It works

You can't really expect more or less from an audio interface. It works well.

Great functionality, finicky drivers

Use it with a windows laptop and FL Studio 20. The hardware iteslf is amazing for the price, really clean digital preamps with low noise floor. Nice spatious front and back panel. The biggest issue are the drivers, sometimes they crash my DAW or they create conflicts. The maximum buffer size is also limited to 1024 samples, which is sometimes just not enough. Wish they'd release a firmware update to bring it up to at least 2048.

US Power

Good interface, but I foolishly did not realise it only used US style twin plugs (I live in Britain) so I'm stuck using an adapter.
