Value For Money : Excellent
Super sound card.
A MIDI input, one MIDI output,
Two output Left / Right Monitor
Two XLR Jack
SPDIF connection

This card is great for the professional. Person, I urtilise for recording enthusiasts and it suits me perfectly.
I have not noticed any latency.
I am running Mac OS X Tiger on a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz PowerPC proc, 512 MB RAM
A small regret, however, she did not soties RCA or XLR. Too bad but ...

UTILIZATION

No problem with the installation, no compatibility, configuration gérérale is very easy, the manual is in English! But I do not need.

GETTING STARTED

No need for drivers to mac so no problem. However, I instllé other bundled software, no problem
Not made to put in long days, no problem.
An all very small latency. I do not hear it, I said because it is marked in cubase.
With two pre-amplified inputs is two records together.
SPDIF with it depends on the number of sound cards connected

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost one and a half years and I am very happy.
Amplified on the inputs, there is one position instrument, hight pass, low pass, and a phantom power supply. A must.
It besion to a power supply electric.
I tried a creative before this one, I prefer the mackie.
Meters
Good value
A little big for the laptop anyway.
Ability to mix between USB and Direct.
Very happy.
With experience, I would take maybe a smaller map.
