- What technical specifications motivated your choice?

Ben all my faith has a beginners, I wanted to start m'quiper for my (very) small homestudio, so I needed an external sound card to record my guitar / keyboard and my voice if affinity!

- For what purpose?

Record scratching especially, but also voice and other instrumentals later!

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

HP Pavilion (built in 2006) 1GB of RAM, nothing fancy at all, and works at the hair!

- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...

USB direct to the PC: scratch ----> Presonus ----> USB PC

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?

Oh yes, has even surprised me was a Droulez so smoothly ... it's one of the highlights of this mga Audiobox: you throw the CD driver 30 seconds and the beast is recognized by the PC!

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?

nop, no!

- The configuration gnrale is easy?

Can not be easier

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

The manual is quite cheapos honntement but the gear is installed so that it is almost useless!

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?

tt is

- Are they often put day?

I confess that I simply do not know, but ...

- What software do you use most often?

I use this with Audiobox Fruityloops 5 (Producer Edition), not a short soft very young ... but the creature comes with Cubase LE4! As I work with Fruity I have not tried Cubase same, but other APRS opinion there is no problem of either the ct.

- What you get lag?

0 latency, honest I am not a specialist in but I can say that for the usb absolutely nickel. I play a sound straight from live!

- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...

I am alone in my homestudio therefore it one by one, now bte can record 3 tracks simultaneously ... I think APRS, if a joint venture to record an entire orchestra, c is not the card ... prdilection moreover, Presonus also maps with a lot more I / O that Audiobox, which I think is destined quite use solo or two .

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

about 1 month now

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

the +
- Report qualitprix absolutely stunning
- Install ULTRA SIMPLE (XP) in the widget is ready 30seconds employment
- 0 latency, quality of sound pick-haired
- Exemplary finish, it's nice stuff trs trs
- Ergonomics well thought
- Nice look (even if it will be balance for this kind of stuff, but do not gte)

the -
- Honntement, I see almost no point ngatif this thing ... if chipotte, I would say the lines indicated on the knobs are almost invisible, at an angle so it is sometimes impossible to see what level is the knob for a honntement ... it's 10/10

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

no, it's my very Premire sound card!

- How do you report qualitprix?

dj I said, it kills everything, period. Specially mention the exemplary finish, the quality of touch knobs, the hull is really pretty quick work.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

200%, especially in a homestudio beginners like me. With a ratio like qualitprix and implementation easier, go for it!
