    Between two outputs.
    I use it for everything and especially for the creation electro music.
    Mac OS X and iMac G4 800.
    With guitar, microphone, and electro stuff.
    Inputs and outputs of good quality, excellent preamp.

    UTILIZATION

    Installation PERFECT.
    No incompatibility.
    Gnial config: everything is on the case or so.
    Construction of super quality: the knob, or must, choose the frequency of live recording, volume control ... Etc ... is great art.
    Manual clear.

    GETTING STARTED

    Drivers NICKELS.
    Missing a MAJ to OSX in the end, but it's not serious trs.
    Latency excellent, super compensation hardware.
    All can run simultaneously inputs and outputs at the same time on the amp or headphones (against the duo m-audio) and the sound is good gnialement.
    Preamp effective.
    The excellent stuff.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I recently gniale its design, and look trs pro.
    I had had before the M-AUDIO DUO which is a bad memory for me.
    The report made quality is excellent.
    The construction is superb.
    The sound is good trs.
    The settings are right on the box so more problems.
    The converters are l and are good.
    Connectors numbers (digital too).
    Excellent, full of stuff from the fire of God for what they spineless card effective for long.
    I advice EVERYONE A because it is really, really really good.

    I use it both to record my guitar, synths or voices, and everything is super nickel, the converters are of great qualities. I also use virtual instruments, including a lot gourmants resources, and no problems, no lag or so, with the same buffer to a minimum.

    My config: atlhon 1800, 512 Meg of RAM, an ATA 100 hard drive for the system (win XP patched to donf), two UW SCSI hard drives to back up projects with Adaptec 2940.

    Avoid like the plague VIA chipset is not designed to record audio, that's it.

    UTILIZATION

    We put the CD and five minutes later you can start recording (not exaggerating!) on the other hand must at the base machine is super stable, I had to reformat it before putting the drivers.
    I have not read the manual, frankly there is not need.
    As for the config, just adjust the resolution and sampling frequency on the front and all rolls

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers are extremely stable, ASIO 2.0 and WDM too.
    Personally, I used those CD's for the moment I have not seen the usefulness of patched, to see later if I need it.
    I use Cubase SX and Sonar 2 XL and no discomfort, especially with Cubase, much more stable than Sonar, which is a shame given that Sonar is made only for the PC
    Regarding latency, I descent below 2 ms, but the USB card I use has a buffer, which can be done as I can afford these rates.
    As usually I record one track I can not say how much I can save the track at once, but easily more than 10 or 12

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been 6 months that I have and I expect the output of a model with more rack analos to zap my mixing console.
    Bon are still some flaws, but hey this is not necessarily related to the interface, but rather to win XP, so you're better interface plugée and turned the computer before running under pain of being without any sounds.
    The quality / price = TOP, I do not regret my purchase, but I read many test before deciding.
    Buy it back tomorrow if I do it again.

    The manual-there is not (you understand me! But in mac there is no need, just remember to put the rear panel to position "adv" or nothing at all)

    GETTING STARTED

    New-bone X drivers are stable, even a hot connection is possible (but not the software is open)
    The 2nd-generation is largely better than the first
    After multiple-test I work mostly on Cubase SX and acondition's insane to put a buffer means if it is too small there may drop or crack
    I do not listen in rerecording, but I could listen at the same time I was recording there was no latency
    I do not use that between analogue

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have used it for a year and a half first with Logic Audio Platinum 4.8.1 but as I was looking for software that was walking on OS X and Steinberg has competitive prices for teachers, I have cubase SX prices Dement is in audio,
    and what a pleasure not a plant not stall
    I was operating under a Audiowerk 8 (big poo full of shenanigans) but not the picture I hope to one da 2496 for osX drivers that will be released (same publisher but edirol sports area)

    Audio sound card

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple ASIO driver download, works well with cubase trs, no latency

    GETTING STARTED

    Nice, simple, careful however, 96hz, bizzare, it must choose either recording or playing, so I do not use it, it's better with a lot of ram on his computer, if not fast enough means cracking in the mix and output level connections, nothing wrong

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well, I use it for my home studio with a powerful pc trs (bi-proc, 1GH RAM), no problem, I added a prampli and I turn into usb1 I use 3 years, trs well for a small model to be home alone

    As its a 2 in/2 out audio interface, it has everything you need ! It has ASIO2 drivers for both Windows and Mac, which gives me a latency of just 4 msec. ! Nice to play softsynths with this interface.

    Price paid: €300

    UTILIZATION

    Easy to install, easy to adjust settings, and works with ALL audio software. Can it get any easier ?

    GETTING STARTED

    Its a high quality audio interface. Robust, and has no breakable knobs or whatever. Customer support is just fantastic ! I once needed help to install it, and they wrote me back in just one hour !! (the problem wasn't really a problem..it was my stupid mistake to not hook up the power supply)..

    OVERALL OPINION

    The sound is warm, and good. You can also hook up your Mic or Guitar with the XLR busses on the front of the interface !

    I use this interface at a daily base..and..i love it ! It ALWAYS works, Never clicks or Pops with asio, and i LOVE the sound ! If you're looking for just a 2/2 audio interface ...get this one !
