    I was motivated by the presence of good preamps, multiple inputs multiple outputs, and the ability to use it as a standalone mixer.
    I use it mainly for recording on Cubase, voices and guitars.
    I Fast Track, which I was very happy and go to higher model for me was a token of peace.

    I was initially a Sony Vaio, core2duo, 4GB Ram, Win7 64bit

    UTILIZATION

    This is where the plot thickens ca. The driver is in my opinion not stable or reliable.
    Firstly, it does not like the computer goes to sleep. It simply cuts and you must restart the computer for the system to work again. Therefore required to disable auto standby, not very green all this.

    This is where the plot thickens ca. The driver is in my opinion not stable or reliable.
    Firstly, it does not like the computer goes to sleep. It simply cuts and you must restart the computer for the system to work again. Therefore required to disable auto standby, not very green all this.
    I use Cubase 5, and when it works I can read twenty tracks simultanément.La latency is quite correct, but when you want to record with effects live ca impossible. Be.
    Following problems standby computer, I found myself in a few months with bous system less stable, my OS has taken a hit, and I had to reinstall windows. Tired but, after 2 years, I decided to buy a computer to start on a sound basis. My mistake, the current ordis are almost all equipped with USB3.0 ports, this is the case of mine, and I do not have USB2 .0.
    Surprise, the driver is not compatible. To use it gives good sound for 15 min, followed by large cracks and a total cessation of sound. Reboot mandatory. Impossible to work. The only solution is to buy a USB2.0 Hub and again, I have not tested this solution. In addition, after-sales service is non-existent in France since M Audio was acquired by Avid. The technician I had mail me dt he could do nothing better than to return to the U.S. or Canada.

    GETTING STARTED

    I refer to previous topics.

    OVERALL OPINION

    With 2 years of use, the card I was more disgusted the home studio she helped me create. I spent most my time solving problems than making music.
    Obviously, I would do that choice.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Disappointment. In terms of look, do not be fooled by the classy packaging indicating that the frame is chrome. This is pure plastic, was almost afraid to drop it anywhere ...

    I think after this experience is that the product is not yet fully developed although it looks promising. Disappointment

    The latency of 5ms and can easily adjust the buffer. The control software of the card is pretty cool when he wants to appear, and importantly by what rule all by himself.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for about 7 days I will be returning for warranty. Jms I could use the card more than 3min and only once ... yes you read that right.
    What I want? : M-Audio stops to make fun of his clients is finished I do not buy homes. I had several cards before (as in PCI, so for the old one had it before) and it was not so bad.
    The value for money is unbeatable! There is no better scam!
    More jms home I say.

    PS: sorry for the tone but for once I take the time to give my opinion on a forum ...

    No difference in latency compared to the Fast Track USB (my previous card). So I'm pretty disappointed at that level.
    In trying to make my first record, I realize that the second entry is dead.

    I bought to replace the Presonus Firepod 10 for just 100 euros more. Installation in 5 minutes, won in 20, inseparable in one day.
