Advantages: Rock solid reliable audio recording

Disadvantages: Heavy

I was recommended this sound card by a music shop, to whom I specifically asked for a card that will be rock solid and not prone to error.
Well they weren't wrong. I've been using this for years both on PC's and mac and it is the most rock solid card I've ever used with Logic.
The monitoring is first class, with barely noticable latency. This is a much harder review to write because when these soundcards work, you barely notice them, and therefore I find there is very little to say.
I keep mine set up permanently at home, and use it primarily for recording bass and analog synths. The jacks take both xlr and balanced/unbalanced 1/4" jacks, and theres plenty of outputs here too.
The build quality means this is quite a heavy unit for its size - a consideration if you run a portable studio setup.

A sensible choice for the studio.
