Superior recording stuff
i get this product...and let me tell you ..its very good, excellent, portable, and easy to use..i recommend this product to any one who likes to record at home.... 5 stars....

Awesome well-made Firewire Interface!
Amazingly simple and well put together product. Im using this on a Intel Mac and it is the best ive seen. i did not need to install anything. Its basically plug and play if you know what you are doing. I put this off forever, and now Im so glad i got this. I should have bought it 2 years ago. Does exactly what it says it will do and the firewire connection means zero latency. The price is very fair considering what other choices are out there. I really like M-Audio as a company. I own a LOT of their equipment and it holds up really well. Their gear is tough and made to perform. Buy it and enjoy! :))

Great value.
I'm very impressed. A lot of features and flexibility packed into a small and inexpensive package.

I installed it on a WinXP(SP2) machine which had Adobe Audition on it, and the M-Audio drivers and software were fully integrated into Audition automatically. Very slick. Made some nice home-studio recordings within an hour of opening the box.

The only startup difficulty was in realizing that there were way more options than I expected for to routing inputs to outputs, so picking the right combination of software settings to simply make a recording from one mono mic seemed a bit more complicated that it needs to be. Took me a whole extra 10 minutes of reading the included PDF-format manual :).
