"Oops. Retraction of previous negative comment."

Feature: This is just another USB 24-bit stereo audio/MIDI interface, but it is thoughtfully designed, most of the jacks/ports on one side and the preamps on the other. It has powered mic preamps,coaxial SPDIF, supports balanced line 1 and 2, has effect inserts and pads to adjust dB: everything you need if you are multitracking solo, all in one place. It

"Steinberg Cubase Mi4 - If you are a masochist"

Sound: Bad recording crackling noises, every damn instrument I tried sounds like crap. Heard Digidesign MBox 2 works and sounds lot better. Feature: Must admit the on-screen panel is a great feature, once your material is plugged in. No hassles with cables. Ease of Use: Installation was hell... bad drivers uncompatible with tiger. Why the hell did you ship me an uncompatible version? Does Steinberg think everybody's gonna downgrade to panther to fix bugs? Samplerate clock problems, huge latency, crackling noises, I've had my mi4 for a month now and still haven't been able to record anything yet. Ordered a Sl2 to Sl3 update (since only Sl3 is compatible with tiger, but they shipped me SL2)... now I got to pay an extra 100 bucks and wait another 3 weeks to fully use my mi4. Rip-off. Don't buy this. Go with Mbox2 instead. Quality: Built quality seems great, a truck could run over it and still it would work... Value: If everything worked as it was told to, this would definitely be a kick-ass product. But because of all the problems I've had, I have to say it caused me more problems than pleasure. Manufacturer Support: BAAAAAAD support... this is crazy, steinberg totally sucks when it comes to customer support... replies to my e-mail took about a day and a half.... which is forever when you have a major issue with your brand new material. The Wow Factor: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, unless you are a masochist. Overall: Bad experience, huge deception. Now I've got the problem to return it and wait another few days to buy something else. I'm looking for a Mbox2 for sure, everything I've read about it and everyone I know that own one are fully satisfied.
