Firstly, the build quality is excellent, sound is quiet and clear and for this price it’s is a great option for a small home studio set up.
However I find the ‘Mix Control’ software quite confusing and very unintuitive.
I have to restart my mac or already have the Focusrite plugged in on start up, in order for the software to register that it the device connected. The layout of the Mix Control settings are also not user friendly at all.
Another con is that phantom power covers both inputs. It would’ve been nice to have the option to select between the two.
I have since upgraded to external hardware preamps and now mainly use the line inputs / outputs which work absolutely fine. ..once you get the hang of how to route everything with the Mix Control!
