UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?
yes very ...

not yet needed the update. there is a 3.4 when I drafted my opinion

1-2 Ms general, 3ms in / out

How many tracks you get record / playback simultaneously?
so much! really!

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?
no

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
I had a Texas Instrument Firewire card. so no problem! I'm wary against by VIA, although Focusrite appoints as being compliant.

The general configuration is easy?
then it is less positive. I find the mix and the introduction of driver settings a bit complicated. map should be delivered with a preset stereo DAW, with all the IN / OUT routed directly.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
it is.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
4 months
What thing do you like most and least?
as:
the in out

coloring preamps

Cons:
only two XLR facade,
the 48 volt groups of 4
the drivers, and especially its CPU consumption when open (25% on my I5!)

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes. the audiobox has an audio 1814 M, via the HD ... PT

How would you rate the quality / price?
perfect!

With experience, you do again this choice?
it is always the same: do if I had more money I premetrais not bigger? at least in this price range, I would do this choice (though I hesitate with Mackie thunderbird)
