This bad boy does everything you would hope for in an interface! Very high quality and as long as you have good mics and a good DAW your set to record high quality tracks. Also find it very convenient it accepts both xlr and 1/4 jacks.

Great converter! Nice preamps, works perfectly as USB interface using Windows 10. This Cue Mix does NOT include FX, EQ or Bass cut.

The unit didn’t work at all, now i have to pay the shipment back to USA(overseas). The cost of sending the unit back is really expensive and i haven’t been able to collect the money to send the unit back. Nor Amazon or MOTU offered me a solution other than to send the unt back. The unit was malfunctioning and this is a well known problem in this model, but they don’t are responsible for the cost of sendng the unit back, so they sent me a bad unit and they don’t care at all.

Received it as expected.

Haven’t had much of a chance to use this beyond just testing the functionality. My primary use is to add 8 preamps and push those channels to my Motu 828x, where I can apply DSP processing before it goes to my DAW. Looking forward to getting some time to mic up a drum kit with this.
