Feature:
I love the way it handles. I wish that it came with all of the XLR cables, and other cables that it can handle. The word clock cables need to be added along with ADAT cables and wires. You have to purchase everything but the power supply. So buy the accessories before going home to hook it up.

Quality:
This control surface is constructed strong. I have no problems with it yet. Only had it for about 8 months though.

Value:
For the price this is. It is an offer that you can't refuse.

Desirability:
Its great but some people want it to match everything else such as black or woodgrain etc.

Sound:
I am using a beringe compressor/limiter with a Samsun CO1 Condensor 48V phantom powered mic connected to my daw Sonar 7 Producer edition and Pro-Tools M-Powered. It works wonders in my studio which is located seperately from my home. It responds excellent to my system. It intergrate easily with Reason 4.0 also which is not listed. Midi Works seemingless through it. The play in the XLR's is a little scary but I have no problems with it. I love all of the controls and I am still learning them by heart. If you do not have a good memory of using these Knobs then don't use it. It does not explain everything that it can do. I wouldn't trade it in the world. Only if I could at some more tracts to this product then it would be great. 8 mic inputs are not enough.

Ease of Use:
It is easy to use once you get it going good. I had to go into the presets and un mute the unbalanced cable plug ins. If you don't then you won't hear anything.

Support:
Couldn't tell you. I have not called them yet.

Overall:
I will continue with this product because I can see the standards for this product is very high already.

Feature:
getting automated faders of this quuality combined with 8 pre-amps plus the hardware controls for running fast recording workflow is awsome. Time is money and this unit gives all the benefits of saving time on mixdown,mastering etc etc without spending an arm and a leg.

Quality:
The faders may not be the best but they are a pro level quality so I'll knock a point off

Value:
All this for 1300$,its a steal

Desirability:
Clean,professional looking gear.

Sound:
Same great sound as with Delta 1010's that I have used for a while on my desktop.

Ease of Use:
Easiest set-up of any unit I have used recently.Even all the drivers and firmware were up to date. I use it to be able to run Pro-Tools and Sonar on a laptop for total studio portability. Mated with a keyboard controller this makes the lightest most portable full mobile 8 track recording studio with all the power of full PC software compatibility. Have not found anything wrong yet.

Support:
Great support so far from M-Audio.They do whatever they can till thay get you satisfied.

Overall:
As long as it is reliable -I have not had it long,I do not expect to buy anything for 3-4 years maybe.

Feature:
It has very versatile features for most situations. The fact that it can control logic, protools(m-powered, le in HUI mode)Cubase, Sonar, DP ect. makes this a good tool to try different softwares. I wish you could use spif and adat at the same time but you cant. You have to use one or the other

Quality:
I expected the quality to be sub par because of the price but the quality is excellent. This is a steal.

Value:
For what you get it is worth every penny.

Desirability:
sexy sexy

Sound:
I think the sound quality on this unit is awesome. This is a must buy!!

Support:
support is ok

Feature:
the knobs and buttons are efficient, but without labels to me they are just excess knobs and buttons.

Quality:
Quality overall is it is a good unit. It turns on when I need it to and it doesn't die when we are doing something important. I have never had any issues till I updated my Mac software. Hey now that I think about it. I might need to update the driver software...:)

Value:
Value is overall great deal for the price. looks and feels and sounds above average.

Desirability:
I own it...but I really wish I had a HD system :)

Sound:
Sound comes out pretty good. I don't have an expensive mic or expensive mic pre-amps. But what I do have it sounds great once the mix down is complete and we send it off to get mastered.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to use. After an update on the driver it synched up and was ready to go. Unfortunately I am now having problems with plug ins. And we don't have that many. I'll be calling M-Audio VERY soon.

Support:
When I called the first time they were great!!

Overall:
Overall it does the job...I just need to make some adjustments to my system to get some bugs worked out.

Feature:
Comes with everything you need. Automated faders are great.

Value:
Awesome for price range

Desirability:
pretty sexy looking

Sound:
The mic pres are decent but for better sound I'd pic up a mic pre.

Support:
Support is decent. However, EVERY TIME I CALLED I WAITED AT LEAST AN HOUR TO SPEAK TO A REP....RIDICULOUS!
