I use Ableton 12 and Windows 11 which most people use Apple- so ASIO support is a bit confusing and an extra hassle for us PC users- but they have great asio drivers on their website for Windows 11! You do need to use the headphone jack on front or speaker outputs on the back but I like that you can hear both Ableton monitoring as well as system sounds at the same time... I also like that you can monitor the Ableton main output through the headphone jack- which limits any latency during recording (I believe). Theres a knob in the middle to choose if you only want to hear input or only output or both- which is pretty awesome. When using low or high sample rate the audio sounds great. I didn't really use any of the software that came with it since I already have Ableton and tons of plugins. Feels very well made- I have the orange 2 channel one - basically I'm pretty happy with it - and the price was only $77- great deal just know it's a great option for windows 11 users with Ableton 12- can't say much for Mac OS users

Perfecto para convertir lo Discos de Vinyl en digital y también los cassette de audio Sin ningún tipo de distorsión.Yo lo tuve que devolver pues nesecitaba entradas XLR para otro tipo de artefacto con salidas balanceadas y poder regrabar algunas cosas análogas perooo realmente lo recomiendo para grabaciones Caseras de tipo RCA.

If you have or are building a small home studio this is a good interface to get you started.Has a decent selection of inputs, and the preamps are quiet enough for must uses.Installation in Logic was a breeze, and I’ve had no issues connecting. I run a pair of M Audio monitors off of it as well as a set of DT 770 high impedance headphones from it and they all works great.The only think I sort of hate is the volume knob on the front. It’s a weird color and the feel of it isn’t the best. I can overlook that given the rest of the unit is good.A good value that works well and is easy to use.

I have two of these, I use them at least twice per week, I have had one of them for years. Best ADC/DAC I have ever used, runs very reliably and predictably under Linux, I use them at 96kHz. Sound quality stellar. Very good manual knob controls.

This device sounded great while it worked. It took audio in via the rear RCA connectors from a K2500 synth. No problem connecting it to the Mac and working with Logic. However, sometimes it would glitch out and produce a constant pitch distorted sounding saw wave. An unplugging, waiting 10 seconds or so, and re-plugging of the USB cable would correct this. Finally, after 6 months of use, it doesn't seem to be able to recover and now is constantly producing that distorted sound when audio is received from the synthesizer. So, physical build quality is good, but this device proved to be problematic and didn't even last a year. It wasn't on the road, just on my desk, so it wasn't exposed to bumps or other shocks. Your experience may be better.

Mekanisk gedigen med rattar och phonokontakter. Har dock inte listat ut hur man får ut ljud FRÅN datorn TILL ljudkortet. Bundlade mjukvarorna är inget värde i.
