Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a high quality interface *for the price* and works well with Cubase, GarageBand and Live. The preamps are neutral, and it has enough inputs and outputs to serve as a decent interface for live tracking/recording for a project/home studio with a small band. This is intended as a desktop/home/project studio device, not a professional setup, and I'm reviewing it keeping that in mind.
The good:
- Neutral preamps
- Bundled Cubase LE, EZDrummer give you everything you need for a basic project DAW setup.
- 8 inputs, which can be easily paired to give you stereo inputs if you so desire (of course, if you're using all stereo, you end up with only 4 stereo inputs).
- SPDIF in/out
- Two headphone outs so you can monitor/mix/master easily
- Easy controls, pretty much plug-and-play.
- Small footprint makes it ideal for a desktop / small project studio.
- XLR/TRS combo jacks for all 8 inputs
The bad:
- Moderate latency. You can (and should) set the driver to high-speed mode and grant the application highest priority in Windows if you're monitoring processed audio. Personally, I record dry tracks and mix later
- If you want a true hardware mixer and/or EQ so that you can set up a good live mix to monitor, this isn't the interface for you.
- No XLR outs -only TRS (why?!)
Other things to note:
- If you use 64-bit Windows, they've released updated drivers on their website, which you should download and install before doing anything else. The 32-bit drivers do not work and will make your computer crash early and often.
