This is the review I needed, having watched so many other MT48 reviews, all of which are amazing, however you have a guitarists mind and workflow and you point out so many things that matter. Thank-you and I look forward to exploring your other content.
Thanks man. Yeah sometimes not getting into the technical weeds on stuff like this helps. If you do end up deciding to buy this unit, consider using my affiliate link to help out my channel. Zzounds does price matching too.
I like reviews from ppl who aren’t engineers. For one they aren’t sponsored and secondly, since I’m not a pro engineer by any means, someone who isn’t as experienced in that field can lmk how practical it is for the everyday person who doesn’t have the experience or time to be a master class engineer.
From one guitar player to another, this is a useful review. This thing moves the whole computer inside the interface. I guess it's bus-compliant so it just dumps audio channels into anything that accepts a USB connection. On the one hand, you can do almost anything in the box and with a device that's easier to control live, on the other hand, you pay the price of another computer. I wonder if the convertors and A/D really are better than more dumb interfaces, or if the price is just the internal processing (looking at you, UA). So I guess the real consideration is how much worth it is for you to leave your computer at home or at least untouched. I suppose you can record both the processed and raw sound over USB, so if you mess up, you can correct later?
Yeah it gives you the option to record both a dry and processed signal but I haven't messed with that. Not having to mess with software mixing is great. I'm a lot more comfortable just setting levels, sliders, panning and what not on the unit itself. As far as I'm aware, no other interface does that unless you get an actual mixer and usb connect to your computer. Something like the QSC Touchmix may work but I doubt it has preamps as good as this unit and it's much bigger. The RME Fireface UCX II was also on my list and came highly recommeded but I think needs the drivers and mixer software on the computer to work right. This unit is just so simple and straight forward and intuitive. We've all used mixers by now and if you can figure out a mixer, this thing is a piece of cake and delivers instant results.

I’ve seen quite a lot of reviews for this and I think this one is my first like. Relatability pays off. Keep doing u
