Value For Money :
Excellent

PRE -2 with phantom power on XLR
-1 On high impedance input jack (a second input jack with PAD)
-2 Outputs on TRS
-2 In line
GearBox software-suite / PodFarm
UTILIZATION
< <Les drivers sont-ils stables ?> >
Yes and no
I always used the latest drivers to date.
I also use my pc to play (Guild Wars then and now Guild Wars 2) and the map crash the game regularly see the whole pc (with reboot) when used to monitor enjoy to play. I gave up and used so the internal sound card with another card kit as its default windows for gaming and internet. The UX2 is my Yamaha HS80M monitors are suddenly exclusively dedicated to music.
Cubase 3SX Cubase 5.5 and later it was common for the driver picks up and suddenly I had to disconnect / reconnect the USB cable, restart the pc DAW see squarely to continue working (3 to 4 times a session a aprèm noon).
Now that I use Studio One 2 I have not encountered this problem, any time I do not use the ASIO4ALL driver for Line6 but better latencies.
< <Quelle latence obtenez vous ?> >
Windows 7 x64 with an i7 2.4Ghz and 6GB of RAM.
* With the Line6 drivers 4.2.5.4:
A 128 samples (Lowest NOT stable in use) I 15ms
* With ASIO4ALL 2.10:
A 88 samples (stable in use) I have about 4ms
GETTING STARTED
RAS for installation.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this card for 7 years and I'm about to change. I think therefore have a more objective opinion today as when I bought it and I had stars in their eyes.
At the time (being a student) my choice was guided by my budget. Paid around 190 € new stars in music, the compromise price / functionality seemed that there was more interesting market to save my models and compositions.
For negative:
-The plastic pots are really cheap
-Fragile! The hood of my pc which lay beside her and fell on crashed (blinking red LED, it will not work again), I had to call for service that I did an exchange for a new one. RAS over there everything went well.
IT black spot is the PRE which are really bland (no shine). B2Pro used with a Blue Spark and SM57. The last quarter of the gain can not be used because the wind is too strong. When we know that the gain is 40db bottom is not great (do not even use a ribbon mic).
No-noon (I had to buy an M-Audio One to connect a keyboard)
-Some modules PodFarm are very far from reality (I think among other their "copy" of the LA-2A is a vast hoax). But overall it is a good starting point for those looking to explore the effects of different studio without breaking the bank.
Despite all that I would recommend to a beginner UX2 computer music with small needs.
