Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am writing this review after having owned & used this interface for about 5 months now on a daily basis. Currently there are 1 each of a 1, 2 and 3 star rating. One 4 star states the unit has flimsy buttons. I am shaking my head and wonder if people have King Kong fingers when they use their stuff. Seeing how so many "take care" of their vehicles and houses it is no surprise that people pull knobs off and junk up their equipment in the same manner. The fact is this is a great unit. The switches are not flimsy at all unless you drop kick the unit into the wall. Then they are really flimsy. It's actually very solid. There is NO crackling, popping, noisy stuff going on AT all. Not on my setup. So if mine doesn't do it, why do theirs? Good question...if one of us gets it to work with no problems and buttons do not break on it (within reasonable knowledge, not babying it either) then it must be a user issue. No manufacturer can account for the myriad of different systems out there, I get that. But as a consumer of this unit I wonder why I am having a seamless time with this interface and these other people are not. If it had an inherent noise issue wouldn't it crackle and pop for me? If the knobs were flimsy wouldn't they be for me? If the monitor output didn't work wouldn't it not work for me? They all do, and stellar. Hooked it up to my computer, my DAW read the ASIO drivers no problem and whamo... I am sure some of these users got bad units. But I am also certain it is user lack of knowledge on some of them as well. In following the Amazon tradition, I will now be blamed by some as being a shill for the manufacturer, having stock in Focusrite or being married to the daughter of the founder. As much as I'd like to at least have the 2nd one (I don't know if the founder has a daughter to be honest) I cannot lay claim to any of these. But there is a 96.367% possibility someone will accuse me of that. PS- Yes, you do have to download the drivers from the Focusrite website. I cannot express. I cannot convey. I cannot quite display to you how dang SIMPLE that process is! To say in one reviewers words "it is a pain" was side splittingly painful for me when I think of the future of humanity. How do some people eat? Thought I. How do some walk and talk at the same time? I now take my leave to ponder the meaning and evolution of life... Buy it...it's great. UPDATE 1/3/2016: Over 2 years and guess what? Still an awesome girl! I noticed this morning in fact (whilst doing my 50th podcast episode) how pretty, how sexy my red interface friend is. Her knobs, her lights, her sounds are all as perfect as the day I bought her. And this is with daily use and 6 albums later. I challenge any woman to be this way after 2 years of daily constant use. Oh Scarlett let me count the ways.....Ahhhhhhhhhh......
