So far so good...

Had it over a year with no problems. I've learned that if you treat your equipment right it will last you a lot longer. Phantom power is a great feature, output for monitors is also great. I've noticed that I really have to crank the gain when recording, but it could be the DAW or the mics I use. Overall a great buy.

Lousy preamps/phantom power

I love the feature set which makes recording easy (no fiddling with things on the computer side, it's all controlled by actual physical knobs, and it has MIDI in/out too), but the preamps are noisy and don't do a good job of amplifying the inputs. Expect to need a mixer to drive the line inputs to get sufficient volume into your DAW, plugging your mikes into the XLR ports won't get you sufficient volume without maxing out the volumes, which in turn gives way too much noise with the noisy preamps. Also, the phantom power isn't actually 48v and won't do a good job of powering most condenser mikes. Again, need a mixer. I've finally managed to kill the preamps in mine after two years (forgot to reset the volume on my mixer down, it was set for going into a PA, and the magic smoke came out of the Lambda) and need to buy another product (it's not worth fixing this thing). I am *not* buying another Lambda, I'm going to buy something with better pre's.

A disappointment

I have been using this to record in Cubase LE and as part of my audio out chain. It has given me numberous problems. After recording in Cubase, I have to unplug the USB cable and 'reset' the unit, or I will not be able to play back a .wav file of what I just recorded. Today it stopped playing back music files. I am tired of this finicky unit!

Avoid it like the plague

Pros: - Didn't fall apart yet - Comes with 48v phantom power

Cons: - Sound sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Restarting the application sometimes helps. - When running multiple apps the sound quality gets heavily distorted and sounds like nails on a chalk board. I've had $5 sound cards that can function on multiple apps. - 48v phantom power has a mid-high frequency hum that is more than slightly audible. - Signal can't get loud enough. Mic is barely audible even at full volume. Tested on several mics. - Support? What's support? I've never had this many problems out of any single piece of hardware.

Not Compatible With 64-bit

This interface is absolutely horrible. On any 64-bit operating system, it will skip and skip and skip. Even if you have a 32 bit operating system, dont buy this product. If you decide to ever upgrade your copmuter, you will be forced to also upgrade your interface.
