delta with 4ins/4outs, quality???
ISIS with 8ins!!!/4outs. I DONT KNOW IT!!!
delta is 24bit/96khz
and Isis 20bit and 16bit rec mode...
but, ISIS has midi in/out/thru, already (I will use it)
both have S/PDIF inputs and outputs
the delta can be configured +4db or -10db signal levels
(pro or semipro)

I will use it with a behringer mixer with
8 direct outs and 4 subgroups.
PC, Windows.....etc.

also, the Guillemont (ISIS XL) comes with a few softwarez.
is the Guillemont maxi studio
good enough VS the Delta cards?!?!?!

ps. Midiman Delta 44 for $252.95!!!
thanx.

hi there proveras, well im using exactly that setup. ISIS with a behringer 2642A...8 direct outs , subgroups......
It seems fine, although ive never heard 24 bit anyway and i probly might not even notice the difference. Originally i had terrible trouble with the isis , but it turned out to be a fault of the computer , well probly more a fault of me ... heehee , was a fairly simple setting that needed to be set... oops...
But for the price i think its great .. theres definetly better out there , but you start paying for it... As a first semi pro soundcard i think its great.. goodluck with it...

 

[Proveras]

thanx man, I have to pay it today,
the price is just for today...

does it really has MIDI in/out/thru???

relax-- the delta66 is widely selling for around $330, and the isis for $299 direct without any special sale.
but don't rush into it just to save $40.

i recently did a search for the cheapest thing and decided on the gadgetlabs wave/824 for $450. 24-bits, 8 tracks i/o, plus midi, low noise, and their support people were easy to reach. not true for guillemot. don't know about midiman. if you need only 4 channels, plus midi there's the wave/424 for $260.

BTW has anyone compared the 16-bit ISIS with anything 24-bit? how much difference does it make?

 

[Proveras]

yes, its better....


WAVE/824!!
Professional 24-bit
Digital Recording Interface.


this will be the one. forget about the other ones..

Doesn't the ISIS also have a MIDI wavetable synth?
