Rated 5 out of 5

Amazing.

Fantastic interface. Sounds great. One very cool thing is that the CPU load is waaay smaller than with our previous Scarlett interface.

Best Bang For The Buck

The price might suggest this interface is somehow less than others costing two to three times as much. Not so. Heavy duty build, clean preamps. Functionality just want you want for small live gigs or recording in the studio. Here's a sample from Friday night. Three mics and one guitar pick up direct in: https://youtu.be/qOjt7PTU2GU

Decent Pres, Decent price.

Bought this and the ada8200 to replace my old firestudio interface. I was wary about latency issues jumping back to usb 2.0 from firewire but as of writing this, I have tracked 2 live band sessions with 9 mics on drums and input plugins behind every channel. Much to my surprise, I have experienced zero latency issues and am quite happy with the transparency (for price spent) of the midas designed pres. Solid piece of gear for 300 dollars.
