Excelente Tarjeta de Sonido para Estudio

Denis Granan 27.01.2026

Muy fan del flujo de trabajo de Universal Audio. Permite tener una monitorización en tiempo real sin latencia similar a la de una HDX de protools pero por una fracción del precio y mucho más abierto / modular.

Si tuviera que pedir algo es que en vez de essential fuera paquete studio
