esl « Swiss Army Knife »
Published on 06/01/10 at 13:22Compact, affordable, comes with a software package (SONAR + VST), it makes a beautiful box to serve as a home studio show followed a short training.
UTILIZATION
No problems with drivers provided. There is a small step for online registration at installation, nothing really bad. I work with W7 without pb.
I use it standalone or with a DAW. Integration with SONAR's version provided is natural, but can also be used with software that recognizes the Mackie (Ableton Live for my case).
Despite the provision of SONAR and operating facilities offered with SONAR, I did not give Live. I found too heavy for my SONAR Home Studio needs.
I use 8 tracks with imperceptible latency.
GETTING STARTED
SAR for installation and configuration. It is generally easy to implement. The doc is there, and pretty damn well.
OVERALL OPINION
The assessment after 9 months of use is positive. The manufacturing quality is serious, pb-free operation, the software package is correct, especially interesting if you are going to do much.
It is compact, easily transportable and can operate standalone. This product is a good Swiss Army knife, this may not be the best knives, but for the nomads, home-studio owners or small groups is a very good introduction.
