    Works perfectly

    I am happy with it. Running on Macbook Air m3, latency is very low. Preamps are clean and gain enough to drive sm57 or other gain-hungrier mics. Headphone amp is good, plenty of power and more than enough to my headphones I am using, Audio-Technica mx50. Line-ins on back are good too. DI is good to my ears also. I am thinking this is better than Scarlett, i used earlier gen 2, 2i4. Vintage emulation gives nice vibes and colour to signal when I want to use it to add flavour. Plugins are great, what comes included with the interface. Overall, I am happy and I feel I can make more confident decisions when it comes to sounds and trusting my ears when recording with this interface. Thnx Universal Audio for great series of interfaces!

    Its great, but there is one big issue

    The sound of the interface is excellent. But that is all. Unfortunately there is a big issue that multiple people have including me. This interface has some serious issues when used with ableton live. More specifically when you start setting the buffer size over 512 samples. It's starts cracking and lagging really bad. Unfortunately I need the higher buffer size to save some resources. The interface for sure works with UADs own Luna DAW. I tried to like it but there I ended up having other problems with 3rd party plugins.

    It should be addressed at some point since I am not the only one with the issue. Unfortunately for me I can't wait for a fix so I will have to return it.
