«  Good sound card in all »

Published on 11/11/10 at 11:15
I bought it for recording during rehearsals.

Inputs
- Channels 1 and 2 as needed jack or XLR microphone with amplification and gain adjustment directly on the interface. Possibility to add a 48V phantom power
- Tracks 3-8 standard jack

Outputs
- Tracks 1-8 Plugs

Each channel input and output is independently adjustable for volume and balance.
There is a MASTER for release

One can redirect the inputs to channels 7 and 8 on the front that are each dedicated to connecting stereo headphones

There are 2 inputs and 2 MIDI outputs

It is installed on an old machine with 2.2GHZ 750MB of RAM. I have a second Windows XP installation without updates, no network, no internet ... which I use exclusively to recordings.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable, I never had any problem with. I use sonar, it allows me to record 8 channels without worries and redirect them directly wired to the outputs on a mixer. I have a latency of 256, which suits me fine.

I also used my house between my midi keyboard and my master arranger. It allows me to read a midi file on my pc and play along.

DirectWIRE the system is very simple. I have not had occasion to use it but just 2 points for connecting a virtual cable into place.


GETTING STARTED

Installation is hassle-free, the only snag is that the driver is not signed, it has a warning from Windows.

I have no manual, but it passes easily, especially since we find on the net when needed.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. I have not tried the other model. I wanted a PCI card because I was not sure that my machine would follow USB.

What I like most? Hard to say ... it suits me perfectly.
The least? Maybe I should have liked more of a microphone input.

Value for money: nothing to say, good affordable equipment

I remake that choice without hesitation
