Sound Card versatile, relatively low price, can rip vinyl in the entry line.
I use it to rip vinyl (for samples), to record my guitar (occasionally I use it as "amp" thanks to built-in effects), to connect an XLR microphone and a battery electronic MIDI
My computer is a MacBook 2.2 Ghz with 2 GB of Ram, it runs on its own, but be careful to use the driver version 1.1.2, which supports the intel mac (download edirol site).
All this runs perfectly, I could even do without the ultra-low latency, thus: beyond my expectations, 10/10.

UTILIZATION

The quick start guide is a bit no, not translated into French, which is a little tiring on the part of Roland (my TD6-kv, my Boss DR-3), the link to the webpage of the product is not indicated on the record. It's scary to see: "Sorry, but the interface is not supported on Intel Macs", mas good if not no problem.
It takes a little deflower the manual to use it effectively, but hey it must be admitted that this interface is more complicated than a Toneport GX Line 6
Manuel clear, special mention to the diagrams very pleasant to look at and easy to understand, but a big zero for the lack of French.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers stable? This is indeed a question of PC user ;-) Lol drivers perfectly stable.
I use Logic Express automatically recognizes.
The latency is obtained, as indicated above, low enough not to be remarkable (for normal ears I think I have anyway).

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ... today.
What I like most about this card is its versatility and its price is exactly what I needed for my small homestudio student. For defects I have not yet found, may be the lightness of the map a little "toy", but otherwise it's perfect ... Oh yes, it's a usb :-( When is 2.0 jacks, it's not cool!
This is my first audio interface + external MIDI, and I'm very happy to start with a high quality product.
I do it again this choice without much hesitation, especially for 150 euros at Thomann. In fact, it is not very "solid" and with more money I would rather invest in a firewire interface ... Great product anyway!
