I hesitated for a long time with models above like a Foscurite. Not wanting to exceed a small budget for my first homestudio, I finally followed my instinct for this map: amazing! Good latency, don't crash, on Ableton it holds up perfectly! I have a CM60 microphone that she gets along with very well! For models it is more than enough! In addition: aesthetically it is as nice as anything, and its finishes are not cheap at all! As for the Behringer brand: forget the reviews on the internet and forget its very old reputation! The progress is real and it's worth the investment to start (or not!)

From a completely (but then completely) novice point of view:
I wanted to record the noise I make with bass/guitar. Sound that comes in, sound that comes out on my PC. Plug&Play on Linux with Audacity, nothing to do.
The sound is fine for me, no extraneous noise (other than me). I have no setback with other equipment or duration of use, but for me fully corresponds to my expectations, affordable price, fast delivery as usual.Automatically translated
