AudioTrak MAYA 44 USB

I need a sound card more powerful than that integrates into your PC (P4 2.6 Ghz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD) to reduce the latency fleurtait with 150ms! unusable.
Now is the pass I sold my PC to switch to MAC (iBook G4 1GHz, 640MB RAM, 80GB HDD) and this interface no longer possde a very large intRet for me.
I used it with Reason for the live (December 15 ms latency with this interface) and walked a lot. Practice possder several outlets in Reason in any case ...

USE

Installation carefree, super easy.
No incompatibility is plug and play just as PC or MAC ...
OK Manual (almost useless).

IMPLEMENTATION

> The dconnents drivers all the time on PC, reconnect force (physically) the card to boot for it to be recognized.
> For MAC, it dmarre well but all the initialiss levels are at least obliged to hack the MAYA utility to exit or enter the su ... very boring.
> Converters hypermarkets noisy! I have used with Reason, DP 4.5, Live, etc ... same problem on a lg background noise that can be Gnant.
> 4th / s Concurrent, practice.
> 12ms latency at best, blah, the internal sound card for my ibook does the same without background noise ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 1 year.
Fragile product and dcevant: software-speaking not ergonomic at all.
Average performance: latency good but not exeptionelle, background noise for converters tages (very average).
BOFs drivers.
Purchase price 100 euros: mouais has worth no more.
I certainly do not buy it back the same hardware, I think it is not at all suited my uses ...

Which directed my choice c is the possibility of having 2 inputs and 2 outputs, because what is ASIO, and because of reasonable price

I mainly use the Mixer with Soft Mixvibes DVS (Digital Vynils System)

J have a Laptop P4 2.66 / 40 Go 5400 tr / min / 1 GB Ram

UTILIZATION

Install no problem
no incompatibility once found the latest drivers insztalls biensur (SP2)
The connfig Gnrale is very simple
The manual? I l AIMME not open .....

GETTING STARTED

Drivers Stables
Yes updates frquentes
Mix Vibes DVS
2 tracks simultaneously

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last 6 months
what I like its simplicity c is not useless stuff
j have not tried another model
Excellent price quality ratio
C If I had to be rebuilt without hesitate remake

- Characteristics that are very promptly reasons: price, four input and four outputs, the asio and usb for my laptop

- The use is for MixVibes DVS (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/index% 2Cidproduit 2C42763.html%) or I put my 2 turntables technics M3D entries in the Mayan and outputs to my mixer.

- My config: P4-m 1.5ghz centrino 40gig 512ddr 5400 rev / min, windows sp1 pack.

- My Instruments: 2 platinces technics M3D. mixer tascam xs-8 and mixvibes DVS (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/index% 2Cidproduit 2C42763.html%)

I put 10 for features because it is really what I needed.

UTILIZATION

- Installation no problem (a little boring anyway, must disconnect plug, finally we follow the assitance of the driver installation)
- No incompatibilities
- The configuration is simple and easy.
- Manual clear, but y 'are not needed.

GETTING STARTED

- Drivers not stable at all, when starting the windows I always have to disconnect and reconnect for it to be well recognized. I had to reinstall the drivers several times but it's not a big problem, because once detected its not loose.
- Frequent updates from the windows sp2 pack they released two updated.
- I get the latency is 4 ms and 9 ms in input and output in i believe the 2 addition on what makes me 16ms.
- I read two tracks simultaneously.

I put 7 for drivers not stable.

OVERALL OPINION

- It's going to be 6 months that I use.
- What I like most about it is that value for money for € 149 can use ASIO drivers to have a good latency, USB port for my laptop with these four inputs and outputs that correspond pil hair in my use.
I also like the LEDs on each input and output, we see how it runs.

- What I like least is that it uses no external power and uses that of the USB is more convenient but less reliable.

With the experience I would do this choice for its price, but now I'm trying to edirol fa66 or FA101, but it's not the same price either.
Otherwise if you have not better get a usb m-audio pci is € 100 which is much more efficient and less expensive.

- For what purpose?
Djing with djDecks Timecode vinyls and final scratch.

Very good: € 100 bought nine

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, because even though there a few bp of drivers (I have no miracle bp), once the card is detected there is no worries.
