NEW REVIEW - Great Interface...

I've now recorded a number of tunes with this thing. Drivers install fine(go to M-Audio's Website to get the most current, which can also be updated from the control panel), the unit is stable, 8 preamps help with certain situations althought they're not the greatest in comparison with some of the other pres I have, but they're usable for under snare and stuff like that. The 2 adat ports are a nice feature to have so your not stuck with just 8 optical ports but rather 16, then you add spidf which give you another 2 inputs as well as wordclock in/out. That's really when this unit comes alive. I have mine clocked to a Stereo96 Mytek converter unit which has a darn stable clock and it sounds great this way. All in all, it's a great unit if you're doing a full album for someone and multi-track a lot like I do. While still the thing I do most is vocals, every other feature this thing packs is usable and not just something extra that goes to waste and you'll never use. Solid unit.
