Published on 04/16/12 at 12:56What characteristics have motivated your choice?
-The good reputation of M-Audio
The audio-midi + with a reputation for low latency.
- The instrument inputs
What instruments or systems (console, preamp, DtDs ...) the use and how you connect? ...
- Now windows7 64 bit (before XP Pro)
- Keyboard noon (an old Roland JV80) + low (directly or via DI) and guitars sound.
- Outputs on BX5a Deluxe M-Audio.
For what purpose?
Config static home studio, models taken from his / mixing
What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / RAM / Disk, ...)?
ASUS P8P67Le/Core i7-2600 (3.4GHz) / 8GB Black 1TB Ripjaws 1600MHz/Caviar
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable?
No on-seven64, correct on XP Pro
What software do you use most often?
- Before cubase5
- Now Protools M-Powered 8.0.5 + a max of rtas
How many tracks do you manage to record / play simultaneously? ...
- In recording two ... (not really short enough) Audio, 16 South
- Read ... found no limits
How often are updated?
- Ahahaha .... we shall call the press when it happens!
What you get lag?
- Cubase 9ms
- Pro tools ... not much.
GETTING STARTED
The installation is done it without problem?
- Since I spent seven + pro tools .... a galley nameless! and yet I am a computer and I do computer music since 1988 (Atari ST, cubase 2.6! any one time) ...
The general configuration is easy?
The conf-in driver, yes, the conf ... to solve problems .. there's oula through hair pulling.
Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
- Concerns have begun on XP with Cubase 5 and never end with protools on seven.
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
-Overall, do not complain.
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it?
- 3/4 years
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
-Some or too expensive (Digidesign 003) or disappointing (EMU0404) ... etc.
What is so special that you love the most, least?
-An external enclosure, it is very practical but this model to large concerns for reliability.
How would you rate the quality / price?
- By the time I bought it, there was no picture, now, go your way.
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
-Oh no!
Now, let me explain:
I started having problems with his shrivelling and entries on XP glutted with cubase ... but not all the time.
I usually managed to find a parade downgradant drivers.
Arrived in seven, that's complicated. With cubase, recording session was inoperable when in administrator user session, it would look ... wrong. According to my logic, it would surely be of the opposite, but nevermind.
I have acquired pro-tools m-powered so you can work with my guitar to it on mac with pro tools.
At first, no problem, sometimes the problem of its saturated entry returned but disappeared after a reboot.
Then it started to affect the reading too, but only with pro tools (and also cubase) until the day when it no longer has stopped ...
I've scoured the forums and found the solution, it is unlikely but true .....
Problem of compatibility with IDE hard drives ..
When I changed my machine, I have kept for archiving my old IDE hard drives .... they were in conflict with IRQ the sound card. Without touching anything in the config software and disconnecting IDE drives ... no problem!
I have a DJ scratcher in my group who bought this card 15 days ago to be able to join us on pro tools ... he screams to death! the sound is crackling reading and saturated recording ... it is unusable!
He has a mac book pro ...
I have to buy hardware that's why I still preserves but as soon as I can, it gives off!
