M-Audio AIR 192|6

I'd been looking for a while for a suitable interface for my ubuntu-studio driven DAWs and now I found it! The M-Audio AIR 192|6 is fully class-compliant and will work straight-out-of-the-box; plug it in and start recording, no hassle with drivers or other shit! Since my computer is double-booted, I downloaded the ProTools and Ableton software for my windows 10 driven DAWs but I couldn't be bothered to try and integrate it in my open-source environment...These guys allways find ways to complicate you live. Viva linux; we need more products like these M-Audio AIR 192 lines!

I am using this for my home studio and it's okay for my casual use. The clarity of the sound and recording is good and user friendly. Would like it to be more compact or the sound to be crisper but it is okay to what I only need. You can purchase this if you are just using it for a home studio. If you need more for professional use then buy higher specs but it comes with a price.

I was between this one and the Focusrite and 6 months later I am definitely not regretting going with M-Audio. It is sturdy, the knobs are good quality and the sound is crystal clear, the preamps in the balanced inputs are very good as well. Furthermore, the addition of the direct output paired with the ability to mix it with USB is incredibly helpful. The only problem is that after a few months of use, the little rubber legs underneath it started coming off as they are only held to the body with some not so strong glue.

Overall a very good choice!

It works. It has a big practical knob. It has all the necessary inputs and outputs a desk needs.

Looks great, nice knobs. Unfortunately, there are a few cons in this device:
1. It doesn't properly work with Ubuntu Linux (the device is visible but cannot get it to work properly as an input device). AlsaMixer doesn't offer any settings to change because of physical knobs. Also tried with pavucontrol util. Probably it's possible to get it to work somehow as proper input, but not as easy as plug-n-play.
2. The big wheel knob at the center of the device makes the physical sound of scratching/grinding (probably smth between the wheel and cover). Very annoying.

The build quality is really good and aesthetically I like the looks and design of this audio interface.

I used it for recording vocals with a condenser microphone and recording guitars using the instrument inputs, and I got amazing power and clarity with both the vocals and guitars.

I only tried listening through headphones though still need to try it on studio monitors though.

Overall an okay product but the drivers are not working (on windows). Although if you just want to use it so you can use your mic in discord or skype its okay

And looks quite nice too

simple to use, stylish and very low noise connectors, I use it to record myself on the saxophone, guitar and voice.
