We\'ve been using Delta1010\'s in our radio station for many years now - and they\'ve been perfect. Incredibly reliable, never had any problems with them whatsoever. Had them installed in our studios and engineering room and never missed a beat (as opposed to our Saffire Pro40 in the production studio, which has had a number of issues with drivers). Never seen a single BSOD with M-audio\'s drivers. They are also officially supported by psquared Myriad (our playout software), which is pretty handy.

Mr : M-Audio ProKeys 88 Hammer-Action Premium Stage Piano

User: Paul
Rating; 10/10
April 2011. I purchased my M-Audio Prokeys 88 Stage Piano in 2006. It was fitted with the original 22 high brightness BLUE LEDs which quickly failed, one after the other, It was returned to the dealer to replace the faulty LEDs, but they continued to fail, and to avoid the cost and embarrassment of constantly returning it for repair, I finally stripped it and replaced all 22 BLUE LEDs with 22 high brightness RED LEDs....not a job for the faint-hearted! I believe all the later models are fitted with the more reliable RED LEDs. Up to the present the keyboard has worked faultlessly, and I am very pleased with it. I have a number of professional Synthesizers and Workstations, but my Prokeys 88 is my preferred keyboard when it comes to playing Piano! It has an excellent, graded, Hammer-action key-bed, replicating the feel of a real Grand Piano. It is built like a tank, weighs a ton, at an affordable price, and is black...like a real Piano! Highly recommended for all those requiring a straight-forward, professional stage Piano, without any unnecessary expensive frills! An excellent overall specification. Does exactly what it says on the keyboard! Paul.

Hardware good, let down by very poor driver software : M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 15:28:09 +0000

User: Matt
Rating; 3/10
The hardware looks great on paper but the drivers are another matter. You must power the device up using a very specific sequence and disable your computer\'s sleep/lock mode otherwise it will cause a Kernel Panic (OSX) or BSOD (Windows) every time. M-Audio know about this problem and simply specify that sleep mode is \'not supported\', neglecting to mention this lack of support causes crashes taking the whole computer out at the driver level. Googling reveals that I\'m not alone with this problem. I\'ve tried to use it on both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard but after losing a lot of work on both computers and spending countless hours rebooting to inspect the damage, I\'ve had to concede defeat. Unfortunately my patience and persistence with the problem has meant that I\'ve lost my right to return it within 14 days so I\'ll have to eBay it. Further warning - make sure you install the PC drivers before you connect the device otherwise Windows gets stuck in a loop where it can\'t install the driver and can\'t uninstall it either, even after rebooting.

I have been struggling with the Fast Track Pro that I purchased a couple of months ago. I couldn\'t get it to work through my Toshiba Satelite; I then got a Mac Book pro (as a gift) which at least recognised when I plugged it in to the USb port, and I can even record a track through garage band; but I cannot get any sound through the interface to the monitoring port, and I can\'t hear the metronome at all. There is no tech support available; I\'ve searched all the forums trying to find a solution to the problem and there seems to be no solution. All in all a very disappointing buy...

2496 Great Card but not for Windows 7! : M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound card - 96 kHz - 24-bit

User: John Crawford
Rating; 5/10
I have owned the 2496 for years and always been happy with its performance. After a LONG wait (affordability) I upgraded my PC to an all singing Sound Making Machine! So off I go to get my new 64 bit Windows 7 drivers. They installed fine and I opened up Reason 4 and all sounds lovely! Great! I\'m in action.......not! So when I plug my guitar in I get static...not just a bit (though none is acceptable so rather besides the point). It seems all \"audio\" files are subject to left channel static. I start searching around and I find that there are lots of others in exactly the same position...left channel static on audio. I went to the M-Audio forums and there is post upon post of people imploring M-audio to deal with the issue. As of July 12th 2010 STILL nothing is done although the development team do acknowledge that there are some improvements to be made in the software and are working on it. Their last post was in May 2010. ESPECIALLY since the card is still on sale this is clearly not on. It seems this has been going on for quite some time! If the product was obsolete it might arguably be fair enough but after spending an arm and a leg on a music machine to be let down by a poxy driver issue is really frustrating. I checked the card in my Windows XP machine and it works fine. Therefore. Great card if you\'re running Windows XP 32 bit. Otherwise leave well alone until M-Audio have sorted out their issues. I\'m very disappointed because I love the card and want to stay with it but I also want to get on with my tunes. Anyway. Just wanted to let others know to avoid such disappointment. It seems fairly ubiquitous. Mine is a brand new machine. Checked for conflicts etc. All fine. Definitely drivers. Would have given 8 or 9 stars were it not for this but M-Audio really should give SOME priority to this as the card is so popular and owned by so many music makers. Come on M-Audio. Sort it out!

High pitched noise, straight out of the box. The Fast Track software isn\'t verified by Windows, so you get 2 warnings on installation which M-Audio advise you to ignore - but it\'s still a little disconcerting! Phoned 3 times to M-Audio support but initial advice given was poor (\"try installing in Safe Mode\" - I kid you not!). Eventually M-Audio have asked me to return the unit as it \"must be faulty\". If the replacement unit comes back good then I\'ll submit a more positive review but, for now, I\'ve been very dispapointed. The only positive is that the Pro-Tools M-Powered Essential software is really good and seems to be a good way of getting in to Pro-Tools for a beginner like me. It\'s just that there\'s a high-pitched noise in the background the entire time!! :o(

Bought this about 2 weeks ago and I am absolutely delighted with it. Excellent stability and crystal-clear sound. Multiple analogue inputs/outputs are very useful to me - e.g. I can use a splitter box to record the output from my Digitech pedal and the clean guitar signal at the same time, allowing greater processing flexibility later. The other interfaces I looked at in this price range mostly had only 2 analogue inputs - if you want more you have to use S/PDIF which adds cost and complexity. For my needs, using with SONAR 8.5, this suits me perfectly. Higly recommended and great value.

This is my second pair of BX5a\'s. I also have a pair of fantastic ESI nEar 8\'s and these compare well, albeit without the big bottom end and half the size. They are nice to look at, compact and very detailed. You lose the bass at about 50Hz but the mids and highs are clear and they are nice and loud. I bought these to replace the terrible Behringer monitors I bought (write that off to experience). I made the mistake of going for features (Optical in and two analogue inputs) over reputation Never again. The Behringers are gathering dust in the shed and the BX5a\'s are connected to my Mac and I\'m really pleased with them. An absolute steal at under 200.

I\'ve only been playing with this thing for a few hours, but already I\'m in love with it; basic setup couldn\'t have been easier, it feels solidly built without being heavy, the key action is light but not wishy-washy (although I\'m not really a keyboard player, so your mileage may vary on this), and the DAW autoconfig is pretty nifty. The more advanced features (assigning MIDI control codes to buttons, etc.) are a little opaque but the ability to store a selection of presets means that it\'s unlikely you\'ll need to do it often, and for its diminutive size it packs a lot of features. The only complaint I might have is that I\'d have preferred to have the control knobs on the left of the keyboard (playing with my right hand and adjusting the knobs with the left is made slightly awkward by needing to cross my arms), but other than that this is pretty much the perfect portable MIDI controller -- small, light, and feature-laden.

Brilliant bit of kit!!!!! : M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 USB MIDI Controller with HyperControl Technology

User: Chris Hibbert
Rating; 10/10
Having recently started producing my own music I looked around a lot for the right Midi Keyboard. It came down to a toss up between the Axiom Pro 49 and the Akai MPK49. After reading many reviews I decided on the Axiom, an I\'m extremely glad I did. After prompt delivery from Dolphin I opened the box with a big smile on my face. As I sat looking at this beautiful bit of kit I began to play with all the faders, buttons, knobs, pads and keys. The build quality of the Axiom Pro 49 is of a very high standard. The rest of the contents of the box was the USB lead, manuals, CD for Windows users and a copy of Ableton Live 7 Lite. I\'d be using a Mac Book Pro and Ableton Suite 8 with my Pro 49. There is a sheet of paper that informs Mac user not to use an auto setup that pops up when you plug in a Midi Keyboard (be sure to read). With the keyboard now all plugged in I went to Midi Sync in Preferences within Ableton an set this to AxiomPro (for more detailed information on how to set up go to Axioms website). Once this was done I discovered that some of the controls worked and some didn\'t. Don\'t panic! You will need a firmware update from Axioms website. Once the update was done everything was perfectly in sync. Playing the keyboard I was more than happy with the Semi weighted TruTouch keys. It was a delight to play. All in all I\'m over joyed with this Midi Keyboard. Hyper Control is fantastic as saves all the mundane programming of keys. Highly recommended to any producer........

Hello, I thought I should voice my opinion on this really good piece of hardware. I have used a lot of Audio Interfaces, ranging from PreSonus, RME and even Digidesign, but the ProFire really does beat them all. Why does it, your wondering? Firstly, the built in Octane pre-amps are so clean and clear, and they do not give out any unwanted noises or hissing you can get from other Audio Interfaces. Also you don\'t have to crank the volume up to the full, to get a loud sound. What I really like about it, is that it has a -20db pad, so if your recording really loud things like a guitar cab, use the -20db pad and it sounds perfect. It has two headphone inputs which is very handy when recording, and it has two separate phantom power buttons on inputs 1-4 and 5-8. That can be very good for the use of different microphones at one time. (Condensers & Ribbons). It also has two jack instrument inputs on the front (which give a much better sound), so you don\'t need to connect them to the XLR inputs on the back. Also it has 2 LED lights to indicate Clip and another if the signal is being received. It has two firewire connections which is absolutely great and much, much better than USB. So you can hook up two 2626\'s together and have 52 separate inputs of audio! It also comes with some I/O; MIDI, S/PDIF & Wordclock. Also what could be better, when its compatible with the industry standard DAW; Pro Tools! Things you must remember about the Profire is that, turn it on FIRST before your computer and monitors, otherwise it could harm the Profire. There really isn\'t any bad things I can say about the Profire. It is really an amazing piece of gear, and would be very good for any studio. Thanks

I needed to replace an old Midi keyboard which was large and heavy, for something I could use on my workstation and would require less man handling in the setting up and plugging in. This controller is great, light without feeling cheap, the keys, are responsive without feeling to light and the amount of knobs and sliders will please the most demanding tweaking freak. There are many mapping drivers to suit most of the popular software. How ever make sure to download the correct version if you are using Reason/Record by Propellerhead.

The only negative is that I cant always get the bundled midi presets to work. On the positive side the build quality is really good,the recording software is excellent with built in tutorials and there was no problems useing the recording studios built in musical presets with the keyboard. And special mention must be made of the connectivety I was really impressed when i connected my guitar to the computer through the keyboard and used the bundled software no hiss and the ability to use the recording studios built in presets with my guitar a free effects pedal All in all brilliant value for money. A note on dolphin music great service and would recomend without reservation.

Great interface, with good clean sounding pre-amp. Comes with Pro-tools M-Powered essentials, I have been a cubase and logic user for a number of years, but I have to say that I will be a Pro-tools user from now on. Worth it for the free plug-ins alone, 16 tracks of audio + plus worked straight out of the box with my M-Audio MIDI Keyboard. Pro-tools will take a little to get used to if your used to other software, but this stripped down version is great to learn with. Great service from dolphin, had it within a few days, always check for availability though. Overall I have given this product 10 stars because its really hard to beat in terms of price, For the singer/songwriter or people new to the recording process this can\'t be beat.

This piece of kit I have used with Windows (xp and the recent upgrade to 7) and OS X. On all operating systems it is very easy to use and get started with. The weight to it makes gives it a very nice feel and but it\'s not too heavy to have on your lap if you\'re on the move. The velocity sensitive keys are brilliant and respond amazingly. I have to many midi keyboards that delay on release or don\'t give the control this one does. All the controls are easy to program and give a depth of control that is normally only found on the most expensive of models. This is a fantastic piece of kit and I would recommend it to anyone. top marks

Beware of battery issue! : M-Audio MicroTrack II Professional Audio Recorder

User: Philip Maybury
Rating; 4/10
This is a well-respected product, but prospective users have to be aware of one significant issue. The battery is built into the unit and can only be replaced by an authorised service centre. Not a problem - you might think - but a related factor is that if the product is not fully charged on the first charge (over several hours without a power interruption) then it may not operate properly. So if the power is interrupted during the first charge for any reason, then you may have to send the unit back to a service centre for battery replacement. So, check that all product seals are intact when you receive the item (to be sure it is a new product from the factory). Take extra care when charging that you don\'t accidentally switch off the charger; and hope that you don\'t have a power cut!

Let me start by saying that I\'ve only awarded this product 1 star as \'no stars\' wasn\'t an option. I urge you with all sincerity to avoid this product like it was swine flu\'. All of the time you previously spent perfecting your mixes will now be spent on forums, trying to find ways to make it work, and despite whatever you read or try, it still won\'t work. Sure, the M-Audio tech guys are helpful, and they do try to resolve the problems, but to resolve anything with such a useless product as this is surely beyond the reach of mortal man. I urge you, don\'t get one of these, even if it is going for a good price. You\'ll regret it.

Had this card for a few years now. Never had any problems with it. I do a lot of digital sequencing and have found it great for the price. I run it through my Mackie desk and have had few records released with tracks made using it. There really is not much else with the latency and sound quality of this card available for the same price. Pro\'s: Great sound quality Very stable (xp32) Excellent price Cons: Mic/line jumpers No breakout box As for the previous comments about the bundled software, I didn\'t buy this card for a stripped down version of Ableton, but I was quite happy to get something for free.

My rating is high (8, not 4) because of the shockingly good value of this product however there are a few niggles which should be mentioned. 1. Earphones are terrible (worse than iPod ones) 2. TRS inputs are too close together for decent cables. 3. My first recording stopped for no reason after 18 minutes (there was 2 hours room left) - hopefully this won\\\'t happen again. I\\\'ve read this is not uncommon and may due to faulty flash card. That said, it\\\'s better quality than I thought it\\\'d be - sure there\\\'s a little hiss on the provided mic (but very good for bundled tiny T-mic) but wired up to 2 x condensers (it has 2 channels with true 48V phantom power) and set to highest quality settings I am blown away with the quality - I honestly think people that complain of hiss are not setting correct levels/input settings. Assuming it doesn\\\'t quit on me again (I reformatted card) this is a well built, extremely easy to use, attractive, high quality recorder that is astonishing value.

The clarity of sound was astounding, each strike of a simble, the tap of fingers on bongoes, you hear it all. If you\'re not using these earphones, in all honesty you are missing out on the true sound of music. I love the fact that you can replace the cable if damaged which i couldn\'t do with any of my previous in-ear phones. These will last me forever.

Axiom Pro 61 - the perfect companion to Logic Studio : M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 USB MIDI Keyboard with HyperControl

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:07:05 +0000

User: Simon Williams
Rating; 10/10
My initial feeling for this keyboard was cautious, as the first one I received had a dead key after only a day or so of usage. Dolphin Music\'s first class customer service though resolved the problem immediately and arranged for a swap around, so I was soon back with the Axiom Pro 61 and ready to connect it to my iMac running Logic 8 studio. First impressions unpacking the keyboard were very good. The keyboard feels reassuringly heavy and well made, the controls seem to feel that they should last many years of use. As I pointed out earlier, this was my second model as the first developed a dead key after just a few days of use, but I guess that I was just unlucky! I quickly unpacked the axiom, installed the hypercontrol drivers for Logic and plugged in the USB cable. Turning on the keyboard I was greeted by the backlit blue on white LCD display showing software version number and then a general midi patch with onscreen sliders. The display is very clear and easy to read from a wide angle, unlike some other keyboards I have owned with colour screens. Although there is no contrast control, I have no issues with the screen. I prefer the white text on blue screen though so I quickly changed that setting in main menu. I was immediately pleased at how easy the keyboard was to use, despite having not even opened the manual! Perhaps though the most amazing surprise was when Logic Studio started up and I opened a previous song I had been working on. The display immediately reflected the settings of my track and I was able to change tracks, control the transport (play, stop, rewind etc) and adjust the mixer... without having to set any maps up or delve into menus! Opening up one of Logic\'s plug in synths the display of the Axiom immediately reflected the controls and I was able to tweak filters, resonance and just about everything from the keyboard\'s knobs! Awesome! If you prefer to use the sliders for voice tweaking, a setting on the keyboard enables you to swap around the functions of the sliders and knobs, with one set of controls adjusting synth or effect parameters and the other controls adjusting levels. Very soon I was feeling at home with the Axiom, able to interact with Logic without having to resort to mouse and computer keyboard. The controls of the axiom felt very responsive, I particularly liked the infinite rotating knobs which means whatever the existing setting is of a parameter, you can touch the knob and adjust it as if the knob was already at that position. The sliders have a similar feature except they have a sort of clutch which prevents parameters from suddenly jumping to the new slider position. Instead when you move a slider, the onscreen display of the axiom shows where the existing value of the parameter that you are adjusting is and it waits for you to move the slider to that position before the parameter changes. My previous keyboard controller had a synth action and so playing piano parts felt somewhat expressionless. The Axiom Pro 61 has a semi weighted more piano like keyboard, it feels more like a piano but still offers a light enough synth action for quicker parts. It feels much better quality than other controllers I have used and I particularly welcome the aftertouch which enables you to press the keys at the bottom of their travel to provide an additional pressure control to sounds. The Axiom 61 also features drum pads, these are just great for not only programming percussion parts (they are big enough to use two fingers for flams and conga patterns), but you can use them to trigger just about anything midi! A particularly neat feature of the axiom pro is that you can set them to either velocity or pressure sensitive, and there are a number of different velocity and pressure curves available. Above the pitch bend and modulation wheels are two large data +/- switches. By default these can be used to shift octave up and down, or by pressing twice you can transpose. Above these is a numeric keypad that is fully programmable, for example using the preset patch 14 you get a set of 12 shortcuts for Logic Pro for saving project, undo, toggling metronome, quantizing and so on... but of course you can change these to whatever you please. The keyboard has both a sustain pedal and expression pedal input, USB and standard MIDI 5 pin din IN and OUT sockets. You can use it without a computer via MIDI but that requires an additional DC power supply which is not included. Having now played the Axiom pro 61 for a few weeks, I am very pleased with the quality and flexibility of this controller and would recommend it most highly as an integrated controller for popular Digital Audio Workstations. I only wished they did a 72 note version! The Axiom Pro 61 is considerably more expensive than most 61 note controller keyboards, but given the time it saves in mapping directly to all your effect and instrument plug in\'s in your DAW, not to mention the high quality semi weighted keys with aftertouch, quality slider and rotary encoders, pressure and velocity pads, you get what you pay for. I would have liked to have seen a full printed instruction manual included, I\'m not a fan of electronic manuals on CD\'s and ended up having to print and bind my own copy for reference. I also felt that the LCD display could be slightly larger, it\'s not that it is too small (size is 7cm by 3.5cm viewable area) but some of the information can appear a bit cramped and the abbreviations are not always easy to understand. It would also be nice if there was some sort of user programmable sleep mode on the display, as this would avoid me from having to switch off the keyboard to prolong the backlight (though it might be that its LED\'s). Overall then if you are a Logic, Pro Tools or Cubase user (or indeed any of the DAW\'s that the axiom supports) then you should seriously consider the Axiom Pro 61 if you are shopping for a controller keyboard. The Hypercontrol technology gives you immediate control over plug ins, mixer panel and voices without having to spend hours and hours programming. The transport controls on the keyboard are just great and save you having to take your hands aways from the keys and control your computer by mouse or computer keyboard. 10 Stars!

An amazing pair of speakers they are. Punches way above its weight in terms of price and more surprisingly, its size. Very strong mid-range and an easy overkill for any onboard PC sound codec. Makes the AV40 look expensive (which it is not actually), and should be the speaker system of choice for any PC or MP3 player. Sounds so good on my 5G iPod that I am thinking of using a hifi grade Y-cable to improve the sound. I don\'t find the sound flat. It just finds out any weak audio source very quickly, just like a hifi system 4 times the price. I would recommend not to turn on the bass boost as it already too punchy. As \"professional\" monitors, it can be better. But consider it as PC speakers, look around comparable \"PC speakers\" at similiar price such as the Harman Kardons, or even the Bose iPod docks, they don\'t even come close. If using as media player speakers, such as 5G iPod / iPhone, will be worth plumbing for a 20 quid hifi grade Y-cable. this really should be on every PC shop\'s speaker inventory.

I also used this to produce a drum beat and other different parts via the keyboard. I do not know how well it works with Windows, but with a Mac, it was brilliant, Well worth the money.

M-Audio Delivers Quality Yet Again. : M-Audio Q-40

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:42:13 +0000

User: Adam Herrick
Rating; 9/10
I bought a pair of Q40 headphones from Dolphin recently with the intention of using them in a small studio - particularly of organ music - with the intention of using them later in the evenings, when using reference monitors isn\'t possible. Having always relied on the M-Audio name for both quality and affordability, I was not disappointed on either count. My main reason for buying these headphoens was the quoted frequency response, which really does go all the way down to 10Hz - or seems to, anyway. Knowing that I needed to get good, flat response as far down as 16Hz - the bottom end of 32\' rank on a pipe organ - I looked around, and found these headphones which seemed to fit the bill. What I discovered on trying them out was that they most certainly do - the clarity of the lowest pitches of various recordings with which I\'ve tested them is phoenomenal: I believe at times indistiguishable from being in the building where the instrument is housed. In addition to this fantastic low-end response, the treble detail and imperfections which are always present in a pipe organ - pipe chiff, blower noise, key / mechanical action and acoustic imperfections - are all (wonderfully) apparent. I found the situation no different when I listened to some of my own productions: the Q40\'s do what every artist might wish for by bringing out new details never-before-heard in previous compositions and prompting with them a whole stream of new ideas for modifications and improvements. In only a few days of having them, I\'ve made a whole list of moments of old compositions that I want to revisit and rework. This is no doubt, in part a product of the impressive isolation the Q40\'s afford. Whilst not entirely capable of giving the isolatory, \"what-world-outside?\" effect one could desire, the headphones were still capable (via my girlfriend) of giving me a hell of a fright. Her raised voice having failed to get my attention in the studio the first afternoon I tried the headphones out, she sneaked up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. I could well imagine a health warning on a big orange label on the side of the box: \"to prevent palpitations, arythmias and infarctions, always face the entrance-way of the studio whilst using our product\"! When I opened the package and found the Q40\'s, I was again impressed by M-Audio\'s sleek packaging and design. Like the headphones, the packaging oozes quality, but inevitably didn\'t maintain my attention for long. Having unpacked them and discovered in the box the leather case, detatchable cable and 3.5mm adaptor, I was keen to try them out straight away. For their first session out of the box I wore them for four hours straight and hardly noticed any fatigue or discomfort. The headphones are easily adjustable (and do not slip unlike a previous pair I owned) and are well padded and comfortable. The provision of a detatchable cable is extremely useful in a small studio - rather than having to dig round on the floor for the right output to disconnect, one can leave the cable in place and remove the headphones from it - something which improves further a high-quality listening experience. The one disappointing feature of these headphones is the leather bag they are supplied with - I would have appreciated (and paid a little extra for) a hard case, which would afford better protection of the headphones, when carrying them around in a backpack or travel bag. However, when I made the choice to buy the Q40\'s, I knew that the majority of their use would be in a single place, so the lack of a hard case did not feature strongly in my decision to buy. In conclusion, these are a fantastic pair of headphones, of a quality for which I would have expected to pay significantly more. The lack of a genuinely protective case prevents me giving ten stars out of ten, but for those who need quality headphones on a limited budget, the Q40\'s will not disappoint.

The sound quality to my surprise really out shines the 0404, sounding tighter on the lows and brighter on the highs, my mixes sound superb also latency within Ableton my DAW of choice is great, again better than the 0404. Drivers installed fine, although do install the drivers FIRST then insert the card. I did it the other way against the include instructions!

Faders are very smooth (they are slightly noisy but thats to be expected) and had no experiences of the faders going crazy like i\'ve had on other systems! My only critisicm is that it only has 4 outputs. If they had just added two more then 5.1 would be possible. However this aside it is a great system. Just the fact it is fully functional with cubase and protools is amazing. And the LED display is an absolute godsend when your working with like 40 channels. Takes away the frustration of browsing through banks trying to work out which channel is controlling which! Genious.

I bought this keyboard controller about 2 weeks ago and I\'ve tried with garage band with very good results - to be honest I was able to create a song in less than 5 minutes. The keystation is simple to use and does everything it is suppose to do. You just need to pick any music software like Abbleton, sonar or Reason plus your creativity to keep you playing for hours. OR if you\'ve got, like me, an Apple Mac with garage band installed is plug and play all the way.

I tried this card out to replace my Marian Marc 2 card, due to the fact that the M-audio card supports XP and Vista, whereas my current Marian card only supports XP. Is use the sound card in a Media PC which is linked to pretty good HiFi; I use the SPDIF only (for interested people http://www.youtube.com/user/idiocratease?gl=GB&hl=en-GB) The card installed smoothly as did the software. The interface is simple and clean. Whilst I\'m sure this is a good card in the general sense, the quality of the SPDIF was not on the same level as the Marian Marc 2 Card. This is a very subtle thing I suspect relating to clock accuacy, leading to slighy more jitter in the M-Audio card, but I lost some of the glitter and dynamic range with this card. So I returned this card. But as I say, I\'m sure it\'s a pretty good card.

I recently built a small studio at home; which meant my audio computer needed unplugging from my sound system as I need it where it was to listen to music. It was also a good opportunity to use monitors instead, so did my research and bought the M-Audio Studiophile AV 30. I\'m glad I did. The response is fairly flat and uncoloured. The internal amp does its job nicely without introducing any noticeable induced noise. They are surprisingly loud. There\'s some distortion on the bass but only at insane volume levels. This ain\'t no pro monitors, but certainly useful and excellent vfm. The cable supplied to feed the secondary monitor is very good quality. It\'s also got a headphone-out minijack connection, very handy when it\'s late at night, saves me from unjacking from the computer. As for other uses other than mixing & mastering, I often take breaks by watching series or playing something on my PSP (the main unit has got a minijack line-in I can hook it up to, cable included, good quality) and the speakers are well suited for that, overkill if anything. Only real drawback I see is that you do need to be extra careful on the monitors (and your head) placement to get the best of them. You know how to position them, but make sure the tweeters are at your ear\'s height.

Absolutely fantastic MIDI controller keyboard; it is everything I needed and more! This keyboard has many controls which are very easily assigned to applications (I use Logic, Live, and Reason). Also, the fact the it doesn\'t require drivers is a definite plus! And latency is unnoticeable. The keys are nice and responsive. However, the keys are not very dynamic as mentioned in another review. Also, the sliders and knobs are smooth. The facts that the eight knobs are continuous is also very useful and a welcome addition. Although, the sliders do seem to come off once of twice since I\'ve had it, but as long as you are gentle with them you should be fine! I\'d definitely recommend this controller as it is generally well built and is filled with features - all of which is at a great price!

I bought this card with some trepidation, as I\'ve had nightmares in the past with PC based recording. But it was an absolute joy - no issues with latency, stable as a rock, nice software interface.I have a digital tv card already installed, and that integrated seamlessly. I\'m running XP on an old banger PC, using Cubase SX and Reason. Installation went very smoothly, the only headscratching you may encounter is deciding where to set the jumpers for the operating levels for inputs 1&2 (the XLR ones). Since I run my mics and instruments through a Focusrite Platinum Trakmaster i\'ve set the jumpers to maximum Line Level of +14dBu. I only have one regret about this card - I wish I\'d bought years earlier. I love it !!!!

This could be the perfect mixer for your home studio (& occacional gig) : M-Audio M-Audio NRV10 10 x 10 Interface & 8 x 2 Analogue Mixer

User: Bored 1
Rating; 6/10
Interesting product which blurs the line between computer and mixer. There are USB products which does about the same as this, but I prefer Firewire for audio, since USB steals some CPU and latency is typically a little higher. With Firewire there are some Onyx mixers from Mackie and the N-series (N8 especially) from Yamaha that this competes against, but both are more expensive than this. The Yamaha is however a true digital mixer, and they both have more extensive EQ. You pay... The NRV10 has the smallest footprint, which could play an important role in a home studio. Its a standard analog mixer (doesnt need computer to operate), but with a computer connected it acts as both an 8 input soundcard and an 8 channel mixer to adjust the listening on individual tracks while working in your DAW. No repatching needed! I like fast, hands-on mixing like that, but to be clear: this is NOT a control surface, i.e. theres no automation; the mixer is entirely analog. With the supplied software you can use your computer as an effects device. Basic Noise gate and Compressor plus any two VSTs of your choice per track (a few are supplied even, to get you started). This is really nice! The application that holds these effects doesnt seem to tax the CPU any extra at all (worth of talking about), compared to doing it via your DAW (which would be more fiddly as well). But mono tracks will have VST output only in mono - no fancy routing here. Read the product description for all it can do EUR its good and detailed. As an analog mixer the NRV10 is quiet and unassuming. It replaced a Behringer mixer, and it was like lifting a veil off the sound. Behringer OUT of my house! It has a built in effects processor which can provide reverb in headpones when singing etc.. I use it for rough mixing-sketches as well, and live. However the FX unit is noisy; setting the Return level above 0 dB will add hiss to the mix. On a DJ-set in a noisy club it probably wont matter, but I feel this part is underspecced nevertheless. One reason why I bought this is because I needed more inputs, and this unit has five good M-Audio mic preamps (+ 3 Line), so its quite a good deal even as just a soundcard. Unlike the bulk (all?) of their soundcards, the XLR inputs doesnt accommodate instrument level, so I had to get a DI-box extra to use my guitar. Hmm... (Actually a guitar is pictured as input source on the casing). Marketing says this is a 10:10 mixer, but there is no way you can get ten independent sources into your computer with this. Theres eight real inputs, and the last two is the total stereo mix. I found out before I purchased. You can return eight tracks independently, and then there are two different stereo mix returns, which is quite powerful, and these are the only physical outputs. I dont know what youd call this in the real world (not marketing) - a 8:8:2/2 mixer or something? (8 inputs, 8 returns, 2 independent stereo outputs.) Note that this mixers more expensive competitor from Mackie only has one stereo return/output. Having used fully analog studio equipment earlier, I find doing all this through ONE FireWire cable amazing and a godsend of new tidyness. M-Audio suggest to use this mixer live as well. It isnt flimsy, but it isnt built like a tank either (again you get what you pay for), so Id certainly put it in a protective rack / frame for more than the ocacional gig. I wouldnt mind longer faders, but then the footprint in the studio would be bigger. The buttons produce a snap when switching from Mic to Line, and worse: its hard to see at a glance if they are up or down! This (is it input or return?) could be very stressing in a live setting. A real design blemish I call it. My criticisms are actually minor things. Especially at Dolphins good price, this is a very attractive product. The NRV-10 mixer/soundcard has taken the overall sound quality in my home studio up to a new level.

I\'ve had one of these cards in my music computer for several years now and bought this to upgrade the sound in a new computer. This card has been around for a good few years now but its longevity is a big plus point for me. It may not have the bells and whistles of newer cards, but if you simply want to record and play good quality sound then you can\'t really go wrong here! The only negative point is that the manual hasn\'t been updated since I got my first card - it still refers to Windows 95, 98 and NT! XP doesn\'t get a look-in! However, the driver has been refined over the years and seems to work with all current OS, even Vista 64-bit I believe, although I can\'t vouch for that. All in all, a great quality card.

Excellent midi keyboard. I purchased it as I needed something to control my soft-synths, and was taken in by all the various sliders, knobs and switches. The keys are responsive without being too heavy, making it great for amateur musicians. The only downsides are that the programming can be a bit complicated at times and the touch-pads can be slightly twitchy. Overall, very much worth the money.

I bought this both as a stage piano to play late at night when it would annoy the neighbours too much playing my baby grand. And secondly I wanted a weighted 88 key keyboard to use as a controller keyboard for my various synthesizers. Taking each of these requirements in turn: As a piano, I was very impressed with the ProKeys 88. It feels good to play and the main on board sounds are very good. It was nice to have other sounds like strings and basses but I probably won\'t use them much. The main problem I had with playing it was that the edges of the keys are quite sharp and so a long stretch can be a little uncomfortable. Whilst I won\'t be selling my baby grand, it does provide a good piano feel and at a very reasonable price. As a controller keyboard, it does everything I wanted from it. However, that is not saying much as I don\'t use a computer for music and so all I was using it for was controlling hardware synths using MIDI. My only complaint is that changing sounds requires you to press a \'change sound\' button and then type in the number of the patch. That can get a bit tedious if you are auditioning a lot of sounds. But other than that minor gripe, MIDI control worked straight away on all my synths. In summary, this is a really good stage piano and MIDI controller in one. For the price it is being sold at, it is a really good buy.

M-Audio Project Mix I/O : M-Audio Project Mix I/O

User: Mark Jesson
Rating; 9/10
After a lot of research (it\'s a big purchase) I bought the Project Mix I/O for my home studio. It is a combined Firewire audio interface and control surface. The package I bought bundled Pro Tools M-Audio 7.4 (which, after registering on M-Audio\'s website qualified for a free Pro Tools 8 upgrade). Install In the box were disks containing hardware drivers, PT 7.4 with reg card, bundled plug-ins, a copy of Live Lite, a PSU (with every possible plug adaptor), a pre-auth\'d iLok device, a 6-pin / 6-pin f/w cable, a 6-pin / 4-pin f/w cable and two manuals. I run Vista (SP1) on a 2.2GHz Intel Dual Core laptop with 3Gb of RAM. Note a Vista install is not as smooth as I had hoped but support offered by M-Audio is great. First, nip over to M-Audio\'s site and download and install the latest appropriate drivers. Vista 32 bit SP1 is supported. Shut-down the computer, plug in the firewire cable turn on the Project Mix and boot up your OS. Once boot-up is complete there is an extra step to complete installation in Vista. Instructions for this are only on M-Audio\'s site and caused some initial head-scratching. There is a squeaky bum moment whilst the firmware updates! Once I had the surface installed I checked the audio interface was working by sending some music to it from media player to my monitor speakers via balanced TRS jacks. I then installed PT 7.4 (but I guess you could register before installing PT 7.4 and go straight to PT8). I had some issues with PT after install which I thought was due to a duff iLok. A quick search on Digidesign\'s website prompted me to uninstall IEv8 which cured the issue. I then registered (once happy all was working) and created an iLok account. I then received an e-mail containing PT8 download instructions. Note you need an iLok account to do this as a new key is deposited to you. Download (>3Gb) took an hour with my connection but I can see it being a problem for some users. PT8 install was smooth and it has a much improved interface over PT7.4. Once installed, turn off your computer, plug in and turn on the Project Mix, boot-up your computer, launch PT 8, set-up your hardware and you are ready to make some music! First Impressions Ins and outs are as specified on the product page. You can configure in the control panel and it is self explanatory. There is an A/B switch EUR great for switching between sets of monitors when mixing. There is 6.35mm input on the front of the unit EUR very handy for guitarists and two independent headphone outputs. You can use the desk as an audio interface in Vista which is good for listening to tunes whilst not working. Sound quality is great with no hisses or pops although I havent pushed it hard yet. The Project Mix has many modes covering all of the bases. M-Audio seems committed to service and the firmware is updateable. Modes are selected by holding down an Aux key when powering on. Mine defaulted to Cubase mode on power-up but this is easily changed. M-Audio recommend only changing modes when all elements of you set-up are powered off including your computer. In PT mode track names are displayed above each channel, and the workflow is intuitive, a mini-studio in your house / at the gig. Motorized faders rock! You will use the surface instead of you mouse whilst recording which speeds everthing up. I have my musical equipment wired into the inputs. (elec. guitar, bass, keys, floor pod, synth and keys). Instead of un-plugging equipment you can just move the channel strip along so that the track matches the input which is handy! Verdict The LCD screen makes recording simple and the faders come into their own when mixing. Impress your friend with automation when paying back your session! Comparable products are more and dont come with PT! Recommended purchase if you want a solid control surface and a high-spec digital audio interface. Make sure you have the room for it though!

Firstly I would like to say don\'t rely on the delivery times stated by dolphin. During check out I was told that it would be 1-4 days for delivery.....it turned out to be about 12 days because they didnt have the item in stock....a little heads up would have been nice. When the item was delivered it came without the power supply (hard to obtain) and no sustain pedal...both of which are said to be included in the manual. I contacted dolphin straight away and they said they would get onto M-Audio about getting these parts sent out. It has been about 2 weeks since delivery and I still dont have them. Ok...rant over. The Prokeys 88sx is a great piano. I am not a great pianist by any stretch of the imagination but the keys feel good and the built in sounds are convincing. I use this as a midi keyboard into Logic and it works great...no problems so far. I suggest if you can find it for a good price elsewhere maybe go for that option! I wont be buying from dolphin again.

User: Reis Vermaak
Rating; 8/10
Out of all of the DJ kit I own, The M-Audio Torq system with the Connectiv USB device / vinyls is in the top list. What can I say apart from the fact that it is not only worth the money by far, but it is also a totally awesome mixing experience and I still can\'t believe how effective it is! When friends come over the first thing they want to do is have a mix on my Technics, and now my decks are connected to my laptop via the Connectiv system, they can bring their tunes with them on their MP3 player - but we still have the full-on vinyl mixing experience. I have recently discovered the live remix features and the fact that you can use VSTs on the outputs - mind blowing mixes are all I can do now, although you don\'t need to use these features to create awesome mixes. My conclusion: > Whether you prefer to mix with a mouse, CDs or like me with Vinyls this is one of the best things you can possibly spend your money on; seriously. Pros: > Literally mix any audio file but in the way you would mix vinyl (or CD if you are into that). > Cheaper than other systems on the market but they give the same high-performance. > This can actually improve your natural mixing capabilities no-end. And I don\'t mean by using the convenient BPM counters either. > As long as your PC/Laptop is reasonably modern it will work - whether on a mini-webbook like I use in a club or a 50 inch HDMI monitor on your desktop PC at the studio - it will work without fail (unlike other more expensive mp3 mixing systems that I have tried). > Totally genuine mixing feel. No delays as you might suspect from a cheaper unit - regardless of your latency. > The automatic intuitive dynamic playlists are a useful feature. > You can even mix a real vinyl on one deck and an MP3 on the other or any combination. Cons: > If you wish to record the mix that you are doing, the best solution is to run the audio out of the computer running the sofware, either into a mini-disc recorder, other PC etc. It doesn\'t seem to like recording the mix itself on the same system (I might be wrong but it isn\'t really an issue anyway). > Clutching at straws here; Mine was not dispatched with the Vista drivers. Not really a issue in the end though as you can easily download any driver from their web site for free, within minutes. Would I recommend it? > Blimey yes! 3 of my friends have gone straight out and bought this item. Not only that, one of my friends who was using the Serato system has now bought this one too. Finally, the gold vinyls available on this particular deal are just outstanding - go beyond just the simple envy of your mates! Happy mixing!

M-Audio Delta 1010LT : M-Audio Delta 1010LT 10-In/10-Out PCI Virtual Studio

I purchased this item specifically to work in a virtual pipe organ (Hauptwerk software) with Windows Vista Ultimate x64 in an Intel Quad Core PC. A. GENERAL The product is fundamentally sound but I have the following comments, which I think M-Audio would do well to read: A1. The Driver The 64 bit driver seems to have been slow in development and is still only in Beta. Furthermore it does not match the manual description. For example: where is the PatchBay? and how is the so-called \"Bass Management\" facility accessed? I couldn\'t find it. For a so-called professional product we need fully released and documented 64-bit drivers on the CD. A2. The Cables I would have liked to have seen M-Audio supply some cables for use with the break-out connectors. Considering that neither this card, nor their Studio BX5 Monitors come with connecting cables (and the use of RCA-phono flying leads at the card end and XLR at the speaker end without supplied cables is a little unfriendly). B. SUPPORTING SOFTWARE B1. M-Audio Pro-Tools The supporting software was disappointing. Firtly, M-Audio Pro-Tools should be renamed Am-Tools - simply because it does not recognise a 64-bit installation of the card. This renders it quite useless for those if who are in 2008 rather than 1998. B2. Ableton Live Secondly, the versions of Ableton Live-Lite 6 and Live-Lite 7 (including M-Audio enhanced) that are available with the product do not incorporate a music score editor. This is a major omission for serious musicians. So all-in-all a potentially good hardware product sploied by lack of up-to-date software support. Kenneth Spencer

This mini usb keyboard is great value for money and easily one of the most portable on the market. Although the keys are smaller than standard it is still easy to play and is a fantastic tool for programming midi keys and drum parts etc. The main drawback I\'ve found is the lack of a pitch wheel and octave selector. There is room on the left side of the keys for this but M-Audio have chosen to leave them out. The pitch wheel I can live without but not being able to shift the octave means having to mess about with the drum mapping to play various midi drum units such as BFD or EZdrummer. The size is great for part of a mobile recording setup, I take mine to Thailand with me and it goes in my main bag no problem. A little bit more thought about potential users wouldnt have gone amiss though.

I do not know a lot about keyboards, but when I searched around the website, this keyboard was the perfect choice for me. When it arrived 24 hours later in the quickest delivery I have ever experienced (and by the way, thank you to dolphin music for it!!), it was better than I had expected, quick and easy to use, no problems what so ever!! I would recommend this keyboard to anyone with little or advanced experience in MIDI keyboards!! Thank you M-Audio and Dolphin Music!! Sara Bolton

Do you need a no-frills audio interface? Are you fed up of the latency with you\'re built in soundcard? This no-frills card is perfect for the musician on a budget. The RCA sockets protrude quite far from the back of this card so I had to remove my motherboard to fit it through the slot on my case. Other than that minor annoyance this is a good card with stable drivers (under XP) and great performance. The order arrived the day after I placed it and I had it up and running within 30 minutes. Really good service and a cracking price from Dolphin.

M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal : M-Audio Expression Controller Pedal

I\'m using two of these to control Eventide\'s digital stompboxes. The other recommended controller was the Ernie Ball 6181 with 25k pot for use with active electronics - which cost four times as much. So i\'ll compare the two. Ernie Balls are built to last forever, and if one of these M-Audio pedals happened to break at a gig i\'d regret my choice. But longevity aside, what\'s suprised me is that I actually prefer the M-Audio as a pedal for most things. They\'re much, much lighter in my pedalboard. They\'ve a smaller footprint: fractionally wider than an Ernie Ball Jnr and about 4cm shorter. I only get 3/4 of my size 12 feet on them but it doesn\'t matter. The big difference in feel is resistance: these don\'t provide any. There is a knob on the axis to vary this and at full-on position the pedal is easier to control but there\'s isn\'t any actual resistance against your foot movement. I prefer this for changing delay and filter settings, but for volume swells I like the resistance my Ernie Ball provides. For the money, and for the moment, these M-Audio\'s get full marks.

As far as functionality against price is concerned, you cant go far wrong with this piece of kit, being USB 2 with lots of ins and outs. M-Audio have improved driver installation. No more restarting, plugging in at the right time etc. HOWEVER, drivers aren\'t perfect. In certain situations, depending on your setup, the drivers can change your system\'s USB power settings (i had this on windows XP prof SP2). This results in the unit just disconnecting during use. I\'ve managed to fix this by tampering with the settings in the device manager - more info is on their forums. There is also a hardware issue that results in the unit cutting out. Apparently this affects only 1% of units shipped. Now that (fingers crossed), my unit is fully functional, it seems to be working fine. If, however, i was gigging regularly and needed to rely on a soucdard day in, day out, i would not buy this one. For home studio use, this product is excellent (provided you can get it to work). Hope this helps :)

This is an excellent piece of music equipment every studio should own, a midi controller. It is very easy to set-up and use. The only problem was the operation manual is on the CD provided, I prefer it in my hands, make sure you read the operation manual as the quick star guide doesn\'t tell you anything bout the product itself. But overall an excellent piece of equipment. 9/10.

Only had it for a few weeks so can\'t give a full review, but so far it\'s a great piece of kit. Easy to set up and get recognised by your machine, music software etc... Only used the supplied Enigma software to set the pad sensitivity to full, then got rid of it - useless program. Program the controller using the manual/online resources to your own specifications and you\'ll be away in no time!
