Roland Quad Capture Interface Review

by Clarence Williams from Belen New Mexico USA
May 4, 2012
Music Background: Professionel Producer/Recording Engineer
Have only used my quad capture a few times since receiving it, But I am blown away by the sound of my produced tracks, very clean & noise free, even using unblanced patch cables out of my mixer, thru... read more [+] the Quad Capture into my DAW. I was looking at another interface, but my sales rep, Bob Furlong asked me to try the Quad capture & told me I would have to have very good ears or speakers to tell any difference & he was RIGHT!!! Set Up was a snap, took less than 5 minutes to set everthing up & I was up & running. My Sweetwater Sales Rep is the BEST!!!!! Thanks Bob!!!!! close [-]

Best so far after trying 5 other brands

I have used Zoom H4N , Presonus Firebox & 4x4 USB , Line6 UX1 & M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
This Roland audio interface beats them all hands down for durability , ASIO reliability and sound capture... read more [+] quality. The mic pre-amps work wonderfully even with power hungry condenser mics (unlike the M-Audio Fast Track <--Shame on you M-Audio).
The driver installation on my Windows 7 Professional 64bit laptop was effortless. The SENS feature is great for avoiding clipping better than doing it by ear. So far I have explored the mic , guitar & midi features of this unit with my Roland GI-20 guitar synth , and there have been no hiccups nor disappointments.
It was a toss up between this Roland Quad & the Komplete Audio 6 from Native Instruments , but the Roland won since it was immediately available (not on extended back order). close [-]

Great Interface

by Faron Collins from Dallas,Texas
February 8, 2012
Music Background: Musician
This interface was a replacement for a firewire unit that had some major issues with drivers for 64bit. I had owned a Roland interface before so I knew that it was very stable and a perfect match for ... read more [+]Sonar software. I bought this mainly for stability and wasn't expecting much in the way really good features, but this is packed with them. First off it has a built in gate and compressor, the gate is great for knocking down low level background noises and the compressor is good for a slight compression during the recording process. The default setting is light and doesn't squash the signal flat of dynamics. It does have threshold, ratio, attack, release and gain knobs in the on screen control panel so you can tweak the gate and compressor to your liking. Two features that really make this unit stand out among other units this price are the Auto Sens and the VS preamps. The VS preamps are dead quiet even with a very sensitive tube condensor mic hooked up there is no noise with sensible level settings. And for the settings this is where the Auto Sens comes in. Sing or play a section at the volume you'll be recording with the AS engaged and then click the AS button again to lock the setting automaticly adjusted to -12db.....easy no bumping up and down the sens knob trying to get a proper level. The advantage of -12db is headroom and not overdriving the preamps by having the levels too hot. But you can always set them manually or bump it up a bit hotter if you like but the AS works great and is a time saver especially if you are doing double duty in a homestudio. It dosen't come with an optical connection but it does have a coaxial I/O to send digital signals to near field monitors and such as well as MIDI I/O.
It comes boxed with Sonar X-1 LE which I didn't use because I have Sonar X-1 Producer Expanded but the drivers are rock solid with Windows 7 64bit and perfectly mated to the Sonar software. close [-]

Better than TC-BMC2

by Grabar Alma from Seul, Corea del sur

Music Background: Producer/Mixing Engineer
1. AD/DA: more transparent tham TC-BMC-2.
very accurate and sterilized sound.
especially on percussive things.

2. Build Quality: milita... read more [+]ry grade / sturdy

3. Easy of use: very logical and easy to install.

4. Muy Fuerte en CLIP. When you drive input of line signal as you want to record master output to input, there is no audible distortion even if the input level signal LED hit the RED!!

5. VSTi midi sequencing and recording with AKAI LPD8 / KORG MICRO KEY is fantastic. No latency at buffer 64 or 128

I really recommend this product. close [-]

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
