UTILIZATION

Simple setup especially if you use Cubase 5, it is automatically recognized and sessions are configured specifically for her.

The manual is well explained and complete.



GETTING STARTED

The preamps are of high quality, the sound is transparent, the effects of EQ, reverb and compression are very effective, with preset programmed by the greater.

No breath.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months and I am totally satisfied.
Before I had a presonus firebox and before an E-MU 1820m (which was very well already) but there is really going 3 notches above it, both for routing capabilities that the sound quality.

What I like most is the ability to create and manage 8 different returns, very useful for the group in which I play, it works with headphones and each of the coup has its own mix, and it's great .
In addition, it can be used stand alone without cubase but no stand alone computer and that's huge.

What I like least ... euhh, nothing pleases me everything.

So I use it in homestudio and repeat, live soon ...

The value for money is very good given the quality and scope.

If it all over again but with eyes closed I would do this election, I intend to also buy a second to double my entries and exits ... and dsp
