Value For Money : Excellent
I bought the 404 emu for the price it was that or nothing.
Moreover, it was perfect for my personal use:
Record track by track to see record two instruments simultaneously

I use it to record the bass / guitar / mic / synth / groovebox

I have an xp pc with a Serial ATA hard drive.

UTILIZATION

I had no problem installing on my part on two different computers.
Only the default vst Warp had a tendency to crash half the time to start but since I reinstall windows I have no problems.

Configuration is quite PatchMix cotton, I have spent a whole afternoon to capture how to record anything, but hey I'm not very smart and I bought it as it exits the coup there was not all the support that the forum brings Audiofanzine.

Now the PatchMix no secrets for me, I am also extremely useful.
I love being able to record what comes out on slaps, to record MIDI tracks to wav it saves valuable time.

GETTING STARTED

No problem with drivers, they have been updated regularly (currently not too good but everything was already done to improve the capabilities of this sound card I think)

I use Adobe Audition, Reason, Fruity Loops with.

I arrive at a latency of 5ms no problem but I use it to 10ms is enough even for the effects on the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and she rendered great services.

Positive, it does very well even without preamp, plugging a microphone directly and by boosting the sound we get a very acceptable result.
I have no noise-recording my bass (musicman stingray us too) directly into the sound card.

Only thing that disappoints me is the wiring that is not very ergonomic, but good for the price .... ultimately more quickly we forget this.

With the experience I was bought direct! I am fully satisfied with the sound card.
I do not understand people who were disgusted by the sound card, I never had any problems with really important too.

After I've never had the opportunity to test other computer music dedicated sound cards so ...
