Received Last week, First impression is good
ifacoustic 21.11.2017
Look nice, small and lightweight. Maybe not the most robust but no problem for homestudio/rehearsal
Simple and minimalist (no power switch, no power indicator, no 48v switch, ..) But not a problem for me
Preamp clear, Neutral, Good gain, no breath, pop's or other
All linds of Mic / Inst are well supported (Sure S58, RodeNt1, Bass guitar, Digital Piano, ..)
Simple and effective effects
Real 2/2 USB (Directly recognizable by Ableton after Installation of PC drivers)
You can record two tracks simultaneously in your favorite DAW
Different routing options in order to assign Mixer Inputs to the two USB tracks
Also two separate output tracks from the DAW to the mixer

The only "weak" point i see, but you can deal with it:
You always have to play with two
Knobs "FX / AUX (blue)" and "Input Level (big red)" in order to adjust the good balance between level and effect on a channel.
Also in order to completely silent a channel, your have to turn both knobs to zero

But first impression is Simple and Efficient

Does a good job recording synths over USB.
Sprite Dreams 07.12.2021
Excellent sound. It seems just right for my setup: currently a Volca Bass, Microfreak and Medusa plugged into mono channels, and Blofeld and Model:Samples in two stereo channels. It has one mono channel and one stereo (but RCA version) still available. I use the secondary headphone output as send effect (Ocean Machine effect pedal) which returns a stereo signal.

I just wish the onboard effects could be effective even when receiving an effect return. Also it would have been nice if all channels would be recorded separately over USB (it can do two mono channels, or the stereo mix).

Also, for a beginner without experience in mixing, I found it a bit obscure to fiddle with synth volume, input gain and the proper channel levels for my effect send pedal, which can crackle if the input is too loud. Most of the time I can resolve any issue quickly, though.

I suspect isolated brief drop-outs in the recorded audio were produced in my laptop (i7, 16 GB, Windows 10, Audacity) by background processes.

Solid and versatile
Gaborhalasz Art 03.05.2023
I have been using this mixer now for 6 month, mainly for electronic music producing. For the first impression it is a solid unit with nice bulit quality. I have recorded manly synthesizers and other line level inputs, therefore I have not much experience with recording vocals with it. However I believe in this price range this mixer provides a really clean sound and the FX processor is just giving that extra touch for your mix that melt sounds together.

The user experience of it is really nice. Everithing is under hand and quiet straight forward. It does what you would expect from this level of mixer.
I found it relyable, it connects easily with my DAW.

I can recomend it into home studios and even I believe it can serve good for small bands on live performances.

100's of shows!
Carl SOUL 06.07.2019
I was unlucky to order a faulty device when these first came out. My original review was not good. A replacement was sent promptly by Thomann and I can say that after many years and 100's of shows this robust little mixer still plugs on!. For the money I think it's just great. You should buy one!
