Sound: This is my best audio interface i have ever had. For the past three months i have changed around five of them. This one has the best converters out of all (the list includes TC, RME & MOTU). Now i have to re-do certain tracks, cause it sounds like: "what in the world was i listening with?!". Answer: Another interface.. Feature: Mine was bought used so i got it wrapped up in a plastic bag. I wish i have seen all the additional features that get boxed with a brand new unit. Im a straight mac user, but if i have to run windows based software (like cubase) i get stuck since ensemble is mac only platform. Ease of Use: It is all very simple, but i have had some troubles figuring out how to use the maestro matrix correctly. Seems like this one differs from how the RME's matrix thing works. Hopefully i would be able to find how to route the same signal out of two separate stereo pairs.. Quality: It has a sexy look that reminds me of extraterrestrial technologies. Intergalactic.. Bright lights. That sort! Makes my studio look impressive :) Value: A little pricey, but all good with mine. I got a used unit with a discount. Manufacturer Support: By giving "10" i simply state that i believe that the support matches the overall score of the unit (which is "10") The Wow Factor: I think ive stated the sexiness of the unit before. I still cant fully realize its right beside me in the rack! Overall: This saves me money on the converter. In fact i will shortly be selling one that i used before, before i got this piece. It does not have a built-in midi i/o, but seems to be integrated with mac platform. Becomes like a soundpiece already within your mac. The volume from the keyboard also works. Thats it by now. I own it for about a week or less.

Sound: You wont be dissapointed.....Clear and crisp Feature: I rated 9 because Apogee and logic could have done more to give you instant access to the ensemble....Perhaps a button on the arrange to bring up the audio window Ease of Use: Actually this is very easy to use....It may be a little hard to install but i got mine over a year ago so I assume support is better now Quality: Quality is great but mine doesnt move...This is for the home studio and the home studio alone Value: In this price range it is great.. Manufacturer Support: Unknown The Wow Factor: Sleek Overall: Ill be satisfied till I have enough $ to build my studio further. Def the sound I get is high quality. If you dont have the money you can try the duet...I think its all the same parts at a 1/4 of the price
