All user reviews of 4/5 for the Terratec Producer Phase 26 Usb

I chose this card because I wanted a card with a USB midi interface and a microphone jack. Its price has motivated me, despite all that I could read on his failures.
Its main purpose is the sound and MIDI capture.
I have a small machine, laptop with 1GB of RAM and 384 MB Disk 10 GB USB drive + 1 80 GB XP Pro turning sour.

UTILIZATION

With all that I have read on various forums, I installed my card so fixed on 24/48 and ASIO not move. I also downloaded the latest drivers and latest bios flash at TerraTec. Results, not crash to report.
The French manual is available on the TerraTec but is not very clear.
Many repetitive warnings. But the map was finally operational quickly.

GETTING STARTED

I have not had any stability problem with Anvil Studio and Fruity Loops 6.
Updates are rare but I think I could get the latest and correct version.
I read other users discomfited me do not actually encouraged to use the CD that came in the package.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months and am quite happy.

I was looking for a plug which connect both the audio and the south. Taking micro gnre trs little breath and the headphone volume to remain independent. I connect an external squenceur restate my programming in Cubase. Another time, I connect a MIDI keyboard.
config:
- ECS motherboard L7VMM
- AMD Athlon XP 1673 MHZ
- 512 MB Ram
- 80 GB Hard
- Systm W200 Pro / WXP Pro SP2

UTILIZATION

In the beginners I actually had trouble installing it because the manual is not clear trs (it is in English). The screen instructions are clear, however, trs. But it is by feeling that there is need to disable the asio ds you get out of Cubase to do something else (if you want to have sound).

GETTING STARTED

Stability of drivers. However, it should dplorer the failure to date drivers. Cubase VST XP SP2, some tracks are vst Reduces automatically silence APRS several passages, leaving only play audio tracks. This is indeed a problem as trs must restart Cubase.

I mostly use Cubase VST, Studio Plus 9.3, Wave Lab 4, Adobe Premire Pro.

With Cubase I get a latency of 11 MS and I get a record simultanment
forty track (no effects) audio.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2004. What I like most is its mobility. I may as well use it on a fixed on a laptop. Vritable only concern, the lack of updating drivers for XP SP2.

Before buying it, I did not test other models. The report qualitprix is ​​excellent and I think with the exprience, I Do not hesitate to repeat the choice.

Characteristics have motivated my choice and is sufficient to exit the soundtrack of my PC and difusa. Use music, DVD playback and troubleshooting DJ CD players for some directories.
For the technique is cited.
My old Dell laptop a PC 2003 (40GB of HDD is full!), I read my music tracks to WAV or MP3 DD. Programs most commonly used Mixvibes (an output) or WMP.
I am not 10 because he will certainly be better, but for such use that the merits.

UTILIZATION

Installing a bit laborious but stable after a few redémarages, no conflict but hey my use is limited. Manuel? Okay, in the textbooks they sometimes forget that some have never used this kind of material ....
My attempts to save (concert, vinyl) have not convinced me I do not know much (low recording level, its not terrible narrow)

GETTING STARTED

Too many technical ... I am not so expert. I trust my ear and it sounds a lot better at least what most cheap cards (the pc power supply not connected to the earth if I had any noise at first). It's quiet, no wind or noise, even classical music goes well on systems of listening quality (among other tested systems and table RANE RCF PRO or JBL)

OVERALL OPINION

Trimbalée around with my PC last three four years, never any problems. All models with prices approaching I listened and compared, I was not listening at all Strongly believes that output. Unbeatable value for money (less than 100 Euros in TH ... I think ...)
With experience, I would buy a step up in line for further use in recording or broadcasting. I do not intend to part with it for now or tomorrow ... First purchase there are certainly better now.
