5.0 out of 5 starsperfect for mac, affordable and reliable
By CF on September 1, 2010
Got this unit with some reserve....I had an M-audio Fast Track, and I was not sure why the Alesis was so affordable and with 2 IN for the instruments or mic.

The quality of the case is very low; cheap plastic for the case and the knobs, same for the switches and mic connectors; the only metal parts are the 3.5 inch jack where you plug your guitars or your external equipment, and the headphone OUT

The unit itself looks cheap, but what it matters is what it does; and this pup does it right.

I've hooked it to my Mac pro via USB, and as soon as i plugged it, Snow leopard recognized it; I just had to switch my audio settings to redirect the audio in, audio out and system sounds to the io2 and everything is set up.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMore pleased than I had anticipated.
By Franklin Taggart on January 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
I bought the io2 express from Alesis as a temporary stand in for my Presonus Firebox which needed some maintenance after five years of heavy use. I saw the Alesis and since the price was right, went ahead and ordered one. I'm very impressed with this interface. Impressed enough to put my Presonus on the shelf for a while.

I'm using this with a three year old Dell XPS laptop with a dual core processor and 2 GB RAM. The pros that I see with the io2 express are these:

It's USB bus powered so it doesn't need its own external power supply. That makes it as compact and lightweight as possible. It's small enough to fit inside the front pocket of my laptop case.

Its installation and use have been the easiest of any interface I've used. Within five minutes of opening the box I was recording a guitar track. I did end up opting to use the ASIO4All drivers that are available on the Product page of Alesis' web site. They improved the latency from that of the class compliant driver by about 5ms. Class compliant latency was about 11ms, ASIO4All was 6ms. I suspect that with newer, faster computers that the latency will be lower.

It has the ins and outs that I need for about 95 percent of the recording and mixing I do. Two XLR ins on the top, two line/instrument ins on the top, an insert on each channel(this makes me very happy. I can now run a different effect on each channel at the same time. There is a mic/line/instrument switch on each channel, a headphone jack on top with mono/stereo switch for monitoring, and a separate level control for the headphones. There is a mix control that allows you to control the mix of the tracks that are being recorded with the tracks that the computer is playing back. No software mixers!Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Hardware - No Access Code for Software
By Joegee on December 4, 2013

This interface does what it says it does.Very easy to use device. No real mysteries here. I am using this in conjunction with a Mac Notebook with an upgraded system - Mavericks, with 8GB of RAM. Plug your usb wire from the IO2 into your Mac. Then go into your System Preferences and click Audio and then select the IO2 as the input device. Then go into your Applications folder and click on the Utility folder. Then clik on the MIDI icon with the piano keys. That will pull up a box where you simply click on the IOS icon in the upper left side of the box to select it as the functioning audio device. This will shut down your Mac speakers so you won't hear anything coming from them. Not having a speaker set up yet, I plugged a 1/4 inch guitar cord from the R speaker jack of the IO2 into the input jack of my practice amp. Yes, it is a pretty crude thing to do, but it works as a temporary way to hear what you are doing. I just make the amp as clean as I can get it so I can hear what the software is up to. Hope that helps someone with a Mac.

ACCESS CODE INFO
A Heads up on the activation of this unit and the access code. It's done through an online process. You first must download the software onto your hard drive from the Cubase CD in order to find the following folders - Here are the directions from Cubase:

To copy a Soft-eLicenser number, open the eLicenser Control Center (eLCC) which can be found in the "Program Files" (Windows) or "Applications" (Mac) folder. Select "Registration" from the top menu, choose the 20-digit Soft-eLicenser number and click on "Copy Serial Number". Now paste the number into the corresponding field in MySteinberg.

You have to also have set up your Steinberg account with an ID and password. Hope something here helps.
