Works Great!

I am using Audio Kontrol to output sound from a DJing program called Traktor and it works well. It allows me to cue tracks in my headphones while continuously playing the mix over my system. The sound quality is high and it is easy to use. Make sure your computer has more than the minimum RAM...I started out with 512MB and had some glitches and dropouts...when I bumped the RAM up to 1.5GB everything sounded clear. I had a little trouble using the pre-programmed midi controls...for some reaon Traktor would not recognize the commands. Once I programmed the midi commands manually it worked great though. It also was important to follow the manual's directions on optimizing system performance...don't gloss over all the fine print...it is important to making everything sound perfect.

Awesome interface

This is a great interface for the price. Very sturdy in build and function. Software is easy and supports Vista 64bit well. Getting a fre Synth with it was the icing on the cake. Use it with Sonar 8.x and FL Studio with no issues. If you are looking for a solid interface for the price range seriously consider this one.

Amazing!!!!!! (with a couple catches)

Alright, so i bought this audio interface not knowing its full potential. I bought it last year for some simple recording stuff. At first i didnt really like it much, but then i talked to some people, and then found out that you can plug in a mixer to this bad boy because it has 2 line ins. So, i paired it up with a super portable mixer, and it works soooooo good. Everything is crystal clear. And the knobs and buttons on the top really separate this one from the rest. They serve quite useful when you just want a shortcut to turn up the volume or change the tracks on itunes, or control your recording software. I really recommend something like this for a super portable recording studio. Just pair it up with mics, and a small mixing board, and you're good to record your music up in the alps. anyways, You just have to learn to mess with it a little bit, but it wont take that long to learn. It is e-mazing.
