Published on 01/20/13 at 04:01On a macbook, recording vocals & guitar mainly, but also percussion, keyboards, bass, various MIDI etc ...
I bought it because I was working with people who use pro tools, that I was already familiar with this software, I wanted a portable and efficient config.
UTILIZATION
Used on mac with pro tools 8, a killer, never problem.
GETTING STARTED
3 min chrono
OVERALL OPINION
I post this opinion, because I have heard and read a lot of bad things about this card. I got pdt 5 years and I have to sell it because I needed more inputs, and I thought it would be a good secondhand to try other things. But now that I have more and I have tested many others, I realize how this map was excellent and convenient!
For those who do not want to take the lead with a computer, it is great, plug it works and presto, you can start recording. The few knobs on the front are doing their job, and can easily do basic manipulations (without using another software dedicated to the card to manage all that).
Never bugs, crashes qq small that I had were more than my computer, when I read and / or recorded until all fifteen tracks filled with plugs.
Latency is easily adjustable and has never asked worried.
Regarding the quality of the preamp and converters, it is quite correct, and how to say ... I feel that it is musical and faithful. No doubt, with it, a mix not great, and it will not sound good, then a proper mix will sound correctly. Sounds stupid but said that as I had other cards (usually best) on which bad mix not sound so bad. Well I find it rather disturbing is not it?
Note also, that I would have never thought, well this is the headphone jack, which delivers good sound and a sacred reserve volume!
Here, in summary, for the price, I find it excellent. It can do a good job without taking the head. It has everything you need, and get better you have to climb in price range.
