I use one as the heart of my studio.

I also take it out and record gigs with it via the firewire expansion card.

It's a fantastic unit and the best purchase I've made since I bought the fireface800, which I sold to buy this unit and I'm not sorry. (although if I could afford to have both I would)

If it fits what you need it for, there's nothing better.

If you're trying to shoe-horn it to do something it's not really designed for (the pres for instance are not as quiet as the RME) then you may be disappointed.

I love the sound of it though,- it's clear, and very punchy and also does extremely well at avoiding feedback. I'm not sure why,- it just doens't seem to be a problem with this desk whereas it was with the early VLZ we used to use.

Kind regards
