My Son was expressing his interest in making music, so I decided its time.
got this one as a 16 yo birthday gift.
me and my wife ended up trying it for several hours while he and his friends were celebrating outdoors.
He is carrying it with him to his Dorm and back home, and generally very happy.
The initial courses and free Software versions help, but you will need to get full versions obviously, if you want to really use it properly. the headphones, the board and the speakers are all very good. I believe its on the verge between beginners and mid level and its really affordable.
I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants to start mixing as a hobby and not yet sure on what exactly they need in terms of more complicated setups. We are very happy with this kit as is our son.
