Eladan « Good Sound Card ^ ^ »
Published on 07/14/11 at 05:56I got this sound card on his report of I / price
With 8 mic preamps, 2 line entered / instruments entered plus 4 lines, one SPDIF input (Chinch) and MIDI I can record just about anything with.
Output side, the card includes two stereo outputs (or 4 mono), the first two channels are also monitor and headphones (with independent volume control).
This card can also work in stand-alone.
I uttilise a little while (microphones, electric guitar, pedal released in SPDIF, ext ...) on a laptop lambda (Win, dual-core proc, 4GB RAM)
UTILIZATION
The drivers are extremely stable, the only problem when the PC and "forgets" that it is connected to the card ... in this case simply power cycle the card (3sec) and everything working again properly. No problems during recording.
I'm already gone up to 14 track simultaneous recording with no problem.
No problem either for playing a stereo and two mono tracks during or next recording.
I use Cubase 5 with generally but also serves as a focal point of all my audio system that is as much for everything that is read on TV that the PC goes into stand-alone on the map.
Latency is low or nonexistent (I know but I can not really play with an amp simulator without any gene).
GETTING STARTED
Trouble free installation
Easy configuration
Incompatibility with linux (well, it's not like Linux OS was a well-known in the audio but it's frustrating to not be able to have my card and then when I boot my monitorings Linux ....)
Manual clear and sufficient.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about six months.
I have not tried other "real" sound cards before, except in the Alesis Multimix Firewire.
What I like most is the versatility of this card that also adapts well to use lambda for models in something that Home Studio recording a full band.
The two faults that I find are the lack of volume with respect to stand-alone (I'm almost forced to push the master thoroughly to have a volume equivalent to a quarter master for what comes out of the pc) and the lack Heat microphone preamps.
The price / quality ratio is very good.
With experience and the same budget, I would remake that choice. Roros with some more, I would take a superior model of another brand to try to overcome this lack of warmth of the meadows-amps.
