E-MU TRACKER PRE-USB 2.0

I chose this card to its low cost and sufficient number of features and connectivity.
I thought at first a 0404 USB, but the dealer I went to do the longer provided.

My config:
_PC Dell Vostro 1700
_Intel Core2 Duo T9300 - 2.50Ghz
_3Go Ram
_Windows XP SP2

My use:
_possédant already a MIDI / USB, I did not need this card to play with very low latency
_enregistrement with pre-amplification (micro)

Few connections, but not need more in my case.

UTILIZATION

Trouble free installation.
Not really need a manual, but it looks pretty clear.

The problem is that ... not implemented on Linux-_-

GETTING STARTED

Big disappointment on the driver:
_a my knowledge no opportunity to record what happens on this sound card (input "stereo mix"), except by plugging a cable connecting the intermediate outpouts (two jacks 6.35mm, located before the headphone output in audio bus) to the microphone or best two XLR inputs.
_réelle disappointment that the drivers do charge an application! You can not make the computer music and juggle his favorite music player or even another program computer music (not running or other ReWire connection between software system) NOTE: Internet browsers can operate in conjunction with a reader multimedia audio level for example, because the application is "Windows".
_parfois need to close / reopen an application for the sound so good, but nothing too serious. on the other hand I sometimes had a bit of distortion in the sound with Reason. I switch off the Tracker Pre, I turn back, so good.

The installation of the software works well, but I do bugger Proteus totally my computer: blue screen and reboot, whether standalone or VST (not least when Cubase plugin detects the start of it, that bug same)

However, I can still OK to do what I wanted was a shame for Proteus VX for me.
Latency: 2ms.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for nearly three weeks.
I particularly appreciate the low-latency and pre-amplification quality I think.

This is my first sound card.
I think the quality / price is right but if I had to redo this purchase knowingly, trying to find a card with as few connections, but above all the functionality: better drivers! But that can not really knowing in advance ...
