"Falls short in key areas"

Thought this mixer would help consolidate a mixer and audio interface into one unit, but it falls short in three key aspects.1) The USB audio level is about 50% quieter than the analog output. Verified this with other users online and is a result of cheap components.2) It is possible to alter USB channels 3/4 to be the channel strips 3/4 or the main mix, but when using software like Zoom or BandLab, they only see USB channels 1/2, so it's almost useless.3) There is very noticeable scratchy noise when adjusting knobs on this unit.

Maybe it was something wrong with my Mac, but it would be the first time...this sound AWFUL through usb. I have used m-audio and presonus before with great sound. After several years of not recording, I decided to dabble again. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, but KNEW I wanted an actual board this time. I should have gone a different route. This will get moved to only being used for my wife’s DJ gigs. Again, great sound with speakers, just not good at all as interface.
