She looked simple and attractive, the cables provided a 60ainte euros, usb ... In short fnac assured me it was a good product ...

Some regrets, however, or is this remote?
What is a set of car?
Poueqoi obtique to a cable and not SPDIF cable?

Haaa ... The logic of engineering is often not in agreement with the customer ...

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem, the computer does not ram, so good ...

Flashback ...

Having a holy horror of PC. But having to do with when we make music, I wanted to get a basic but reliable sound card to sample the sounds from my PC in my MPC. Grossomerdo an old sample of Louis Armstrong remastered, downloaded in MP3, I start playing in my computer and I record with my MPC (Music Production Center). It&#39;s not complicated.

The seller Fnac Poitiers (ha thin I say the name) assured me that there was no problem, take me away this card that damned noise PC (Pitzzzzzzzzzz). In addition, a miracle, I could even record my vinyl records or my voice, remastered and sampler ... Anyway ... Happiness in USB.

1st Test: Old School SpritNoirr as is, I plug the output jack / RCA on my mixer and I&#39;m gonna cum ...
HAAAAAAAA
PITTTTTTZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ A GIANT!! And back in very small sound. My sound card was not doing much before.

I do not demotivating!

2nd test, after buying a SPIF cable (not supplied grrrrrr !!!!) I plug the OUT to the card and the In the MPC (I am not con either). Haaaa I listen the sound is good.
I record nickel. I replay in my MPC and there ... The sound is slowing as we read in 45tours 33tours.

I try to understand to reinstall, uninstall capture, read, look on the internet ... Nothing ... I&#39;m cursed.

Returning to the fnac of course this is not the fault of the product but mine. Haaa the customer is king when he bought ... Not after.

So I put 2 / 20 because ... It was installed on my PC without problem ...

GETTING STARTED

But then why do I need it?
Nothing.

Since it does not work, the effects / equalizer and all that stuff is ugly and fat zero.
As the reader of the sounds are difficult to handle and the interface is not clear.
Since the updates are useless.
Because when I record there is noise.
Because when I hear there is Fuzzz.
Because when I sample the signal is so bad that it slows down.

In short she told me happily busy ...

_ Given that there is a car game provides.

Without laughing was just to sample at the base. Do the math, the card 60 euros, 8 euros the SPDIF cable, 2x 4euros parking for the city center near fnac paid 76euros for this white shit!

I had to buy a battery and CDRW sampler with ease.
A Thumbs Ladies Gentlemen!

OVERALL OPINION

Since June2007 I hate her.
I hate it as an official of the Post Home, incompetent, which is useless, which pronnent waiting to efficiency and is doing everything except what is asked.

In short it is zero and the only good thing to tell people not to buy it.
PS: By the way ... Since June 2007 I never returned to the Fnac de Poitiers ...

;-)
Musically ...
SpritNoirr.
