USB-C type interface - virtually eliminates latency
These new USB-C type interfaces virtually eliminate the latency of the old USB 2.0 type that used to make multi-track recording a nightmare (to me at least) so this one is highly recommended. It was the only one actually available from stock at the time of purchase (during lockdown April 2020) so that's why I chose it. The big volume knob is very useful! Plus it's about the cheapest of these interfaces that includes midi I/O.
This little unit is great!
We had been looking for some time, unsure which midi interface to go for. This model (the 192/6) is good because the midi connections are the `old` style large 5-pin, which most of our gear has. Nearly got the next model up (192/8), but the midi sockets are small, & that would`ve entailed buying additional adaptor-connectors! The unit is quite easy to set up.
You can connect, for instance, 2 items at the rear, OR 2 at the front, OR 1 front & 1 back, as long as these are left/right, not in line.
The finish is pretty solid, the knobs have a good positive `weight` to them. There`s a good feature which enables you to balance out the latency when recording, so what you hear as you play isn`t delayed via the machine (or vice versa.)
The Ableton Live Lite (although this is 4-track only, as opposed to Intro which (I think) is 8), & Pro-Tools starter round off a neat package!
