There is a noisy 'hiss' on EACH track, which means if you're using all 8 channels it can build up into some pretty awful white noise

but the interface has a noisy hiss by default regardless of what is plugged into the rest of the mixer and even if every knob is turned all the way down

I would like to not have to use noise suppression because it kind of garbles the sound, but it isn't an option with this mixer unless I just leave a fuzzy hiss in the background, which I just can't let slide personally

The one recommendation I would have though is if you are thinking about buying it, get into a store or shop that carries them and discuss how you want to use it and ask for a demo recording to see if it's producing a noisy hiss from the

It's very noise no matter what you do, hiss hiss hiss.

But to make matters worse, with pots to 0 db and inputs disconnected, when I recorded a track an annoying hiss is present though down

Cant even record anything with it the hiss is louder then my voice

Additionally, it seems this hiss is significantly worse on the first two channels, and turning up the gain knobs at all can easily start to drown out the other channels

That was when I got this product 2-3 years ago, now the hiss is still the same and the mixer as a whole has lost the ability to mix in stereo

The problem is that the second one I ordered displayed the same behavior (very loud hiss when volume on mic inputs and master input was set to a conservative "zero")I'm very comfortable with amplifiers and theater receivers.

Hard as H!@# to use

So when you want to record successive tracks, the input of the new track is delayed in the headphones compared to the old track(s)
