Many interesting things two very good preamps, a number of entries to the various formats, short but good.
I use it for home recording and to my models.
I use it with electronic instruments (keyboards) and voice recording guitar

UTILIZATION

Instalation without any problem, no conflict with my current config, the only small snag is the starting configuration is quite complex given the many opportunities offered by the PatchMix must spend a little time and read the manual may be useful.
just the manual is quite well done and all the scans in some detail (of course it is auformat acrobat ...)

GETTING STARTED

For the moment no stability problem, I use with my dedicated pc running XP SP1, so I have not updated the drivers, but everything works fine so I let my config as it is!
on the site, the drivers are updated on a regular basis
I use it with cubase sx2 and no problems
latency can be lowered to 4 ms with no problem
I experimented with sticking an instrument on each entry and use the two preamp em together, and everything works great!!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months, and yes I really like this sound card, converters and preamps are really good, only minor damage to the internal effects managed by the DSP, we can not use a small number and the quality is a notch below most of the plug-in.
I also have a Tascam US 122, but the dynamics and much less good and more if we add to the AC noise due to the USB, it's not really water and wine!
the price / quality ratio is simply excellent choice I would do this without any hesitation
