 Great bang for your buck! Dec 13, 2007
As a newbie solo musician looking to record everything myself, this is exactly what I was hoping for. The hardware is very easy to use, I plugged my computer speakers into the headphone out jack so I could choose between headphone monitoring and speaker monitoring. The unit provides ghost power for a mic, instrument in and monitor out. Exactly as advertised.
The version of Cubase provided is a limited version but it was more than enough for me to accomplish my goals. With a decent VST drum instrument you can write as complex a drum line as you want, without a super-steep learning curve. I was surprised that the software was so straightforward and the manual is well written, well organized and helpful.
For $100 or so this is a great way to start recording. Keep in mind that the limited version of Cubase allows for a limited number of MP3 format exports, so you'll want to mixdown and then convert with a free program like Audacity. The overall quality was well worth the money though.
 Worth the money! Dec 05, 2007
I needed a simple way to digitally record vocals and my guitar - this device delivers. Easy enough to set-up and gives me exactly what I needed for a hundred bucks.
While Cubase LE packs a lot of functionality, I followed the simple tutorial on getting a basic recording done and I was off and running in a few minutes - I am probably only using 2% of what it is capable of doing but I am getting 110% of what I needed out of it.
No complaints here.

Amazing, especially for its price. Oct 26, 2007
I'm not sure why the previous review was so low, perhaps that reviewer was expecting a 24 bus mixer with Pro Tools! Obviously you are not going to get anything near that for <$100! This interface is awesome. In less than a half hour, I had the software loaded (laptop running XP), and was recording tracks, without even reading any manuals. The zero latency really blows away anything that a standard soundcard can do. With the Monitor mix pot, you can control the volume of what you are currently recording vs. what you are playing back, with absolutely no delay that I can hear. Coming from an old cassette 4-track, this is a breeze. I don't know how I've recorded the old way for so long. If you are looking to mic a drumkit, go direct with bass, guitar, vox, and do it all live, this might not be what you are looking for. But if you are a musician that wants to lay down some tracks, perhaps 1 or 2 at a time, this is perfect. I'm just one person--why do I need to have 13 tracks simultaneously recorded? Take a stereo out from the drum machine, lay it down. Stereo out from POD, lay it down, etc. This is perfect for my needs.
The only drawback (if I had to find one) is that the Cubase software has alot of bells and whistle to it, some of which you have to dig into. So there is definitely a learning curve. This is a good thing actually, there are alot of pro options in the software that can create a pristine recording, if you know what you are doing. If you don't take the time to learn it and experiment, it could be a little daunting. I guess it is like playing an instrument :-)
Overall, awesome product.

 false advertising Apr 24, 2007
this product has only one stereo input and one stereo output. don't buy this item for anything but a simple extra soundcard with trs jacks. and be prepared to buy mad cables. no wonder my local store doesn't carry lexicon. they are terrible!
