The Swiss-Army knife of USB interfaces
3 of 3 found this helpful This is a very solidly built and versatile audio interface, ideal for home studio and professional audio capture. It is capable of recording up to 4 tracks at once, as long as you have your recording software set up correctly. Some people say you can't record 4 simultaneous tracks with the standard red EIE, but you can. I've done it. The included CuBase Lite 5 software isn't so hot, and the installation is the worst of any software I've encountered, (You have to sign up for a Steinberg account, download an e-key software package that registers the software with Steinberg, and it doesn't work very well.. Trust me, it's horrible.) so I'd recommend skipping it. I use Cockos Reaper for my multitrack recording needs, and it works beautifully with this interface, and the non-expiring trial version is free. (But you will want to buy it, because it is superb, and it's only $60.) Audacity also works for standard stereo recording, but doesn't support ASIO, so you won't get the low latency you need for home studio recording. This interface works with the standard ASIO4All driver, which is freely downloadable for almost any OS and easy to install, so if you get a used one with no driver CD, no worries. I have the red 16/44 version of the Akai EIE, which offers CD quality recording. The silver-finished EIE Pro offers hi-res 24/96 recording, but is otherwise identical in features and capability. One advantage of the standard red EIE is that a 16/44 signal takes a lot less computer horsepower to record than a 24/96 signal. If you're mutitrack recording, the extra necessary bandwidth can add up pretty quick and unless you have a very fast computer, it can cause hiccups. This, and the fact that I'm satisfied with CD quality recording is why I picked the EIE over the EIE Pro. The VU meters are a nice touch, but I think I would prefer to meter with the recording software unless you have level matched your interface to your computer. The rear panel of this unit offers a plethora of connection options, including channel inserts for adding outboard effects with all 4 channels, 4 audio outputs, MIDI for a controller, and 3 USB ports, which is very handy. There's nothing else anywhere close to this price that I've found that offers the versatility and quality of the EIE and EIE Pro. The folks who designed this thing really did their homework. I'd recommend it to virtually anyone looking for a quality interface for home studio or professional work.

An excellent dirt-cheap replacement for the M97xe, but a tight fit.
1 of 1 found this helpful After noticing some inner groove distortion on my low-hours OEM stylus that was not due to a misalignment, I decided to take a gamble on the Pfansteil 4771-DE. There are a couple of things abouth this stylus you should know: 1) It's a TIGHT fit, but it will work. Just be careful and don't brute-force it. And 2) Because this stylus is much lighter weight than the original stylus, you will need to re-balance the arm to get it set up correctly. The sound quality is quite good. Not as bass-heavy as the original, and more highs, it's neutral, detailed and clean sounding. And it's an excellent tracker. This was a cheap fix, and much more bang for your buck than the original stylus. This one is also hyper-elliptical, which is very unusual in this price range. I may pick up a couple more in case it becomes unavailable.

Great inexpensive lights for DJs and musicians
These are a great replacement for standard PAR 36 cans. They're bright, programmable, lightweight, small and generate no heat. I plan on buying more to replace the rest of my PARs. Superb value!
