Generates small-clips have changed when the frequency of filter.

SOUND QUALITY

It is quite effective the preamp impedance very easy to set up the more the more brilliant and c is the function that goes up the air only in the high impedance spectrum c is really the only highlight of this machine (the preamp).
-Eq works well when were not at the famous Buzz 50hrz, but still quite cold.
It works well in mono compressor but beware linkage for stereo and do not stick pence a mix in general.
-Sa would be nice if all c Focusrite calibrated machine is the same way ....
because these two aillant ISA430MkII I said what can not be calibrated.
Finally, especially not to make digital options in under risk of big big problems.

(I would put a score of 6 for the preamp, but for the rest hula without comment)

OVERALL OPINION

It sounds a lot but when its march to a ton of design flaws that there are over j orient more to the choice of another brand.

the ISA110 and a very good machine but I would say not as much n the ISA430MkII
thank you to China to any gadget pure light ...

A good machine is a machine that has a single utility.
and after I had the ISA430MkII remake the error never buy a machine all in one because blah blah blah
