Works as advertised. Small & compact. Perfect for my Laptop. Cue mix software is the best way to control the mixer functions. From the front panel it can get a bit tedious. Solid construction.

Very good

I've had two of these, both failed... just google the unit and see what you get... MOTU support so far has been useless, very very frustrating... avoid this one, I suspect a bad chip or design flaw.

Great unit

The installation CD for MOTU UL mk3 didn't work....download the drivers from the @. I had to register the device for that and after we downloaded the drivers the device is still not working!... I'm extremely disappointed.

The verdict is still out.

I use this product for composing songs. I am not sure what might be great about this product, it seems to be as good as the 828 I already own. No complaints thus far.
