«  Trs good map, super routing »

Published on 12/27/11 at 02:59
I was looking for a card with 4 inputs (ie USB2) that is powered by the USB port.

I use it on a Laptop with a Beta 87 microphone and guitar (jack).

This card possde between 6 (2 line / mic / instrument line + 2 + 2 spdif) and 6 outputs (4 rows and 2 spdif). It possde also a headphone jack and a system that monitors trs well.

It also has a switchable power supply 48v and little dtail, USB particulirement solid (no chance that the cable does dtach inadvertently).

Casing is the rev sound. There are several knobs in between, and a large knob on top, to hand out the rgler. No on / off switch, but it's not really Gnant dpendante since it is the USB port.

A lot of light on top of Casing allowed to have different information (it must be connatre routing possibilities for understanding the rle of certain lights).

I use it to take courses by skype to make small models, personal recordings to work, and to watch DVDs on my string fi in my living room.

UTILIZATION

given as it allows for direct monitoring and that I never use monitoring software, I set the latency at the highest. As a result, drivers are stable trs. There is a small control panel, very minimalist, but all custom settings Submitted significant of which may be needed.

One of my type configurations is to put a microphone between 1, 3 on a guitar and plug the headphone output (ie output 1) between the 3 (with a short mono jack). I run cubase recording entries 1, 2 and 3, then I run skype and I took guitar lessons by correspondence. My voice, my guitar and blah Prof. enregistrssparment are then on my cubase. My voice teacher reoit left and right guitar, so it can rgler him even the balance.

I do not use MIDI.

GETTING STARTED

Installation trivial. No problem.

We must learn a little bit to find out exactly what are the possibilities of routing, but everything is explained in the manual (in print or on the site of Native Instrument).

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month. I have a MOTU 828mk3 dj, but I needed another card, smaller. I bought a Lexicon Alpha Studio I sent back (its not terrible, incompatibility with Skype).

I am happy with this trs trs card. I looked for a moment to find A model that satisfies all my requirements, but worth it.

The Good:
- Soliditbr /> - Quality of sound
- Number of I / O
- Powered by the USB port
- Flexible routing (just as simple to use for basic users, it is important for Madame)
- Nice (which is important for Madame)
- Very small (but quite heavy even when)

Ngatifs points:
- The top knob is convenient but it is so smooth that was strange to the touch. He would have had a little rough. Well, l I chipotte.
- The gain of the microphone is not standard. This is due to the fact that the card is powered by USB. So pramplis do not have a high voltage and high current power supply. That said, there are trs clean and without noise.
- Likewise, the headphone does not rev high volume. It is not with this card that I could go deaf (all fawn, I'm not ;-) drummer).

Be careful, you do not have to pay 299 euros! It is available around 199 euros.
