Too heavy for gigs, too limited for a home studio
Good middle ground between full-fledged studio interfaces and mobile ones. I used to carry it around for DJ gigs and lives, but it wasn't an especially good experience. However, as a first audio interface to being a home studio with it's a pretty good piece of gear. Just 4 input channels, but the connectors are very versatile. Built-in USB hub is a great bonus.
