Published on 08/12/14 at 12:08Giving me the great aveture home studio, it was the first item I bought as such! The idea was to find a way to record my keyboard (Yamaha CLP-1000) in audio AND midi for less. After testing the USB interface very average afternoon Prodipe I resigned myself to buying the US 600 that I had recommended.
I also needed a phantom power supply to power my condenser microphone (Rode M2)
It has 4 inputs Jack / XLR equipped with volume knobs on the front and two red LEDs, one that lights up if it there's saturation. Level output, and RCA digital output (I confess that I am never be used)
Treatment of info is 96 kHz, although laymen know that it is mostly a trade name and the 48, or even 44.1 enough ...
I use Windows 8 64-bit but it works great with seven 32 bits.
UTILIZATION
No worries soft, installation is alone, the little app comes with redirection to configure I / O but I have never needed to configure what was originally planned .I have tested first with Cubase 5 or she was recognized instantly.
Level latency is imperceptible as all current external sound cards worthy of the name in audio and midi.
I use it to record my microphone, occasionally a guitar. She is doing very well and is very easy to adjust the sound level by standing at the edge of clipping.
I use only the jack for the audio return, waiting to really test it on the monitor speakers!
GETTING STARTED
In 4 years of use I once met a concern in terms of food. Yet I have taken all the necessary precautions when I switched 48V (not moving too much, first turn off the 48V and then the rest ..).
The concern was palpable when I touched the headphone jack. I felt small electric tickling was more intense but remained very low, so no particular danger!
Still, I think if you go up the range from Tascam, this problem disappears.
So bad score for this, but if that is the problem is not reproducible on another and you will not have to worry!
OVERALL OPINION
This sound card is great, except for the small problem mentioned. It is ideal for a beginner and it is very affordable!
Level design I find quite elegant knobs have a nice feel, a little more room to manipulate might have been preferable. It is very light, I take with me to travel and takes up very little space!
In short I recommend it, but not in a pro studio or she is far beyond in terms of features of its competitors
