For the price it is worth it, very small its pre amp is quite good and easily transportable. Almost fits in a coat pocket it's impressive.

However, it is not the sound card you need to mix, it can but will have its limits.

The headphone output is still at a maximum of 100 Ohms (I checked on the Focusrite site) which is good if you have a dt 770 pro headphones at 80 Ohms for example.

But will not be suitable for pro headphones above 200 OHMS.

Works quite well with monitoring as well. For a beginner it will be perfect. But will quickly be overwhelmed by needs, I would say that at least for more possibilities a Scarlett 2i2 is needed.

It is still an excellent product that I use during my travels.

Very good quality/price ratio

Perfect for my needs. I bought it to record my guitar tracks, before adding the singing track.
Tested with an Alhambra electro-classical and a Yamaha Transacoustic electro-acoustic, the sound reproduction is perfect. I even added my Zoom Ac-2 in advance for a softer and more natural sound, it works very well.
I also plugged in my daughter's digital piano, with sound output on the mixer (the only Yamaha P45 piano sound output being a headphone output). Perfect recording as well.
I haven't tested with the mic yet, but I'm not worried.
I didn't test the software solution provided either, Audacity (open-source) does the job perfectly (normalization, noise reduction and audio editing).

You can clearly feel the difference with DAWs. Very easy to plug in Remember to follow the steps to install the Focusrite Control software and make all the necessary settings to really take advantage of its potential!

Note that it is imperative to have a Jack adapter if you want to connect headphones equipped with a mini-jack...
