ID44 : Good but could be better

Let me start by saying that this is a great interface. Clean and professional sound. There is no jitter, if you're reamping a guitar amp for example, you can literally record the same thing twice and get 100% the same signal.

It drives speakers and headphones well, very detailed and flat sound when monitoring.

That being said, some things about it bother me.

The guitar DI is too bright. This isn't a problem when using virtual amp sims. But when reamping the sound just isn't accurate. The DI sounds great with bass guitar though.

Secondly, the preamps are also bright. In a hipstery, airy sort of way. Think Ed Sheeran.

While the sound is smooth and good for acoustic stuff, as soon as you need a fat rock sound, the interface just can't do it. All mics sound spacious and airy even when close-miking.

So while I like this interface, I don't love it because the tone doesn't always suit the song.
