I need a lot of I / O for connecting microphones via pramplis add ass machine. Cete card 16 for connecting I / O can be connected and supplmentaires 3 rack 2408 on the map so PCI324 I / S...plus of 70! Finally, the reputable and quality of MOTU hardware, coupled to a relatively low price, I jump on it!

The use is exclusively for home studio composed electro-rock.

the PC is an Athlon 1.8 with 512 DDR ram, motherboard ABIT KX7-333 with VIA chipset, Matrox G550 millnium, notch 454 Iiyama 19 "DD160 Go ..

the card is plugged into an MD exit (DAT), I / O fool numriques branches on the TC Electronics Triple-C (Stereo compressor), the output go to the effects. the monitor output of an amplifier and speaker KRK. Entries: 1 akai (Stros outputs), an expander, a prampli ... I have yet to branch into extensions of ADAT but certainly next year.

UTILIZATION

The installation was not without problem, quite the opposite but that does not come from the card but to my MOTU motherboard and my System. I've had conflict with my motherboard but rglages After a few in the BIOS, and the SHIFT Systm, everything is back to normal. Under XP, the installation was done but did not see the PCI324 interface 2408. So I had to change a parameter in the BIOS (I mentioned in the tip section).

gnrale configuration is not empty for someone who used a card until the stro paraittra but simple for a user card mutli I / O as the motu, the RME or M-Audio.

the manual is an amazing quality in French for Mac and PC. Everything is trsdtaill with schmas, examples ... 65 pages of explanation!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers seem stable for now trs (2 days of use). They are set fairly rgulirement days and support for the card is always assured.
It's been one week for cons I galre to use the I / O (for all) because the ASIO drivers do not seem to work. I will give a notice in Lorqui cetet Part I addressed this concern -> ds cubase rule that I add to grate my bus I / O

OVERALL OPINION

I just acqurir C but a good map and trs occasion, it is found around 400.
I like the sound card in this (terrible), the Possibility of extension impressive, the headphone jack in faade, construction treats.
I like the least connection with RCA (trs pro and not boring when you have all devices in 6.35), lack of management MIDI.
I have not tried many MODEL acqurir before but it's a super MODEL ENTSO and I do not at my purchase. The ratio quality price, used in relation to performance and expandable is unbeatable! MOTU Vive!
