"Great Buy - Great Product"

I bought this for my girlfriend along with the Emu USB MIDI interface. Both were simple plug 'n play on her lowly eMac G4, and now she's in GarageBand heaven. I bought the refurb, no problem there, it's new and factory fresh. It comes with a nice selection of samples and plug-ins as well as discWelder Bronze and Cubase LE. There are some cool plug-ins included in the Pluggo Jr. package, so there was a bonus in there for me (at no extra cost). Not bad for a c-note. The unit works great for her; simple and to the point, compact and flexible. All the I/O you really need for most purposes. The Mac software front end is easy to use and there's a built-in level limiter as well as boost. Couldn't be happier with it.

No problems on a macbook using garageband. Clear, easy to use, and good sound. Syncs immediately and is great as an audio interface for simple recording and playback.
