windigo « Excellent USB interface PreSonus style! »
Published on 10/25/10 at 10:43Hello,
Having read a lot of tests and reviews on this type of hardware:
the preamps, the case in metal until all potentiomtres, the new software provided and not any but : multimedia Artist Studio One, much better than the former Cubase LE.
Instruments: Guitars, keyboards.
Microphones: dynamic (D330BT AKG, Shure 58) and condenser (AKG 220, MXL990), and finally need preamps, those of the Audio Box are excellent, the first that I meet of this quality, with the same price range as the Edirol UA-4FX and their big sisters ..
Already adapted in direct / mobile and on portable Mac (to save workspace).
UTILIZATION
Drivers, very well known, not easier, there are updates but I have not used them, because everything functions well.
The Software: of course Studio One Artist, a thundering surprise, and Mixcraft + Samplitude.
The tracks in pairs, for now read 12/14.
Latency measurement without choice: 4ms.
GETTING STARTED
Installation, cable and CD drivers, and for Windows desktop PC operating systems XP and Seven ..
Hardware configuration very easy: gain, mixing, monitoring, good.
No incompatibility issue to date, that is why I waited a bit before posting a review.
The manual is useless and fun because you can still find the explanation for using Cubase LE not provided for a while now.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 15 days and is very useful to me.
Other models? Yes alot.; =)
Pros: the preamp, the look, the impression of solidity compared to its small size,
all in metal, not an ounce of plastic = no parasite invasion, the ease of use ..
Cons: where?
Whereas if you consider the price of the Bundle and the quality of Audiobox, as of today, 149 Euros new, this is by far the best offer you can not miss.
To this day I would repeat without hesitating my choice, no need to invest anymore in
FireWire modles, USB 2 is an achievement.
