All user reviews for the M-Audio Delta 44

Converters of very good quality considering the price, good dynamics, thank you delta

UTILIZATION

Then it is as usual, we cross that it will work right away, and no, like all sound cards, it is a little battles with the IRQ settings of the buffers etc ... but good c is not dramatic, over the gents in the delta are used to problems and have detailed files ready you will be very useful if you are not accustomed to this kind of manipulation ....

GETTING STARTED

For drivers it is very bizzard, it works perfectly on 2000 and XP, for cons for users of 98 or I will consider using the latest drivers DEL2227.EXE that they are more stable and have better latency.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 3 days I use it, and I am very satisfied with me in 98 I turn 32 vst instruments vst with 6, 40 audio tracks read with a lot of plug and 4-track recording and multi those with a P4 1.5 Mhz. But be careful to perform these feats must still optimize 98, with a little adjustment easily double the performance of his machine .... In conclusion, very good map, I think to be supplemented by the purchase of a case and a delta 66 omni i / o

The four I / O interested me and I could not afford to take the era delta66 (with I / O numrique).

I mainly use the delta44 for some plug ins, AudioMulch.

It works just as well in 2000, Linux (with alsa drivers).

My config: PIII800 on CUSL2 with 256 MB of RAM.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem for me under Windows. The drivers are stable and long Fully functional (one and a half).

the pannel of rglage is simple to configure, and latency can drop qqs ms without problem as long as the CPU follows.

I never need the manual

GETTING STARTED

The ASIO drivers are not updated day long, but it is not ncessaire, as they are fully developed.

I test Nuendo in a hundred tracks in playback with EQ, without loss of sync. (But not I use Nuendo).

A 44.1 khz, 16 bit, I latency honnte trs, which I do not impede, for well-made soft drinks.

OVERALL OPINION

With the exprience, I would do this choice, I think. In this price range, there are not many other models with the same quivlanets fonticnnalits, and especially the same quality of sound / operation.

4 inputs, 4 outputs, this is a small sound card following rpond perfectly my needs for a price that is affordable.
The uses range from the Home Studio with Cubase SX and assist night in with Tractor DJ from Native Instruments. For the Home Studio, especially c'tait entries that m'interressaient then taient plutt 4 outputs for accessories (By the way I would have AIM 6 outputs).
It runs on a P4 2.4Ghz with ASUSP4PE, 1024MB DDRAM, 80GB hard drive with 8MB cache 7200tr.
It connects a small table Behringer MX1804X and all conections are 6.35 symtriques jack.

UTILIZATION

You know the Plug And Play? Ben is the same, you connect, you turn on the PC, you install the driver's fingers in the nose and you're done!
I had no incompatibility with the card, everything works perfectly.
Gnrale configuration is very simple to use with a clear interface.
I have not had need to read the manual.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are trs stable, no crashes for almost a year of use.
They are not used often, but what good days as given that there is nothing to correct.
The software I use most often with this card are Cubase SX and Traktor.
Climbing with a Traktor frquence of chantillonage of 88,000 Hz, my latency is 0!
The act of running the 8 ports simultaneously does not seem Drang.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since March 2003.
I like the quality of the converters of this card: it's great art., What I repproche? May be the rigor to the impossibility of any routing you want with: let me explain. It is possible to configure the two outputs of several Stereo Manir: either outputs 1 and 2 = between 1 and 2 and similarly for 3 and 4, the output is nothing do with the entries. Can be t would he nice to have more choice. But yrflchissent a little, what good is not used ca ...
I have not really had the opportunity to EESI for other models but I have a friend who possde a Hontech 8 in / 8 out and he often having their Pantages card and again, the drivers for the card to Cubase SX 2.0 tojours are not out when I have not even felt the need to update my drivers myself.
The quality-price ratio is exlent I think, hard to beat!
With the exprience, I would do without this choice Sitat

This is a perfect map quiconvient my expectations: good converters, 4 inputs, 4 outputs on ¼ 6.35, all there! Used with a PIII 950MHz overclock 600, an Asus motherboard VIA chipset, 768MB of RAM and an IDE HDD, it works well for trs Cubase and Reason. The latency is imperceptible change much for me on my ISIS. The Vsti I use are controlled by a keyboard matre evolution 249C, connected by USB to the PC; two advantages: no control of power supply, and then not need to take MIDI! (A good falls, the Delta44 possde do not). Then for audio I use a small console or pramp Envoice connected to the Delta.

UTILIZATION

No problem with installation, make sure all of the same download any latest drivers to take advantage of new features. I've never had a problem with my Via chipset.

GETTING STARTED

This time, thank you M-Audio drivers are set days and bring new features (multiclient). Logic or Cubase with a flawless run, I get a latency of 4 ms. However, it must sometimes increase or decrease the number of sample in the dashboard to avoid cracks in the intensive use (20 audio + vsti read in real time). No problem either to record 4 track at the same time. I recently branch two delta 44 in my PC: no problem, recording 8 tracks at the same time is a rgal of stability and simplicity.

OVERALL OPINION

With a budget trsrduit, I had to replace my Isis, Vsti to use properly: The Delta44 seemed the best qualitprix, 285 Euros, I could not esprer better (cheaper than my Isis !).
This card arpondu my expectations: quality audio to the appointment, 24bits/96Khz (a food in the place, but of course!), Stability of drivers in practice, evolution can by buying multiple cards. It's been three years and hundreds of hours of recording that I bought.
I have advised several friends, all are rev happy and I will make ending for knowledge with 4 cards at the same time.
Certainly have.

4 input jack on 24/96 in large external box: everything I wanted!
ASIO drivers

UTILIZATION

NO PROBLEM. installation, recognition ... Registration!

GETTING STARTED

Drivers often put day / work well with trs VEGAS (not like the false full duplex with my sound blaster live: crunches, amazing echo + delay: a true FX rotten at all!)

I Sets the latency 1024 cycles (96 kHz) because I do not care, I use that as monitoring the return, the limit to the headphone for the singer.

4 tracks full duplex

the drivers are not bloody well trs (I've seen much worse, such kx project for soundblaster) but it comes out without too many problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months.

Trs good quality recording, background noise for me -70 dB -40 dB while silent on my soundblaster (all under SoundForge).

Trs happy with my purchase, I do it again ...

Sound card very practical with its outer casing, 4 input + 4 output jacks 6.35. I use to play and record my guitar + voice (= micro) as an amateur musician! These go through a mixer for convenience and in order to pramplifier sounds.
My config = PC Pentium 4, 512MB Ram, Windows XP, Maxtor 120GB SATA and of multimedia speaker misrables !!!!(= future purchase)

UTILIZATION

The installation was done without any problem, plug and play recognized by Windows XP and roll!
For cons, the record is in English so difficult to understand everything! For cons, the same instruction in French is tlchargeable on the site of M-Audio. No inconsistency with my config and the Control Panel is very easy to grate.

GETTING STARTED

I use the Delta 44 with the original drivers, = I did not find any notable amliorations with the new driver download on the site!
Utiliss software are: Rt Player Pro Sounds home (excellent also as multi-effects), Sound Forge 7 (as a recorder) and I try to understand Cubase SX 2.
The resulting latency = 4 ms is ridiculous and I use only 3 tracks recording / reading max 6 tracks (I = beginners!) The sound suits me perfectly and no interference with the same point disto hard.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and frankly, I am delighted by the sound card. In fact, beginners I was afraid of getting lost in the installation and paramtrages while this one has t snap! This is my sound card and Premire for the use I made, it is excellent. BMOL The only case of withdrawals Monos = must use an adapter mono 2jacks mle / female jack 1 Stereo (6 euros) to s'couter both speakers ... His report seems qualitprix be one of the best in its class, this choice I would do without any hsitations.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
With the same budget, yes, now there are better cards to other prices, Digidesign I/O92 if you know what I mean. But I'm really pleased ...

Despite 10/10 compatibility bp (Whose fault? M-Audio? Gigabyte?) Since the config is working properly ... it's a rgale I advice ...

I t attracted to 4 I / O in high-resolution external jack rack.
I wanted a card to record the output of a console so no need to micro pramplis or of low impdance. Dj Possdant a multimedia card, no need either to noon.
I also flash on the inputs symtriques. You may say, nothing is a given with me as I have 2.5m cable to connect the console but it happens from time to time to record our RPTES and the PC, it is derrire the studio door.

UTILIZATION

No problem if the installation is to place the external box. The connecting cable is too short (1m) and you can place it on the tower of the PC or on the floor. We all pert intrt a external enclosure.
The configuration is pretty and easy to use console. You still even a little to widen the head to set up the patch, especially when you are not familiaris with this kind of device. But once you master it, it's really powerful.
The manual did not really aid in this opration.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers work impeccable and often updated.
I use this card with Sonar and Soundforge: it is very well recognized and becomes transparent to use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this card for the past six years. In the era, it was worth 2500frs. It went downhill since. and I think for the same budget, I can have a more powerful card now, with e / e numriques, for example ...
Otherwise, the price o her side now, it is not hsiter pounce.

I bought it to save the BMD of my group (quartet rock guitar-keyboard-bass-drums), I pass normment time looking at the reviews on this full-MODELS types (semi-pro card or entry-level pro) and I ended up choosing it for the following reasons:

- MODEL PCI (I had a Tascam USB and stability in a silent nightmare on my config)
- External box (admittedly it is not long as it says in the notice but the fact Previous whether external fact that the card is not disturbed by noise the the indoor pc)
- 4 inputs / 4 outputs, it is not extraordinary but saves battery with the possibility to touch her a little later (2 entries took the console on which taient pr mixes overheads and 2 inputs for the snare and bass drum is a solution for poor but honest amliore your exact relation between o 2 card can not can send a stereo mix of the battery)

CHARACTERISTICS now this card can just Exceeds stepfather but for recordings of this type is more than enough. Nanmoins compares the tascam us 122 I had for some time, even when I regret the absence of some lments extremely practical: the headphone output and volume directly SETTING THE available on the case. the absence of Intgr preamp is also a cot it will prvoir

the machine config:
Athlon 2.3 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD, motherboard asus AS7N8XE

the config record (I repeat it is a poor config:
for battery:
overhead microphone -> console preamps with 8 tracks-> [stereo LINE OUT] -> 1 to 2
sm 57 -> presonus TubePre -> between 3
sm 57 -> art tube mp -> between 4 (for a more in deuxime TubePre

for voice and acoustic guitar:
Studio Project B1 -> TubePre -> between 1
(+ Preamp of the Ovation electroac -> art tube mp -> between 2 to double the take with two sounds without really DIFFERENT shuffled twice)

electric guitar:
Jazzmaster -> TubePre -> from 1 (prvoir an amp simulator, the preamp tube is good, but did not expect miracles)

UTILIZATION

No problem setup, ss march right away ... but on the machines with their rcentes Intgr lot of peripherals, I had to remove a number for an irq that is not shared with 3 other priph Americas (that is the usb2 or firewire are INTERESTED in addition to the ct nomad, the irq on the pc it has become modern ingrable on maps that do not allow a real manual config)
the manual is very well, no incompatibility on softs music but it's really not against an all-purpose card for multimedia: eg, the drivers are not recognized by the prog from my tv tuner so can not record sound, and there are lots of little quirks like a.
Having said that most are easily adjustable and the sound is so much better than a intgre you might want to use as a

GETTING STARTED

Never had a crash li card. updates trs frquentes not for some time, but knowing that the card works well trs is not shocking
latency of 512 for recording and mix, no dcrochage except with a ton of effects that come eat CPU time. In 512, I play the synth connected in midi player soundfonts or dxi without feeling latency, same for the guitar and amp simulators
the number of tracks, recording the maximum of the map then 4. in playback, we had to go up twenty runs

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months and I do not regret this purchase is quite a card dpouille compared to other models of the same type but that is what many trs 'asked.
with exprience, I would do the same can be no choice because it is a map at end of life and for the price I put in nine the era I better now .
o nanmoins price it sells for now, see occasionally is a good deal of stuff and not taking srieux head that allows you to work in good conditions, you just see that unless you want to just connect a console or line-level genre instrumentals of synths, it will prvoir pramps of tinkering and a cable to get a headphone output.

That attracted me CHARACTERISTICS:
- 4 inputs / 4 analog outputs Jack 6.35
- ASIO driver
- No Functions "useless"

Used to store models.

Matos connect: Phonic MR1843X console.

My config:
- DFI motherboard (VIA chipset)
- Celeron 850
- 384 MB SD-Ram
- 40 GB HDD
- Windows 2000

UTILIZATION

Installation without any problem.
No incompatibility meeting.
Configuration gnral fairly intuitive and efficient.
Manuel ... I throw an eye for BTIS not do the installation, but otherwise it is superfluous.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers stable up Submitted.
Software utiliss: Kristal, Cubase SX.
Latency not measure, but very small (between 10 and 60 ms prs little).

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months, I am thrilled! I do not have all the hardware available to me to test it as I want, but what I saw and heard, it's just gnial.

This is the first model that I tried so I have no point of comparison. I was up a Sound Blaster AWE64 Submitted (although the mp3 to cost any more). The Delta 44 has its patant I n'tait Discoveries that blows no one fatal)

For 129 euros, what not to buy? (Plus it is compatible Multi!)

1 point less for the difficulties of routing.

The intrt this sound card is twofold:

4 input jack possible
external rack to connect the hardware

my config is a PC PIV 3GHZ 1GB RAM XPS2 often and I work with CUBASE SX2
also I use a Midisport 2x2 midi interface MAUDIO prampli and a lamp for micro ART

UTILIZATION

Super easy install, recognized immediately by any software on XP, both audio (CUBASE SX, REASON) and public (media player)
even not need to read the manual, it is childish to install and configure

GETTING STARTED

No problem driver, no need to put everything works days, the latency is 12ms with Cubase SX, but the direct monitoring allows for 0 seconds latency recording.
everything works really well, can be operated at the same time any type of software, and everything works without conflict.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days, and it's really a good choice trs
That said, I did not try other cards before
again without hsiter

4 mono output. (2 Stereo output)
and low latency

UTILIZATION

The installation takes a few minute
no incompatibilitbr /> the manual is not helpful in view or the product is a simple starch

we are left with two card that nome "Delta 1 / 2" and "Delta 3 / 4"

GETTING STARTED

The driver never causing any problems
The updates are rare, since the product has grown in age and that is stability table.

I use my card with 64 sample of latance, giving about 1.44 ms latency output. I have never seen better!

I use this card to its maximum capacity without problem (4 input and 4 output simultaneously

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 6 months
I like the "Break Out Box"
many say that the wire one meter long is too short, but I have my computer at Intgr Rack Mount, this length is IDAL.

report made quality is good, but the general public new product joins PRO product quickly.

APRS sudden I will not repeat the same choice, I bought a Delta 66, same product, but it has two more output.

The M-Audio Delta 44 has a PCI card that connects to your computer, which is connected to a breakout box via a cable.

This is a four input/output sound card. Up to four tracks can be recorded simultaneously to your home PC DAW. With the virtual mixer in your DAW software, multiple tracks can be recorded, you are only limited by the hardware capabilities of your PC. This means overdubs can be recorded with up to four separate tracks at a time.

There are no MIDI facilities on this card. Multiple Delta 44's can be installed onto the computer for more simultaneously recordable tracks, but I haven't had any experience in performing this operation.

UTILIZATION

I use this hardware with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and haven't had any problems. There is some latency, but this is the nature of the beast with digital audio workstation recordings (on of the big reasons why I record mostly analog).

GETTING STARTED

It is a pretty easy, straightforward installation. If you get confused, just refer to the manual. As with any sound card or other hardware installation, there may be compatibility issues, but I had none with my Dell desktop.

OVERALL OPINION

This is an OK sounding card. Much better sounding cards with better sounding digital converters exist, but not really at this price range, and those installations are a bit more complicated. It served its purpose. For my desktop I know have a Delta 1010, which also adds MIDI and SPIDF, a greater number of channels and direct XLR inputs for microphones. If I could go back in time, I probably should have gotten the Delta 1010 instead, because the type of recording I do usually requires more tracks at a time than a mere four. But, for a solo recordist, four tracks may be plenty.

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
The 4 inputs and 4 output jack.

- For what purpose?
Recording songs in home studio.

- Which instruments do you use or the Systmes? ...
The inputs are connected to an insert taken from my mixing desk on which I plug the microphone. The output jacks are used for the return.

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
Impeccable. Long live the plug'n'play

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No, I turn on Windows XP family edition.

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Routing software redistributes I / O and volume as it sees fit. The software is simple handle.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual that came with is in English but a French version is on the drivers CD in pdf format. I personally have not read it all ...

GETTING STARTED

No worries drivers.
Easy setup in any software mixing and other (cubase, coll edit ...)
Record 4 mono tracks simultaneously.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
6 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The 4 inputs allow you to save a battery with 2 OH, a kick mic and a snare mic.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No

- How do you report qualitprix?
Impeccable! 4 inputs / outputs at 24-bit/96kHz was worth more than a in all other brands!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
The exprience I have no advantage, I have not tried other models, but I think I would opt for a USB console.

I work alone on a PC, so I needed quality material, with few inputs and outputs, all at an affordable price.
4entrées/4sorties analog 96 kHz and so on. (See other comments and data sheet)
config: AMD 64 3200 +, Asus K8N-E Deluxe, 1024MB DDR Samsung, Seagate 200GB HDD 7200rpm 8MB cache, NVIDIA Geforce 6800GT (ASUS), one Maxtor 80GB hard drive in a box that looks like a broken toaster ( connect land), Altec Lansing CS21.

I use it for the sound of singing, guitar, bass. I also use a MIDI keyboard (on MIDI / gamepad independent) and VST instruments. All under cubase.
I use a presonus preamp TubePre lamp.

10/10 for the use I make of

UTILIZATION

No problem, open the PC, we make sure to have some distance from the PCI and AGP graphics card (not create conflict, it seems) is pushed the card into the port, is screwed, is closed , finished.
I decided to do a reformat and reinstall windows so that everything is clean (do not forget to disable the integrated audio chipset in the bios if there are integrated chipset). The card is easy to use, efficient machine panel.
That is, if it is a notice in English a little short (but very useful)
no conflict, ras

9 for the manual a bit tacky

GETTING STARTED

The drivers appear to be stable.
I get a 1ms latency in cubase in 24 bits 96khz, which is more than adequate
of the use I make of this card, I never led to record more than two tracks (left + right) together
I did the update of drivers and I have not seen any difference.

10/10 because it sounds good, it's cheap, it's easy to use

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for several months and she fulfilled her role very well. I use the preamp for a little boost input which otherwise is a bit feeble for taking the microphone or line.
I had, before using a chipset built into my motherboard, I hear the difference
The value for money is excellent, I even think it's the best that we can find on the market. This card semi pro really works for solo musician who records in his corner, but who wants quality at a lower price.
I had a little trouble finding it, obviously, it is really made. The only difference with 66 is that there has not spdif.
If I had the choice, I still have a repeat. With a preamp, it's really a very good card.

9 / 10 because the inputs slightly lower

I bought this card because it supports ASIO 2, Cubase, it has more inputs / outputs and has a low latency.
I use it in my home studio for making his voice / instrument or to dub a sound module or synth. I seldom lack of when recording.
My config: P4 3.2 GHZ, ASUS CM, 2GB DDR, 160GB of disk.
I use it with a lamp prampli ART for my condenser microphone with a PODxt, for which the record is as good with this card directly via USB.

It's generally a good map, efficient and simple. But it is not powerful trs trs. I arrive in 24bit/98kHz easily crack or 3 or 4 virtual instruments ...

UTILIZATION

Installation is very simple. Since I had a dj midi interface M-Audio drivers taient Submitted, so I did not need the CD. All software DTECT no problem associated with the ASIO driver the card is easy!
Up Submitted, I had no incompatibility with my software, and no conflict with other hardware lments.
It is a simple card set trs. All paramtres runic is a panel you can change the o to frquence chantillonage, the buffer size for latency, levels of input / output ... etc..
The manual is succinct and English trs. Any fawn, I do not need.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable. Although sometimes it crashes when I save the south, and it's ASIO does not work anymore (thundering). I then have to restarting the PC to the card with my rutiliser squenceur. The update, which are rare, do not really have this problem solution. But since now I work primarily with real instruments, I use less than the south, and it works like clockwork.
I use it with all my audio software (Cubase, Wavelab, ...).
I walk gnral 24bit, 44kHz, with 256 samples per sample, and the latency of 5ms is almost inaudible ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this card for the past 4 years. This is convenient for connections to have an external box computer, MMME if once in the studio was not moving. It is well suited what I do, but I regret that she eats too much CPU. I have never had any other, so I can not compare. But if I had the choice again, I think I would look for a card with the same CHARACTERISTICS but more powerful.
However, it remains a good value qualitprix trs (~ 150)

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
I was looking for a sound card with the bare minimum I needed: a PCI card with a jack or two entries, preferences rack, and a Stereo output, with a trs good to avoid the latency DSP ... and I had everything with that l.

- For what purpose?
to make the best caf ... it's not a. .. uh ... to record instruments? ah ben lends a rather good! more srieusement, c'tait to plug a guitar and a microphone.

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G / AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 + (2000 MHz) / PC4200 Corsair 1Ghz (2x512Mo) / Seagate 250GB 7200 RPM S-ATA II 16Mo (Barracuda 7200.9) / WinXP SP1 optimized (tons of unnecessary services stop s to boost the box)

- Which instruments or the Systmes do you use?
When I bought it I had no guitar amp and suddenly I could only connect my guitar on the pc and use an amp simulator. So now I plug either a microphone positioned in front of my guitar amp or my guitar directly, and then always a microphone for voice, harmonica or percussion.

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
Installation is on-can-do-more-simple: It plugs into the PC, the PC is switched on, the windows DTECT, we choose the right drivers (rcuprez the latest version of the manufacturer's website before to get the latest version), and voila!

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No incomptabilit however, I regret that M-Audio does not dveloppe drivers for Windows Vista.

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
trs really simple.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
I can not talk about it. I did not use

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
not a single crash or bug in 4 years

- Are they often put day?
I have not seen since mid 2006 up day

- What software do you use most often?
Cubase VST instruments and more, Reason, Rebirth

- What you get lag?
0 to 4 milliseconds according to my rglages is to say inaudible latency, which I really change my old card Guillemot ISIS (about 700m)

- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment?
I never had the opportunity to test more than 2 tracks but I can easily get 4

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I use it for 4 years

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
the most: its simplicity the possibility of coupling with another card delta (44 or 66), the rack (not to be forced to go under the desk to plug in his guitar, its really effective DSP (but hey, I compare then with ISIS has can only be better ...)
the least: the absence of amplification. I did not realize right away and I have to buy a t prampli.

- How do you report qualitprix?
qualitprix excellent. is a simple map with a reasonable price

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
trs certainly. I have not the usefulness of having more input or output, and I go through the USB port to control my MIDI keyboard.

What motivated my purchase:
- The price (159 nine)
- Compatible with Linux (ICE1712 + module Envy24 mix)

My config is Asus CM / Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz / 1 GB of RAM on GNU / Linux Debian. I use this card for personal records.

Installation is no problem set by the choice of PCI. There may be conflicts of IRQ rsolus easily by reversing the arrangement of cards.
Under Linux, there's nothing else to do, the ICE1712 module is loaded automatically. Once you install the mixing SPECIFICATIONS Envy24 there do anything.
The manual is not so much getting started is simple.

GETTING STARTED

Modules (drivers) on Linux is stable trs. I use this card with Jack (routing of sound), Ardour (like ProTools), Hydrogen and other software computer music Linux.
Thank you to the authors of the site Linux computer music ( http://www.linuxmao.org ) for items Help Ardour in particular.
I work in a timely rl (yes, even when Linux has some advantages), but I have not pushed far trs track the number of reading and WRITING simultaneously.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this card for a month, so I have not been around this hardware. My beginners this card seem promising. I exprience with this choice or j'achterai remake the M-Audio 1010

Propellerheads Reason 4 shows 0 ms. weird ...
With the latest driver, my programs are set to 0 latency.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

I started in the computer music in 2000. Do not know much, I have been advised by a seller. (I remember pay in francs, 2600 francs I think.)
So I use this card from prs eight years. Incredible as it holds the road, always on top.

Windows XP64 ableton live7

UTILIZATION

Incompatible with xp 64 but there is a beta driver (ineffective).
the manual it is developed.

GETTING STARTED

The driver does not exist.

I exclusively in the User asio on ableton

latency in a down 88Khz ms, 2 x ca consumes more cpu, (
not necessarily need to live or 88khz cpu is already solicited
44 in the latency of 2, with small cracks Xms from time to time.

The problem is that after a ten minute live latency becomes longer!
15 msc genre, plus the opportunity to play pad ect ...
redemarage of a live AC is working again 10 min

I reconnect my map echo audiofire2 which have a latency of 8 ms, too long to play as fluid or retaiter external signals, it is stable in May platitude.

I could record anything, it's not funny to play with lots of lag!

RAPORT the signal noise is incredible to. but can be ece video card pc card parasite that may be on the other pc is more moderate.

OVERALL OPINION

3 days

I like the multiple frequencies of ecahntillonage proposed and the case simple.
card did not like the driver for xp 64, how to take advantage of a good machine without using vista now?

I vai the meter for sale on ebay or af .. I lost 100 euro vai
I really know what to do to provide for live play without latency.
jarrete not change the config, no way to be a really lese to play live ...

I put a note here since 7 can be on another pc with another OS it runs without lag and without parasite.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?

The rack, the jacks

Edict of 16/11/08: I recently tested computer music LINUX (ubuntustudio 8.04). The card is automatically recognized. His driver: ICE1712 and the config, use the application envy24control.

- Which instruments or the systems do you use? ...

Guitar (Lag RX100/Telecaster US) / Micro Song (Samson)

UTILIZATION

Thomann commissioned in February 2008 (received in 10 days, RAS)

- The installation is done it without problems?

RAS, I stuck on the PCI slot furthest from the CG

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

None at the moment (or system or device or software)

- The general configuration is easy?

The fingers in the nose, thanks to the clear and intuitive interface.
Except, perhaps to find and understand how to route the signals I / O (because of pb described below)

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

It looks ...
In fact, it is for everything concerning the installation, parameters and main characteristics.
But the manual interface is written for positions running XP. No manual or existing doc (even on the manufacturer's website!) For the Vista interface (simplified compared to the apparently XP)

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?

Vista version: 5.10.00.5065. It looks stable ... (No pb for the moment)

- Are they often updated?

Edict of 16/11/08: [/ u] an updated Vista driver since its inception.

- What software do you use most often?

Cubase SX2 / NI GuitarRig2

Edict of 16/11/08: And Linux - Ardour, Hydrogen, Freebirth ...

- What you get lag?

Cubase latency displayed in: 5 to 7 ms to smaller buffer size (after that little ride very fast)

Edict of 16/11/08: On LINUX - 1.67 ms (!!!... no comment) ok some X-runs ("plop") but when you have not eaten a third of the RAM by the OS, changes everything anyway ...

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...

Not yet been tested ...
(Larger project: 12 track simultaneous playback ... it is a buffer size sufficient to make it "plop" it)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

February 2008 (four months to write this opinion)

- What is so special that you like most and least?

(+)
The rack and analog I / O (more than enough for one who does not need S-Pdif/optique/etc worse ...), the jacks for a scratch is sacred. The appearance of strong and serious stuff (rack metal rack compact and cable / PC as big as your thumb). Quality of its nickel output (I put my system to listen twice as hard now ...)

Edict of 16/11/08: Great recognized and usable in Linux.

(-)
No less ... Apart from the lack of preamp, but hey it is the fault not in my budget card ... The same with an integrated preamp p'tit and it would be ultra-happy

Tip: The outputs of the beast are in mono, plan, purchase a double-Cable Jack / RCA for connection to an amp show.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

No, this is my first "real" sound card (other than SoundBlablabla bidulinity)

- How would you rate the quality / price?

I feel unbeatable.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I plan to redo this choice very quickly and buy me a second ... NO, the preamp first (essential with this card)

<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>For the record, I use for now, my old Valvestate-8080-with-the-HP-death as a preamp (I cut with a jigsaw to retrieve only the head ... some would say sacrilegious?! OK, but it has its mouth in my living room above my old amp Scott 70 years) and scratched it's a joke, for against a vocal microphone, c ' is not the top ...</span>

The main reason for my Torné to this map, was in fact the correct OCCAZ found on e bay as immediate purchase for 80 euro, but before confirming my purchase, I have been looking at the functionality and compatibility, because I possesses a Power Mac G4, and indeed, M-Audio products have a very good value for money, it was the quality for cheap, and compatible mac.De more, I preferred eu external interface, because it is more racoder the easy in and out when they should not make the tower more than two in and two out for me sufisent leads connected to my console.

UTILIZATION

The installation was a little hard, the seller had no driver, no manual, I had to get by, the record, it's easy on the m audio site, but the driver, has the ca was the obstacle course. M Audio does the update, then pares qq hours of research, I found a site that offered me such 01net the driver for both the driver mac.Une while it is alone, pretty simple config, comprehensive manual.

GETTING STARTED

The driver is stable, updated automatically, may rarely as no bug. J Logic uses audio with 2 inputs for the stereo, with the frequency I want, and that's the best!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using qq days, ith the distinction of being easy to use, no option of no use, good band in passnte in and out, makes me funny compared to other sound cards, internal computer historically used, a very good value for money, and if one day I rid m, c is that it will take me a card with more inputs and outputs, but I do not count m apart.

I have chosen the following characteristics:

need for ASIO sound card, 4 registered and 4 separate outputs, very low latency, its price.

I use it for recording and listening I spend my always with mixer (recording electric guitars and dry, voice, percussion ...).

I utlise xp pc with a single processor at 2.53 GHZ HP

UTILIZATION

the drivers are very stable, no problems over time, the updates are not frequent, but as long as it works ca poses no worries. Most often I use it with cubase sx2, zero-latency direct monitoring, and in most cases 8 ms mixing.
maximum track reading a dozen and a dozen audio midi, note that in my system is my processuer the limiting factor, I never reached the limit of the delta 44.

GETTING STARTED

stable and trouble-free installation, no incompatbilité encountered, the interface is not enough fuss, everything is clear, everything is in the manual, you just read ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had to buy it around 2005, I did not utililité a rack with 150 connections in the products offered the choice to require a relatively simple like mine was, therefore, limited comparisons were fast. the last very good value for money no failure, no bugg it meets ever-present, if I had known I would have taken the Delta 66 for SPDIF I did not know at the time.

Many drivers and many facts have motivated my choice and the convertisseurs.J 'uses this map to my home studio.Ma config is a 1GHz Duron with a motherboard MSI K7T Turbo2 and 256 MB SDRAM 133MHz 20GB IDE HDD 7200 RPM min with Windows 2000

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem (no need to reboot Win2000). Configuration is very simple to do and the explanations are clear and precise.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are pretty stable but there are still some crashes, it is nevertheless a powerful machine (Athlon XP or P4 min) for the drive without soucis.Les drivers are often made jour.Avec latency 9 ms things in place or VSTi effets.Je have yet to record multiple tracks at once but I happen to have 60 tracks read without crashing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I love it for its stability even with the bus VIA KT133 it works I totally have tried the Terratec and Audiowerk8?. The quality / price is very correct and if you want to use Cubase or Nuendo Midiman (subsidiary of Steinberg) made this card for you.

Originally written by fred le castel on Audiofanzine FR.

The main reason why I bought this sound card is that it was a bargain on ebay. M-Audio products have a very good value for money, they are Mac compatible (I have a Mac G4). I wanted an external interface because they make connections easier. The two ins/outs are enough for me to connect my mixer.

UTILIZATION

Installation was a bit difficult because the seller didn't have the driver nor the user's manual. I found the manual on the M-Audio website but it was much more difficult to find the drivers. M-audio provides only updates but I finally found a website that provided drivers for Mac. Installing the driver was very easy, the general setting is quite simple, the manual is very comprehensive.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and are updated automatically (there are few updates because it has no bugs). I use it with Logic Audio.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for a few days. Easy to use, no useless features, wide in/out frequency range. It's a huge difference compared to internal sound cards. Very good value for money. The only reason I would sell it is if I ever need more connections.
