Here is a map that I sduite both the price at the level of functionality it offers.
Indeed, it has 2 XLR + Jack with a comuter to impdance guitar. It was more a MIDI In port and one MIDI OUT port.
It has a VU meter and level SETTING THE live.
It connects via USB, which is nice because it's "Hot Plug" attaches a while the pc is on the way (unlike some Firewire card - not all -).

As I needed a card to connect my guitar, my sequencer and my pc. C'tait therefore the best choice. In terms of functionality and the price it fairly complte.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem. No polmique possible.

GETTING STARTED

There's just one problem at the implementation. So it's possible that has come from my laptop (a packard bell B3600) and if I put this same day chipsets + windows patches.)

The ASIO driver on my config does not hold: on my sequencer software, ds I 2VST place, the sound "dcroche".
However, the WDM driver is adequate, with more flexibility in choosing the RESOLUTION of frequencies and latencies trs acceptable.

Another oddity: MIDI sync REU is that if I plug the card hot. If I put the card before the POST and boot Windows XP, I do not reois sync.
So just (on my config, as I recall) I turn on the pc, then I plug the card and then I run the apps.

Knowing his troubles and solutions, the map does not suffer any impondrable. Is stable.

OVERALL OPINION

APRS 6 months of use. J'aprcie strong card. Even if the dynamics is not as its concurrent lev, it has a clear sound and everything is acceptable.
For that price, it's a good card.
