Value For Money : Excellent
Caréctéristiques-technical:
USB port can record with no latency.

Configuration
I turn on Intel with very little RAM (1024 I think) and a hard disk on which it must remain 16 gigabytes of free

Usage:
I am a professional musician programmer, so this is the center of my mini home studio
Equipment connected to the EMU 0404 USB White:

With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) and you use the connection with what?
Yamaha MG12/4FX a table, a master keyboard Prodipe 49C, Expander Korg 03R / W, that's about all.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?
Rather, often need to restart but never one on / off do not crack the driver when I use a stand alone software that does not support the card.

Software used:
THE SONAR 6, I have not had the opportunity to use it with something else

How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously?
An infinity, assuming that I have a nearly full hard drive I'm limited, but someone with a normal config should be able to do what he wants.

They are often updated?
The drivers are updated enough I found, and the update allowed me to reinstall the driver after I left the installation CD to 8000 km from here

Latency:
0 under Sonar, Cubase LE 4 light but I have not pushed the buffer settings

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?
Without problems, a baby would arrive

The general configuration is easy?
It is a true plug and play, at least under Vista.

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Yes a few, with plug ins stand alone pre-Vista

The manual is clear and sufficient?
I am satisfied pleintement, there is not much to look inside, it is very easy to use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 3 or 4 months, I shot under Creative Basic before but I never had sound card without latency.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The color is still white, it looks cool on a PTI office home studio as mien.Le side plug and play me like a lot too.
The fact that both input faders are not linkable is a little handicap because we must set them manually to achieve the perfect level of stereo.

Value for money:
Excellent, especially on the net that it's cheaper price than I bought it or

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes really, because the few problems I met with do not change its practical
