Excellent
APRS dlicate a long study of diffrent solutions proposed for Firewire audio cards, I DCID to invest in the famous (for many it ractions ad latches) FA202 FW.
Possdant dj console, the limited number did not seem like a obstbacle for practicing home studio alone, amen I never recorded more than two lanes simultanment. However, in terms of volume, you must know that the signal must be adjusted upstream, the card does not possdant potentiomtres or software to any rglage whatsoever. The number of outputs, they also limit two does that cost in Stereo.
The frquences of chantillonnnage and RESOLUTION are editable from the software.
The card is connected (with a cable that I have to buy the one that came both trs trs short) a PC dual processor Athlon 64 1 GB ram XP SP2 that feeds also.
The software is used computer music cubase SX 2.
The inputs and outputs are connected to the card a small console that allows me a zero latency monitoring and any connections faster / unplug.
The use of prampli for voices and instruments are used to connect through the console (by 6 mm mono jack) inputs prvues line level, the outputs as directed to a headphone amp and monitoring speakers (always through the console: remember that you can not directly change the levels of input and output).
Assuming that the card can hardly be used without console (a mixer small enough), the technical specifications (24-bit, 96 kHz) can not sacrifice too much quality for the benefit budget.
UTILIZATION
Possdant the clbre Hoontech rpute for installation incredibly complex, I must first have this part not without a strong apprhension. The connection of the card performed as indicated prcdemment FBRIL the one hand and trembling as I slid the cake with the book card in the reader.
And surprise! It nothing happens. Oh the reader has turned a few moments but nothing too glaring. Oh yes, the lights are on the card.
I wait a few seconds. But still nothing. I sit comfortably in my chair in prt dcoudre rcalcitrante with the card. I turn on the console and put the headphones in their ears. Mouse hand I run the control panel and the big surprise in the headphone, I hear clearly the trs mouse clicks!
I run Cubase without further delay, he asked me to wait because the configuration has changed and actually DTECT problem without the CFA. I still mouth be: transparent installation does not drive 30 seconds! It is all too transparent even got me, I'll be a little more prfr have my word, but when same: hat!
GETTING STARTED
Without waiting longer, I go into the Fast Fashion Cubase a small piece of BMD, just to see. I record the flies, I rewind, j'coute, erase (99% of my shots are not worth a better deal
). Map No "is never in default, the latency more than adequate. Be careful though not to have a volume of too strong. It's really enjoyable to work trs also calmly.
Note also that the blue LEDs and red faade of the card can get hot and ambient lighting rsolument futuristic look the best for the long night sessions.
OVERALL OPINION
After a few weeks of use, still nothing wrong. SAVINGS made thanks to the purchase of this card trs good market allowed me to invest in better quality pramplis what does that more bnfique 'acahat card CHRE more with less good music hardware. Remember that the quality of a global string processing is always worse than the infrieure links (in this case me).
