I bought this soundcard OCCAZ 900th in almost 2 years ago the number of I / O, having frontage in meters, the XLR connectors, hardware features (AD / DA converter standalone interface adat, aes ebu spdif ....) and short at all good on paper. I use it with a mackie onyx1620 in home studio, music production and techno electro show rap / hip hop recording group + rmétal, computer amd athlon XP2800 +, 2GB ram, msi KT4AV, 500GB dd.système installed compressor alesis tl audio and insert on the table or map, (thank you ...), patch strip joemmmeek, KP2 and KP3, Rocktron Vertigo, and echo MONACOR (...), an antique guitar yamaha emx and er1 , mikrokorg, sennheiser e235 microphone, rodes nt2, sm57, 2 Audio Technica over the model that I was doing in tete.je live electronica with mackie using analos outputs and mix of securities in the same config.

UTILIZATION

stable drivers with Cubase Studio 4, no update, and final Maj obsolete, 4ms latency, never more than 16 tracks eneregistrement (with adat and o1v), but no problems

GETTING STARTED

installation without problems, panel config very boring, no inconsistency, Manual 6 pages in English and learn nothing

OVERALL OPINION

used for 2 years before I had an ESI ESP1010, an e mu 404, an ac 97 and sb auudigy, and also tested fireface800 edirol FA101, and echo the Fireface is gina.ça level conversion quality, I liked the meters in front, but it made the soul after 2 years, and even for the OCCAZ has 900th sucks, so it's expensive compared to the reliability (1600th new at the time). I had to sell the 3 / 4 of my stuff, and now I have a small m-audio, so no, I have saved with the experience of the 200th + and a private rm fireface800 components does stink .... and circuits are not Suck, and they are very expensive, even I had fun with this card, I 900th through the throat.
