Post any tips or experiences with this audio interface.
Also, how does it work, and whatnot.

I have one and love it.
My only gripe about it that the XLR inputs aren't very secure, so it's pretty easy to pull your mic cable out if its socket if you aren't careful.
Aside from that, I'd recommend it strongly.

The truth is out there!
Umm it works like an interface. I have one and like it a lot. The pres are nice, I don't use them a ton because I have better, but they are above average for an interface like this. Latency is not an issue when tracking. Those are my two biggest things with interfaces.
The one weird thing is the MixControl. It's supposed to help with routing etc. But I use Reaper where routing is a breeze, and setting up headphone mixes is no problem. So MixControl has just gotten in my way a few times. I spent forever trying to figure out how to route a track out through an output to a compressor, and then back in through an input. Now that I have it figured out it's not hard, but it seems unnecessary to me. You can run without MixControl on, but some things don't work. I usually don't use it at all.
But, I would recommend it highly. And to Ryguy76, the manual sucks, but a more focused question would have been more helpful too.

I have one as well. I've recorded a lot of stuff with it. The pre amps are VERY quiet and good IMO. I have no problems with it so far. it works very well with logic.

I finally got one. It is worth more than 500 if you compare it to the Presonus or the MAudio 2626.
Pres are much better and the converters are great too. It didnt like my firewire card, so I swapped it, and Bingo! works like a charm and now I hear things in the previous mixes that I didnt hear before.

downloads page over at Focusrite. The manual is there.
I always read the manual before I buy audio gear. It's nice to make sure it can do what you need it to do.
