Full 24bit 96kHz support - real 4in/ 4out PCI Digital Recording Interface (with optional MIDI)







AUDIOTRAK MAYA44 MKII is a total solution for today's high-resolution multi-track hard disk recording and playback. You would be amazed by its powerful and rich features MAYA44 MKII offers. MAYA44 MKII will satisfy beginners who just entering the world of digital audio, DJs using the PC audio systems, and music production professionals who produce music at his/her professional level with its power usage and reasonable budget.

4 IN 4 OUT 24BIT/96KHZ AUDIO INTERFACE

As an evolution of the computer system continuously growing, a digital audio system now is much common in use. With MAYA44 MKII, you can make a complete set-up of the DTMP (Desktop Music Production) system on your station very easily. MAYA44 MKII would be the center of your DTMP system providing high quality of sound that can be compared to that of a professional studio, and a good guide to the world of digital pro audio music and multimedia market.
Inheriting all the favorable configuration of original MAYA44 PCI digital audio interface, now the revamped MAYA44 MKII has 24bit/96kHz real DAC and ADC, internal mixer(as well as DirectWIRE virtual router), and advanced control panel for precise level metering. The new MAYA44 MKII also supports MI/ODI/O optional add-on card for digital input and MIDI interface. With more powerful 120mW headphone amp and stable ICE controller chipset in the optimal design, MAYA44 MKII is still the most valuable digital audio interface for your desktop music production.

E-WDM driver and DirectWire support
AUDIOTRAK'S E-WDM DRIVER - Broad Compatibility, Access to Professional Audio Tools

Current software driver technology limits audio cards to processing only the audio streams delivered from Microsoft's WDM driver to the audio hardware. AUDIOTRAK's engineers developed E-WDM enhanced drivers that break the boundaries of the Microsoft WDM kernel's processing limitations. AUDIOTRAK's E-WDM drivers leverage the power of today's CPUs to apply virtual sounds and effects in real time to audio streams - just like the pros do it - within the E-WDM driver level. E-WDM drivers provide Audiotrak's MAYA44 MKII card broad compatibility with professional quality tools (WDM, ASIO 2.0, GSIF, and more) and the ability to exceed professional latency levels.

AUDIOTRAK'S DirectWIRE feature
- Record Any Audio Source, Route Digital Audio Streams Without Wires

Audiotrak's DirectWIRE is a new driver technology that routes audio internally within applications for recording or processing using varied audio drivers like WDM, ASIO, GSIF, MME and others. DirectWIRE is a router that allows the simultaneous routing of audio streams and also allows the user to record from one application to another without any loss of audio streaming data in real-time.

Professional digital recording - DTMP
Audiotrak's MAYA44 MKII adopts the new 'E-WDM' driver model which provides a superior data processing performance and most compatibility. The E-WDM driver will work at its best in multi-track hard disk recording. MAYA44MKII is compatible with popular multi-track recording software such as Cakewalk SONAR, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, plus mastering software like Sound Forge and Wavelab. Also MAYA44 MKII works with software samplers like Logic Audio EXS 24, Halion, and GIGAStudio, and Virtual Instruments like Reason and Reaktor.

DirectWIRE
E-WDM drivers for Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP and support for Multiple MME, Multiple DirectSound, ASIO 2.0 and GigaStudio.

da quando a CIOCE interessano le schede PCI ?
Io pensavo si potevano testare solo quelle USB.

AUGH ! ! !

si cioce ti confermo che e' una scheda che circola da un paio d'anni.
nel negozio a Torino l'aveva...se vuoi mi informo?

infatti
non ho voluto infierire sullo stato degli aggiornamenti
di un amico che da sempre segnala le anteprime piu' appetibili,
ma questo scheda, come del resto un vasto assortimento
di prodotti dello stesso tipo, di tutte le piu' blasonate marche,
e' stata recensita su una rivista del settore (CubaseMgazine)
nel lontano 2004.

Non ho mai voluto affrontare l'argomento delle schede Audio interne
su questo sito, dove tutti cercano di aprofittare dei vantaggi di PC portatili
e i nuovi prodotti di questo settore
mirano in particolare all'esasperata tecnologia del Digital-Recording,
ma se guardiamo i cataloghi di ogni costruttore
(M-Audio, Alesis, Yamaha, e numerosi altri)
ci ritroviamo una marea di dispositivi, tutti da prestazioni fantascientifiche.
Noi ci Mixiamo gli MP3,
ma tanti altri operatori dell'audio digitale, usano queste schede
per produrre MUSICA e non solo, a tutti i livelli.
E' facile imbattersi in schede con 8 ingressi e 42 uscite,
con processori DSP integrati, con latenza ugguale a 0
(avete letto bene: ZERO)
con frequenze di di campionamento da 192 Khz,
risoluzione a 48bit, effetti gestiti da DSP hardware,
intiere Patc-Way su unita' esterne da RACK19'',
senza parlare poi delle connessioni-gestioni MIDI
e dei segnali digitali SPDF, ottici e multicanale 7+1.

E' un mondo tanto interessante, affascinante, quanto molto particolare,
ma che non mi sembra proponibile nella nostra situazione
di DisckJockeyDigitali.
Alcuni prodotti possono fare al caso nostro,
tra cui quello dedicato a questo topic,
per tanti altri marchingeni megatecnologici
degni di un investimento industriale
mi sembra perlomeno superfluo solo parlarne.
Confonderebbe ancora piu' le idee
a tutti quei novizi del PC-Mixing
che hanno gia' problemi a configurare una MK2.

AUGH ! ! !
