I was looking for an external card, compltement indpendante my micro (portable or fixed), in short, a modular and portable.
I also wanted something more simple in terms of routing, my EMU-0404.

At PC, I have a MSI K8N No4F, an Athlon 3800 +, 1 Giga of RAM, Windows XP

I intend to link soon with a M-Audio Axion 49.

UTILIZATION

Hair pulling, at the installation ... I put a Journe to get out while I'm not too bad microphone.

I finally found my worries came to o:

THE DRIVERS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WINDOWS XP SP1!

It needs SP2

I, who wanted to keep a minimalist config XP is rat ...

But there s no information on it, M-AUDIO ... Are inflated!

Ds I install the SP2, everything worked nickel ...

I put half of the note ...

GETTING STARTED

I use Sonar, and with the ASIO, I inaudible latency (10ms infrieure)
With Sonar and options for freezing-dfigeage tracks, you can record many tracks with plugins without pulling on the process.
I have not had enough time to pull the string ...
I have the new DS, I'll let you know ...
NB: I store the samples of her on an external drive, connected by USB2. It goes without problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I just acqurir. Once (finally) installed, it is very well ...

I put 8, because of the incompatibility not reported by the manufacturer. (See above)
