vinyle12 « Well designed, but recognition on random mac »
Published on 05/13/12 at 08:23I was looking for a soundcard 8 inputs for models with my rock band
I had to use it with my MacBook Pro 15'' 2011, OS10.7.4
The "extra" that decided me on:
2bus headphones-separated,
-Allows you to run protools Mpowered
-The price of oscaz I found (a bargain!)
Only disappointment: It is reported as 8 input card, if in fact it was not an instrument that comes out of the SPDIF, there are more than 6 ... In the future I'll be careful ...
UTILIZATION
mac the driver is stable, and well done: you can edit the patches of each internal lineout accurately (to adjust volume of 8 inputs hardware, software and 8 bus!); practice to remove the monitor of each entry on a different amp (save grat 'crude before passing through an amp)
I tested with reaper, garageband, protools, the NI B4, it was niquel. not checked the latency but nothing audible ..
GETTING STARTED
The problem is that the map and recognized one of 10 faith by the mac ... especially when the external power supply is connected. This bug is identified on the Site for Avid / M-Audio, but obviously I have not seen him before buying ... apparently it only applies to mac ...
OVERALL OPINION
In short, this is a product MAUDIO well designed, but the recognition by the computer is too uncertain to be usable. I therefore separated a few days after receiving it ... shame!
I turn to a Presonus FirePod, which has 8 real input preamp, and a firewire normally very stable on the Mac.
