JesseGS « Very satisfied with this product. »
Published on 09/12/11 at 18:19My choice was motivated by the number of mic / instrument / line XLR to record simultaneously on 4 channels, USB input on my laptop.
I use it by plugging my 5-string banjo through my preamp Ultrasound DI Plus (More DI input jack to the Instrument In and XLR DI Out XLR Plus at Fast Track Ultra XLR), and my microphone Shure Beta 58 vocal through my TC-Helicon Voice Tone Harmony G XLR (Mic Input XLR and two cables at the output of Voice Tone, one for voice dry, exit Dry Right, and one for the vocal harmonies, Left Mono output, about two of the four XLR inputs of Fast Track Ultra). The control of the harmonies is through agreements banjo connected via an output jack Output of Instrument DI Plus Inst towards the entrance of Voice Tone In the Guitar output volume to zero to avoid double sound of the banjo in the output Harmonies (Left Mono) due to non-use of the output Instrument Through (the alternative scheme "banjo - Inst Inst In and Through the Voice Tone - Instrument Input DI Plus" does not in my banjo I like the sound output of the DI Out XLR Plus, either to the Fast Track Ultra or to an amp or console).
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable so far.
I use Cubase LE which works simultaneously with all available channels but I have yet used the 4 channels of XLR front.
Audacity, meanwhile, does not, unfortunately, with more than two simultaneous channels with Windows because it does not Asio.
Ableton Live Lite, however, comes with Fast Track Ultra, does not more than 2 simultaneous channels and M-Audio have been making an effort on this point: Cubase LE Tascam foun well with the US-144 that has Yet only two input channels.
GETTING STARTED
The installation and configuration do I have posed no problem on XP SP3 or Vista SP2 32-bit and I have not met any inconsistencies.
The manual (in French) seemed clear but I am far from having used all the features of the interface.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years, and, as I said above, the number of simultaneous channels over two that determined my choice.
I had previously bought a Tascam US-144, but it is limited to two channels of XLR inputs.
It costs two times more than the US-144, but has three times as many input channels (+ 2 S / PDIF), including 2 XLR times.
I would definitely do it again this election unless I need more input channels (12 or more to register my group for example).
