The ultimate beginner interface.
Anyone starting out with recording or demoing has at least owned one of these before. I still use it to this very day. I use it all the time for demoing and jotting down new ideas. You can spend hours looking through the different sounds and presets Podfarm has. Simple to use.

@jimmarchi1 True! lol that's why after I found the right ones from me, I saved my own presets.

good for demos
The interface itself is as simple as it gets. This is great for having an extremely simple backpack rig for demoing on the go. Pod Farm is great for beginners, and though I'll give myself some credit and say that I put the work in and made it sound pretty damn good, it takes a TON of tweaking and EQ to make a tone that'll sound good in a mix. I used this for quite a lot of demos between 2011 and 2015.
