This card deserves a 10/10 as we know it is configured only, and perfectly, for recording guitar / bass.
It is possible to connect the synth live and enjoy the stereo, but no MIDI.
I have an Original Floyd LAG with which I can go live and then add my effects, or by first passing by my pedal Digitech RP3 sound to work.
I installed XP Pro only one partition dedicated music only Nuendo (Cubase cousin) and its plugins are installed and, miraculously, with my little Athlon 1.2 Ghz and my 256 MB of RAM, it turns impeccable.
What motivated me to throw myself on it:
Sufficient technical data: 24 bits / 48 Khz
Certainly not 96 Khz, but as I already use some of my effects pedals, I will not mistreat the sound excessive.
Ease of use
Mobile sound card
Latency it seems feeble
Sound card designated hardware and software for recording guitar / bass with extra, an XLR for a mic asset I have in my possession, an old relic of an old podium as a springboard ...
UTILIZATION
Installation is extremely simple and effective. Never seen that!
As usual, you have to fight with his Pro sound card, USB or not to release something, well, it installs in 15 seconds.
What about if I waited any message, my guitar on his lap. I stayed a while to fix my screen where n'apparraissait nothing special, then I scraped a rope and, surprise, I heard.
GETTING STARTED
So we know that is limited to recording one track at a time.
The quality is impeccable! Whether in its natural or through my or my Shred Master pedal, reproduces the sound was smooth and I can rework it in abundance.
The big idea is to have an integrated audio mixer to agree directly. No need to use the return on the recording software, which saves even more system resources.
So, with my very feeble config (remember Motherboard DFI AD77 deficient + 256 MB RAM + Athlon 1.2 Ghz) it turns impec with several cascading and see several MIDI tracks using hypersonic, it turns impeccable.
With Nuendo, no worries. Once this one set to use ASIO drivers for Fast Track, the latency obtained, and not even a background is 6 ms .. Therefore negligible. Config with a more robust (but also own a facility) lla latency must be able to get around the 2-3 ms in 24 bit 48 Khz.
A gain control input guitar could have been added. This is the only fault I could find.
OVERALL OPINION
A 9 / 10 when I put all of 10/10?
And yes, this sound card is limited in its use is its only flaw.
Otherwise, for what is to register with his small guitar or the bass should be, as Spinal Tap, to put a small 12/10, it would not fly.
I love its ease of use, qualities Audio Pro with a sampling of quality and background noise exist (despite my proximity to the screen and an electrical installation not terrible). I love the guitar mixer / audio output that can even make his lines all while watching a Divx, if you want to work the soundtrack of Star Wars for example ...
Best of all, a nice software that simulates comes with a whole bunch of effects and allows playback to play on his favorite songs to work (ie health).
As for the quality / price ratio ... less than 100 € used, and even found the net nine ports available € 109 .... There is really, really no better.
My previous card was a Maxi Studio ISIS. I have seen other pro cards run on other machines, often more comprehensive, more expensive .... But none as "Plug'n Play".
If it again, I buy a lot sooner!!
