 An excellent buy for the money, though it has one major sticking point- Jul 28, 2005
By Jeff C

The card itself is wonderful. For what you pay, you get true 24/96, full ASIO support, 4 ins and 4 outs (depending on how you use them)and a whole bunch of professional level features. What kept me from giving it five stars however, is the audio utility that comes with the card. Maybe it's just me, but the Patchmix program is, for lack of a better term, awful. I won't delve into it too much, as you can read the reviews elsewhere for yourself, but suffice it to say, the program is just WAY to complicated for what you need. There's all kinds of channel routing, mixing, and FX options, layered into a very involved interface. I find this whole thing rather unnecessary, as anyone buying this card probably already has some sort of audio mixing/editing/FX program installed or ready to install. This makes the Patchmix program nearly useless in many respects (I haven't even needed to tweak with the thing once in over a year.) What it does succeed in doing though, is locating one more overblown piece of software on my computer that takes control of various settings, and has crashed my computer on several occasions.
That aside, the card itself is (as I've said) wonderful, and I chose it over its comparitively priced 2496 competitor for numerous reasons. I just hope that, down the road, E-MU releases some sort of "lite" audio interface utility -- without all the faults of Patchmix.

Great card for the price! Mar 26, 2011
By ALo
This is a powerful card that's paired with very powerful software. If you've used a physical mixer before, you'll probably catch right on. Otherwise, the software can be daunting. However it worked for me right out of the box, which was great, as I was able to figure out the software at my pace. The card puts out very good, balanced sound and has a great selection of inputs and outputs both physical and digital. You can output to 32 asio channels which is very versatile.
All in all this card does exactly what I need, for the best price I've found.

 Great pro-am-music card Nov 09, 2006
By Sniperrus
I bought this card for my girlfriend, who's a musician. We sut it up on her massively outdated PII 700. It worked great, the software that came with it ran fine on a system that slow. It was a bit slow at times, but fine. She finally upgraded the machine, and I moved the card to the new one, and it's just a dream.
E-Mu 404 Professional Audio Creation Tool Feb 23, 2012
By Joseph B. Ennis
These are good, the older ones are better than the newer ones. Comes bundled with good software. E-Mu does good hardware and sometimes good software, whatever they build sounds good.
Get this if you're looking for a PCIe soundcard with MIDI Feb 01, 2012
By Kevin B.
I was a little skeptical at first, since there are multiple reviews that claim incompatibility with Windows 7; once I got it installed, however (on x64), my worries were gone. The card installed smoothly, and comes with a ton of optional software bundled inside. It's worth noting that the included The Waldorf Edition won't install on Windows 7.
Included with the drivers is a sound manager/mixer utility with effects built right in. The sound card processes all effects on its own hardware, maintaining the extremely low-latency input/output while outputting from the EMU utility. You can even use it to receive outputs from from or send inputs to ASIO or Windows WAV channels, making the whole process extremely flexible. Send your inputs to ASIO and then use a separate utility like Fruity Loops to record or process the signal, then do whatever you want from there. This card is highly recommended.
