Quality


I record everything in this interface and focusrite is great quality.


Overall, this interface is very good and very tough built, it can withstand heavy live use and has the feeling of a scientific ...  Read More


- zero latency tracking is possible with effects like reverb and compression- the front inputs accept hi-z inputs from guitars / bass.


These problem were very sporadically and never interfered with a recording, they just happened on casual use of it while using the browser.

Price


Even i can't enjoy in it's entireness, because i do not have regular tension in my house's electric line (that is a must if you...  Read More


I didn't buy it from amazon, but i wish i did because they have a great price as always.


Bottom line: if you are looking for something which is a step-up from a total-entry level audio interface, this one is a great value.

Packaging/appearance


The box barely worked with my motherboard's firewire jacks which used the via chipset.


This box was a big step up and is ideal for a small recording setup (or a portable recording setup) where you have maximum 2 mic inputs.

Competitiveness


I can't compare to other interfaces as this is my first but works great for me.


I must say after using a m-audio fast track and a m-track, it doesn't compare to the focusrite saffire 24dsp.


I think firewire is a much better recording option than usb & that's why i went with this unit.

    The duelheadphone option is great to playback mixes with someone else to bounce ideas and the preamp for mics although unused by me so far does great things as well so ive been told by other producers

    Be sure you have a firewire connection on your laptop or you will have to purchase the thunderbolt to firewire adapter
