All user reviews for the Hoontech DSP24 + ADDA2000 / DSP2000 C-Port

Given the date of my post and given the age of the card and for those who want one: it's a great map with many possibilities, relatively simple to use, yet comprehensive enough to be still in the game.

24-bit 000khz 96, 8 inputs, phantom power, noon, stable drivers and latency more than respectable: what more you want in a home studio ??? The gear as worth € 400/500 nowadays ...

Its only drawback: you need a PC that runs XP or Mac OSX and Linux it seems (and even that?). Far from being (as I have read) card beginner! For the rest read the other comments says it all ...

UTILIZATION

It depends on what you actually saw the possibilities. It ranges from simple vst noon to recording a live band !!

GETTING STARTED

There system setup cable, probably a remnant of the analog era, which is a bit confusing for the novice ...

OVERALL OPINION

At its output, if I had the means, I would have bought one ... probably fallen into oblivion due to the disappearance of the manufacturer's reference and thus the end of the new standards compatible drivers ...

Former owner of a gadget labs wave24, j'espre Hoontech that will not follow her in limbo ... prdcesseur brief

The price is attractive for such a configuration and the manufacturing care of (a is not cardboard). But hey, that is a rack with analog connections. 8 in + 8 out, I / O optical and SPDIF, plutt nice for 570E (June 2001 prices)

this card running on a p3 650MHz 512Mb RAM, and is going not too bad ... the dtails further.

I only use apps (acid, fruity, live, reason ...) on my PC and do not serve MIDI.

UTILIZATION

The manual is a bit messy, we do not know whether to install the ASIO driver in addition to the card, ... It takes a little searching and go on the forums. a does not own.

External links with the configuration can be done with the doc to dip well
the schema of the different i / o

installation on Windows 2000 went very well, but also in XP Reason does not work with a single pair of outputs (bug Reason, apparently fixed in 2.0)

GETTING STARTED

The drivers have been t days in August 2001!! Since then, the poor and modrateurs dvous tech forum spend their time wiping the critics on this point. In addition, lots of people seem to have problem of implementation.

In Acid 3, DSIR behavior leaves the cursor as often lag behind the sound,
and dcalages frquent lead to often stop / start to reset. Changes in the bus for a while playing causes crash irrmediablement
The 8 outputs mono work well and no problem of blowing by them

For cons, the output 'sound blaster like' Windows uses the breath out of a rare effect. I can not use it, so I write everything on my first pair out of the rack.

OVERALL OPINION

- Use for a little over a year, using episode, no time!
- Referral interface output is practical, and also 8 outputs
- I have a gadget labs before, I would have had they not guard col. Converters came out better sound qualitbr /> - the ratio q / p is widely COMPTITE for the quality of services rendered by priph.
- I well liked that Glab does not run, the drivers came out more often.

Thank you for our answer:

and share your personal exprience about this product ...

@ +

For my exprience on this map with a P 600 EB (6309 MS mre card with VIA chip and 320M of memory), I have problem when I reach the 32 to see giga studio ( + final crackling crash ncessitant a reboot).
I pass sr (Athlon 1200 bus card KTM 200 PRO2 VIA chip and 320 M of RAM memory) and see no problem for operation 150 30 45% CPU.
In both cases, I had an interruption numro reserved.
At the sound, the quality is perfect.
I look forward to a multi-client driver.

UTILIZATION

Current drivers mdiocre por win 2K and win XP and Win 98 not stable.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers not stable, its OK.

OVERALL OPINION

With a proper driver the card is excellent

Read all

Well, little 'RVision' my last post ... (Y is the ke ki imbciles change their minds!)

My config is the same:
P3 600Mhz
Abit SE6
512 MB of SDRAM
2 your HD IDE 7200tr

UTILIZATION

One advantage of the latest drivers from qques time dj is that the External Links is installed automatically.

Otherwise, the installation does dlicate a little, anyway ... especially to try to isolate one IRQ, ddi only the map ...
Rsultat:
I can not do better than the IRQ 9, as it shares with a Universal Host Controller (USB).

M does not seem too serious ...

GETTING STARTED

Cubase as a by GigaStudio, since the last drivers, the card in XP bcp seems more stable ... finally !!!!! )

> More parasites 'crachouillant'
> More notches blue!
> More bp redmarrage 'cho'...( times before, Yav carrment more sounds ...)

But wait t long!! And version, even if more stable version is still a 'beta'.

The final version would arrive soon according to some sources ... (Hhh)

-> 5ms latency (48khz/24bits) with Cubase! )

OVERALL OPINION

A practicing longer, for a more refined view ... I'll keep you juice o

APRs have galr as bcp of us, because of the drivers and their late dveloppement and Hazard sometimes, the card could finally back in my estimation ...

PS:
Many thanks Olivier for his help, time to explain, and implementation of the latest drivers available! )
As is TVB for its 'moral support'! )
Without them ... bulky n'taient not far ...

The report qualitprix is ​​excellent. I chose this product in order to model and prproduire our group (Masquerade) and for the live recording.
I work with an amd xp 1800 + with 256 DDR, 80G hard drive.

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple thanks to the pilot but the paramtrage the config is a bit more complex!
The manual is clear but a bit lightweight in terms of usage examples

GETTING STARTED

Drivers under 98 are stable but incomplete for the day xp
I use Cubase VST 32 for my home studio but live for samplitude
I believe that 21 ms latency is satisfactory.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this product for 3 weeks.
I prfre is the possibility of simultaneous multitrack recording.
I could try the luna, the fire and dmx miqse except that 3 dsp possde la luna I actually remake this choice to the extent that this product is affordable for a quality professional

I DCID for this card because of its many inputs and outputs and South Intgr. In addition to the pre-amp on between 1 and 2 can delay the purchase of a pre-amp microphone (including voices) beefier, budget issue. I had one before Isis, like many, and I find so most CHARACTERISTICS (many), but three divisions above (converters, latency, etc.). And with lots of "little more "as the headphone output faade.

I use this card to record my band "home." Most of the time 2 inputs are sufficient, but sometimes also to catch live with five or six instruments. I also use the South to control my sampler, bote my rhythm and my expander, the 8 inputs can then record the audio tracks on a time and then spares s'attaqure the mixing and mastering.

Configuration:
CM Elite K7S5A
Duron 1GHz CPU
256 MB SDRAM
IBM 20GB IDE HDD 1 (with a system partition o run Win98SE and cubase)
1 Maxtor 40GB IDE HDD (where I store and I record the audio)
The DSP24 is home to the three slot (IRQ5, not shared)
With everything (because it's not just the audio ...)
2 ethernet cards (slots 2 and 5) that share IRQ10
A SCSI card (slot 1) is on IRQ11
In the bios I disables almost all (r-I active the usb piecemeal)

Two small complaints: the average quality headphones (there's a breath in me, even zero volume!), And pre-amps that are missing some dynamics (cot transparent sound nothing wrong ).
The quality is at the rendezvous, and a price more than adequate.

UTILIZATION

The installation (physical + driver) is easy, the problem - as always - then begin when it comes to tweaking the BIOS, the irq and Windows. I can not advise the site Skinah: http://members.optushome.com.au/skinah/Cport.htm Thanks also to view posts by O. Frappier, who proved to me that I could m ' out with my config. As often happens with the computer stuff, a nickel not work the first time.

Be careful using the map-mre, and to a lesser extent the quality of the RAM, see the website of Hoontech their recommendations and their list of compatible gear. With everything running the card is very feasible. And then once that is done we do not encounter more concern and can make excessive zik!

GETTING STARTED

The new drivers walk trs well. I can record 8 tracks 8 instrument spares, without any click or pop on arrival. OK, it's the least we can do on paper, since it is made for such use. The essential point is that the config is stable, and I did not have to install r-or all of the drivers or Systm for months.
I use it mostly in Cubase VST 5. I RULES gnralement 21mS latency. Low enough to be almost transparent enough lev to have no problem in intensive use.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months. APRS prompts rglages and difficulty of installation / beginners paramtrage at all, everything went extremely well. It was not understanding why so many people have problems with, but perhaps I have the chance to have the computer stuff (including motherboard) compatible with this card. In conclusion I am extremely satisfied. And I highly recommend it.

Very good card for its price!
I have an athlon xp 2000 512 ddr ram aver 333 mhz
2 dd 60 40 GB in RAID 0 +1
multitrack akai dps 12 noon + couple + scsi optical

UTILIZATION

Installation without problems (I still had to go to the forum st audio)
namely: the acpi mode to win 2000 and xp
So: in the device manager choose standard pc instead of acpi

GETTING STARTED

The latest drivers are perfectly stable when properly installed the card on one irq
with cubase sx I get a latency of 2 ms 96khz I can record 10 audio
the akai is a remote control and add the two optical paths ...
a strong 2nd DSP24 ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year with a lot of satisfaction
nothing to do with the cards all age groups (such dmx fire, audigy ...)
too good value for money even if prices still money ...
