Prosebass Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) First thing to note with this unit is you will need a system running either Windows 98, 2000, XP ,a spare pci slot and a 5 1/2" drive bay. It will not work with Vista/7 , there are drivers available but I cannot get them to work with it. Some people have but I haven't if you want to try then don't ask for a refund if you too are unsuccesful. As such it is a great unit if you have a 'legacy' or older system running XP, and is still a very capable performer with a very good input / output panel. One big plus is Audio and Midi in the same unit. It has 24-bit / 96 kHz converters with a signal-to-noise ratio better than 100dB Virtually zero monitoring latency (ASIO) RCA , Coaxial , S/PDIF, MIDI input / outputs Microphone / Instrument in Headphone Out Rear PCI panel has surround sound outputs. PCI board also has internal CD/DVD inputs on it. Comes with original driver / software CD Included software is Wavelab Lite Sound Laundry Cyberlink PowerDVD (6 channel) DMX 6 Fire control panel It is in excellent condition and much better than the majority of sub £100 usb devices.

Ancient Mariner Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Am I correct in thinking this is capable of receiving a single stereo audio channel for recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hi this should answer your question as it depends on the driver types your DAW or recording software is using. [quote] [font="Arial,Helvetica"]Beneath the input channels there's a separate Record Source switch, where you can select either CD 1/2, Line In, Phono/Mic In, Digital In, or their combined Mix signal. To create this mix, each channel has a fader that operates over a 45dB range to set relative recording levels, while each slider 'slot' displays pre-fader levels in the form of a peak-reading meter. Each channel also has monitor Mute and Stereo Link buttons.[/font] [font="Arial,Helvetica"]This is the limit of your I/O choices if you're using the MME drivers, since they appear to applications as a single stereo input and output both labelled 'DMX 6Fire Wave', but you can use the mixer facilities to record any one of the different inputs, or a combined mix of them all. In [i]Sonar[/i] the WDM drivers appear as a one-in/three-out device, again with a single stereo input, but this time with separate access to front, rear, and centre/LFE outputs.[/font] [font="Arial,Helvetica"]However, as I suspected, a far more versatile range of I/O options appeared once I launched [i]Cubase VST[/i] and investigated the ASIO 2.0 drivers. This time you get five discrete stereo sources, namely CD In, Line In, Phono/Mic In, Digital In, and Mix In. There are also four discrete stereo outputs to be found in the VST Master Mixer panel, named Front, Rear, Center and Digital, and you could use these either as intended for surround sound, or as a general-purpose eight-channel output configuration. [/font] [/quote] Additionally it has an RIAA pre-amp on the phono input for a moving magnet pickup which is great for re-mastering vinyl using the Sound Laundry software that is included. You can also directly plug your computers CD / DVD into the PCI board. I considered putting an XP machine together again just to use this unit as it is so versatile and doesn't suffer the earth glitches I get with my USB / Laptop combination. cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
