5.0 out of 5 stars Great audio interface for travelling musicians
Reviewed in India on December 12, 2018
Really good product. Preamps r clean and quiet even on high gain. Unison technology is godsend. Apart from 14 analog classic bundle plugins i also got one extra neve preamp plugin after regestering at there website for free. Everything sounds buttery smooth through 610b and neve preamp plugins. I like neve more as it provide more warmth
U cant run plugins without arrow connected to the computer which is a bummer. Also even if u use them in daw as inserts it will still use arrow’s dsp not the computers processing power so its easier to run to overload notice as it only hs one dsp chip. I use this to track through unison so i am ohk for now. But will hv to buy the satellite unit for mixing.
