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.
