«  very good sound card / MIDI, very complete!! »

Published on 10/06/11 at 01:35
Best value: Excellent
the many possible connections.
mic + line, many outputs (7.1) analog / optical / coaxial, MIDI, 4-port USB ...
everything has already been described on the proposed connections.
I used a Korg Karma + Sennheiser microphone and Sonar software for recording audio.
very good quality when making audio
ditto to control virtual synths noon.
although not ASIO drivers, the problem is circumvented by using ASIO4ALL.
As a low latency (<10ms at)
Use also with electric guitar and GUITAR RIG with no problem.
used on PCs with Windows XP

UTILIZATION

any concern for drivers, Hercules support site-to-date (end of 2011 for a map of more than 10 years, bravo!)

GETTING STARTED

no problem if the installation procedure is followed to the letter.
easy configuration, no conflict, full user interface.
However, given that all PCs have an integrated sound chipset of origin, it is imperative that the disabled in the BIOS, and not to use the card Hercules (much better for that matter).

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought a laptop, and unfortunately, I'm using it as no more opportunity to connect, because now I can not use a USB sound card (Hercules DJ Console MK2 USB + MIDI Prodipe) So goodbye my Game Theater XP on my new PC.
I loved this sound card with a rack of very good quality, well done.
I also used with a keyboard connected to the master midiplus61 Joystick port without any problem.
the only negative points are:
-The cable from the PCI card plugged into the PC to the external rack that is very big and too rigid.
-The 4 USB ports that only work in 1.0, so low speed, just good to connect a mouse, keyboard, printer ... to release the USB 2.0 ports on the PC.
to recommend to any amateur musician, looking for an excellent price / quality ratio and a varied use (audio input / output mic / line / optical, and MIDI)
Note the continuous monitoring of Hercules on the latest drivers downloaded completely stable on their site
