Value For Money : Poor
CHARACTERISTICS allchantes, 8 pramp of quality perfect for drums, and various display resolutions chantillonages to facilitate conversions ...
Using OSX 10.5 with an Intel iMac 4GB Ram.
Use home studio / record RPTES.
Branch in firewire.

UTILIZATION

Drivers stable? Okay, not great in OSX. It teind is back on, restart it, still nothing ...
Once launched it is launched.
Used with Logic Pro 8.
It can record 8 tracks easily but then quickly overload the CPU, 8 tracks on an empty project.
RAS latency.
I put 2 use for its instability rcurrente.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is not the top.
A FIREPOD has fewer options but There's also less sea ** s.
The config is not great, the buttons are not moldy plastoc prcis.
The config is sometimes his own and only changes everything.
I put 2 because There's nice that give an ide led (or not) of the clipping.

OVERALL OPINION

Uses in a year.
I think this card is not worth its price.
The preamps are not great, the knobs not notched on one battery with the overheads, even in the line / mic and a 0 dB peak (capt why I never! Power the preamps is it so Powerful? ps: test with different microphones)
I did not buy but a friend. I would never have bought otherwise (It will not please him). The opinions ngatifs taient trs unusual the era of purchase, I see that it went well DGRAD thereafter.
Frankly, with all its complex possibilities, we include anything, especially since a does not work that MOITI so it gets worse. It's expensive and not ergonomic. The switch the rear are plastic and not prcis a pet.
The level of the LEDs is also a bit wrong (Difference of 0dB numrique / analog??)
In short, look elsewhere especially if you do not know much.
Take the plug-n-play plutt ^ _ ^
