I wanted to replace an Audigy ZS notebook by the latter remaining on the pcmcia, and plug the guitar into 6.35 of a module comprising of connectivity alternatives such as noon, the ADAT, S / PDIF.

Use pc.

Intel 915P + ICH6 - PCI Express x16 architecture, 800 MHz system bus.
CPU P4 660 3.6 GHz 2MB Cache Socket LGA775 64EMT - 0.09 micron - 2 MB L2 cache - 800 MHz Bus.
2GB RAM memory.
2 60GB 7200 rpm hard drives in RAID0.
Cubase SX3 (EZDrummer DFH, Halion, ect .. RMX).

Edirol PCR-300.

Guitar + distortion lamp.

UTILIZATION

Installation is quick rev, no problem n occurred.

Really stable, I am surprised not to be even came across a bug or other crappy plan.

Once the famous PatchMix displayed, the interface feels a more "high tech" qu'rgonomique ..

I find that with effects including glissdpos and other select strips are not penss better, but working on a laptop with a mouse pad as there is little to be also.

I am not above 10 for the PatchMix ..

GETTING STARTED

The stability of the driver is successful, no worries.

J therefore uses Cubase SX3, but Beatcraft, SoundForge, for now all is well.

For the latency, I find it nya not need to seek the smallest possible value, I could see that a 2 or 3ms remained stable, then I just pass 7 becaufe it suits me, no perceptible latency.

I think all the effects can actually make a good condition rsultat spend time custom settings via the interface awkward ..
It remains all the same fairly limited in ism.
Better to go through a good prampli but adpanne well ..

OVERALL OPINION

APRS less than one month of use only n I've not yet fully exploit the possibilities it offers, but "alone" I am satisfied with 48KHz as a.

I can plug in a Mini-Disc numrique, is also, it's really handy ..
The sound is good and well Dfine trs.
The "Dock" is nickel, not ecombrant Designed and well.
This is the PCMCIA card I was most convinced qualitprix level.
J possd have a GNX4 that I plugged directly between the Audigy ZS notebook of is sr, question quality effects j silent served with Digitech, but hey I will not compare with the 1616 which does not have this battery of effects Fawn accessory.

With a PCMCIA port, without hsiter I will take the same or maybe a 1616m as' do.
