Best value:
Excellent
* The price (about € 130), quality preamps, the presence of a midi interface, a phantom power (+48 V) input lines and the "quality Tascam" motivated my choice.
* I use in my home studio to record demos small.
* Computer Requirements:
- Motherboard: MSI K9N Neo V2
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS
- Processor: AMD Athlon 64X2 4400 +
- 2.0 GB of RAM (DDRII)
- Hard Drive 320GB
- Windows XP SP3
* With this card I could record his voice, guitar / bass (in transplanted amp), accordion, drums on the XLR and guitar / bass, turntable on the line inputs. I use it more with a keyboard and two HP330 Roland T. Bone SC400.
UTILIZATION
* The installation is done without problems.
* No incompatibilities encountered.
* General configuration very simple.
* The manual could not be more clear and sufficient.
GETTING STARTED
* Drivers very stable.
* No special need updating.
* I use very often Cubase SX3, Reason and Wavelab.
* I have a latency of about 12ms.
* I get to record / play two tracks simultaneously.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it now for about a year and a half and I'm not disappointed. This sound card to an excellent quality / price ratio: it is robust, simple, it reproduces the sound as it enters and it is pretty. However, I have tried some models before it. The only negative is that the headphone output is independent of the line-out (you plug the headphones, it intersects the line out). I urge those who want to start with something "cheap and good." If you have more in, prefer her older sister, the US-144 (about € 150), which has a separate headphone output and an input / output digital.
