This has unbearably bad sound quality. Don't know how anyone uses it.

I realize you get what you pay for, but as someone who is just a music hobbyist, when my 10 year old M-Audio Fast Track Pro died the other day, I figured I didn't need to spend a ton of money replacing. Just anything that could connect my mic and piano to my computer should be fine. Well, I don't know how anyone anywhere has ever used this product. I'm so disappointed I bought it instead of something else because now I have to wait for the new product to arrive and have to return this one. I use a MacBook Pro and it immediately was recognized when I plugged it in. That's where any positives end. The hissing sound from the mic port, even when no mic is plugged in, is unbearable with any gain. Without gain, you can't hear or use the mic. The piano was even worse. No hissing sound, but any chord or combination of keys resulted in a terrible distortion, even with the gain at its lowest. Worst of all, even with the volume all the way up, the instruments were too quiet. I miss my Fast Track Pro desperately. Buying something else and hopefully it will work. You may as well use your computer mic before buying this piece of garbage. Furious I wasted time even opening the box.
