UTILIZATION

the drivers are very stable PC (with Vista, XP) and mac. I used with the Logic and Nuendo.
Sometimes I record two tracks simultaneously without probmleme

GETTING STARTED

no problems with installation, configuration is a breeze. output jacks for monitoring speakers, the headphone input séarées, the ability to listen its direct or scanned, or even a mixture of both are very significant.

OVERALL OPINION

For a small budget, it is very bien.Il must be aware that the built-in preamp is not powerful enough for mobile use outdoors. an external preamp is absolutely necessary, phantom power is very poor, many of breath, however, can record a guitar, bass or other as long as the input volume is powerful. with an external preamp, you can appreciate the quality of A / D converters The sound is very propre.Par against the D / A converter is of poor quality, the sound of screaming is that the volume goes up.
You can record with a quality largely satisfactory but not mix with ...
I put the note in view of the quality of input converters, stability ... However, another weak point: the connection by USB sound card is weak. for mobile use, c is quite fragile.

The value for money is good but being passed to the RME UC, I am aware of its weaknesses (7fois its price too!). I think for the price, c is a good choice but do not expect use it directly except to the guitar or bass.
