    I've been using the EMU 1212 with Sonar for a few weeks now. I'm very new to the world of audio recording but have no complaints about it and even had some friends say they've been really impressed with how clear everything sounds.

    I've got one for a couple of months now with EmulatorX, and I'm impressed with its capabilities. But it's WDM drivers are scetchy so you got to use it with ASIO drivers.
    It has low latency and there is also hardware no latency monitoring ability, if you can figure out the DSP patchmix There're some useable onboard DSP FX as well

    I should have mentioned in my post above, but will agree to what burak said. I'm also using the ASIO drivers b/c of some trouble with WDM and the patchmix takes some work but isn't too bad.

    how did you get the ASIO Drivers to work? I select ASIO in the audio dialog, and the drivers are grayed out

    thanks!

    I got this is from Cakewalk....
     
    EMU Audio Interface setup for Cakewalk software
     
    First, you will need to enable ASIO outputs in the EMU PatchMix application.  This is a software program that is included with EMU hardware. EMU offers a tutorial for setting up Patchmix with SONAR that you can download here. Additionally we have written a tip on configuring PatchMix with SONAR that you can read here.
    Click Options | Audio | Advanced.  Set your Driver Mode to ASIO.  Click OK and restart the program. 
    Next, Click Options | Audio:
    On the Drivers tab:
    Make sure your EMU interface is selected under both inputs and outputs.  If it appears grayed out, deselect all drivers first then select your EMU interface.  If changes are made, click OK and restart the program. 
    On the general tab:
    Make sure one of your EMU interface drivers is selected as Playback Timing master.  Click OK.  Restart the program if prompted. 

    Finally, all audio playback will occur from the EMU interface itself.  Make sure you hook speakers or headphones hooked to its outputs.

    I've had the 1212m for about two years. Although it's the only interface I've had, I haven't had a problem with it really and it sounds pretty clean to me. Patchmix does take a while to get your head around it. There was an article in Sound on Sound a while back that did a great job of explaining how to use it.

    This is commom with some cards. Sometimes one driver mode will work way better than the other. Its no biggie. Both modes do the same thing and both modes xcan achieve low enough latency for input monitoring
