OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
3 years
What thing do you like most/least about it?
+ Sound incredible, the convertos the reamps, all these inputs and outputs in such a small box!
-The knob on front panel (button), it pisses me off, we wanted to give him too many features, so he is useless ...
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
So basically I started with a edirol fa 66, I replaced by a m-audio project mix (2in1 controller + sound card) ... I did not notice anything special in sound ... I bought the Fireface in addition to its best mobility and advice of a friend ... and the shock, I rediscovered my BM12A, sound incredibly clear, short, a big slap and we need to hear it to believe ... So I sold my project mix, and the Fireface has remained at the studio as his main card ..

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good ...
It's not bad money but it was not better for the same price ... so ...
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Oh yes ...
