I bought this interface in the context of DMOS for the two groups which I belong. Not to make an album, but when same-something srieux ...
Before buying, I read tests (Recording ,...), Audiofanzine notices, etc ...
I was looking for the maximum of the lowest prices without sacrificing quality.
I'm working on a Fujitsu laptop Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz, 512 MB DDR and a 40 gigabyte hard drive. I have a Peavey mixing desk, monitors, Samson Resolv 80A, a BLUETUBE DP Alesis compressor, a condenser microphone Samson (the weak link in my string) and I work only with symtriques Cables (I did not dj gear high-end, do not add much noise supplmentaires, right?).

UTILIZATION

The OMGA ncessite do not really have a manual, everything is intuitive and is done in hardware.

I had no problem with installation of the interface itself, only with Windows lcher who did not want my original chipset.

For the rest, turn buttons, and presto!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable, but for now never given day since I (one year).
I use Cubase SX2, and by making some compromises (the button OMGA possde a mix direct signal / signal line for monitoring, I put it on 1 / 3 line 2 / 3 non line), I can play guitar live with Amplitube, provided that no more than 3 or 4 tracks Prior). For an interface with no DSP, it seems honnte .

I record 4-track analog simultanment without ever having had any problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. 3 DMOS and I did a live recording.

The converters are of excellent quality and super pramplis DBX. I only records "that" in 48 Khz, and yet I have a sound that is that some of my friends who are 96 kHz (taking into account that the comparison is done on the hardware similar to mine, in acoustically untreated spices, etc etc etc ...)

The inserts allow me to use an external compressor, the power supply fantme is impeccable, the Casing respectable.

I have only one problem: for about a month, I have a big spitting in the right speaker when I turn the volume knob gnral. Gnant ...

My goal is to pass a Motu, or RME, but if I had to buy an easy to use and powerful for € 300, I would do without this choice hsiter ...
