"For a small band (4 instruments or so), Delta 44 is your perfect choice for seting your home recording studio with VERY little m"

Feature:
The product icludes enough accessories for initial set-up. External instrument cables to be procured separately. The manual is pretty explicit, although I had to create my own LOGICAL diagram to determine the connectivity between the Delta 44 mixer, Cakewalk recording software and Reason.

Quality:
great sound for the money robust product the box(input/output controller)offers elegant instrument connectivity avoids cables hanging

Value:
i am not familiar with other products but I would most likely preffere it over the Prodigy Pro (similar features) audio card.

Desirability:
although that would be overdesigned, a 19" rack mounting type design with some control leds on the front pannels and gain knobs would make the product more appealing.

Sound:
great sound, dynamic is excellent, I did microfon recording without a special pre-amp, the sound is excellent !!!, no noise, clipping/chopping. And this was with a PII 266MH machine...The inputs for keyboard does not require an additional preamp, however, if a guitar is used, a pre-amp may be desired. You can also get extra gain by going into the mixer software and set the input to -10dB rather than the +4dB default. There is no MIDI in-out but that can be easily achieved by buying an extra MIDIUno interface for $49 that works via USB.

Support:
very professional, you must know a little bit what you are talking about otherwise, the risk is you loose their attention

Overall:
i will keep it for a long time, it is perfect for my home studio

Style of Music: jazz, synth, soft rock

"You won't be sorry if you would buy this"

Feature:
The breakout box was great! They said you could record up to 4 channels at the same time, but actually that is 2 stereo channels. You get ProTools Demo with it and Live Lite, but ProTools won't work (probably like the LE version because I have Windows XP).

Quality:
It looks steady and strong and it feels like that.

Value:
This is the first soundcard I've seen for such a low price and such good features!

Desirability:
It's great! It's the best for the price!

Sound:
The sound is really great! No noise as far as I can hear and it's clean and excellent quality

Overall:
It's very good! Except that you only get 4 (2 stereo) inputs, but for the price it's excellent!

The Delta 44 offers the same features and high performance as the Delta 66, but is designed for the person who does not require S/PDIF digital I/O. The Delta 44 features the same 24-bit 96kHz converter section that makes the Delta 66 the envy of the audio card community. And like the Delta 66, the Delta 44's breakout box handles 4 balanced or unbalanced, +4dB or -10dB signal level analog inputs and outputs. Also included is the Delta control panel software, which configures the card and controls digital mixing and routing.
