Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 Mk2

Other USB interfaces I recently tried (two other brands) were promptly returned because of connectivity issues and, in the case of the Apogee Jam X, very poor build quality.Third time lucky?Oh, the Joy! The Kontakt Komplete Audio 1 is a fabulous unit and I wish I had saved myself the hassle and bought this one first! Once drivers are downloaded and installed the USB audio interface connects perfectly. Recording guitar through my DAW the sound quality is outstanding and the simplicity of the interface makes using it a breeze.I was using a Boss BR 80 before, as an audio interface, and while it works ok the quality was lacking a bit. It also had some unwanted noise issues.But the Komplete Audio 1 absolutely ticks all the boxes for me.And at the price it's excellent value for money.If you are undecided about an audio interface for your vocals/instrument don't hesitate. This little box allows you to get creative immediately with no frustrations or compromised sound quality. I love it!

Just getting started in the music production world, I needed an audio interface and after having researched a fair bit decided on the KOMPLETE Audio 1.Beautifully presented and built. Not only does this interface look good, it works perfectly.Very easy to set up and the software packaged with it (Available when you register), provides you with a burst of enthusiasm as well.For my very simple setup, Midi Keyboard, Speakers, Headphones and Mic, it's perfect and I would highly recommend to anyone else looking for an interface that gets you started.Very pleased with my purchase.

Wow can't believe how much I saved, this truly is a professional midi interface and it comes with Ableton plus loads of quality software, this will inharnse your music making, as the software is all professional quality, the best bit is the price, couldn't find a cheaper deal anywhere, great seller and received it the next day, nice one Amazon!

One of the only modern/sleek looking interfaces that will fit in a small minimalist setup. It does what it needs to do for the price point, it has some great tactile knobs for volume and out of the box worked great, didn't even need a driver download, although they do exist if you're having issues. Good quality and powered studio monitors pretty well though the headphone amp is somthing to be desired. Do not expect to drive 250 ohm headphones with this, you'll need a headphone amp.

This product is a prime case of all fur coat and no knickers.It looks great and sounds clean (albeit with quite low output overall).The main oversight with this unit is the lack of direct monitoring options without the use of a DAW.Direct monitoring is only possible through the headphone outputs unless you have a DAW running in the background to route the input signals to the main output.If you had a guitar going through an axe fx or helix unit and wanted to just plug in and hear the direct signal through the main out, this is impossible without a DAW running.If you were a DJ and wanted to run traktor Pro along with some external cd or vinyl decks then you would have to run traktor software AND an DAW to set the direct monitoring routing. This causes undue system strain and the possibility of dropouts and clicks and pops due to sharing the card between two programs.I suspect that this could all be resolved by the release of a small software program that could toggle this option such as the way focusrite have implemented their direct monitoring through focusrite control.This is boxed and ready for return.Very disappointed.

Really can't fault the NI interface. For the home studio I think this really provides the keen amateur with pretty much most of what you are going to need. This latest version is quiet and has the added benefit of a little LED indication to help you to know if your inputs are getting close to clipping. Also has a handy blend feature where you can adjust wet and dry mix from your DAW.Like it a lot

I use this for recording on the go with my laptop. Good and easy to use. I wouldn't use it as my main interface but as a spare/travel interface.

Fantastic Audio Interface for the price. I was originally using the Behringer UMC22 on my Mac, which was giving me a big white noise problem when recording my bass through Logic. The Komplete Audio 1 completely fixed that and gave my bass more life in recordings.Although constructed of plastic, the box is strong and the controls feel responsive.After registering my serial number with Native Instruments I received a free copy of Guitar Rig Pro 5 (worth £179.99) which made this purchase even better. Check for promotions when buying these things to get the most out of your purchase!Great piece of kit at a great price.
