Thanks Alort, Phil

"The nice thing about the Helix 17 is there's no great learning curve between banging some signals into the board, connecting it to your PC or Mac and commencing recording. No drivers are necessary to get the unit talking to your computer -- it's truly a plug 'n' play set up procedure. Record quality is locked at 16-bit/44.1k and monitoring latency problems are avoidable due to the live input monitoring nature of these units. The Helix 17 comes with a strangely generous input configuration -- 17 inputs in total![...]it's a good alternative to the reams of portastudio-style recorders. Far more versatile and so much easier to run. "
