This is the hub of my home studio, and it feels kind of plastic, but it surely gets the job done. It's easy to understand, and has intuitive menus and buttons. Works decent as an audio interface. Maybe not so good for recording, but I mostly use the recording function as a simple notepad for ideas. Has lot's of features and not too expensive. Haven't tried using it live, and didn't buy it for that purpose, so can't really comment on that. All in all, a good, simple product.
