tourtour « a sound card »
Published on 12/14/10 at 21:17Tired of me struggling with compatibility issues of any kind (drivers, firewire chipsets ...) I opted to buy this sound card that offers good performance.
I work in live performances and I need an equipment performance, portable, reliable, robust.
The Fireface UC appears to meet all my expectations.
I have two config (2 laptops) a small tablet PC and a tx2670ef Toshiba Qosmio X500
UTILIZATION
unlike anything I had heard so far, the installation at home (and on the two configs) to require manual detection and restart.
This little contretemps was not prohibitive since after the restart everything was set so as nickel and does not seem to move (I bought it yesterday, so it's a bit early to judge).
20aine tested on a track with 4 or 5 plugs a little greedy, this does not seem to flinch (besides just being the creation of a new runway where it seemed to me to observe some crackling). I'm not descended minimum latency but at the penultimate step (128 sample I think).
GETTING STARTED
The total mix is a true bonheur.Il is complex and very clear at once. Everything can be routed in all sens.On can monitor the inputs outputs, choose what you want in the headphones ...
It's really very pro equipment.
Too bad there is no manual in French.
I put a little time to understand the functioning of the single notched button that adorns the front but once he got it is very convenient.
Too bad we can not switch the phantom power from the front.
Coming
OVERALL OPINION
to acquire this gear I could not give an opinion too developed.
However, I have long worked with two card presonus (FIREPOD and firebox).
I can not say that these cards are bad but they do not compare with the Fireface uc (not the same money either). The problem was that the two presonus not working on my tablet pc (to the point where I abandoned the idea of making audio) and not working well on my toshiba. What was my satisfaction when I saw that the Fireface works perfectly on both configs!
Finally I mention the sound quality. I did not recognize my fender when I plugged the card. She had an incredible punch! The isolation of these old guitars unsatisfactory I also have a big problem of buzz.
it has completely disappeared with the tablet PC and have only the residual qosmio (the screen is a 18.4 inch I take it must result in a strong induction). I do not understand the reason for this but this improvement is significant.
I also quickly tested a condenser microphone Oktava mk012 I must say that the result is stunning.
In short I do not regret having broken my piggy bank. Finally
