I have prfr other external cards because I did not trust the firewire card for my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 - Core2 Processor 2.0 Gig, 2 Gig 667Mhz RAM, XP Pro. It seems that USB2 is in favor of Firewire for PC (?) The EMU is USB2.

I use it for home recording, practice, small, pre-amps are perfect with my Audio-Technica microphones, Seinheiser MD441, etc.. and I like the MIDI included in the box.

UTILIZATION

Absolutely no problem with installation.
I have read other opinions and some are experiencing inexplicable problem ... I do not understand that. It installs the driver for the CD, you plug the card on EMU USB port, you turn the card and XP recognizes it.

No incompatibility.

I did not need to take the manual, there is nothing easier to install :-)

GETTING STARTED

No problem either with the pilots.
I do the updates when EMU sent me an email saying that a new driver available on their website silent. I installed it and voila.

I mostly use Cubase SX2 and Reason 4.3
Latency of about 5 ms.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it new fvrier 2007.
Trs good value / quality to pay the price - 189 Euros (with the Proteus VX included on the CD)
I do not regret buying it does its job and both are fairly between analog INs for WRITING in my home studio. There are also some digital IN / OUT.
This did not bother to buy this card if you want to record drum parts you need or 8 (see +) between, I have a 9652 with 3 Hammerfall ADAT ins outs at this studio.
