audiodezexcellent PCI sound card very stable
Published on 05/03/25 at 02:35excellent PCI sound card very stable never any problems with everything essential without frills for both home and professional studio 8 inputs 8 outputs, spdf, optical, I updated the the latest 8.6 echo drivers released work perfectly on for windows 10!!!!, I still use it in 2025, the only flaw is that gets very hot, for me this sound card records much better than the more famous contemporary USB ones around $200

AlanForPresidentGood, but keep it cool
Published on 09/05/12 at 23:03The Echo Layla is a 24 Bit 8 channel PCI Audio Interface that can not be bought anymore (new) because the manufactures pulled it from the shelves and has put out other products to replace it. That does not mean you should not try to find one if you are in the search for a similar interface, I am pretty sure you can get one online somewhere , maybe even eBay! I have used this Interface with Sonar on many occasions and never had any issues with it. The Layla echo does have a horrible issue with over heating. This could be the reason they have pulled the interface from the market. Alot of people where having issues especially when using it in a small space that gets warm.. The Layla Echo...…

The Echo Layla is a 24 Bit 8 channel PCI Audio Interface that can not be bought anymore (new) because the manufactures pulled it from the shelves and has put out other products to replace it. That does not mean you should not try to find one if you are in the search for a similar interface, I am pretty sure you can get one online somewhere , maybe even eBay! I have used this Interface with Sonar on many occasions and never had any issues with it. The Layla echo does have a horrible issue with over heating. This could be the reason they have pulled the interface from the market. Alot of people where having issues especially when using it in a small space that gets warm.. The Layla Echo needs to be kept a cooler temp than you would keep most your gear at. So keeping a fan on it is almost a must (any time it is on). There are enough ins and outs on the Layla to run your whole studio and record all you need simultaneously.
UTILIZATION
The latency is very low and not really noticeable at all. I haven’t recorded more than 3 tracks at a time but I know you can record more with it. Being in engineer school, I get the chance to work with a lot of interfaces and the Layla by Echo is one of the ones that I wont forget because it worked well and it lasted a long time. I actually spent most of my freshman year using it. If I remember correctly, there was an update for it but I didn’t have to update it I just read the memo.
GETTING STARTED
No compatibility issues and the manual was easy to use and read. It is probably a longer manual than what it really needed to be and I do wish the manual said something about not letting the unit get over heated or it will fry!
OVERALL OPINION
Best part of the Layla is that there were never any problems when using it, it was just sad to see so many of these fry. I am thankful for the experience that I had with the Layla and I am sure all of those around me were too. It is a great piece of gear.

theaudioandvideoguyfreakin awsome
Published on 07/25/12 at 00:09The Echo Layla 24 is a great rack able audio interface that I was so thankful to have a few years ago. Keep in mind that if you are looking for this device that it is no longer being created, they have upgraded it a little while go. But you can still find these online and people are getting rid of them to upgrade. I have seen some go online for really cheap recently. If you can get your hands on this interface for cheap it’s a steal. This is a very great interface with enough ins and outs to run your whole studio. If you have a lot of gear, you can have it all hooked up at the same time and never had to unplug anything in order to get new gear hooked up. I love having the ability to not...…

The Echo Layla 24 is a great rack able audio interface that I was so thankful to have a few years ago.

If you can get your hands on this interface for cheap it’s a steal. This is a very great interface with enough ins and outs to run your whole studio. If you have a lot of gear, you can have it all hooked up at the same time and never had to unplug anything in order to get new gear hooked up. I love having the ability to not have to unplug a mic, just to plug in a different mic. That was the sole reason why I purchased this interface, I was at first worried because I had not heard of Echo before nor its interfaces. But after the guy at the store told me it was a good unit and I had a money back grantee I didn’t have anything to lose so I got it.
UTILIZATION
It is a pretty simple unit, there isn’t anything on the front of the unit at all, it looks very stylish. The back of it is where everything is at, you wont need to even look at a manual because there is nothing to understand, everything on the back of the unit is labeled and ready to have your stuff plugged in.
GETTING STARTED
No lag, and it provides a great sound. You cant beat that.
OVERALL OPINION
I think this unit is a steal now. When it first came out it was affordable but probably still a little too expensive for the average person to invest into a piece of gear from a company they have never heard of. If you want the newer version look into the Layla 3g. It is great as well, just newer and more expensive.

DjcielAwesome!
Published on 08/03/10 at 12:19The number of jack I/Os and the fact that the card is pci
USE
The latency with live 7 is 12ms. I sometimes use up to 20+ tracks with 1 pan, eq, compressor per channel, and the card doesn't even flinch.
It works with assio4all v2.
OPERATION
I installed it on my PC running Seven 64bits and, to be honest, I have never had an issue so far.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using it intensively since May and it's the core of my home studio.
I would've love to have two XLR outputs more for monitoring and one more midi i/o.
Other than that, it's a good product!…
