convenient c is really the foot and ca can do a lot of config with a good mixer, and c is super convenient I do not see how I could do without now, it allows me to record several instruments at the same time and be able to stick them on the slopes indepentantes frankly c is the best!!

UTILIZATION

I put 10 for the installation, pke J had no problem, I m waiting for a sukkah have some but not at all, I have put the card and the card twelve o'clock, I have lit the ordinary j I install the drivers I reboot nikel and everything works !!!!!
The drivers that I have to install the drivers are between Inca88 biensur.
No hardware conflict, the two sound cards "cohabits" perfectly together, and with no adjustable difficulty.
C is very easy to configure Anda, the otion routing is very convenient. C is a really cool map m it brings everything I needed and the quality of sound is to go. I use the for my home studio, c is an ideal card for his music and especially this tranquillou please, c is not a card that starz lives in Los Angeles, but c is a map that provides serious to do all these plans, and finally I personally see no qutre what a card that costs a minimum until 5 times as much m could bring more serious I really do not see ....

GETTING STARTED

A week already and did not crash once, so stability is 100% with my config. For the update is c rap since it produces more, but hey it works nikel so there's no need to update.
I used with the SX 2, c is perfect in every way, I use a lot of virtual instruments quite heavy in addition to guitar and vocal recordings, and I have no no problem to record and play simultanment.

OVERALL OPINION

The pros: The 8 inputs and 8 outputs, 2 in and 2 out noon, the sound quality, very low latency.
the - I see absolutely no defects.

D have not tried another model card, but this one gives m j everything I need so I'm not about to change. I did pay the 155, c is one of the best business and investment in music that I have, c is the hardware so it's very very hard so long as no sukkah.
If c had to be rebuilt frankly I would say yes, but it is more lol. C D elsewhere is for this that I did not take a eSite, 155, and cost $ 500 in 2002, and the quality of sound is superb quality CD!!
This card is ideal for me. c is really a blast!!

I bought this card for a home studio and I am delighted, before that I had a ISIS Guillemot (it was reprobed to stop it lol) ... a true m., in short, to return a the 008 is a anda exelente card that offers good quality Audible, and 8 / s ca does for the price (150)

UTILIZATION

No problem for the installation, compatible and always and always, the configuration is the easiest way is a console that manages all about and what I an anomaly or I not understand something because when I plug Rhode NT1 my microphone I is not the possibility to adjust the volume. Besides this little problem c ok!!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and the updates .... I was never, I is not had the nomplus besion being given that always works just fine, I use with Reason 2.5 and Cubase SX 1.0 and before I had a Fostex D90 (8-track digital recorder ) to get live it is for this reason that I wanted an 8-input card. I put 8 because of my problem volume 48 volt phantom power supply My problem is that I need maintrenant.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be two years since I use it and appreciate it for ca tou particulirement reliability over a price, before I used a ISIS Guillemot direct and frankly we feel the difference, in the first place dja being able to work on Win XP, no problem of software conflict, a life of ease artist lol, ect .....
even when I put that 9 and always due to problems of micro.
