I was looking for a good audio card trs, a pro card, but actually made a "reasonable" with at least four input / output jack for machinery and instrumentals, and an input / outputs numrique. I hsit with the 1010 rack. Today I do not see what would have used 10 inputs! But that dpend the config of each. In short it is a map that perfectly matches my needs. It runs on PC with another audio intgre the motherboard (a CMDI) without conflict. I use the pre-amp Delta Omni i / o with this card. It makes life easier.

UTILIZATION

Very easy. Not much to say, it installs, you turn the computer ... worked perfectly. The manual is quite clear in French but not enough dvelopp on the configuration. (Size of the buffers, routing ...). Too bad when you are nophite. This will be the only black.
In fact the config panel interface is simple and clear, there is no risk of being lost. I only regret that the manual did not some "quick start" with clear examples of use. It would have made me gain a lot of time.

GETTING STARTED

Simple, really quick and easy. I use it with Nuendo. 6 tracks were recorded simultaneously with no latency. In addition to the pre-amp Omni i / o really easy to use: no need to plug / unplug the machines in all directions.
The website of M-Audio is very well done, the drivers are set rgulirement days.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month since I use it, and I am quite satisfied. This card fits perfectly my needs. The interface of the config is not exceptional, it remains easy to use and clear.
These and card is my opinion worth sr.

-The price! QUALITY !!!!!!!!!!!! Really for the quality!
Personal-use, to go further .....( like everyone else ....)
I-98 runs win, PIII 1GHz, 512 MB RAM, 110 GB of DD-
-The top for this card is to take the "OMNI IO" adapted for the delta 66/44- It's a high quality amp, I use monitor speakers in numrique or analog on the map (of Roland DS 50A), I use VST enormment instrumentals that work perfectly-

UTILIZATION

No-bp on the install under win 98, xp-
-Compatibility with EVERYTHING! (Except of course PRO TOOLS! And even if you use Logic Audio, y 'a way ....)
No-bp .........

GETTING STARTED

-Drivers, trs stable on any system (at least ...), pc win 98, win xp ....
-M-Audio always the first for updates to drivers-
"I mainly use the Delta 66 with Cubase VST 32 (also with cubase sx tst), Sound Forge, Wavelab, Acid ....
Under-98 win, I use it without any worries until the 10-12ms-below, it's hot ... In xp you can descend a little lower with .... obviously some risk of click-
-Up Submitted, it's pretty unlimited so long as there is not too much because this APRS dpend the number of runs, the cpu, effects ..... .

OVERALL OPINION

-This is a year I use this card and I am very satisfied, it is an excellent choice for lower cost of quality -
- What I prfre in fact this is the case "Omni" allows me to connect a microphone or a guitar with enough gain - By connecting various Vitantis all that could make a small mix console ....
I'm not a fan of the control panel, simple but good enough, blah-

-I test more maps from (I worked at Star's Computer Music in radius, but shhhhhhhut) is always better ... for more money! But the good in you your hardware!
