"Very Nice preamp"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm an older guy who recorded on tape forever, and put off the DAW thing as long as possible, but it recently became a necessity. I have been pretty phobic about trying a nice usb interface such as this one because you never have to look very long to find complaints about driver issues with certain preamps, so I stuck with a cheep one until now. Not having enough inputs for what I was doing, I ordered this one from zZounds and it's a real champ. There were a few momentary issues with driver installation (which put my heart up into my throat), but the software corrected itself and it works and sounds great. The mix interface is easy to work with, and makes control so much easier than my cheep preamp. A very nice piece of equipment!
