Perfect for home studio.
I checked out a couple of other interfaces and couldn't really decide on which one. When I finally got to this little guy, I was impressed. It was everything I needed for my small studio setup in my closet. I've had the MXL 990 for 11 years. When I tell you this interface made it sound like a $400-$500 microphone, I really mean it. Very simple setup. I have it paired with some IK Multimedia I-Loud Micro Monitors. They sound wonderful. The best part is that Native Instruments offers some software to help with recording. Once you register this product (if not a N.I member already), they give you access to some wonderful tools. It's helped my quality dramatically.
A completely awsome inexspensive interface
This is one of the best cheap USB audio interfaces you can buy. If you're on a budget, or just a beginner trying to build a "home studio" I highly recommend the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1. It has great preamps and a very good signal output. Very low noise and is easy to use. The control layout is simple and has everything you need right at your fingertips. I've tried several interfaces over the years and this is one of the best at this price point. As always Sweetwater shipping was super fast. This is a "no problem" device. It makes you happy when things just work the way you want them to; the Komplete Audio 1 does just that.
Great product
Connected to my DAW very seamlessly and came with a good amount of products. A great starter interface for recording or streaming and has a great amount of controls right on the front which I love. Everything feels good about the design and I will be using it a lot.
Great Product but lost Support
If you use a mac and are running Mac OS Catalina do not buy this. I have had mine for a year and Native will be supporting it anymore. Now I have a unit I can't use. Otherwise it was a great little unit and work great.
