I bought it today (2009 06 06) (do not worry, I would of MAJ.
CHOOSING: j'hsitait two USB soundcards: the EDIROL UA-25EX and a alesis.
Finally, advice from an APRS user warning and some web search, I bought the edirol (shame: the included Cubase LE Alesis: I dj sonar).
The CHARACTERISTICS that led this purchase are: SETTING THE SENSITIVITY acquisition, taken Neutrix (jack and XLR) balanced with phantom power, output as unbalanced and balanced also in the limiter adjustable in between, and all the little extras that will surely: the input / output optics (see my device, it will), the MIDI I / O, and all other hardware rglages asser cool.
Primary use: recording, especially balanced: connected on a plate or mixing / routing, either directly on two AKG microphones with phantom power.
the configuration where I tested the sound card is an old PC ultraportable Sony Vaio 900MHz with XP, ASIO4ALL drivers, the driver 1.0.0 on the site of edirol and SoundForge 8d for recording. I dj optimized XP, so I think even without, has not run badly at the moment (in 44.1khz, 24bit).
UTILIZATION
-There is no problem to install (Obviously I did install the drivers BEFORE connecting the sound card).
-Level incompatibilities, a priori, SoundForge works perfectly with a 900Mhz processor and 512MB of RAM.
-At the gnrale configuration: it is very simple (can be a bit too simple), just a tab in the Control Panel.
-Finally, the manual is clear and trs by reading diagonally you understand everything (just read some English), otherwise there is nothing wrong.
GETTING STARTED
- The drivers are stable?
(I do not see the little time I performed the test.)
- Are they often put day?
(Currently version 1.0.0)
- What software do you use most often?
For my config: Soundforge.
- What you get lag?
I did not measure
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
For my use, I only records two mono tracks and I often read simultanment 4 mono.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
few hours (there will be up days)
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+: Neutrix sheets, trs good prampli, switch hardware monitor, ...
-: I have AIM can connect an external power supply to alleviate the computer (but it works perfectly, so ... a will.)
other -: when it is used in 96KHz, you can not use it in Simultaneous recording and playback, and change, it must unplug the USB (I have not tried Unplug without), but hey, as for burning to CD, it's 44.1 KHZ, I use the 24bit prfre RESOLUTION in order to normalize the vertical recording and releasing a WAV PCM .
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
things that have nothing to see: Creative Audigy 4 Platinum, Creative MP3 + (USB Single)
- How do you report qualitprix?
for 229, box mtal very solid, does not heat, I think we just do not force such a nag on the knobs (improper storage / transport) in short, trs good.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
If I need a second card, I think now that I gladly achter a second time, but currently, only one is enough.
