Value For Money : Poor
I bought this card because I have a desktop and a laptop.
The laptop take so much easier to rp and solutions as Firewire or PCMCIA expensive (for a budget like mine), I chose this card.
The vboitier looks super tough for the raw, should go ...
Usage: Mainly to make the recording bass voice, and especially to run with less latency vsti my SB128 (23 ms lol)
My config: Fixed: P4 2.6c Asus P4P800 1.3GB DDR 800 fsb i865pe
Notebook: P4 2ghz / 512 Sdram CM No name
I use audiophile connected to the output of my console Yamaha MG12 / 4:
Output MG12/4-> Between Audiophile in jack 6.35
Audiophile output -> Between MG12 / 4 RCA

UTILIZATION

Free installation prob ... Install drivers, reboot, and enjoy yourself audiophile alllumer
No incompatibility with me (against the other, those who are still under 98, must be the update USB audio)
Config panel of audiophile may be too minimalist my taste, especially in terms of latency: SETTING THE frquences the 16/24, latency Very High / High / Medium / Low / Very Low (no r tings buffer or anything ...) and activation of diffrent between terminals ... possibility to enable DTS output Numrique.
The manual is in English, but everything is in French Submitted to the website of M-Audio ...
Fairly complete software bundle (Ableton Live, Sampletank SE ...)

GETTING STARTED

No problem with drivers (at the same time, a fact that two days I have), and tojours full update, the site of the manufacturers ... thank you M-Audio ...
Before, I used ACID Pro 4.0 (because of my SB128, who was not even test Cubase) ... Now cubase .... no problem for testing startup ... Correct latency (10-15ms) for the USB (16/44), I expected worse ... sincrement the VSTi are super playable, no lag problem experienced (I'm not a great concert pianist).
on the other hand, sometimes dcroche the map, as if the buffer full silent ... especially on large type SampleTank VST & co. The SP1 was good, but still happens ... So, reboot required ... if you overload it with a dozen large VST has gnral follows ...
So, taking big head to find the best combination of settings for a running properly in Cubase SX. Take at least one or two hours to find what runs best depending on your config.
I've been running more than 11 audio tracks, plus 3 VSTi, no cracking, no jumps .. on the other hand, if you overload VSTi, hurt ...
With the VSTi Host brainspawn as strong, there's no problem, more than two hours in a row ...

OVERALL OPINION

Personally, the audiophile's ideal Utisa I wanted to do ... All I'm running without problem, without taking head
As I said, the case is super strong. gold plated connectors, it does not care about us at no m-audio.
Pay 239 euros Submitted often in a store in the ads (with whom I had also qq problem but ...)
For a low budget who want a cheap card quality LET you, it's all good ...
