The WDM / MME driver supports only the first 2 input - output All inputs are combo XLR-Jack on the back Can operate as a standalone 8-channel preamp, among other
It's a shame because the 104 dB signal - noise, this was really tempting, especially at this price point )) I'll have to separate myself from this card, one way or another. Reliability depends heavily on the quality of the USB bus to which it is connected. But now, buying a sound card 8 channel was more urgent to me that preamp 8 channels. Internal effects processor: a bit basic reverbs are very average. For this point, I'm rather surprised by the good sound quality. And I'm left with a device on the arms that I could possibly use as a preamp 8 channel microphone.
I ended up injured because this subtlety was not mentioned anywhere in the instructions that came with that I consulted in PDF on the internet before buying.
I also said that perhaps no MME / WDM driver is supplied with drivers (that only come with ASIO drivers) and, therefore, in MME / WDM, the USB driver generic audio Windows XP that is used but no, that's not it either, because otherwise he would wear, if I remember correctly, the "USB Audio" or "USB Device" instead of the name of map. I even managed to drive the DSPs internal sound card from there.
But no, it's not because the mixer comes with software drivers to work, it under XP. So here I am "fired bullets." At first I did not believe it, I thought it was a joke! I thought it was the drivers that are incompatible with Windows XP, need a newer version of Windows.
And again, routing audio to and from the computer does not pass through the internal DSP sound card! Therefore impossible (MME / WDM so) to assign incoming sound effects or 8 inputs to route audio channels 1 and 2 of the USB bus. 8 inputs - outputs are supported by the ASIO driver only. In fact, I tried it on a Windows XP SP2 PC and another PC but Windows 8 64-bit and you will not believe your ears: MME / WDM sound card that comes with not only support the first 2 input - output card. until I have my hands this sound card M-Audio FastTrack Ultra 8R. So, I still use version 1.5 with support for MME / WDM and all goes well. And I'm not talking about that later versions are certainly more severe. And secondly, version 1.5 weighs less than 40 MB, which is really a featherweight compared to around 240 MB version 3.0 - and it has not so many new functions. And the kicker is that in version 3 at least, it is not possible to assign individual track such as entry and exit as ASIO, you can make these settings globally on all software. What happens is that since this version, Audition has abandoned support for MME / WDM benefit well on ASIO. It means that I can assign, for example, track 1 on the input - output 1 sound card, track 2 on the input and output 3 5, etc., Which has been possible since version 3 (newer versions not tested). First, it supports MME / WDM individually on each track in multitrack. Yes, I know, this software is now in version CS6 (as of January 2013) but there are two main reasons why I am hooked to this old version. Yes, because I always use Adobe Audition v1.5 invincible as multitrack audio software. This unit does not meet my specifications time sound card.
