Value For Money : Excellent
Hello,
fascinated by new possibilities of USB low latency, with its JamVOX Look Mini Vox AC and its inputs and multiple outputs, its price to compete Democratic attracted me of course.
This also allows me to establish a ranking personnel in the USB to multiple possibilities.
It is customary for the main guitars, but very slightly raised, singing through his excellent pre-amp microphone and the software provided extraordinary filled with editable sounds (amplifiers, effects, preamps, compressors, etc. ).
Use is also clear: excellent sound reproduction in this little cube with its mini speakers and what power (work space) in such a small volume, a knowledge of Vox!
What makes an interface with sound quality listening live, with headphones too, lots of pedals and amps available, an XLR microphone input with separate volume of the instrument and a Level Monitoring ..
It also helps to train with the GT technology-kind CD Tascam CD-GT1 MK II, but be careful with commercial cd to the location of the solo is not always 100%. The Jam also comes with two CDs of music tracks to sing and play over 70 'and 80', will be left for a "Smoke on the Water" with its true, please ..
My configurations are based on Intel Core 2 Duo and dual or
quad core, but the computer music desktop PC is not as greedy as the phones, especially in the purchase price. requires SATA 500M ° Mini
or 1T °, a decent graphics card, 512 mini M ° DDR3, I use
ATI HD 48xx or 58xx, is ample and processors 3G ° on average.
I think that AMD can do it too, and now Seven is optimized for computer music, see the tutorials on the Net.
For laptops, as already mentioned, is something else, for less than XP headlock, Intel dual core CPU at least 2G 6 imperatives.
A graphics card with dedicated memory class 1 or 2 (interchangeable)
FireWire, USB external drives of large capacity.
Or a Mac OSX budget issue. 10/10

UTILIZATION

Hyper stable drivers, no updates since redone and I did not try to do as it works.

Software: JamVOX already: a little gem, simple and impressive with its presets to the Vox Tone Lamps editable and configurable. At this level, Cakewalk Sonar Cubase SE, Mixcraft is sufficient.

Eight tracks are enough for me for now.

Latency impressive from the start, it seems to play directly into the small amp and not through the PC!
Digit = less than 5 as advertised. 10/10

GETTING STARTED

No problem.

Everything is automatically installed, user-friendly interface.

No inconsistency to date except for the elimination of some CD track guitar solo as well if one is going after the adjustment can be mitigated, but be careful not to get a destructive effect, anything on the other hand The GT runs on the voice too.

Manuel explicit useless for regulars. 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for nine months.

Yes, I have several models and if I had, I would place in its category number two because it lacks the MIDI for "The Perfect".
I said, there is every possible input and output jack and XLR 6.35, a USB but no MIDI.

1 - A must: the NIO 2 / 4 which is the beginning of a real studio DAW. (Soft and mixer, Monitoring Pro)
2 - JamVOX. (Mini-amp quality hardware, loop, jam, JamVOX, GTK)
3 - Line 6 UX 2. (Two instrument inputs, two mic inputs)
4 - M-Audio Fast Track (near zero latency)
5 - Edirol UA-4FX (effects processor hardware with a tube sound)

Difficult to separate them for that matter, being in home network, I use them as needed, sounds, etc.. I can not do or anti Pub or Pub, but I give my personal opinion, as some will not agree, and attention I also speak a variety inexpensive but playing in the big leagues,
therefore accessible to all (amateurs and beginners, Pro nomadic fans).

Appoints all hardware like JamVOX impressive size / power / Soft and provided restitution and, of course, many other possibilities, its latency, I forgot, ease of use.

The / least: the lack of MIDI and the "gadget" GT because it is very difficult on some CDs to use it but it's not really a minus in my opinion.

The price / quality ratio is excellent, there is not yet competing in this type of interface and so I buy it back in case. 9 / 10 (MIDI)
