I got it as my first audio interface and it's what I use in my main setup at home. The top of the unit has the LEDs for all the various inputs so you can monitor clipping from a central location and it has a massive volume button. The box is polished, beautifully constructed and every control is solid none of the knobs are shaky or flimsy.
You get more than what you pay for in this package because in addition to the unit itself you also get a disc with NI Komplete Elements, Cubase LE 6 and a demo of Traktor LE 2 to get you started recording and editing audio. The rear has a MIDI in port, MIDI out, SPDIF, balanced 1/4 inch input and output, a balanced 1/4 inch output for studio monitors and a button for turning the phantom power on and off. The front panel has 2 XLR/instrument inputs each with a gain control, a headphone jack, a monitoring control which has the option to switch between stereo and mono and mute button for toggling the monitor or off. The Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 is a USB audio interface which has a total of 6 inputs and 6 outputs.
