ALL this being said, the unit works well & these are just critiques on optimisation and what I personally would tweak & my opinions of it. Signal lights work well, unlike my scarlet interface which doesnt indicate signal at reasonably low levels has midi ports & thus saves extra usb ports on your laptop/pc having 6 jack outs and inputs on the back is a big pro for the unit allowing it to be used with external fx processors. AND having two headphone jacks works well for colab with artists eliminating the need for a headphone amp most of the time :) annoying that only two out of four channels work without external power, but oh well - usb power is usb power... Can be frustrating to use as a system soundcard.. (my laptops sound drivers spaz a bit if i try to get youtube or etc to play through it) - works fine with DAWs Individual phantom power controls / divided group controls would be a nice option Volume knobs are a bit touchy Also shouldnt be too hard to convert the last two xlr ports into composite xlr/jack like the first two.. so could be designed a bit better.

great for budget would be nice if volume indicators kicked in at lower signal levels too& gave more gradual indication of where the signal level is at rather than simple on off.. last minute warning.. then too loud
