U-24 : An excellent field reporting mixer option

In all my field interviews, this mixer is a must so I can control the gains and ensure clean sound in the final synched sound, the pre-amps are awesomely clean and completely intuitive for any Film & TV pro; I have not used as an audio interface thus far. I did try a couple of times to use it as an audio interface but it did not seem that it could an intuitive "plug and play" solution as an audio interface: you must download an audio soft and play around some tweeks that are far from being obvious and intuitive; and when you are a Film & TV freelancer and do everything yourself, time is really money and you really do not have time to dig in the user's manual for hour to figure out how all and each piece of equipment works. In any case, as a field mixer, I highly recommend this device!
