For an audio interface, how does this thing compare to firewire based audio interfaces? My laptop only does USB 2.0, it doesn't have firewire, so do you think it's alright to get this thing? Or should I trade out this laptop for one that's got firewire? Latency.. sound quality.. etc. I'm really just trying to get audio in from the mixer. |

It's not as cool. |

latency issues are worse? sound qualit is worse? |
||||||||
|

i doubt there's any difference |

It shouldn't matter too much. Although I wouldn't buy m-audio. You never know, your DA converters could die after three months or something. |

m-audio are a bit crap |

I think the Audiophile USB is only USB 1.0 - most all USB audio interfaces are - so it probably won't do 96 kHz in/out at the same time. I bought a little M-audio transit to use with my laptop. It's lots cheaper, it's bus powered so you don't need yet another power adapter, works fine at 44/48 kHz in and out. Latency is not amazing - 512 buffers is the best it can do - but it's a reasonable option for running line level audio in. Works well with the asio4all drivers too. |

all i want to know is why my midi controller isn't working. IT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because of a problem? |
||||||||
|
|

i uninstalled the drivers, plugged it back in, it detects it, installs the drivers automatically, i go into a program that uses a midi controller (tried 2) and when i press the keys etc, nothing happens! zilch! grrrrr, i hate computers sometimes |

its better to invest some money into those fancy PCMCIA thingies, you an avoid latency issues with that. one card goes into laptop slot, then your PCI sound card goes into the one before and voila ! u can try docking station as well, theyre cheap and you can stick any PCI card into it. of course that will turn your laptop off mobile use, but u wouldnt record during running anyway. its deffos better than any USB or firewire which will give you mainly latency problems. just try to run cubase or similar thing, you'll seee what im talking about. no difference between firewire & USB although the second one is generally easier in use. and no, it doesnt have an impact on sound quality, at least not the one u could hear. + watch out as some USB interfaces have problems with applying ASIO or KX drivers to them - guys at KX specified some USB interfaces that WONT have drivers written for them, so check that first. |

check the software and if the controller sends the signal on the same channel that software recieves it. it has to be the same, eg 01-01. i would say thats the problem. |
||||||||

|

yeah that doesn't work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what software is it ? |

i've tried reason, floops and another one which came with it. this did only start happening though since i installed a different motherboard bios. i'm too scared to downgrade it tho |
||||||||

bios has nothing to do with it. as far as i know, reason allows u to set up the channels and thats it reallu. if u connect it through USB ( and i assume u do) make sure its USB 2.0. 1.1 would e enough to reckognize it, but not enought to transmit it. so one to go. secondly - if u tried all the steps from all manuals etc - seems like theres a problem between a PC and machine. i suggest using any other controller on the same settings, or, taking your midi to friend with different PC. on to pof that - what controller is it ? unless, theres something in BIOS about audio outs and sound in general, but i have no clue on that,never sticked my nose that deep... |

thanks for the tips. i'll do a bit of trial and error |

USB 2.0 Is meant to be quicker than firewire, but its just never beaten it in benchmark tests. I doubt you'll see a difference though. I may be wrong. |
