The Dark Judge « Unbeatable for the price, 100% happiness »
Published on 12/18/11 at 03:27In my home studio, I use two microphones, two guitars and a synth ... matre a keyboard and a few different MIDI peripherals. The all clear on ADAM A7X and I work the evening or at night with headphones ATH-M40fs.
For consquent, I had a card that possde enough of pramplifis (2 + 2 + 4 for my synth which outputs spares for its effects) and Allow me also to have a MIDI I / O format 5-din classic.
The AudioBox 1818VSL sduit me for several reasons, indpendamment the fact to know and use the products Presonus long time:
- 8 inputs combo Jack / XLR pramplifies faade in which 2 Mic / Instr. and 6 Mic / line symtriques
- Pramps XMAS (I have always supported and dfendus to be one of the best in the market)
- 8 outputs which are routed in 6 TO
- 8 ADAT
- 1 I / O S-PDIF two-channel (Stereo) which s'avre particulirement INTERESTED for my multi-effects BOSS GT-8
- The potentiomtres notched with graduation and finish all mtal
- About the results particulirement latency performance.
- The choice of USB 2.0, which ensures perfect compatibility with my DIFFERENT computers.
In addition to pure design and careful that we know Presonus, the finish is perfect, the female connectors on the card is really neat, each potentiomtre exudes solidity and Ergonomically, it is not s'emmle not brush ...
Currently on my old configuration (Core 2 Quad Q8200, 4GB RAM, Win XP + Win 7 64-bit, nVidia GTS450, Reason 6.01 and Studio One Pro) as on my laptop (Acer 9920G: 21 ", Dual Core T7200, 2 Gb of RAM, nVidia 8600GS, Win 7 64-Bit, Reason 1.6 + Cubase 5) or my living room PC, small config without intrt (4450th AMD Dual Core, 4Gb RAM, nVidia G9200, Win July 64 -bit) ... the Audiobox installs and syncs perfectly in seconds.
The fact that possder VSL interface allows you to apply corrections for non-EQ SETTING THE ngligeables for my speakers, which allows me to leave the corrections on the monitors ... 0 j'apprcie!
So I look forward to delivering dernires spices for the PC that I go right now (3960x Intel Core i7, 32 Gb RAM, ASUS Deluxe P9X79, Velociraptor 600GB x 2, x 2 Radeon HD6870. ..) and that will allow me to use my EWQL Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs as my last refills without caring one iota of RAM.
UTILIZATION
Regarding the installation of drivers, I have not used the supplied CD I prfre Tlcharger the latest version directly on the site of Presonus, found in a few clicks, without difficulty. The program contains the drivers and software interface, which installs automatically, without difficulty, without a course of ncessiter ingnieur computer and lets you use the IMMEDIATE interface.
Once the Getting Started guide provided (English only ... dtail ngatif disparatre should know in the weeks ahead Arbiter, the distributor Frans de Presonus) we are left with a simple software interface clear and that allows efficient handling.
Ds the opening of my DAW prfr (Reason 6) I select the driver and the Audiobox enabled the number of inputs and outputs that I intend to use. To test, I launched a simultaneous recording of six 8-channel audio equivalents (2 microphones, two guitars, two tracks Stros type Line) and I left the eregistrement last 3h37mn. No loss of sync, no accidental crash, no lag on the ESG.
In reading, for testing, I used a project in Studio One Pro, with 17 audio tracks, VST tracks 9 (6 + 1 EWQL Steinberg The Grand 2 + 1 + 1 EZ Drummer Rewire Reason has six tracks with a Dr. . Octorex and the rest in NN-XT)
- No dcrochage
- Its irrprochable
- Low latency remains
In fact, speaking of latency, I get a latency of 5ms and 6ms in between with these rglages output:
- Buffer 512
- 48Khtz
- "Normal" mode
I do not use 88.2 KHz or 96KHz but I would do a test to see if consumption is proportional or if the card brings more.
GETTING STARTED
To return to the installation of the Audiobox and soft ... it's really plug and play: one branch, you double click the app, you wait a few seconds the LED on the sync interface turns blue ... and it can be used.
Lasts from the start: less than 2 minutes!
However, I have less apprci the manual in English only ... with all the Presonus's delay on this interface, it could well anticipate and provide a manual in French. (Although for me it is not a problem, I think most users who do not hear it in English).
OVERALL OPINION
So here APRS one week of use, I'm really happy with my choice and I do not regret my hsitation with trs good Ultralite MKIII Hybrid ...
My Hoontech DSP24 I will miss it ... sr but ultimately, they have much in common among all audio interfaces I tested rgulirement or I use through my dplacements, 1818VSL this is by far the best choice in Mati sr Home re-Studio gauge if a report in this range QualitPrix budget.
Not only in connection trs trs complte and opportunities, Pramps XMAS always keep promises ... converters are reliable and ergonomics is irrprochable.
Try it ... you will love at first sight.
