I bought this mixing console to play guitar and bass on Ableton Live and I am not disappointed. It does its job and the sound in the headphones is really good. However, it requires a bit of skill and since I don't have any experience with mixing consoles, I struggled all afternoon to figure out how to hear the sound of my guitar with the software but I finally found out, so I'm learning slowly. I recommend this product for those who have a small budget like me and want to set up a small studio in their room, you won't be disappointed. Well, now I just need to buy the speakers and the master keyboard and I'll be pretty good for my part. Thanks WoodBrass. Plus, I received it 3 days after ordering, honestly that's fast....
