Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the audio mixing console. Some mention that the live multitrack recording capability is the big appeal for this mixer, with at least 8 line inputs and USB recording. It works for track recording to DAW and is great for recording, while others say that it has software installation problems on Windows 10.

Phenomenal features , pre-amps and quality.
5 Stars
Phenomenal features , pre-amps and quality.
I bought the Notepad 12FX for my home studio use. I have owned multiple audio interfaces (Scarlett, NI Komplete Audio 6 and Audient) however was always falling short on input ports. Bought this mixer to expand the inputs and was planning on using it as an aggregate device with my Audient audio interface. However the quality and features on this mixer are so phenomenal that I am using this solely as an audio interface + mixer. The pre-amps and AD-DA converters are great quality and did not notice any downgrade from Audient which themselves are highly rated for pre-amp and converter quality.The feature set on this mixer is nothing short of amazing - compared to its peers such as the Mackie ProFX or Yamaha or Allen and Heath zed series. The aux bus is super handy for creating a monitor mix separate from the master mix. Also this is a 4in 4 out audio interface which is not common in units of this price range. Knob and fader quality is great. The Lexicon effects are short in number but I did not buy it for the effects anyways. I believe the included delay, reverb and chorus are adequate for any monitoring use if necessary - but most folks will rely on VST or external pedals for these effects anyways.The only complaint is the lack of a power switch - but that is easy to address using an external toggle switch or a power strip with individual on/off switches.Soundcraft has done a great job of creating a product that is feature rich and just perfect for home studio use.
