It won’t work." The above statement is ***absolutely and completely wrong*** I suggest people look elsewhere for recording advice HTH ;-) “Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever, ever, under any circumstances try to do multi-track recording without ASIO driver implementation.

I bought the UA-1G because of your review. My experience with it so far (basically 1 day) has been fantastic. It is everything you said it was and the LE software included with it made this an incredible buy. After about an hour of hacking around with the UA-1g and the software I was able to record tracks with ease. The only thing I would remind users of this is when you select the UA-1G as your sound card you have to close the program and restart it for the changes to take effect (at least I did before I could hear out of the phones jack and get levels in the software). I haven't tried anything with midi yet but am looking forward to it. I think I might buy the UM-1G for the midi. Anyway thanks for the review you hit the nail right on the head.

The overall build and design looks good also. I am looking for a USB DAC with headphone output that is capable to drive either AKG K 701 or Sennheiser HD650 headphones. Do you think UA-1G is good enough (within its price context) for listening to WAV files from my laptop? Many thanks for any advice.

I am using it to do multitrack recording on an ASUS eeepc 1000H netbook. One problem I had with sonar 6LE was that it defaulted to mme and I wanted asio drivers. If you have this problem go to this link and down load the application it refers to. It sorted it out for me. http://z8.invisionfree.com/GAPers/index.php?showtopic=82 Would also recommend that you try the amp sim without a cabinet and then load up cabinet impulses in a free impulse loader like Kefir, Le Pou or Voxengo Boogex. Lots of great free impulses to be had out there. This is a great product. I am using it to do multitrack recording on an ASUS eeepc 1000H netbook.

As you say, it seems more geared towards interfacing a guitar than a keyboard, yet when I look up some keyboards, I start seeing other components and software that people use as well, which leads to more research and head scratching! But, you started me thinking about this, and it is a great article, so thank you.
