Many of the cheaper interfaces lose 40% of their value the moment you buy them.If I were first starting out, I'd leap at the Babyface these days!Too often people ignore how an interface actually interfaces.It may not display this or other websites correctly.This means you cannot connect multiple Onyx-i devices to the same computer for simultanous use.But as far as I know this segment (sub-200?) doesn't receive much love in the drivers department.So, an upgrade is warranted, but it will serve its purpose for the moment.The knob controls all the levels: one click and it controls input 1, another and it controls input 2, a third click and you're controlling the output volume.For interfaces in this price range, I've found that the Onyx stuff has about as high quality of preamps as you can get (in this price range), and solid A to D.It could be a little delay (in the ms order), but I recorded a lot of things with my old interface that way, and it wasn't an issue for me.I really enjoy it, and the hardware monitoring is fantastic.Is it easy to use? For me, if it's a pain, I'm just not going to reach for it.At what level you had the gain set in the interface.If you think about it the Duet 2 can set you off without an upgrade for a long while.They seem to have a pretty solid track record on the Mac side of things.The maestro software is also very straight forward - control phantom power, switch inputs from mic to instrument to line without having to unplug anything.The only thing I like more about the Mackie is that it has a dedicated volume control for the input monitor I am going to sell my Blackjack and return to the Scarlett.The baby has breakout cables so if you don't like them you may want another interface.Anybodies input would be GREATLY will get something serviceable out and give a final verdict.What can I say?.
