Only thing Im working with is a cable that didnt match to my Macbook Pro and input signals being weak to my software. Mackie could have made this easier with direct individual links to win7 drivers.

That still leaves channels 1 and 2 free into which I plug the outputs from my favorite preamp. I have windows 7 and the drivers that came with the unit are for xp and vista. Though not perfect, it is perhaps my most important piece of gear, 820l I know of no alternative that comes close. You can even return 2 channels from your DAW back into the i and integrate them into your mix.

The two stereo aux returns also function perfectly as alternative stereo inputs. You can tap into the power of computer recording in new ways with its deep DAW integration. They couldnt do that and still do everything else that people fault them for. The sound quality is very decent for something in this price range as well.

I cant say that the preamps are my favorites, but they are great for trimming line signals and do have a nice warm sound of their own The recordings through firewire are not as good as my seven-times-as-expensive Apogee Ensemble, but they are still plenty good, and when Im inspired, capture is a mere click away.
