Apprhender easy (even for beginners), really cheap (watch prices fluctuate according to sellers normment sites), and it's Novation !!!
Manufacturing & materials are of good quality (for the price) in relation to other cards to rack formats here point knob wobbly, wobbly of connectors, the unnecessary step of widgets eye ... The nio 2 | 4 remains sober and robust (There even when some LED VU meters for in-out, but they remain apprciables).
My config (both XP DDI):
Notebook: TOSHIBA / Intel Dual-Core T3400 / 3GB DDR2 / 250GB HDD
Fixed PC: Intel Dual-Core E8400 + Zalman CNPS9700 / CM Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R / DD 2X Samsung SpinPoint T series 250GB / 3GB DDR2 Corsair DDR800 / Fortron Blue Storm 500W
USE
Be careful when installing the driver, in principle I will always look for the latest issue driver on the manufacturer website rather than taking the available driver on the CD. Alas during my first use my master keyboard n'tait not recognized, a priori setup available on the website does not Novation Midi integrates the drivers so I had to load the CD driver to correct shooting.
Apart from this small problem, the set turns immediately after instal drivers, the manual is clear (manual pdf format).
IMPLEMENTATION
This card is perfect for mobile use with a laptop and integrates perfectly within a lil studio. I use it in both cases and it largely takes the road !!!
I use Sonar 8 PE & Ableton Live 7 and nio 2 | 4 runs without any problem, at the moment I have not had any stall or artifacts, yet I have some projects with multiple tracks & effects VST plug & Concurrent ... I use two micro-electrostatic (I connect the second microphone via an external 48v power supply jack in between), and several instruments (electric & scratches sche , violin, clarinet, drums ...) and a master keyboard to the south.
The built-multi-effect is rather well done, but in the same area known softwares offer more presets and sharper modlisations ... The pramps are clear and relatively neutral (the 48v strongly apprciable but available on only one between), the monitoring system is well done and the two headphone outputs with hardware mix indpendants are more undeniable !!!
Level latency no concern that remains inaudible (even though it still loaded but must have a good config) without touching the buffers ...
NOTICE GLOBAL
Overall nio 2 | 4 is a range of perfect card for those who do not want to deceive the eye and gas plant. It possde arguments that blushing other competing (often more expensive) in the same range !!!
I do it again without hsiter choice.
The packaging is not bad to know: Bass Station, Guru, Arturia Analog Factory and Ableton Live Lite 6.
