Published on 11/22/12 at 16:25Sound card Guillemot Maxi Studio ISIS is a PCI sound card with an additional extension box 8/4 + MIDI + SPDIF.
This card was released in the late 90s, and ran under Windows 95/98/Me only. W2000/XP systems and higher are not compatible ...
The "PCI" this set has standard I / O (Line in and out, Mic Port Midi / games), and a web of internal link connects to a riser connection with the outer casing. This card features a RAM Expansion for function "sampler" and soundfont management and a DSP chip.
The outer casing is equipped with 8 analog inputs and 4 outputs 6.35 jack, MIDI thru in out, in out and SPDIF coax and optical in.
The recording mode is accomplished by "direct to disc", ensuring very low latency. Converters are accurate and do not generate virtually no harmonics.
A great little system for a good start in home studio.
UTILIZATION
This card offers a great stability, and its interface facilitates the mapping of I / O settings and levels. ASIO drivers are compatible despite his age.
Mode ensures direct to disk latency below 40ms.
GETTING STARTED
Mechanically speaking, the installation is a breeze, with respect to drivers, ibid. The only real difficulty is to understand the correspondence cursors console settings compared to I / O The manual is pretty vague about it here.
OVERALL OPINION
I started the home studio with this product in 1999, and I also apparent from time to time, as part soundfont is just perfect. The DAW used is not the one that came with (Logic Audio), but Magix Music Studio 2005, still compatible W98. Employing this medieval OS is not very disabling because the PC used is disproportionate to W98 with its 1GHz processor and 256MB of ram
The HDD used for multi-track taken is SCSI, which ensures optimal access!
Not a wrinkle, and ergonomics nice, this sound card still has many services to make ...
