Echo Layla 3. GEcho's range of computer hardware has always been popular with musicians, and the company have now launched the 'third generation' of their Layla and Gina multi- channel audio and MIDI interfaces. John Walden. Photos: Mike Cameron. When it comes to selecting an audio interface for a computer- based recording system, musicians now have a bewildering choice. As outlined by Martin Walker in his November 2. For those seeking multi- channel audio, digital I/O and MIDI I/O in a single device, at the upper end of the market, the current crop of products is particularly tempting.

For example, in recent months SOS has looked at several Firewire- based units including the Digi 0. Rack, MOTU 8. 28 Mk.
II, RME Fireface and Yamaha i. X, all of which are very impressive. Of course, not everyone can justify spending £8. Fortunately, whether PCI, USB or Firewire- based, there is also a range of mid- priced products available that are snapping at the heels of their more expensive peers. Echo have always had a good reputation in this particular area, and their Gina, Layla and Mia devices have all received positive SOS reviews in the past.
Echo are now shipping the '3. G' (third- generation) versions of the Gina and Layla, priced at £3.
So how does the performance of the Layla 3. G, which on paper looks well specified, compare to its more expensive competitors? Specifications Summary. Eight analogue inputs: two Neutrik Universal connectors for balanced TRS or XLR and six balanced TRS connectors.
V phantom power on XLR inputs. Eight analogue outputs on balanced TRS connectors.
Nominal I/O level: +4d. Bu or - 1. 0d. BV (software configurable).
Converters: 1. 28x oversampling converters, 2. S/PDIF digital I/O: up to 2. ADAT digital I/O: 2. I/O over optical connection, 4. Hz and 4. 8k. Hz sample rates supported.
MIDI In and Out. Word clock I/O. Can sync to MTC (MIDI Time Code). Headphone output: high- quality quarter- inch headphone jack with volume control on front panel. On- board 5. 6- bit, 1. MHz Motorola DSP.
Near zero- latency hardware monitoring. Buss- mastering PCI host interface provides power to breakout box; 3. V and 5. V compatible.
Works with PCI- X and Power Mac G5. Quick Tour. In essence, the Layla 3. G is a PCI- based interface with a neat 1. U rackmounting breakout box, offering an eight- in/eight- out analogue configuration with additional digital I/O (a further eight channels of I/O using the ADAT connectivity). The front panel of the breakout box itself is rather minimalist in appearance, with just a power LED, two combi XLR/TRS inputs with input controls and three- stage LED metering, a phantom power switch and a headphone output with volume control. The XLR/TRS inputs are 'smart' and will automatically adjust for a line, mic or high- impedance input signal. Commendably, Echo provide a decent 1.
PCI card to the rack unit. This also supplies power so, thankfully, there is no wall- wart power supply to deal with. The Layla 3. G Console. The Layla 3. G Console.
The Layla 3. G Console. The rear of the unit contains all the other connectivity. This includes the other six balanced analogue inputs, eight balanced analogue outputs, stereo S/PDIF I/O (RCA or optical) or eight- channel ADAT optical I/O, word clock connectors and MIDI I/O. One further interesting feature is the two insert jacks, which function with the two front- panel inputs and allow external effects to be easily patched into these input channels. The lack of dedicated inserts on the majority of audio interfaces (and even many digital mixers) can be frustrating for those used to their availability on most analogue desks.
Audio interface manufacturers now seem to be addressing this — for example, Yamaha's i. X includes inserts — and it is very welcome to see them appearing in a mid- priced unit like the Layla 3. G. As well as the PCI card, breakout box and cable, Echo also supply a Quick Start Guide and a single CD. The latter contains all the drivers (both PC and Mac) and the full manual as a PDF. Unlike many manuals supplied with hi- tech computer equipment, this one is actually helpful. It includes a range of supplementary information on, amongst other things, the principles of digital audio, different driver types and surround sound. For the less experienced user, this would make interesting reading.
Also included within the package is Raw Material Software's Tracktion MIDI + Audio sequencer. Now marketed by Mackie, Tracktion was reviewed in SOS back in April 2. Extra Atracktion' box, interested readers could refer to the earlier review (available on- line at www. Installation of the Layla 3. G proceeded without a hitch. Once the drivers were installed on the Windows XP test system, the PCI card was simply slotted home, the breakout box connected and, on power- up, the PC found the Layla 3.
G and the necessary drivers with little user intervention required. Recommended System Requirements. PC: Windows Me, 2. XP, Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon CPU, motherboard with Intel, AMD, Via or NVIDIA chip set, 2. MB RAM (5. 12. MB recommended).
Mac: Mac OS 1. 0. G4 or better processor, 2. MB RAM (5. 12. MB recommended). Audio Performance. Given the very creditable performance of Echo's previous audio products, I was not surprised to find that the Layla 3.
G sounded very good indeed. Some basic listening tests using a range of commercial recordings, and performed via Sound Forge and Wavelab, demonstrated plenty of high- end detail and solid reproduction of the lows. Stereo imaging also seemed to be very good. These subjective comments were supported by more objective testing with Rightmark's Audio Analyser (5. Loopback tests at 1.
Hz gave noise levels of 9. B(A), total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.
B, all excellent figures. At 2. 4- bit/4. 4. Hz, these improved further to - 1. B(A), 0. 0. 00. 8 percent and 1. B respectively. Again, these are excellent figures, and the noise and stereo crosstalk readings only dropped by a couple of d.
B at 2. 4- bit/9. Hz. All other things being equal, and all other elements of the audio signal chain being taken due care of, I'd have no concerns about using the Layla 3. G for serious audio work. Ooh Ah, Just A Little Bit. If the Layla 3. G appeals, but you could manage with a two- in/six- out analogue configuration, then the Layla's little sister, the Gina 3. G, might fit the bill.
Aside from the reduced analogue I/O count and a smaller box, much of the functionality remains the same, including the two, phantom- powered, Neutrik Universal 'smart' connectors for balanced TRS or XLR on the front panel. The only other noticeable differences are the lack of word clock I/O on the Gina and a shorter (8- foot) cable to link the PCI card with the breakout box, and the £3. In Use. The Echo Console application is used to control the main functions of the interface. The key features of the Console are similar to those found in earlier versions (for example, the Indigo IO, reviewed in the April 2. Layla 3. G. The main screen is dominated by faders and meters for the eight analogue inputs. On the surface, this is all quite straightforward, but as only a single analogue output buss is displayed within the Console at any one time and different input channel monitoring settings are available for each analogue output buss, things can get a little more complex. Fortunately, the manual does a decent job of explaining this and, as you could use this feature to set up different input monitoring mixes for each of the analogue output pairs, it does provide considerable flexibility.
The user can toggle between the settings for each of the output busses via the buttons located mid- right of the window. Immediately above these, the Input Clock and Digital I/O formats can be selected. The Settings options include the channel delay screen for use with a surround monitoring system. The Settings options include the channel delay screen for use with a surround monitoring system.
The settings button opens up further options, all of which will be familiar to existing Echo users. These include setting the S/PDIF format, GSIF buffer size options (on the PC) and, usefully given the multi- channel outputs, the ability to set up channel delays to accommodate a surround- sound monitoring system. Conveniently, users can also save and load particular Console settings if they regularly use different configurations for different audio applications or tasks. Of course, audio quality is not the only requirement for a good audio/MIDI interface: driver stability, reliability and low latency are also required. Again, Echo have an enviable reputation in this area and the Layla 3.
G proved to be no exception. The performance of the ASIO and WDM drivers seemed both stable and efficient (I don't have Gigastudio on my test system, so couldn't evaluate the GSIF drivers). In both Cubase SX and Reason, I was able to get down to a buffer size of 2. CPU sweat even in a fairly busy arrangement. Lower settings also worked fine but, of course, generated higher CPU loads on the test PC and, frankly, given my keyboard skills (or lack of them!), I've never been that concerned about the difference between a 3ms or 6ms latency when using software synths. Playback and recording worked as expected within both Sound Forge and Wavelab.
I was also able to configure both SX and Acid Pro for 5. In testing, I experienced no problems at all with the hardware itself. In performing some routine recording tasks in SX, the analogue inputs and outputs behaved exactly as expected. I carried out my usual solo voice and acoustic guitar recordings via the front- panel mic preamps using a couple of different condenser microphones (one budget, one less so). Starting at 1. 6- bit, 4.
Hz, the results were extremely pleasing — clean and seemingly accurate — while moving to 2. I didn't notice any obvious further improvement when moving to a 9. Hz sample rate, and in truth, most people considering an audio interface in the £4. Recordings made via the line- level inputs 3- 8 were also clean and clear.
