My first Audio interface
This is my first audio interface to ever start my journey off with and I think I picked well, this interface does everything i need it, its slick, compact and sturdy, i use all the knobs and they dont feel flimsy or anything, In all honesty the compressor doesnt seem to do a TON but im still figuring it out I suppose, I used this with the SD-1 mic and it works perfect so no complaints except that I sometimes hear a crackling on certain buffer sizes in FL studio but thats it.

Excellent product
One of the best budget interfaces I have used so far contrary to UAD x4 gen 2 with which I have had so many problems despite the huge difference in Price. I actually bought the x4 based on my great experience with Volt. I bought the ultimate bundle and still struggling with crackles and incompatibility both on Mac and Windows. I really regret buying it.

Great for home recordists
The sound is natural and accurate. The vintage compressor is highly useful, and the vintage pre-amp sounds authentic.
