    Among 8 - 4 outputs, numriques outputs. 16bit 44.1kHz. External rack. Midi interface. Logic Audio spcial for this card (16 tracks stro). In the era I needed a card with 8 inputs for recording the battery of my group. I have recorded our first album on a P3 600Mhz with a 10 GB hard disk on Windows 98, it does not work on anything I think I remember.

    USE

    The drivers are stable overall. From time to time bugs when same, but I was using the computer for the whole era (internet, video ...).
    The Logic were utiliss Also provides audio software with the card, some plug-ins and Sound forge.

    The Logic were utiliss Also provides audio software with the card, some plug-ins and Sound forge.
    So I recorded up to 8 mono tracks like the maximium card allows to save battery. Read and up to 16 tracks so some in stro, so virtually maximum.
    Little update.
    Latency compares standard today.
    96, I think I remember.

    IMPLEMENTATION

    No installation problems for me. Simple configuration. No problem of incompatibilits. The manual is suffissamment clear, I have not used too.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I have used for a dozen of year. Before I turned on the Atari STE, so that the noon hour so a date.
    I liked among 8 and 4 outputs, external rack. the built-Logic Audio software. Complte a solution.
    The price quality ratio was outstanding for the era. The card with 4 outputs and 8 among the noon, well made squenceur provides.

    Only runs on Windows 98 max memory.
    You can not operate the Logic Audio software without the card.

    Musicians Friend, internet, for multitrack recording. $79.00 (Scrath and Dent)

    Nice breakout box. Versatile. Works well with AMD Athlon xp2000+ and Win ME

    Could have higher bit/frequency. This card is supposed to be quirky, so the price was lowered, but I had no problems.

    Very nice construction.

    Works perfectly with WinME AMD Athlon 2000
    XP.

    OVERALL OPINION

    5 years
    I especially like, at that price, you can do what I want easily (taken battery + bass + guitar + singing ghost ghost, with sufficient quality for models properly / NOT I especially like the lack of headphone outputs, the impression that Hercules has completely dropped the idea to do as others (2 in or you pay expensive)
    quality / price ratio excellent for a careless users
    yes, especially with 24/96 converters and output 8 channels of firewire
