AIR 192|14 : Good for live and recording

A great combination of features which I haven't seen in other interfaces of the same price range:

- Enough inputs to have all your instruments connected and ready for action;

- 6 input gain controls, really helps for boosting instruments with low level line outputs;

- 2 headphone outputs with individual volume controls;

- Direct monitoring;

- All XLRs are on the rear panel, you can lay the cables neatly;

- Works even without powering up the PC.

I don't know a thing about recording quality, but for a live performance this unit is just great.

I tried first NI Komplete 6 and Focusrite 8i6, M-Audio has won the competition, mainly because it allows to set gain level for line inputs.
