Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
for guitar/vocal musicians who want to lay down tracks with a simple multi-track recording program.
Sound
WOW! Quality circuitry. Ultra quiet / great signal-to-noise ratio!
Features
Had everything I wanted except for a volume knob for the headphones output.
Quality
Hands down the most durable and well-built breakout box/interface I have ever touched. The mic pre-amps / connections are solid and free of noise.
Value
eh...
Manufacturer Support
AWFUL DRIVERS !!! Incredible sound card, but it's worthless if the company does not make dynamic and up-to-date drivers. This soundcard will probably be fine for someone just using Cool Edit Pro (adobe audition) or a simple mult-track recording program. But if you use lots of soft synths and sequencing programs (fruity loops, rebirth, live, reason, etc...) then DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SOUNDCARD. You have been warned. I contacted customer support. They never replied.
The Wow Factor
I returned the card and bought an M-Audio product instead.

Musical Style:

minimal / experimental / dance / jungle / stoopid

Aardvark DirectPro 24/96 PC Studio Interface with Cubase LE (Windows) Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It will be my main unit for quite a long time!
Sound
Great pre-amp sound. Take advantage of the extremely low noise on pre-amps and combine it with a Mic with low self noise (Rode NT1000), and you'll get a ton of intimacy and detail. Of course, this is with a little EQ and there. But that's the beauty of it. The ultra low noise, really makes the process of using some EQ shine on an NT1000.
Features
I wish the headphone output had volum control. Would be nice if they offered the H-Z guitar inputs too, like on the Q10. Gigastudio compatible!
Quality
Extremely durable. Who else would have thought of inputs that accept both XLR and 1/4 ? Totally awesome sound quality.
Value
It's still a bit pricy for a product that is getting relatively old in tech terms (more than 3.5 years old now, I believe.) Still, there's nothing else like it on the market.
