Best value:
Excellent
Much has already been said about this card but it is mainly for the view that overall I am writing this review because I want to share my usage a bit apart for whoever wants to.
NB: I did not invent itself. This is an expert who told me the pipe. I filled qd even other sections of the reviews for the fun and say what I think but it is not the most important. Go see the overall opinion on you're in a hurry.
Cheap occas.
Simple
Very easy to use
PC XP. behind a small personal mixer for the "all comers" but with a console pro borrowing for records that require miking much better.
UTILIZATION
I record two tracks left and right
never planted to date
I use free software that suit me very well.
I also have a eom version of Cubase that is doing pretty well whatever it was hard to configure the monitoring; due to my inexperience with this product, but not serious I'm not a pro (Fast Track, for that matter although it is marked above).
GETTING STARTED
Very easy installation. it worked the first time!
As the PC allocated to music and only music (or word or other games or even internet etc ...) is still on XP for a while everything is fine for installation.
OVERALL OPINION
I ½ for 1 year.
I worked a bit with a Tascam U.S. 122 Not much to say very very bad about it.; but nothing special either. I was in the entry level. And I got my money. And I'm still with FTP but there is a little more than the others did not.
One day on a record, I arrived at the edge preamps. I want to express here is that the sound was not as good as I expected. Since listening to a stereo set pretty decent (I will not do here to the measures that we do not hear in the ear), but realizes no misconception local guru from polluting our appreciation there has a something indefinable missing. And it is certainly not because of 220v cords of all only a few malignant imagining that putting the price of a solitaire it will change something. Duh! Yet in this thing there still has "commerçeux" who still rubbing their hands.
After much research and considering my budget, I was advised to a Fast Track Pro.
Not that the preamps are better. They are the same as in most of these good materials markets mediocre.
Parenthesis:
Ah yes like "Fast Track Pro"! "Pro"! Huh? Oh I think this material has never set foot in a studio called "PRO" and is not even close to doing troubleshooting. And since there is more, its successors the same price and its cousins from other brands: ditto!
The real power of this tool is rather precisely that for which I am quite happy to have followed the advice received: there 2 rear jacks insert!
Yes then? Well simply used the feedback input jack with a stereo "arranged" so that the insert of the "FTP" output is carefully isolated. In this way you end up with a direct acquisition card on the A / D converters without these "famous" preamp. Then charge you to lend you (or lease) a gear mixer with the preamp you want.
Of course if you can afford to buy you these consoles that cost an arm with real good preamp., I doubt that you came to visit the forum and review the Fast Track Pro. And you is not even reading all this.
So just for that subtle little sound card features I put a good score.
It helps if you find the ad hoc gear upstream to record a very nice thing to listen.
Otherwise the rest for the "all comers" zic oxen between friends who are laughing well and that will never see the top 50; or even the top 500 who do not have a budget stretch to infinity then there is this card very well.
I even posted a forum to ask if qq'un knew install both in parallel to record four tracks. but no response to date.
if yes I will seek another for this facility to make internal preamps when the goal the request (for pure acoustic).
zic very good to one and all
Ps: my ideal: I recorded a clarinet or a classical guitar. I close my eyes. I ask zicos playing his art. I listen to the recording. I wish I did not hear any difference. ah yeah i know ..... in another life when I'm Bill Gates. ah ben? there is no zic? yeah! but he afford all the gear he wants without touching the soldering iron.
But that does not make it my idol and I do not want more than that. I think he does not know how lucky he is even if it is with his job he got there.
