Feature:
I wish it had more controls and the eq section sounds good but is almost useless to me. Joe meek 3q has better features, but it's compressor is just too colored for my needs, and I wanted focusrite quality. The power supply connector alone is incredible in this unit, far better than any competition (screws onto the back of the trakmaster!).

Quality:
unbelievable build quality. but I don't like the easy to turn knobs, too easy in my opinion, and the switches don't excite me either, I actually prefer alesis controls to these, but the unit itself is built like a tank otherwise.

Value:
best value for your money that's out there these days, even better than meek, m-audio, ART and studio projects products that I have all used professionally before this in my search for the ultimate inexpensive channel strip.

Desirability:
great looking, focusrite name, nuff said.

Sound:
The Trakmaster sounds very very good, easily the quietness and sound quality of a professional set of tools, definitely stands up to the focusrite name and heritage. While this unit doesn't have an input transformer so it's mic pre is very clean and sterile, that is a good thing for this type of unit. IT actually imparts a bit of warmth on the tone that something like my grace 101 doesn't have, and I tried a m-audio dmp-3 as well and prefer to tone of this pre to the dmp-3, although that's purely a matter of taste, they're both very good but a little different is all. Hard to explain, but it seems to be in the way that the trakmaster accentuates the best sound of even the least expensive microphones, dynamic condensor and even ribbon (it has a special ribbon low impedence mode!). It just works better and sounds more like the tone I wanted (uncolored but musical).

Ease of Use:
easiest to use channel strip I've used out of 6 or 7 other models over the years.

Support:
don't know yet, haven't needed it.

Overall:
just get one, don't even think about it.
