Most unreliable piece of gear I've ever owned
I saw that this interface was high on a lot of top 10 lists for audio interfaces so thought I would give it a chance, and it was the worst audio-related mistake I've ever made. When it works, it works fine. However it's the most unreliable piece of garbage I've ever owned. First of all, it needs its own service running in Windows. I've been recording for over 10 years and owned 5+ audio interfaces and not a single other product has ever needed that. The biggest problem with this garbage is its constant cutouts. I think just about anyone with studio monitors is also using them as their general PC speakers, and that's how my PC is set up. I can't get through 10 minutes without this trash giving up and having to unplug and replug it to get it working again. I contacted their tech support with this problem and the support they offered was laughable. First off, god help you if you don't have an available USB 2.0 port. Yes, you read that right. In 2020 this product does not work with USB 3.0. So good look finding a motherboard that even has USB 2.0 ports. I found 2 in the early months of 2020. That's right, only 2 motherboards that had even a single USB 2.0 port. Long story short, just go with any other interface that has the number of inputs/outputs that you need. They're all pretty much the same, and this one somehow failed it's most basic purpose in "works most of the time". Stay away.
