"Best non-protools interface out there, period."

Feature:
Packed with features. The fact it's a mixer, and its also an audio interface, and its also less than 300$. Features are of a basic mixer, but the firewire audio interface tops it all off.

Quality:
Well built. The knobs are a little bit too "smooth" like there isn't enough resistance against them. Besides that, its built like a rock.

Value:
BY FAR, BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK, out of any interface out there. there's USB interfaces that go for 200. Firewire interfaces usually start at around 500 and are usually around 1000$ for decent ones. For 300$ you get a mixer, and a firewire interface.

Desirability:
It makes any setup extremely versatile. Works will with PC and Mac. Design is basic, nothing spectacular but its definitely not a pain to the eye.

Sound:
Sound quality is flawless. Very transparent sound and there's basic 3 band EQ. Mic preamps are good. Very clean sound.

Ease of Use:
It's a mixer, and a very simple mixer at that. Nothing complicated here. Ease of firewire/computer integration is also very easy.

Support:
never had to use it

Overall:
Best non-protools interface out there, period.

"Great Deal"

Feature:
I love the Firewire. It's awesome. Tell me, where can you find a mixer with a firewire at this price? It's a steal.

Quality:
This product is very well made.

Value:
It's worth every penny.

Desirability:
It's not very sexy, but works like a champ.

Sound:
This is a great product. The sound quality is amazing.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to use if you read the directions first.

Support:
I called customer support during the installation of the product. A live human being answered the phone and assisted me. I was very impressed.

Overall:
I expect to have this product until it breaks.
