its a mixer... sorry but i will say its lived up to my expectations and then some!
Sound:
i used to run sound for a small club and i used my mackie cfx20, we got this for the band to record demos and practice. great sound quality i can say i dont hear a difference bewteen the boards and mind you i paid over $1000 for the mackie when i got it new 10 years ago.

super simple! installed drivers and we were recording within 30mins!
Support:
havent used it, but im giving it a nine because the instruction manuel was very easy to read and figure out

super great starter into both live sound and recording. ive used much more "sophisticated" equiptment for both and im loveing this machine. but this now!!!

Phonic Helix24fw Mkii 24-channel Mixer With Firewire Phonic 4 bus Mixers Recording Feature: Pretty much does everything a MixWiz will, but this has the added option of Firewire I/O. Quality: Time will tell. Ive had this board for 6 months running the show in a rack, and had no problems. I have an old Phonic board Ive used for about 15 years, and had a scratchy pot. No other problems. I dont expect any, Value: This is a steal. Look at a Presonus firepod and its limited capabilities then look at this. Desirability: LOL. It looks like a mixer. Sound: Very transparent preamps. Many of the effects are good as well, but I do not use them (have another source) so we can use all of the aux channels for personal monitor mixes. Ease of Use: Its a mixing board. Know how to run one? Then this one is a piece o cake. Support: Never dealt with them. Overall: This thing is great for live use. Weve used it with great results in the studio as well. The drivers worked perfectly and everything worked great with a desktop. Had limited luck with a laptop. This board is worth every penny.

Phonic Firefly 808 18-channel Firewire Audio Interface Phonic Firewire Audio Interfaces Computer Music Feature: A feature I dont like is the Cross Fader, you cant save the setting so it always comes up in Bus-1 from PC mode. In other words if I dont want to hear the input monitor all of the time I cant save this in the mixer panel. You have to go into the mixer and move the fader all the way to the right. Quality: Seems like a strong box, even if it is made in China. Value: With all of the ins and outs on this unit you cant beat the price. Sound: Sounds great, equal to my RME multiface II. Ease of Use: Very simple to use. Works with Samplitude-10 with no problems. Support: Have not made contact with them yet. And hope I never have to. Overall: Plan on adding another. Get full 16 I/Os.
