All user reviews of 4/5 for the Echo Indigo I/O

J'tais motivated to buy it because Echo makes good products gnral, Layla, Gina, and her friends ...
I wanted to do disparatre background noise of the card chipset on my laptop IBM thinkpad, and spend a few taken in 24-96 DSIR amliorer the quality of applications effect on work samples.
1 / 1 out: Perfect
Piti a knob for volume ... acceptable
I installed on an IBM T23 PIII 1 GHz 256K RAM on W2000 Pro
Let's go

UTILIZATION

- Installation is no problem it? : YES
- Have you encountered any incompatibilities? : NOT YET
- The configuration gnrale is easy? : YES
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... CDROM: OK> no booklet

Like all PCMCIA cards: it heats hard! j'espre that will hold a ... I will ask SCV (distrubuteur Franais) me confirm ...

No problem so ... a priori ...

GETTING STARTED

I do not think that under the W2000 drivers are stable trs, I expect the latest UpGrade ... if there is a. .. I met a few more random image software startup (few), but may be of c'tait something else ... I test again

In Asio or DX: no latency (small) - I use it for a good live sound, configuration: PC as a USB MIDI keyboard with sampler - software: Cakewalk V Sampler - This also works well with trs NI Kontakt.

A cable provided> 3.5 Stereo Jack --------- + Dual RCA adapted RCA/Jack6: not bad!
Between 1 Stereo sound for decision-24bit 96kHz - enough that the search (like me)
1 out Same Good (except the connections - I think that with use, a user will ...) around the plastic limit is ... we'll see in time> logically it for the Laptop Live then the connection should follow ... right?

OVERALL OPINION

I am satisfied with the product but I find a cheap 250 (200> OK)
I possde another sound card for the studio, I'll use that trs little to use Home Studio shoot. For laptopeurs I think it's a good product.
J'tais not looking at the price of the era so much I wanted, So now that I + Fauch I think 200 is the limit and with a better connection.

A small flat again, the card is no longer recognized by the system (W2000) APRS return from sleep mode. It must leave and re-enter the slot: J'espre that there will be an UPGRADE.
J'espre so that there will be an echo from Echo ...

Ngocier its price ... There's way I think ...

Purchased in January for its compactness and simplicity, it was very musical and a huge momentum very low latency, 2 to 6 ms at 48k. We just play "Live"
I'm just wandering musician and I make my arrangements around with a mini keyboard and a PCR-M1 COMPAK Presario Notebook: Celeron 1.4G, 2x512M RAM, HITACHI Travelstar 7K60 hard disk, 60 gigabytes to 7200 mt.
One problem though: in addition to the mini jack, the output is unbalanced, one can clearly hear the clock of the PC. To solve this we must isolate. I found two small tranfos line (MONACOR LTR-110). Installed in a plastic box the size of a matchbox, they provide an impressive silence, a very detailed and contribute to the dynamics. That's perfect.

UTILIZATION

For installation just follow instructions, or else watch ... The Update 6.11 is very stable, though somewhat laborious to install.
No problems in use until 15 days ago when it suddenly refused to walk while screaming the laptop, like "lawn mower". Tested on other machines, it was ok. As for the offending COMPAK I accepted it without flinching other PCMCIA cards. A puzzle that ended with a reference card. Waiting ...
Configuration, very easy, even when asked to carefully observe the console ... a mute unwanted happens so quickly, especially in CUBASE.
The English manual is not really necessary but it is on paper, it is already.

GETTING STARTED

Software: Cubase VST, KOMPAKT, Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Plugsound 1, 2 and 6, WINAMP, Audacity is all. This machine is dedicated to music (mini XP optimized, no IE or Outlook, no network connection, 16-bit video without sleep or wallpaper, etc. ...). XP uses 64 million at rest.
Latency perfect: between 2 and 6 ms at 48k.
I noticed, however, only had to use moderately WINAMP plug in the genre Vocal Remover pacemaker or if you want to avoid some unwanted cracks.
As a craftsman two tracks are enough for me. I do not have audio, but the MIDI.

OVERALL OPINION

The PCMCIA is exquisite: it swipes the card and you get the "sound". I use another until his return.
Since January she has been busy, warm, just above the hard drive. (8 to 12 hours per day)

For that price and simplicity are there other choices?
As for sound, with the case of isolation, it is huge, more than the "Audiophile" my sets.

A again, I do it again, even if we always remember to always handle with care.

"I bought this card in relation to advice on AF.
to have a good quality recording on my laptop and I t's not but ....

-I have a HP Laptop AMD Turion 64 2gb ram 900 160dd 5400tr go outside and yes ... lol
. I had a few clicks and audio problem of slowing down in my records, the sudden I sold the card Indigo and myself bought a Toneport KB37 more complete ... I even worry .... think it's my setup (AMD..) which is the cause of those clicks / audio delays. I will sell this damned laptop and try HP's competitors (like Asus for example) but also a processor-based Intel.

UTILIZATION

Easy Install xp ok

GETTING STARTED

Good drivers rgulirement Updated, super Echo, I will continue!
I use Cubase SX with a reasonable track, Reason, Soundforge

OVERALL OPINION

I used this card for 2 years or so, it made me good and loyal service.

I well liked the dynamics and quality of the sound that emerges.
In my humble opinion, the infigo I / O is very well for those who want a card from a simple arch / output quality and no more USB PCMCIA but then, nothing is connecting / d connect every time you want to move with his laptop.

but too bad they have not Russia to a 6.5 jack lol and the plastic starts to crack is because of connections / unplug constant but mine had too much VCU.
