amazing desktop audio interface.
great for podcasts, so many amazing controls, basically everything you need. my only 3 complaints are;
-the sliders don't sorta bump into 0's, so i sorta just make +10 0, and just lower the output to give myself easier control, -the audio channels can't be separated in post, so the output is basically just dual channel, but the 3/4 alt out does help, -the effects doesn't have a distortion, so using this as a "silent amp" sorta flops, but if you have a few pedals you can fix that

budget condencer mic for a reason
solid mic for the price, not much to say other then is mic.
pretty no thrills, but no big issues. pant coat as some lil paint dot splatter thingies, probably due to low qc, but it's not a big deal. very solid and flexable.
Avg price: $54.63

powerful synth at this price range, with built in usb midi keyboard
powerful monovoice synth, nice built in arp synth, and the built in (but optional to using) midi keyboard built in (which works without being plugged in) easily makes this a stand out desktop synth for me. the the "semi modular" patch bay i can extend out to my other synths is very nice to have. easily my top recommended beginner synth.
however, i will say that i feel as if it's rather limited, and keeps sucking me into the same patches, so that can be annoying

solid synth, good at getting those vintage sounds, but some controls are buggy, and interface is not designed very well
as the title says, the filter acts very odd, and some of the semi modular stuff is very odd. i also wish i could set independent CV's to each osc, but it works either way. not bad, just not my go to. the tuning knob is also wayyyyy off out of the box. using a digital synth on a sine preset to tune this, i have to turn the knob almost 15* ccw to get it in tune, so it concerns me how it will age considering the tuning is only aobut -/+7 either way.
midi pass threw is very nice though, and does sound very nice once you get it going.
