"They hit is outta the park!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This thing definitely raises the bar in my opinion. The rest of the vendors have a long way to go to catch up with the usability, not to mention the price.
Keep it up, guys.
Sound
The pres sound really good. The only thing I don't like (so far) is when you turn the built-in limiter on, a bass gtr will yield distortion pretty easy. Overall, it sounds wonderful.
Features
This is about as good as it gets. Has line-level inputs (2) on the back and (1) hi-z gtr input on the front. Very easy to operate. I did have a problem with Sonar recording. By default, it chose the adat inputs. I had to go into Sonar's panel to tell it to use the stereo pairs option before I could record. The driver software is very nice. It's soooo nice not to have to think about device syncing or sample rate. The driver seems to take care of it for you.
Quality
The unit is a bit bigger than I expected but not bad at all. It sits on the desk nicely. One thing that's missing are rubber feet. I installed some of these myself and now it sits rock-solid on the desk. As I said earlier, the sliders/knobs feel a bit lightweight and breakable although it's held together well so far.
Value
This thing is worth far more than I paid for it. To be able to get a good sound card that'll take 3 channels of analog, spdif and/or ADAT lightpipe is just unbelievable. However, don't even think about… read more raising the price. <g>
Manufacturer Support
I'm rating this one a bit low since I've not had to have any real support from the company. The one thing I didn't like was upgrading the driver. There are no instructions and no auto-install script for upgrades. You have to just know to copy everything to the c:\windows\system32 directory.
The Wow Factor
It's very usable. The layout, colors, and graphics on the casing really looks nice. Much better than Behringer's mixers look, IMHO.
