How anyone can write, that would be noise is beyond me. The thing rushes in each channel from about 8/10 of the gain controller (there's nothing connected that can be taken up nicely). I can understand the genius of this noise just do not understand, because what I have an input for receiving, with receiving the rustles a noise just like that. I'll give it to yes - my use of this interface is somewhat artentfremded, suspended between turntable and computer (yes, an additional PhonoPreAmp is also there). There are now boards, there's just a lot of it - even some with well over 25mins per side. They are then mostly very quiet and since I need juice. I've had this machine, but just a wonderful noise. So I would just not believe such a recording only some give. First, I naturally thought that may indeed be just a production error - it is but apparently not, something is considered normal noise. Stupid as I am, I wonder just why I can turn up in the house the whole level and I can not hear anything in my total 3 preamplifiers, no noise? I do not get it. So audio interfaces are not for me. The Sound Blaster's not the point, because the amplifiers are much too weak, so what now - even a pre-amplifier or a mixer? Or in other words, for the intended purpose, the gain is too weak, so I'll be in the area with noise. Addendum: So - I can not calm the whole and I understand it time. The noise is 65dB (signal to noise ratio or signal to noise ratio when I so halfway buckle), from there we go. No wonder I have difficulties here - CD has 96dB, the preamplifier 100 or more. So I raise to 3 points, is still problematic for my abnormal use, for micro, guitar etc. like it well be super - when full power is so and so never needed, then it also has no problem.
