This is one hell of a reliable piece of kit. I\'ve owned this for 5 years now and it has never faltered! The sound quality and performance are excellent. providing up to 96khz and 24bit recording rates, for a real professional sound. The driver support M-Audio give is top notch, releasing updates all the time to ever more improve the performance of the product. (not that you every really notice that you need it!). What is also a big bonus is that M-Audio have taken over Digidesign who make Pro Tools. This means the latest versions of Pro Tools are no compatible with M-Audio Hardware! Overall This is a brilliant sound card for the home studio, providing excellent value for money for a high end sound quality!
Advantages: Very good value for money, very reliable Disadvantages: The software and instruction manuals (or lack of) let the side down.
This is an excellent piece of equipment. It has run reliably for several years, it is easy to set up, and it is excellent value for money.
So why not five stars - because of the supporting information and software, or rather lack of it.
The instructions are not very clear for a first time user, and the port names are confusingly named (wav 1/2, wav 3/4) and the same names are used for both the input and output ports, so selecting the right thing ... ...the software interface is nasty. It's a fixed size window so you cannot see all your channels at once without scrolling, and it's hyper-complicated "patchbay/router" still makes no sense to me, although it hasn't stopped me making excellent use (and excellent audio) with this piece of kit.
So hats off to M Audio, the hardware's great, but please pay some attention to your supporting materials.
