Easy to install, just plug in the USB cable and follow the instructions. Comes with 2 very nice mic pres with phantom power, midi I/O, front panel DI and a LE version of Cubase.

First Impressions
Very easy to use right from the box, Easy to install and configure. Works flawlessly with Cubase. Small enough to carry in your gig-bag.

In Use
At home, I use it as a quick way to lay down ideas. Live, I use it with a laptop , as my "onstage effects rack" I use the MIDI I/O with my MIDI guitar interface, I use a mic pre for my acoustic, and the DI for my ES345. I use the line-outs to feed a onstage powered monitor and the house mixer.

PROS
Fantastic quality and ruggedness. EASY EASY EASY to install and use. Worked the first time-NO hassel! Good mic pres, all controls are easy to get to, all the wires (except DI& phones is in the back..no clutter)Very good audio quality.

CONS
Would have liked to have 8ins AND 8outs as well as 4 buses, but the current config is great.

Conclusion
This is a song-writers dream! Absolutely the best bang for the buck! Great quality, small size, zero frustration setup. I have no problem recommending this to anybody. Definitely well made and well designed!
