M-Audio Audio Delta 1010 and Ableton Delta-Live Bundle - 8in-8out PC Card

Customer Comments:

Feature:
Miss having volume control for power monitors (although not crucial with volume control in software mixer), miss a line in for guitars.

Ease of Use:
I am not all that computer literate, but I got it up and running without too much trouble. I am running PC with XP and Traktion 2, no problems

Support:
Dont know-not needed

Overall:
Very very good card. I have just recorded 3 tracks for a new album in the studio, one track running about 24 tracks (drums in new York parallel) with plugin compressors/eq on vocals, backing , guitars, bass, midi. Using hardware compression on in, plugin compressors inside. Never had any problems with cracking/pops, very tight sound that also has warmth. However, recently when using new mackie plugins with Traktion 2 (their reverb unit) I developed some cracking and pops, but when I took out and went to Traktion 2 reverb plugins-disappeared. Hmm-dont know where the problem is there. When set up right I cannot fault the sound in this-other than if you go real boutique you may get a more analogue type warmth-but I am talking pretty esoteric stuff that my rich mate has which I will never be able to afford (he also has a porsche boxer S).
