An easy installation for Mac. There is even a rather well-written paper manual ...

OVERALL OPINION

A small wonder. Full compatibility with systems and software mentioned above, great sound quality, use 4 in, 4 out (recording 4 different signals (or 2 stereo) 4-track mono (or 2 stereo) simultaneously. Moreover, a true manufacture "to old "(well, I am 54 years ...), the true metal, a very nice finish ... I use it only for a week, within days if the DJ trim molders I warn you. But I doubt much!
