Depending on how much cash you wanna spend, I would definetly look at other options.
Personally I haven't used one of these...

**jon connor** · 09-02-2005, 06:59 PM

yea man i no ediral do some really good imatations of equipment like sum roland stuff etc...but ive found they are quality in there perfomance there midi controla`s are exellent.......im really more pushed towards the delta man 10x10 + just wanna have some feed back off guys making techno with this peice of equipment. my hardcore freinds are pretty well established producers and they have been banging on at me about this sound card. so im kean to hear some output on this before i buy from techno producers... ;)

dont buy an m-audio card. I know so many people that have had problems with the delta range of soundcards. I've had my delta firewire 4-10 for four months an it still aint working, no thanks to the wankers at turnkey

**mrbenn** · 09-02-2005, 08:33 PM

**loopdon** · 09-02-2005, 10:16 PM

Have a delta 66 in mine and a 1010lt in the one I just built for a mate and both are completely painless to set up and have worked from the outset...

Though I have no love for the turn key folks either... checky ****ers sold me a DJM500 after having told me the only difference 'tween this and a 600 was the lack of sampler... When in actually fact there are many many differences, like no record output , no fx depth control, no replaceable long throw faders, etc etc. SO I took it back (after 15 days) and told them that I wanted the 600 and heres the extra cash and they refussed to let me do that I had to pay the difference and an obscene restocking fee or be stuck with a mixer they had mis sold me...

the sh*ts. my main problem with them is that they tell you they have something in stock, charge you 10gbp for next day delivery and then it takes ages for something to appear, or they ring you and say "sorry it isnt in stock"

****ers they are. good deals sometimes tho'....

**Craig McW** · 10-02-2005, 10:53 PM

This is the product I'm saving my dollars for. I have the http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1d.html just for hooking my decks etc into the laptop for sampling/recording purposes, and yeah it's a dicky little product, but I've never had an issue with it in terms of sound quality....

Depends on how much you spend really, i have a m-audio delta 1010lt and have had no prob's at all and i am in the studio for long sessions at a time. M-Audio cards are good, and you cant go wrong with the 1010 series, but MOTU828 is what i am upgrading to. ;)

**jon connor** · 11-02-2005, 04:45 PM

sounds decent that scot. so is your delta diffrent to ste wayens etc. you have to excuse me im not to up on these . and also how much was your upgrade ? let us no. ;)
