    Once you get this up and running it's very easy to use. It will take some time to get used to the software. I like that you can manage all of the audio sources in one application.

    Excellent software this should be the go to mic especially for the price unfortunately the no VST support kept it from a perfect score due to it picking up a lot of ambient noise
