Nice interface, low noise, very convenient input options, great mic preamps and monitoring control, MIDI. That said, there are minor downsides to it as well.

Second, even though it says it can be powered from FireWire, MacBook Pro can't drive it, so you will have to use the included power supply. Not a big issue, just inconvenience. close [-]

iBook. It is compact, it fits in a lap top bag with the lap top.
The front panel takes a little getting used to, but works well and
the software is easy to use and well designed. I have not tried the unit
to mix full projects but for simple setups it works very well.
I should also point out it is well made and seems like a quality product. close [-]

Good hardware, BAD software and support!

by Micheal from NC

I owned this unit for about a year and from day one, I had nothing but problems. The drivers are extremely buggy and caused all kinds of errors (including many blue screens) and signs of instability. ... read more [+]Support is no help at all.

As for the hardware itself, the converters are pretty nice. The unit looks great and the preamps are adequate.

With TC's support and drivers in the state they are you should definitely wait for them to improve or go with another company. close [-]
