    Software is trash but the product itself can be used without it and works just fine. I will be replacing it with a rode caster soon enough.

    I bought this to use a Rode Microphone with. I was super excited but I ran into a huge issue right from the start. The mute button on the back of the unit was a capacitive button, where a touch turns the mic on and off. It got to a point, rather quickly, where the unit would just keep muting and unmuting itself, forcing me to unplug and plug back in the unit to get it working again just so I can step away. It's a nice device, but I can't stand that issue.

    Very easy to use compared to every mixer. It may not be the best in audio, mixing, or anything in terms of audio, but it is definitely the best in keeping it simple and straightforward to use. In other words, you pay for ease of use, not quality.

    I replaced a flaky Focusrite Scarlett 3 with this Elgato audio device. The elgato software is significantly more stable, the hardware has fewer issues with audio cut-outs under load and is generally more reliable.

    Huge bang for your buck with this interface. Easy to set up, fantastic software and plugins. Using with the Shure SM7B without a cloudlifter.

    Excellent if you are looking for something similar and cheaper than a goxlr. I ended up buying a headset amp. So you might have to spend an extra 100$ if you have hig end headphones

    Not quite what I was looking for if you are on budget and don't mind not having actual physical buttons this is for u. Everything is pretty much setup via software (ELGATO)

    Absolutely wonderful for the price you cannot beat it. It’s practically a goxlr for less than half the price and it’s integration in the Elgato ecosystem is wonderful
