9 out of 10
Feature:
Cubase LE doesn't last long so I bought another recording software (Magix Music maker 12) and perfectly works out well.
Quality:
The best thing is made out of metal and not space constraining. But technology is expanding , can they make it more smaller! LOL!
Value:
The typical price is just nice for my budget... for a good sound quality
Desirability:
The design & use of IEEE is good, although if they can still improve more on the Mic 2... you'll found out too if you have one.
Sound:
I find the sound quality impress me especially recording my acoustic guitar, I also hooked my keyboard on the line-in and plugged my electric guitar directly to the balance XLR, just nice. For a low budget demo recording , the inspire works well. One good thing is that it use IEEE Connections which is has a faster transfer rate compare to USB, cool!
Ease of Use:
At first I find it too depressing because I had a built i sound card in my desktop and mess up the drivers and later find out that when the inspire drivers are installed I don't need to have my old sound card and have to disabled it for good and it works out just fine.
Support:
So far so good , no servicing maybe at this moment...
Overall:
There are lots of interface you can buy but for the price range & sound quality , presonus will totally be an inspire.

Feature:
the latency is always an issue...I deal with the 2 ms, but still hate it ...I use the "control room out to headphone mixer aux in" trick to avoid it...and my computer is almost state of the art...what gives?
Quality:
Box is heavy...and clean...no moving parts...cool.
Value:
great value
Desirability:
It's hardware my wife doesn't understand...
Sound:
The sound is very transparent. All the outputs (I use all 3 - speaker, line, and headphone) are as clean as your power supply will let them be.
The preamps don't offer a lot of gain, I get around it by using a dedicated mixer to feed the line inputs in stereo...very clean, and good headroom. The software is bone-simple to use, and the ability to pin the small interface to the desktop allows real flexibility in gain structure and for its use as a output selector...I use phones about 1/2 the time...always, for recording.
It's built well (heavy is good), an if you don't rip the cables out of it like a madman, the connectors seem ok...might be different if your going mobile...my partner and I bought 2 Firepods, and rackmounted them for that purpose.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use...although for the novice, remember to change your soundcard preferences to the Inspire for all you audio...then your cheapo internal card won't have a mental breakdown... LOL
Support:
No need, but did download a upgrade for the Firepods that worked like a charm...wish I could say the same for Nero...they've been doggin' me for weeks...oh sorry, wrong forum
Overall:
I'll use it till it dies...which could be a very long time...
