Wanted to upgrade, was using the Scarlett Saffire 6 USB, so was hesitant to shift to another brand , but now that I have got it its worth every penny! Its got a much better response than the older interface and quality too ( And did I mention it looks rad too ! Very classy on your workstation ! )Only downside is that it comes with all these useless software bundles which you dont use but you waste your time anyways registering and downloading it just to ignore it in the end !But this might be different for you who knows. All in all go for it , it costs a bit more than its rival the saffire scarlet with similar specs but its worth it !
