- What technical specifications motivated your choice?

Simplicity of the machine, USB (too many problems with the firewire on my config) the production copy (not a lot of plastic on the sound card) and preamps!

- For what purpose?

A little while in fact, used for models j'm'en my songs, I re-record over the instruments has the loudest in the studio ... but I'm more qu'tonn the quality of the preamp up!

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

Oula ... we will try to put it simply, Dell Vostro 1000 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, USB sound card (the presonus so hehe)!

I still had some problems of stability, and still is, I sometimes need to reboot the card since there is almost no sound ... and sometimes it rchantillone alone I do not yet understand the problem, but apparently it's done ... By listening to one of the pieces of my group that j'me'm saying is not possible the singer does not have a voice as sharp hehe!

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

So j'm'en used for my acoustic and electric, has noted that we can connect directly into the preamp scratch card ... It's very convenient, and sounds Fonky Fonky's great! if I'm online, I use no other preamp!

9 / 10 just because of my ptits problem of stability, but once it's stable ca not crash!

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?

Yes ...

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?

Not until the ...

- The configuration gnrale is easy?

It can not be simpler ... I have also not found or solve my latency, the kind of small control panel to settle the buffer etc ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Ben is not a simple y'en ...

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?

Not really no, I install ASIO4ALL as I read on a forum Rican relative to the sound card, and now it's going ...

- What software do you use most often?

Live 6 LE

- What you get lag?

I do not want to say bullshit but for now I'm in 512 I think, I did not test, but already I have a latency almost inaudible ... so good

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

More worth waiting for further notices to answer this question, I never more than four or five tracks now ... and all is well!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

Just days

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

The preamps!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Try this kind of machines is downright difficult, but before that I had a Mobile Pre USB M Audio, Mackie Onyx Satellite which one did not work at all ... but then a brothel .... and presonus!

- How do you report qualitprix?

Sincerely card 24/48 with as good preamp, and also well built, the concurrency may be in the habit!

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

Yes!

I bought it on Playback.fr, book within 24 hours ... for 150! I'm glad I finally short a good sound card with good preamps!

Here's a lil example recorded in a hurry with my acoustic first is a micro T.bone RM700, and then a T.bone SC450!

I did not add any EQ, just a little reverb to give the scale, it's one shot, so please excuse the few small loaves and the bad words: D hehe

In any case I can only recommend this sound card, it works well, almost no lag, good preamps, I briefly wondered no more!

Edict of 29/07/08:

After a few days of use, it sounds good, the preamp is hell, I have some concerns parcontre stability, ca can be just my laptop, I dunno, I must not be truly call for this kind of thing, but I have to reboot the card each demmarage the pc, and every wake, if I do not have a sound, and from time to time if I reboot while playing an mp3 and or video, it rchantillone CARREMENT earlier, so pieces s'accellere and become more acute ... tiring, but good when it works, it works!

Ptite saturation unpleasant as when I use my vst.
