Value For Money : Excellent
I wanted a simple and cheap to try my hand at digital models to cleaner and more easily than 4 tracks anologiques. The appearance is not reassuring, especially the plastic used, also used by plants Kinder Surprise. The input knob is comparable to karaoke playskool of my nieces ... but well past the fear, you think it was worth the money.

The interface is currently connected to a Compaq Presario 920 EA WinXP Home via USB.
I go into the card via a mixer onyx 1220 by two jacks 6.35. I come away from the RCA outputs to a stereo input in the same mixer for monitoring.
I use the midi interface to connect a keyboard PCR 30.
Note that I have encountered problems of background noise unbearable until I put a reducer 3-2 at the laptop's power supply.

I record the vocals, guitars, aco, low BAR.

UTILIZATION

The installation and implementation is no problem provided we know a minimum ouindose environment.

GETTING STARTED

No worries notable drivers. It works with Cubase SX without worry.

OVERALL OPINION

This device is a good product if you do not need more input ...
Using a mixer via seems essential for four reasons:
direct input via microphone in jack and guitar is freezing, you get a much more musical preamps using the mixer.
The mixer avoids incessant disconnects connections-that threaten the life of the connectors of the interface.
In addition, the interface has no phantom power supply (must not ask either).
But above the headphone output is not used in 3.5, the background noise is unbearable, you must board through the table to "monitor."

I have no point of comparison, but for my own use, the interface for me, it is complete. It is always useful configuration "nomadic", even if I switch to a fixed config with more entries.
