Good for live and recording
A great combination of features which I haven't seen in other interfaces of the same price range:
- Enough inputs to have all your instruments connected and ready for action;
- 6 input gain controls, really helps for boosting instruments with low level line outputs;
- 2 headphone outputs with individual volume controls;
- Direct monitoring;
- All XLRs are on the rear panel, you can lay the cables neatly;
- Works even without powering up the PC.
I don't know a thing about recording quality, but for a live performance this unit is just great.
I tried first NI Komplete 6 and Focusrite 8i6, M-Audio has won the competition, mainly because it allows to set gain level for line inputs.

All 5 stars
You can feel the quality even when you hold it on your hand. The weight and the material feels so original. The best sound card ever!

Réaction à chaud
Ça ne fait que quelques jours que je l'ai, ceci est une réaction à chaud que je modifierai sans doute à l'avenir quand le l'aurai un peu plus usée.
Pour l'instant, je n'y vois que des points forts:
- le son excellent: je ne suis pas un pro, mais il y a une nette différence dans la clarté avec ma Steinberg UR22
- le design est top, avec tout le câblage à l'arrière, le gros bouton de volume général, le bouton power qui n'est pas caché inutilement...
- j'adore le fait qu'elle puisse être alimentée par USB ou par transfo et fonctionner de manière autonome: je l'utilise non seulement comme carte son, mais aussi pour jouer de mes différents synthés sans avoir à allumer mon ordi
- on verra avec le temps, mais elle a vraiment l'air bien robuste, je compte d'ailleurs la trimballer un peu partout
- le nombre d'entrées est parfait pour faire un peu plus que du home studio, enregistrer du "live" pour un prix relativement démocratique: 4 micros pour une batterie, une entrée pour la basse et pour la guitare, et il reste encore 2 entrées bonus

Great DAAD interface with a major technical flaw
So, I bought this USB-C interface to replace my decade-old interface I had bought back in the days when Firewire seemed to be undying. Little did I know about the fact that USB-C has a technical flaw that can render the audio quality unbearable. If you are using a laptop or an older desktop with integrated USB-C port and your CPU is not all too powerful you can run into crackles and low quality audio during a life performance, because, apparently, USB depends on I/O scheduling of the CPU and USB-C with audio especially needs low latency on high quality settings. When your live performance setup, like with Ableton Live 11, uses too much CPU power on its own be prepared for audio issues. This is a killer. I mean, wow! The only thing that seems to help is switching to a USB-C to USB-3 adapter cable. Again, on older USB-C ports, newer ones might not be affected that much.
Besides that this device is actually amazingly well built and I really wish they will sort out the USB-C quality issues in the future.

On paper, great. in reality, a bit disappointing.
I was drawn to this initially because it had everything I needed from an Audio interface on in it. Everything was easy to access knobs and buttons wise, the unit itself is built very well, sturdy metal construction. The XLR inputs were on the back which allows my studio setup to stay relatively tidy cable wise (as most smaller interfaces have inputs on the front)
Unfortunately, what lets this interface down severely is the awful drivers M Audio provide. They are quite possibly some of the worse drivers I have ever seen on an Audio Interface. literally an hour into using the interface I realised this was not going to work.
I really wanted to like this interface but the Drivers really let it down.

Good sound, lots of inputs and outputs but a bit buggy driver
Good device for its price. I cannot compare it with many sound cards, but I think it sounds very good. Build quality is also great.
There are no any features like internal audio processing or routing, so it is a pure audio interface with cool handy controls.
As downside I can specify the driver (on Windows OS). Sometimes it resets settings to 48KHz 32bit, but I think I can handle it.

Lots of power and versatility for a reasonable price
Buid quality is great and instalation + dealing with drivers was a breeze. Well, it was a breeze after I realized the USB cable that came with it was malfunctioning and I had to replace it. Kind of disapoiting because you need and expect a high quality USB cable for a device like this. Other than that, it's an amazing tool.

great preamps!
The M-Audio192/14 works great! I only wish the was a switch for output 1/2 and 3/4. So you could use the volume control for another monitor set on output 3/4.

Best audio interface for the price
Very easy to used. Knobs are good quality and have nice feeling.
Some negatives:
Surface very glossy and after 5-10min he have a lot dust and finger prints.
Sound meters have only 3 leds.. Why....?? Its not enough for gain setup.
Overall its good pace of gear for beginner sound engineer.
