If you have a home studio this is an affordable way to go

This noise was making its way to my recordings too :-(For what ended up being less than twice the price of the Behringer I decided to try this unit

For $100 or so this is a great way to start recording.

Like the title says, this is great for those starting out, just messing around with Garageband or Cubase, or an amateur just wanting a cheap, convenient way to record

If you want simple, balanced or unbalanced audio output with front facing inputs, an easy way to have a front-facing headphone jack without having to climb behind your computer, and the ability to do instrument input, this is a good way to go.

The Lexicon Alpha has no problems at all putting out a robust signal that way

Either way, these problems have been extremely minor and should not deter you from considering this product

This has been absolutely perfect for the use it was purchased for: an easy way of connecting intruments (in this case several mics and a keyboard) to a laptop's USB for recording into a DAW

If you a cheap way to plug up monitors using TRS to your computer, this is the cheapest option I found.

The Behringer performs very well for my use (guitar in a home studio), but recently it's become way too sensitive to interference; I was getting noise from the nearby cable modem / router / network drives

This is not for beginners found out the hard way

when things don't work the 1st time not sure what else to say at this time unless some magic comes my way to show me something the instructions didn't

As a music teacher I bought this to educate myself on the possibility of recommending the Lexicon Alpha to my students as a great way to start learning the recording process without breaking an arm and a leg

Either way, these problems have been extremely minor and should not deter you from considering this product

Like the title says, this is great for those starting out, just messing around with Garageband or Cubase, or an amateur just wanting a cheap, convenient way to record

It's a great simple way to hook up my KRK rokits to my laptop with balanced cables, and a microphone if I ever feel like using it

For a hobbyist like me, it's a great inexpensive way to get pretty good sounding guitar input in my projects

OK, as far as basics go, the thing works as you'd expect any product in its class.
