Entered XLR with 48V power supply line and instrument input plus the direct monitoring switch, what more for a solo project?

I use it with Live and Axiom25, I record primarily to micro, all kinds of stuff, all with the following config:

Asus M4A97
Phenom x4 BE 960T
Gigabyte Geforce Ti 560
4GB GSkill 1333 CAS 8
Corsair Perf. 3 Series 128 GB

Ultimate 64-bit Windows Cevennes.

UTILIZATION

Extremely stable drivers, found at the site builder (from XP to 7 64-bit, all are there, as well as all mac OS).
I use Ableton Live, which recognizes the trick immediately.
Live it off to watch a movie on VLC? Swith ASIO to WDM with a wink.
Small test with VST greedy, small does not crack, but the processor is good for a lot too.
I get 5ms latency, the same for all systems ASIO I knew.
Against this Part is limited to the 24-bits/48kHz for esgourdes sensitive, maybe it's not enough. For me? It is widely.

GETTING STARTED

Plug and play setup, but the ASIO you will first find the drivers on the site builder (in the blink of an eye do not worry) if you are on Windows Seven.
No general config to do, this card is minimalist at will.
The manual? I did not look so it is easy to use.
At the present time the system is perfectly stable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since last night. I updaterai if I ever have conflicts, but I doubt it.
I got a Phase 26 USB, an Edirol FA 66 and I tested a USB Presonus compete with it.

I chose it for the price of course. But if you want a sound that resembles the sound pro, still put the thirty euros in addition to the Presonus whose convertos have very good reputation.
