Feature:
Built in preamps can’t replace real vacuum tube preamps, but hey... Comes with Mackie Tracktion, a brilliant piece of SW

Quality:
All in all: very good. Sturdy feel to it. Here’s the flaw: The line I/O. They’re physically placed to close to each other (problem if you use pro jacks), and they’re of the typical consumer type with no washer restraints. In a permanent installation, this isn’t an issue, though. There is room for improvement with the headset out as well, one should be able to switch whether to monitor ch. 1+2 or 3+4 in a recording situation, or at least ch. 1+2 should be muted if the headset is connected.

Value:
Awesome hardware at a ridiculous cost.

Desirability:
It’s good looking IMHO... the jack-thing is a bit of a turnoff, tho...

Sound:
Very smooth indeed! On all accounts. Plug and Play. Good converters. Good for vocals, guitars, bass... I’ve used it in several settings with no problems.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play.

Support:
Support via email. Fast and helpfull.

Overall:
I’ll only want to replace this beauty if I should be so lucky as to find my self with more room, so I could record drums. Then, I’d need more inputs. I used to own an AudioFire12...
