Review Summary

Preamp is better than anything in it's category, driver support is great and having visual dB meters is a luxury you never thought you needed. Simply put, at this price point, nothing comes close to the quality of the MOTU.

Work like a charm, easy to install. It?s nice having an on/off switch for the interface when not in use. Having separate volume knobs for headphone and monitor is great. Easily one of the best audio interfaces you can get at this price range.

We?re using this to livestream worship receiving an XLR from the soundboard, using the direct monitor out for those in our video booth to hear, and we really like the great display for keeping the levels clear so we know when adjustments need made so that we get the best possible sound for those worshipping online. Huge improvement in usability and sound quality over the Zoom H4n we were using previously. Highly recommend.

The controls are well thought out and the feature set and quality very nice at this price point. It works well in my set up using Logic. I find the headphone amp has plenty of power for my headphones. I also appreciate the level metering which is very functional and easy to see.

It was recommended that I get an Audient but the Windows drivers from them are horrible and I lost a lot of studio time with the failures and service tickets. Back to Youtube reviews! This kept coming up as a good one and I asked around about Windows compatibility. That plus the really smart ergonomics, the midi in-out, superior level meters, independent phantom power and monitoring buttons for L and $, and now that I have it, the solid build quality, make me a very happy customer.
