«  Not bad, but low end. »

Being my first sound card, I was not looking for something sophisticated and expensive. The audiobox on this point is unbeatable: 130 € for serious use.

Two XLR, IN / OUT noon for keyboards, monitoring output and output jack
Connecting USB, 5 knobs (1 mixer, 1 gain for each XLR, 2 volume)
Small, does not heat ...

I record my bass above and sometimes voice via microphone and other instrumentals, and its laid is very loyal and very good.
However, I also often saves my synth via the sound card, and the sound is compressed, dumoins quality is reduced and it feels. When you connect the headphones on the quality is extremely good synth, but once you reccord and listen to the sound on the DAW, we see a huge drop in quality. Well, it seems to be only audible to synths for now ...

UTILIZATION

I had a problem on a project, probably linked to the card, with many audio tracks map seems to have trouble keeping up .... Problem annoying but observed only once (although on a project with a score track only).

Also, when the computer is pretty loaded, the card can be difficult to follow (that's "cutting" regularly), however with a bit of space in its memory the problem is neutralized.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation, USB connection, install the Driver and it is usable.
Simplicity is the watchword for this card

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, this is my first sound card.
I do not feel the urge to get one more expensive, however, I recognize the lowcost nature of the card, even if in the end you can record everything with, I observed a few blackheads.
