Subject:	WOW
Quality:	this product is made very well. i could pretty much depend it to handle anything. we've hooked up acoustic guitars, amps, keyboards and mics for vocals and its blown us away with the results.
Features:	the feature i was looking forward to was sonar. they sent me sonar 6 which is an old one and it didnt work..but i know someone that has sonar 8 so he let me install it on my computer. other than that i love the faders and all the other buttons on this mixer, they are all very well put together and very strong. and this mixer i was going by pictures to get an understanding of how big it was but wow...this thing showed up on my door and i thought it was something else...its huge. takes up half my desk!!
Ease of Use:	its real simple to use, i use it for recording rap vocals only but this mixer is by far the best mixer i could get for this price. i bought the akg perception 420 with this and those two are one heck of a combo. the only thing i didnt understand at first was getting the condenser mic to work...there is a little button just underneath the usb connection that must be on for studio mics...but other than that everything was real simple.
Sound:	the sound is unbelievable..my speakers i use sounded blown with my other mixer, they would crackle when bass would hit and would distort my vocals...so i thought they were blown but after i plugged them into this mixer the sound is really clear and no distortion...really strange but this mixer cured my speakers.
Reliability:	well its only a month old..seems like itll last for decades. i keep something covering the mixer and my mic so dust doesnt collect cause that really messed my last on up..
Overall:	overall this mixer is excellent. my brother plays guitar and he came over and layed down some tracks on a beat i made and the mixer picked it up sooooo much better than we had expected. i really upgraded with this mixer..i used to have an alesis multimix 8, which is garbage..i suggest to anyone that is saving for a mixer to buy an allen and heath.
Do you own this product?:	ohhh yeaaa
