Best value: Excellent

Interestingly the number of inputs and outputs, the fact that it is a USB2 connector which is often considered more stable than the firewire on PC (and experience, I can tell you that this rumor is not necessarily unfounded XD)

- For what purpose?
Created on Fruityloops (computer music), Assignment of tracks for live performances.

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Dell XPS M1710 - 2.33 GHz (Dual Core) / 2046 MB RAM /
WINDOWS XP SP3

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
Oxygen 8 v2 keyboard plugged in at noon, a voice effect pedal stereo input

UTILIZATION

To meet people who have had problems, I myself had many problems at the beginning with this sound card. But all is resolved now. Here are the pb I had at the start:

- Having to plug / unplug several times before the sound card is recognized by the drivers.
- Inability to hear the other outputs set aside the 1 and 2.

RESOLUTION PB:
- To update the bios! Once the bios version 1. 10 A07 installed on my computer, could the problem of recognition of the driver.
- Plug the AC adapter from the sound card! Once connected, the sound card is full operational! ;)
PS: I also passed to the Windows XP SP3, I doubt it changes much, but just in case! : P

NOW: have no worries, it dépoteeee !!!!! > <
PS: for those who also have a pb to run an oxygen 8V2 with this sound card or other on fruity loops, I have just connected a cable evening of clav to fast track ultra, and activated the generic controller Noon fast track in fruity. It rolls nickel!
