Feature:
It is the first product I ever purchased that actually came with a USB cord. I think it has good features for the price.

Quality:
It is well made for the price range but time will tell.

Value:
It is well worth the selling price. I have it for two weeks now and am over the initial learning curve and have actually finished a six song project for a client with this unit.

Desirability:
I don't care about looks. I care about function, durability price and the enclosed free software. This unit meets my needs.

Sound:
I am using this product with the SONAR LE that it came with. The soft synth sounds could be a bit better, but overall I am very pleased.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use once you learn your way around it.

Support:
I have delt with sound cards and Cakewalk for over ten years but I hit some issues with the unit and got caught in the middle as Edirol and Cakewalk each blammed the other. Edirol is fine but Cakewalk's customer service is not as good as in years past.

Overall:
I think more inputs that could be used at the same time would be a nice add-on but that may also shoot the price way up so you have to accept the balance.

Feature:
The various plug ins are not what they appear. Although there is an xlr plug, a 1/4 inch switched guitar/mic plug and an 1/8 inch mic plug they are all run off of the guitar/mic volume control. only one can be operated at a time, the default being the switched guitar mic plug. This means I have to run any other equipment through the stereo inputs on the rear with another mixer. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a variety of mic inputs.

Quality:
Plastic but well built. I own an ederol r1 that is built out of the same stuff and it has held up on the road for over 2 years.

Value:
Good value. I just wish that the operations were made a little clearer in the description. It appears to do a lot more than it actually does

Desirability:
Practical addition

Sound:
Excellent sound

Ease of Use:
easy interface. a little trouble with driver recognition. Works better with sound forge that with Sonar software.That may be my own learning curve though. I have been editing with Sound Forge for several years.

Support:
no experience

Overall:
I am already having to add to the input side, only 1 day after receiving it. If the description was clearer I would have purchased an interface with a built in mixer.

Feature:
You get Sonar LE free and some plug ins.. both are v useful.. no real need to buy other recording software. just plug in and play USB style.

Quality:
Not that solid as it's made from plastic. fine for on road use, just take care of it like a new born :)

Value:
good value. free software. does what i need it to.

Desirability:
aethetic wise it's good/cool. great design/layout everything clearly labelled. the only downer is that it's not made out of metal.

Sound:
the best you can get for this price.. excellent features.. pre-amp.. 24/96.. sounds fine to me :)

Ease of Use:
everything is clearly labelled. Instructions are great. more helpful than previous interfaces eg Tascam us122. There's a range of effects built in the edirol.. they all sound good.. u can always tweak the sound in SONAR if your a little unhappy.

Support:
i couldn't get the edirol to record 24 bit in Sonar LE so i contacted both Edirol and Sonar. They both replied to my email 2 days later in a friendly manner helping me solve the problem. no worries at all.

Overall:
couple of years maybe.. i'm sure i will still be using it though.
