Re: High quality soundcard with accessible configuration software.

2009-09-07 Thread Robert Logue
I just found another audio interface that may be what some of us are looking 
for.  It is the Cakewalk V-Studio 100.


The description sounds a lot like the Edirol FA-66 but with inputs and 
outputs plus hardware mixer with motorised faders and daw controls on the 
top.  It even has some built in hardware effects and can be used stand alone 
or with your computer.



You can read a nice review at:
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/08/20/cakewalk-v-studio-100-hands-on-mixer-interface-control-surface-macpc/

I ope to get my hands on one soon to see if it is blind friendly.

Well, Robert, below, points us to other external solutions for mixing and
getting around inaccessible control panel software.  I just wonder how many
folk here have used control surfaces and external mixer combinations
successfully with stereo or multi-track recording software - and these
certainly start to come into their own when doing multi-track work.

One example I like the look of is the Tascam FW-1082 which seems very
attractive.  One site describing it is:

http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/4974-tascam-fw-1082.html

this is a Firewire device, but many computers do have Firewire sockets. 
Mention is made of touch Sensitive controls though, so how practical are
these?

there are a lot of these control surface and combined mixers around and I'd
like to hear from anyone using one with Sonar, Sony Sound forge 9, etc.  We
are talking real money outlay here though.

 Jim.  Are you looking for an audio interface that can track several 
 channels at once?  If so the Edirol FA-66 is a nice audio device.  The 
 software is only used for setting buffers and latency.  Everything else is

 done on the box with real hardware controls and not one menu.

 My only issue with the fa-66 is that it is firewire 400 and I don't know 
 how low the latency can go.  My experience is with a friend's system.  It 
 sure does sound nice for playback.  I don't know how good the mic pre-amps

 are. You get 4 analog inputs and 2 digital channels totalling six 
 simultaneous tracks.  Price is about$400 CDN.

Judy.  FA-66 has two combo xlr quarter in instrument/microphone inputs on 
the front.  They each have their own sensitivity knob so you can dial down 
for line inputs as well.

There is  also a quarter inch headphone jack on front.

There are quarter inch jhacks onback.

There are also rca jacks but don't remember what for.  Don't know what kind 
of digital connections it uses.

Hi Ray, no the Edirol card does nothing like that. But it wasn't a
requirement for me as I use a hardware mixer for those tasks. So if that's
what you need, the Edirol card won't do.

Sounds encouraging,but I wonder, can you adjust everything in the panel of
the UA-1EX including the faders, muting, stereo linking, etc.

I hope to be moving to using four or even eight tracks eventually and wonder
whether the routing options which are or (were) accessible in the Delta
family would be manipulable in the newer interfaces of any of the other
offerings from M-Audio.  I'm not optimistic on this.

Hi

I tried to order one of these cards, and got the following:

The Edirol UA1EX has actually been discontinued and is now replaced with the
Edirol UA1G.

I have the Just a follow up to the previous email regarding your order. The
Edirol UA1EX has actually been UA1G and it works extremely well.

So which ever card you get, both will serve the purpose.
