Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?

Value Was this item an overall good value? Well considering this is pretty much the same as the liquid saffire 56 minus the 2 liquid channels and a few other options and..I paid a grand for the 56....this thing is well worth the money!

Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The best features of this unit are the quality of the mic pres (for the this price range), the stability of the drivers in Windows 7, 64 and the infinite signal routing possibilites the device has. If I would recommend a change, I might suggest the Focusrite revise the software mix control to provide a simplified/basic routing setup, and then the option for an advanced routing(current state) in another tab. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? The product setup is a breeze. The only tricky part of this device is that all of the routing options for the signal can over complicate the set up of the device within your DAW. While working in PT 9.02, It was more challenging than normal to mute unwanted signal while recording (input monitoring off). The product makes it very easy to get high quality, big house productions on a portable set up. Value Was this item an overall good value? Overall, the product presents the very best value in it's class. I replaced my PreSonus Firestudio Project with this device, and I couldn't be more satisfied at this point.

Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The preamps are clean. The level meters for each channel are clear and accurate. The connections are all neutrik type connectors so you can plug XLR or TRS into the Pro40. Big plus on that. The staggered up and down channel knobs is a little strange but it works. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? This is were I felt it could use help. Hardware wise the Pro40 is a champ. Software wise, trying to route and communicate effortlessly with my M-audio projectmix was sucky. I got it to work but not without little help from focusrite. Thats the only downfall to this product and sadly i feel many other standalone interfaces when trying to integrate into your system. Value Was this item an overall good value? Excellent value. Price was right. I almost bought the Presonus 8 channel equivalent and had all kinds of sync problems and the pre-amps sounded too unnatural so i sent that back and purchased this. It was well worth the change of heart and the money.

Yes a GREAT value for all you get with unit ...I may buy another
