Very clean with a little tweaking here and there of course.

Inserts would have been nice..I have to run my external processors (ie;compressor/limiter, etc.)in line for each track recorded.

The thing to remember is that although this is a fine interface for the money, the best results that I have obtained, have come from using the bundled Emagic software. The software was designed specificaly for use with the dsp 2000. High dollar/profile software (ie; Cubase,Sonar, etc.)does not seem to work as well with this card without a lot of tweaking, and even then trying to get the right drivers can be a headache.Stick with the included software and augment your setup with external recording devices.

St audio has a Q&A board only. I posted a question 3 weeks ago and still haven't receieved a response.

It's pretty good for 5.1 sound.

make sure u have good pc software, I use cubase which I think I will change.

i don't suggest it, this is cpu product.

i would say so.

very much so, great people to work with.

i really don't judge a product on looks, this is a must have for a just getting into computer recording.

Since the new drivers came out from ESI(Ego Systems) I must say I am much happier with this than I was before. Considering the new drivers and obvious new support from being bought out, I'd say give this card a shot, I've done some recording with it, the sound is clean and very dry.
