iPad Perfect!

by Blues55 from US

Music Background: Blues Harp
This is a solid piece of machinery. Extremely well built with very pristine preamps. A perfect mobile unit.

As a beta tester for Auria, MusicStudio, Arctic Keys, just to name a few, th... read more [+]is thing is an absolute dream with Cubasis.

Been beating it around for over 3 wks now, & it works with all my iPad music or sound apps on both the iPad 2 & 3! It also works nicely with both my PowerBooks.

For such a rich sound, the size will blow you away. Recorded files are easily imported into Pro Tools for more work.

BTW, the midi is sweet also. close [-]

Great interface for less than $200

by Adam from United States

Music Background: Spare-time recording artist
As a long-time musician new to recording, this is exactly what I was looking for. I did a lot of internet research before deciding on this interface, and I couldn't be happier.

What I ... read more [+]love:
1. Solidly constructed and easy to use.
2. Hi-Z input so I can plug the electric guitar into the interface directly, without having to mess with miking the amp.
3. Cakewalk Sonar X1 LE is included. I don't have much experience with the other software out there (like ProTools), but Sonar is very capable and easy to use.
4. Portable, so I can move it with the laptop I use for recording.

For the price point, you'll be very happy with this product. I don't think you'll find a better two-input interface anywhere. close [-]

Most portable interface for under $200!

Manufactured in China of course, but this baby is well built and rock solid. The sound is excellent. This product had me sold when I saw it could be battery powered, AC, or usb and has all the inputs ... read more [+]I need for a mobile studio. This thing was built for ultimate portability in mind and I believe this will suit me very well for producing/recording anywhere and everywhere. Drivers were a breeze to install with the included CD which has the latest drivers already. Also, this unit works perfectly with Windows 7 x64 and Ableton Live. If you're planning on getting an interface for around $200, I highly recommend this interface.. close [-]
