Published on 02/21/11 at 02:47simple connectivity (MIDI / XLR / Hi-Z / RCA ....) and effective (comp / limit, phantom power)
solid metal case
I would love to have 2 headphone however ....
used with mixing desk yamaha / guitar / keyboard controller (noon) and sometimes a SM58
i740QM / 4Gb / 600Gb/7200rpm / win7x64
UTILIZATION
drivers are very stable ... for now ... but RAS is the 2nd Edirol I have and I've never has been worrying about drivers!
uses sonar with X1 (better than cubase for x64 with ....) and sometimes with cubase 5.5, which is my sequencer of choice ... but the engine is only 32bit.
the drivers are updated as edirol when he needs it!
latency 48kh/24b = 6.8m .... works well (I do not use 96khz)
GETTING STARTED
nothing complicated with this card, everything is in facade .... just turn the knobs (after selecting the desired settings on the back course )
the direct monitoring has an adjustable volume and thus allows to mix processed signal (if active monitoring of the track) and direct signal, which is very valuable to record instruments, and of course it also supports a zero latency at a recording from a signal trafficking (eg by a pedal, no need for the monitoring of the runway, while retaining the ability to independently control the volume of the signal)
I want to point out that qq jai have problem with my USB 3.0 port but I do not think that would come from the card ... instead of drivers of my PC .... I have a 2.0 branch (the only jai!) and for more than a problem ... if I sometimes sound stopped and I had to deactivate / reactivate the monitoring of the track for him to come back ... rather annoying when it happens in the middle a recording! It's only
OVERALL OPINION
qq weeks that I'm using it but it is not my first map so I do not need any longer for me to review!
I've ordered a novation Nio 2 / 4 but could not make it work properly (x64 is not officially supported) the sudden I'm back home edirol / cakewalk so I've had in almost 15 years of computer music, almost has never complain!
the sound quality of the converters is satisfactory, as the comp / limiter which is rather good job ... it's no frills but it works correctly.
4 RCA outputs and 2 headphone jacks make this card perfect for me, but it is still pretty strong and stable so from my point of view the price / performance ratio is satisfactory.
From the perspective of the opportunities it offers the card itself is good without being exceptional (the competition is not worse from this point of view), on the other hand of drivers it very stable and it is a VERY big plus.
I think the only brand for which I would change it would be RME. I intended to buy the departing babyface, but since I did not need a large number of inputs and high-end converters, it would have been a bit unfortunate. In the end this UA25 satisfy me (almost) fully, and I do not regret my choice. This is an interface to advise those who want to start in good conditions or those who, like me, identifying their needs and do not really need the "high end".
