    Disappointed
    I had to return this product I wanted. The box came damaged, which was fine until I noticed clear tape used to mask the set I received was used. Inside, the wires were out of their plastic wrapping but the wrapping they were supposed to come in was STILL thrown in the box. The headphones are bent, only one side came covered, along with the instruction manual. Obviously the set I got was previously used when I was expecting (and paid for) brand new equipment. I’ve been so excited for this and now I feel bummed.Update* I decided to keep this for it does what I need. The program is easy to install and follow along. The interface is easy for beginners also. I just wish if I would’ve know it came used, I would’ve bought a used one for less.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for starting with electronic music and podcasting.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
    There are plenty reviews here that is obvious 1) they have no clue how this works and 2) somehow expect a $1000 audio interface for $99? Well this box has everything you'll need for current and FUTURE needs. Why? Chances are you are starting to make music using your iPhone. This works perfect but you'll need the Camera Connection Kit (CCK, $35~) and an original one if you want to save a LOT of headaches later. If you are using your laptop then no need for the CCK.

    This has MIDI IN/OUT an integral part of electronic music. You might not need it now but later when buying hardware, you'll be happy you picked one box with MIDI. With the CCK you'll be able to record video with DIRECT LINE IN AND IN STEREO. No horrendous sound from the phone internal mic. Connecting this box to the iphone/Ipad and you'll have crystal clear sound. Yes you'll also need mics (like shure sm57 and cables) but is worth it. Just go to youtube and you'll hear the difference. So for podcasting like having 2 mics for the conversation while using the phone for VIDEO is just amazing. Add a Sandmarc iPhone lens and you'll be golden.

    This works with ASIO beautifully. PreSonus has been working with ASIO for years and it shows. Other more obscure audio interfaces could be more finicky with WIndows but since PreSonus has already sold thousands of these things they have gotten plenty reports already to have it fixed. The more popular the item, the more chances you'll have finding solutions in forums, Reddit, etc.

    The included software is adequate as well. Obviously they wont include the full version (full version of Ableton is $750 ffs) Ableton Live Lite is 8 tracks with plenty free sounds and synths so is a good way to give it a go. This isnt a 30 day trial or anything, the limit is 8 tracks and if you buy full version then tracks are limited only by how powerful is your computer. So those reviews about software not working... sorry person, this hobbie aint for you. Cannot say about PreSonus’ Studio One since I dont use it.

    For the negatives I think the knobs are somewhat crowded and that the volume knob would be cool to have a big one on top like other audio interfaces but inmy case, once I find the sweet spot I rarely touch the knobs and control volume and other things in the software. Also no knob on top allowed me to put the ipad on top which has a magnetic case so it'll stick securely with the audio interface (didn't plan it but hey, better then expected!). I would recommend it to a friend and I wouldn't sell mine even if I have a big mixer, it too damn versatile when you know all it's possibilities.
