Great Value Recording Card

Echo drivers are stable and have great latency. Audio quality is exceptional. If you only need 2 balanced analog ins (+spidif I/O), then this is the card for you.

I have previously owned Echo "flagship" Mona24 interface and audio is same high quality. If you record alone and dont need more than 4 inputs, this is the card to get. Save your money and buy better preamps.

The Mia Midi seems like a nice card, has pretty good specs on it, i would like it except for a few small things. First of all...the midi doesnt work, now it could just be a defect in the card or another defect in my system somewhere but i had a sound expert friend check everything and it is his conclusion that it is the sound card. I would expect a card especially made for midi to have a little more in its manual about midi but what does that matter anyways. my next problem is that when recording, i have to sample at 48,000 Hz instead of 44.1 because if i dont, the sound turn out all weird sounding. when i use the inputs in wdm mode instead of purewave mode it also causes weird things to happen. also just as a sidenote, the breakout box cord should have been much longer, it will stretch from the back of your computer to about halfway to the front (as you can tell by the picture). in my setup, that is almost as inconvenient as having it on the clear back fo the computer. In my opinion, there is a good chance is it better on a different person's computer but in my experience it isn't worth it and now i cannot return it because it falls under the nonreturnable items. good price but in this case the good price did not negate the fact that the money was still wasted. My sound specialist friend suggested one of the emu cards to me instead. so, it would have been agreat card had all the features worked for me. oh and by the way, i sent an email about my problem to echo audio's tech support about 2 weeks ago and have not gotten any word back.

Very good mid range audio card for recording.

This audio card is a very good mid-range card. The only reason I call it mid-range is the fact that other, more expensive cards offer more features. This is a very good card with very low latency for both audio and midi. This is a great card for beginners and is highly recommended from the folks at extremetech. Good purchase.

I bought this soundcard when a DJ recommended it to me when I mentioned that I was looking for a good soundcard. Overall, the response of the soundcard is great. It's easy to install and easy to use, and you can start using it as soon as the installation is done. The quality is AMAZING. I can't recommend this soundcard enough!
