"Does not work well with windows vista, 32 or 64, and does not work with windows 7 64 at all for recording. All they would need to do is switch the way the driver interprets the input; yet, they refuse to develop a new driver, or make the driver open source now that they no longer want to support it. I used to think it was a great deal; yet, now I hate this company because they have shown how little they care about the customer."

"it took me a week to get a response from the local Canadian version of customer support. This company is horrible, and always blames the OS or other software when it is really their hardware."
