"Finally a USB Mixer that can compete it's Firewire cousins"

Feature:
This USB 2.0 mixer has all of the features of it's firewire cousin - but the convenience of USB. (The original USB models only sent the 2 channel mix to the computer. This one sends all channels to the computer and returns the 2 channel mix) Only thing keeping it from a 10 is the absence of a mute and a solo button. Other than that I love it

Quality:
Seems pretty durable, although I willbe keeping an eye on the knobs. I didn't like the sliders on a Multimix Firewire 16 that I got to try. One thing though...This sucker gets hot. I mean HOT! and quick. It also takes a long time to cool. I am definitely sure to turn it off when I'm done. I don't know how the heat would affect a LONG session.

Value:
I think it's a good deal. I was torn between this and the Multimix Firewire 12 (they are the same price right now). I just don't want to use Firewire. So I bought this for convenience, but I think that all-in-all the Multimix Firewire 12 is the better choice value-wise.

Desirability:
Anyone who thinks a mixer is sexy has real issues. It's functional, it's laid out well. It's a mixer. It's not ugly. I don't really know what to say here.

Sound:
Be careful with the gain knobs. They are quiet up to about 85%, then WHOA! Other than that it sounds great.

Ease of Use:
It's pretty straightforward. Easy to use as stand alone or as a multichannel ASIO enabled USB I/O. 100 effects aren't labelled. You know what "group" you are in, but not the specific program. Not a big deal, just noting it.

Support:
I haven't had to call or email support. But, they get a 7 because their website *STILL* (as of the writing of this review) does not have the drivers for this mixer posted. I read somewhere that it doesn't need drivers. It does. Well if you want ASIO and near zero latency monitoring (and you do) it does. Do not lose the CD.

Overall:
I would definitely recommend this to a small recording shop, home studio, or enthusiast. It does function well as a stand-alone - but for the price you are really paying for the USB 2.0 interface. I highly recommend it.
