«  for the price »

Published on 02/11/11 at 10:03
I already had a card 8 IN / 8 OUT EgoSys Wami Rack 24 but aging and jot down some ideas I wanted a small card with external connections facade. I agonized with the Mackie Onyx but my choice was made under the full connectivity of the Tascam and reputation.

UTILIZATION

Insignificant latency in Cubase with my config four cores, 8GB of memory, Windows 7 64bit

GETTING STARTED

Installation Nickel in Nickel. Manuel idem.

OVERALL OPINION

Level and ergonomic construction is well thought out and well done. It may still be more skeptical about the quality level knobs, very light but well under the fingers given the price.
In use is the bomb! Unlike my old card more than once to pass the crash 0db. It reacts as analog, excellent.
The preamps are a little lighter and it is often in the last quarter for the level but frankly it's done.
on the other hand do not forget to retake the phantom power off when you make a guitar or bass line taken from a microphone jack under penalty of breath clearly audible. But it seems logical to me.
For those who want to hear the results:

All basses and guitars are made in direct connection with the exception of crunchy guitars (microphone in front of a bass amp and Fender Rumble 15 Combo Fulltone OCD).
To conclude: A fucking notebook!
