I like the idea of a 1/2 space unit that will record 2 live mics and 4 channels off the board for $350. I'd love to get more channels or pay less. Is there another product or is mr. audio clueless?

If you are serious about your music get a decent sound card with 24 bit 192 khz.. Then get good converters. RME has the best converters for the price BUT if your pockets run deep then go Apogee.

To tell you the truth, I think it's lazy to say that you shouldn't want something because it's difficult. problems are things to be overcome, not insurmountable obstacles. I kinda want one. 8x8 through USB2 is exactly what I happen to need. I'm just waiting for them to put the manual on the website so I can really dig into it before I make a decision.

The USB audio spec makes it very difficult for hardware developers to truly provide high-quality, consistent audio. You can google for phrases like "usb audio spec" and "usb audio problems" to learn more. If you’re serious about computer audio, get a firewire-based interface instead.
