GETTING STARTED

So far, I've never really had a bp of stability with the drivers. The only "trouble" light clicks are encountered due to overcharging PC (heavy audio projects)

- Are they often updated?
The product no longer manufactured, there is more MAJ

- What software do you use most often?
Cubase SX3, various plugins and VSTi

It depends on the projects, but the latency is acceptable in all cases

- How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously? ...
For the record, I only used 2 tracks at once without pb.
For reading, I'm already mounted without too much trouble to 10 or 12 tracks with a bunch of plugins and VSTi

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
I use it for over 2 years

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
I liked the simplicity of installation and use, compatibility (with my stuff anyway), connector
What I like least is the lack of an XLR with phantom power.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I had a few years ago Maxistudio ISIS.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
At the time, the value for money is very suitable

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Not anymore because technology has evolved considerably audio cards (firewire, usb2) but if it was still 2003, I redeemed without pb!
