Value For Money : Poor
Small, compact, efficient, strong!
I use it mainly with my sm57 to record my acoustic guitar (nylon and gypsy), connected directly to my pc.
Regarding my computer config (win7) is rather light but works well for music, that's all I ask.&nbsp;

UTILIZATION

Drivers stable, in fact it depends on the stability of your pc: some have had major latency issues, in my case I never had this concern.
I use acid pro 4 for registering, but with this software I can record one track at a time. For reading, for now I can read multiple tracks, the only limit is the RAM.

GETTING STARTED

We plug in the device powered by USB, it installs the operating cd and go!
Regarding the config, 5 knobs (inst + mic1, inst + mic2 + (jack / XLR) an LED clip for each, a mixer input / playback very useful, a phone and a hand, a 48v phantom power) for front.
An exit left, one right, a phone and midi in and out the rear.
So yes, very easy configuration!
Regarding the manual ... nothing, but it was almost useless. (There may be one, but as I bought secondhand ...).
I forgot, sold with Cubase, but I could not register it as it was previously done is saved with the previous user.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 months and I am completely satisfied! stable, no breath, ideal for recording acoustic instruments, what I do mostly.
I tried other models like Line6 Pod, but I preferred this mdel, which brings me to the following topic:
What I like about this model is that there is no interface, no sound bank or modeling, which to me is a huge time saver, at least the sound you creates is ours, no frills other than the addition of our potential effects pedals!
What is missing in my opinion is at least a meter and the knobs are a bit small for my taste, but details are only given the quality of the device.
Excellent value for money considering what it cost me and if I had to redo the selection of that brand, I would take a more elaborate model. Try
