EVO 8 1-star Reviews

Stay away!!!

On paper this seemed pretty much perfect- a compact interface with 4 inputs, smart gain, from a seemingly reliable manufacturer and for not that huge of a price!

When it arrived, it worked fine at first. Then a bug hit me where the interface wouldn’t be detected by Windows after hibernating, so I attempted to reinstall the drivers - a HUGE mistake to say the least.

Upon restarting my PC, it entered a boot loop. Using a Windows installer it told me it couldn’t fix it. So I tried reinstalling Windows, but it kept failing. Only when I tried to reinstall without the interface connected, the install succeeded. However, when I tried to use the interface again, the driver installation failed midway through. When I restarted my PC, the previous issue came back.

If you want an audio interface that actually works and won’t destroy your Windows installation, LOOK ELSEWHERE

Defective sound

This interface did not live up to expectations. When using all four outputs, clicks and rustles often occur. You can get rid of it only by freezing channels with plugins. Logic, Macbook Pro 2019.

I like the design and the compact size. Alas, it is impossible to use.

Useless product if you run OS X

This was a very poor product experience. Firstly the features and package seem good for the price, the packaging and presentation is also very premium. The product itself is all plastic and there is some movement on some panels. I installed the software on my 2019 macbook pro running the lastest OS X big sur. Upon connecting the device I was asked to update firmware as the software require,, unfortunately this wouldn't work and it kept saying it cannot connect to the EVO 8. I contact support, they said try another cable, try another computer, try manual firmware update. They said there is a problem with their software/firmware and Big Sur.

I tried all their suggestions including trying running the firmware update on my friends macbook running catalina. Also failed. Support really weren't much help at all, completely useless product and quite surprised a big company like this have a product out there that they know doesn't work with the current OS from Apple.
