Well.... iffin that don't just take the cake....

huh? one likes it and one recommends against it....

So....I really don't care because I use Focusrite...and it's a firewire interface. Over 6 years old and still rocking hard like day one.

All I know is that lots of people use M-Audio with great success so I always include it in a short list.

I always recommend against the Layla line, the UNO line, and factory cards of all types. I also recommend against the gimmick stuff like mixers and interfaces combined and guitar modelers/interfaces..... and heck no.... you better not buy a USB mic.....

Aside from that, I'm pretty much OK with anything else that runs native ASIO drivers and has preamps and phantom power built in.
