- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
This sound card is not CHRE trs, and has pramplis and a 48V power supply. Prsence the input-output SPDIF Midi and make it fairly versatile. This aspect silent important to me, who practices classical recording as Varita So with all types of connections. The outputs symtriques on Stereo Jack, can be used in environments parasites, with confidence, that a silent CRITERIA also important choice for me.
- For what purpose?
I use this sound card to record as much at home in the move.
- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Viel computer in 2000 with a celeron 600Mhz of wheezy, 256MB of PC100 SDRAM. HDD 250GB SATA, connected to a Controller Card VIA. Motherboard ASUS bizarre (MODEL non standard)
- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?
I record from mixers (Online Stereo), microphones (with 48V, for example) or direct instruments: piano Midi guitar.
UTILIZATION
- Installation is it without problem?
With XP SP2, no problem. With all other PC operating systems, impossible! Rcemment all came out of the same Vista driver ... This silent time! M-Audio does not rev brilliant from this point of view l. on the other hand, XP Pro SP2, it works the first time! I obviously had better luck than others ... (See review Previous)
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No incompatibility with the software I use.
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
The control panel of the card is ultra-simple: we choose what I / O is active (note that this affects the frquence of chantillonage: between and with an active output, c is up to 48 kHz, with only 2 inputs (not output) is 96 kHz), we Sets the latency, and we also ACCS few internet links: drivers, manuals, etc. .
- The manual is clear and sufficient?
It is not used much, the operation of this card is intuitive trs. The manual itself is rev limit ... ^ ^ and PDF
GETTING STARTED
- The drivers are stable?
My computer crashes often. However, the drivers have never been planted: good stability, then!
- Are they often put day?
Last day seems to have disappeared from the vocabulary of the brand M-audio ...
- What software do you use most often?
I use Ableton Live Lite 6, which comes with the card, and Samplitude 8 Pro to record. For playback, I use Musicmatch Jukebox 9.
- What you get lag?
Live Lite to get a minimum of 8 ms latency (in ASIO). Your exact is substantially the same in samplitude. It is enough to record in RE / RE, and with a PC like mine, has Relva a feat!
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment?
I am especially the limit of my PC, which quickly trs train ... The map is not in default for ten track APRS for a larger number of tracks, I would be unable to give an opinion.
The design and the design of this card makes me a remarkably simple to use. J'apprcie Submitted particulirement many buttons on the map itself, which are much more practical than the virtual faders = increasing panel CONTRL, as is the case example for the Fast Track Ultra.
The diodes also provide information on Fawn normal state of some I / O (Midi, for example). By diodes against the 'Signal' and 'Clip' are of little use: often I record with the diode 'signal' color!
A large black dot point, I think be the weakness of rdhibitoire pramplis: trs they quickly run its course, with a large blast! Fortunately we can make up as you can gain with the software, but do not openly break bricks. This card sometimes want to buy a share prampli Entire ... The sound is good however, the above, we can not complain (see the price when same).
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
Two months now, rgulirement enough (several hours each weekend)
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The +: The connection quality varies and the rglages on the map itself, ASIO.
The -: The pramplis are just too low!
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, it's Premire my sound card. I fi for purchase user comments (eg on AudioFanzine ^ ^).
- How do you report qualitprix?
Buy abroad, this card I cot 135 all inclusive. For the price I do not believe that there are other sound cards that do both.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
With a budget limit, yes. Otherwise, I Do not hesitate to buy a MODEL above, have pramplis effective, and FireWire: USB is too unstable for a multi-application audio I / O
I want prciser as food by the USB port is sometimes made impossible on desktop PC through a loop of large mass, which puts grsillements around the map, making its use impossible. However, I have encountered this problem on desktop PC. With an adapter, and the loop grsillements disappear.
I recommend this card for those with good OS
(no XP SP3 for example) and microphones that have a significant output level (FYI, my prodipe A1 trs going well). The included software bundle allows you to Get You Started with IMMEDIATE, without investing billions in software pros (at least not right away ...).
Clearly positive overall opinion.
