Customers like the sound quality of the audio midi interface. They mention that it's reliable, solidly built, and has a pretty clean interface. The noise floor is low, and the Focusrite preamps are much quieter than the Behringer. It does a fine job controlling volume, and is perfect for playing along to music on the laptop or YouTube. It's also awesome for podcasting or for online chats, and tightens up your tone.

Customers have mixed opinions about the software that comes with the audio midi interface. Some find it excellent and loaded with software, while others say that it sucks and installing it was a nightmare.

"...It also comes bundled with a TON of free software and plugins, even though I couldn't seem to get a couple of them to work on my PC...." Read more

Another favorite of mine.
5 Stars
Another favorite of mine.
I use this thing just about every day. It runs my guitar and vocals in the input channels and I send the output to my studio monitors. It’s a dream come true. 100% best interface I’ve used to date. If there’s better out there in this price range, you let me know!
Thank you for your feedback
