The FireWire Solo is designed from the ground up as an easy-to-use, high-quality interface for songwriters to record guitars, vocals and more on the computer. Compatible with most popular music software, this compact bus-powered unit is small enough to go anywhere you want to take your music. In addition to the 1/4" guitar input right on the front panel, a professional XLR microphone input also lets you record vocals and acoustic instruments. There are also dual line inputs for effects, drum machines and other outboard gear. FireWire connectivity, up to 24-bit/96kHz sample rate support and digital I/O all add up to outstanding sonic performance. As simple to connect and operate as it is powerful, FireWire Solo is the foundation of your computer-based songwriting studio.
I've had to reboot my OS X box a few times when using this sucker, and occasionally the audio has gone south, but it seems reasonably stable lately. When it's working (which is most of the time), the audio is great. Headphone jack volume is not controllable seperate from the balanced outputs. There's also a blue LED light on the front of this thing that is roughly 10x as bright as it needs to be. The worst of it -- M Audio tech support seems to chose what they respond to, so I can't really can't recommend any of their products.
