    Hercules Studio ISIS XLPublished on 05/16/03 at 04:47
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Cheap, especially now, a little temperamental but we can overcome the problem

    UTILIZATION

    Installation without problem whatever you may say, I install on a via chipset, a little complicated but it is possible

    GETTING STARTED

    Problem of latency, but impeccable record for drums, bass, guitar (but not saturated because the noise has bee)

    OVERALL OPINION

    Two years of use, unbeatable prices surout at this time, ideal for beginners but also for amateur tbc

    The external rack is an argument of shock.
    I'm not looking too, but quickly, I was decided.

    The advantage of connecting jacks, so you can jacker everything pluggable!

    UTILIZATION

    The installation, uh, there were problems qq, but not do much, it came back alone.
    We had to keep calling it the VAS, which is not efficient.
    The card is capricious and only works with a certain type of chipset. so I changed motherboard ....

    and it does not work with all OS .. BEYOND win98, it is obsolete. So I am condemned to stay with this config if I do not want to redo everything.

    the manual is not really well done, fairly incoherent.

    GETTING STARTED

    I did not find ay make MAJ. It is stable for 2 years, it suits me, I do not touch more.

    I use the sequencer logic audio pro isis.
    on 8 entries, I 2 unusable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    2 years of use,
    I appreciate the ease of access and use, the output / input optical cable (very good for the mini disc)
    I like too the lack of evolution in my config (see profile).
    it is the only model I tried.

    level report quality / price, the base is interesting, but when onse realizes he must change the motherboard, GLURP, the ratio becomes quite intolerable.

    I do not want to change for the moment is stable, ca fills my needs (recording pop / rock / folk with guitars, bass, vocals, keyboard, making her the microphone ...).

    but the day I should change my config, I'll have to change cards. and I will opt for another model plebiscite by members of AF.

    UTILIZATION

    The installation is well Premire fonctinn some time, but the last two years I have a system that stable
    the problem of incompatibility are the most Souvant the bios and back
    the comfiguration my taste is very easy, but the manual is not always clear trs.

    GETTING STARTED

    The first driver is not stable and for the update, it must be up early
    j'atilise mostly logic audio pro isis wave and labs
    there are a lot of latency audio recording in logic pro isis but the concole pa, and saw the problem of saturation, I do not fit the input of the console more than 80%, since ' they also act as comprseur
    I record 8 tracks and 16 simultanment read

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this card for over 4 years but I really operates for 2 years
    I like the simplicity of use when you know the prossdure dsp and also which are good quality but it is unfortunate that the input and output is not symtriques. I board not try to view other models that I do not know much about the era and especially my finencier silent way modest. Qualle took the report is good but who said few words taken galre ... c'tais again if maintenent with experience and hindsight, I would probably something like sound card, since I could taste a Dynamics of a DDA and MIDAS (live) analogue, and what I wait a sound card is the grain and the dynamic

    Very good sound card to get your feet wet. was used with an analog console with
    direct outputs from channels to attack the 8 analog inputs of Isis. Console
    analog (MacKee in this case) for monitoring for listening, isis with his
    Jumbo rates latency does not allow. With Cubase or Nuendo, provides very good
    results. The problem is that you stuck on win 98. No drivers for Win 2000 or
    Xp. Asus motherboard I do not know what, Atlon 1600 xp, 556 ram, 40G UDMA 7200.
    It runs great. I'm working mostly on the audio for the creation of models
    employment and promotion. Uses very short cables between your console and analog

    j'utile a box headphone Berhinger initially connected to my mixing desk. Few problems encountered

    UTILIZATION



    GETTING STARTED

    No drivers beyond to win 98
    large latency


    OVERALL OPINION

    a max 2 years
    If a card comes out Guillemot more scalable than the Isis, I think my choice will be
    on this type of stuff. Good value for money.
    I am tempted by the marks or Teratec Hoontech who have released products that seem
    attractive. I am still waiting to see market trends and opinions of different
    users. For now, I will use my isis to the canvas until something better ...
