This device works out-of-box on Ubuntu 16+. The stereo/mono switch is invaluable when monitoring mono sources like guitars and vocals. I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on the preamp, but it sounds much cleaner than my previous M-Audio interface. There is no phantom power that I can see, but I also haven't looked at the manual either. I have no idea what the bundled software is like, I just plugged it in a got started. I liked this interface so much I bought a second for a friend and installed it easily on a Dell laptop with Windows XP. Lexicon really captured the correct price-point with this item.

The software on this unit is hard to install and instructions are vague. The registration process for the item takes several steps and is overly complicated. Most companies have you click a button and it takes you to the website or uploads registration. This one has you chasing things down in hard to find places to copy and paste serial numbers etc. Try not to buy this unless you have a software engineering degree and enjoy challenges

This product came just about as expected for the retail price range that it fits into, with all the features of a more expensive audio device such as an M-Audio Fast Track, or even the disputed Tascam 144. Audio out put was very clear, with no notable troubles putting enough volume into recording software. I used the copy of Cubase LE that came with the hardware with no trouble whatsoever. Recording in this manner is easy and painless, with good sound quality. The bummer comes when you try to use a larger software suite in combination with multiple input devices, and strain the CPU as well as the sound card beyond their limits instantly. FL Studio handles everything very well until the underruns begin piling up quickly enough to cause an audio trainwreck. All in all, if you want something to improve latency times, save up for something more expensive. But if you're just starting out and want something for recording vocal tracks individually, or multiple tracks to build a song with cubase, this is your cheap ticket home!Read full review
The hardware part works excellent it seems to be good quality and well made. The recording software is over complicated to the point that they should offer college courses on how to use it. I think my point is made when you see the manual on the CD is nearly 600 pages but if you have time to learn it I'm sure you could probably do any type of recording you could possibly need. I guess my needs are more simple I just want to lay down a track and be able to burn it on a CD something I've yet to figure out with this software I got the track recorded but can't convert the file to .wav for recording to the CD witch it is suppose to do. I guess I'll figure it out eventually. I think they should include a simplified version for amateurs like me.
Works well with jackd/qjackctl under Ubuntu Studio 11.04. It needs to be plugged into a USB 2.0 port to work properly. Be sure to install the lowlatency kernel from here: https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa Audio quality seems decent. I've only used it to record my Taylor 414CE acoustic/electric guitar so far. For around $50, it's a great audio adapter. Although its highest sample rate is 48000 samples per second at 24 bits. I generally don't use 96k samples per second any way, even when it's available.
