After being plagued with "higher end" XLR interfaces that in next-to-no time quickly were giving out and would require frequent unplugs and replugs, this interface was a breath of fresh air after about 2 years of service with no issue. No software needed which makes this friendly for just not Windows but Mac and Linux as well, unfortunately still needs USB type-B cable rather than USB-C, oh well. Another pain point of others was audio latency. Fortunately, between both the microphone monitoring and PC-to-headphone latency, I'm happy to report that there was very little compared to the others that I had tried. Probably not the best compared to a direct sound card through a PCI slot, but still very usable. For audiophiles using their interface for running headphones off of: The interface is only rated for 50 Ohms, but I get plenty of volume on 64 and 128 Ohm headphones without sacrificing quality at about 8.5 on the output volume dial, with enough headroom to go to 9 if I need for a rather significant boost to volume, after which then above 9 gets pretty bad. It's fine for about 99.9% of people, just not the crazed audiophiles. It's a very no-nonsense, budget-friendly interface. My only chief complaint is using USB-B rather than USB-C, but otherwise this is very usable for the average PC setup enthusiast and content creator.

Being an electronic musician that samples and records music from consumer electronics, I needed a strong device that allowed me to capture clean audio from an aux source. I thought this would be hassle free but there was nothing in the description that the line in was mono only. So that's why only the three stars. Yes the audio coming from my computer is clean and loud. But to capture stereo I now have to use a splitter for the left and right channels which obviously are for input 1 and 2 which kills the idea of hooking a mic and a synth up to it unless I capture in mono. I didn't have the cables or plugs so that was an added $18 expense which I should get tomorrow thanks to amazon. I'm sure the included software is good but you have to register the product first, which requires reading the serial number from the bottom of the device. I find it odd that there was no QR code, but that's fine. So I downloaded the software but have yet to unzip and activate them because I make myown loops and already have two DAWS. I'm sure they are good but totally pointless for me. The six month Reason subscription seems kinda Sweet but once again, don't need it. I may revise this review if the quality is insufficient after finishing setup but I feel pretty confidant this will be a strong addition to my music making toybox. ------------------------------------------------------------ Addendum ------------------------------------------------------------ I've revised this review to include an extra star after acquiring the necessary cable to patch left and right to each input on the front from an AUX output. The signal is clean and strong and my DAW immediately picked up the two channels and panned accordingly. This is a great interface for bloggers who have a nice microphone but remember, if you want to capture in stereo you have to have those extra cables which I got for about $18 here on Amazon. The better quality cables with the braided insulation are ideal if you're a serious musician. I also forgot to mention I like the idea the unit is completely USB powered. No need to look for an open spot on your power strip.

It’s a great interface and great to use, my DAW recognized it without an issue and I have no latency going from my guitar into my amp sims

I use it with NAM software as a practice amp so I don't drive my wife insane at all hours of the night. The input sounds clean and I've had no trouble using it with various amp sims and Reaper DAW. It's a great value especially when compared to a similar Focusrite interface.

昔使用してたオーディオインターフェースは、録音後に再生するとレイテシーが酷く、毎回修正を余儀なくされました。 レイテシーをほぼ感じないクオリティに驚き！ 音質、使い勝手共にこの価格とは思えないクオリティかと思います。
