Portable, all-in-one solution, the Ozonic is the perfect tool for real mobile musicians. It's ideal to work with Reason (and the setup with this software is very quick). In the beginning I had some doubts regarding the reliability of the device, but I've been taking it everywhere with me for one year (even on a sailboat!) and I haven't had a problem. The sound card is ok and it offers the same performance as the Audiophile, for example: XLR mic input with phantom power, guitar input and stereo input. I only miss an S/PDIF input, but you can't always have everything.
UTILIZATION
The playing feel is a bit soft but better than competitor products (Photon, eVolution, etc.). Very good global configuration, rotary controls, sliders, etc. Plus a joystick. It's works sweet with Reason. The display could be better. It's large enough but it only displays numbers whose meaning is hard to understand. It would be nice to at least give a name to the setups (one point off).
OVERALL OPINION
Very good product with a very compact size. Your laptop and the Ozonic are enough to play anywhere, even out in the open see...
