    Why do you believe this is the industry standard?

    I've been really loving this interface, moving from the Focusrite 2i2. I've been really fond of it because of the dramatic difference in my audio/recording when using this interface; my setup practically sounds like a studio setup now (even though I'm home), and every detail in the audio stands out for peak audio engineering performance. I have to say the low latency is a blessing and I no longer have any audio lag issues while recording/listening… I AM IMPRESSED. This product is so inspirational; I've signed up for vocal/piano classes so I can fully utilize it as I imagined. Would recommend if you have the funds! P.S: The Gen 2 is compatible with my Mac desktop and my Asus laptop, which is a plus, since Universal Audio is not known to be very Windows-compatible. So it's great they're trying to turn things around and make a difference! Also, you get UA’s best plugins included, like the LA 2A COMP!
