Great interface, clean powerful sound

I have to say the preamps are super clean, and plenty of volume on headphones and monitor out, must use good spiral copper shielded cables to avoid picking up interference, avoid unknown cable brands, this is a great device, I recommend.

Great for home use

I have been using this to record guitar and vocals in my home studio. The build is solid and it was a major step forward from my focusrite 212. It works very well with Bitwig and Ableton. The screen is very handy as is the ability to split the sound between playback and what you are recording. I have not used the loopback function.

Good product, but had to return due to lots of dead pixels on the screen

Good sound, great flexibility with the inputs/outputs and buttons, love the feel of the knobs and all the hands on control. However, the LED display is only really viewable straight on, and most people don't use this interface with their head on the desk. An OLED display would be far, far better. And my unit came with about 15% of the pixels dead right out of the box. Must've taken a beating somewhere, or installed with a faulty one?!
