chose me at the USB due to the death of firewire and insurance, in light of the seriousness of the mark, having something of reliable and stable.
I had an Alesis io2 so look good in front ...
I use a macbook pro that has 3 years, a 2.4 GB intel core duo two, a MD421 and a B1 and I discover the true potential of these two microphones as well as my G2 KRK 5.

UTILIZATION

drivers are stable even if with logic, the CPU resources are consumed faster (I have the minimum required config for the card) and I had to learn that we need to send the tracks on different buses to divide history the effort of each heart.
AC once assimilated, how happy!

I get to play 30 tracks with 3-4 effects without problèmes.Je can not talk about input latency accurately but I must say that I can put effects and recording without noticeable latency even on a big project as previously mentioned


GETTING STARTED

I have not had to worry especially if it is that we must not rush during installation:
if you do not read the leaflet, or at least the beginning, we pass beside the fact that we must configure the card between mac and pc ... after that it ride
I tried it with my interface osx 10.5 and Win XP Pro and Nuendo and nickel is

English manual but comfortable grip to start with a minimum of savvy and dig it after his English:)

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using a mois.j adore its integrated preamps (I had an Alesis io2 DMP3 + m-audio) that have power without blowing side to me.
I do not spend my time fixing my sound sources with eq or add gain and has therefore to optimize the blast but my mix which is a breeze thanks to the card and its preamp and output monitoring that low or high volume remains faithful.
Now, I spend 4 times less time to record, mix ... thank you rm.

Quality is paid, I went plaisir.je discovers the Middle Ages to 21th century

I did not really step back and am not able to compare with something like that but when I compose, I am concerned over the technical aspect and do not feel anxious about my mixes rehearing other than my castle ...
In conclusion: expensive but damn good. I only recorded 3 tracks simultaneously, but it works nickel.
alesis io2 is dead, long live rm uc!
