Arturia - MiniFuse 2 - Compact USB Audio & MIDI Interface with Creative Software for Recording, Production, Podcasting, Guitar - White

Great audio interface for Windows. Easy setup, sounds as good as focusrite Scarlett solo to me, for less money. I also like the addition of the USB hub. Feels well made, does what it is supposed to, I'm happy with it.

I really love the Minifuse Control Center interface, it is straight forward, very intituive and works with the DAWs I use. Latency is inaudible if any. I know there are better and more complex in the market, but this one is affordable, well built and does the job for me.

This MiniFuse is very compact, has excellent audio quality and good value for the money. It has a small learning curve to install app etc. (at least for us old analog dogs;). But this gets your job done well, and doesn't break your bank. Thumbs up!

Great! Solved my Audio problems with Ableton Lite 12. Works great. Arturia make good quality products.

So sick, plug n play with a keyboard I bought. Make sure you download the software they bundle with this product, you get sounds and license to ableton which is essential. Ableton is not the best software, there’s bugs and I have to restart but it’s cool that they bundled software with this equipment.

This is my 4th audio interface in 20-some years, albeit my first USB-connected one. I was looking for something to replace my aging firewire system (Ryzen 1700x/Focusrite Saffire Pro 14) in a new laptop and interface. Laptop was acquired, so the hunt began. My prerequisites: at least 1 mic(phantom)/instrument input, an additional stereo input, spdif out, bus-powered, and $300 or less. Well, after searching high and low, 4 out of 5 points were ticked and the lower price tag lead me to this. The only thing I'm missing is spdif out, which is how I currently connect to my receiver. I'd gladly sacrifice analog outs 3/4 to that end.The setup was easy, as I had everything downloaded and ready to go before it arrived. The drivers are kind of funky and I don't like how they're implemented. Configuring the routing was simple, as was the ASIO, however, the sample rate is set by the application, instead of a driver setting. You'll have to set it correctly in Window audio properties, otherwise any media players will stick it at the default of 44.1.The device's casing has a nice feel to it. The inputs recorded clean enough for my liking and output sounds great. The second headphone jack could be useful some people. The big dial on the front controls the output volume without affecting the headphone outs. I like that it is bus-powered, but it comes with a power connection and cord. This is solely for the USB hub. I would've preferred it be completely powered, or the option of additional USB power draw. I guess I won't be using that feature anytime soon. There' only one other thing that is wack, and it's 100% a Windows's problem. When the computer goes to sleep, it basically disconnects the device, so you have to unplug/replug the cable, which is only mildly annoying. Yes, I've tried a few work arounds, but nothing sticks.All and all, I think this was a great buy. It does what I need and the price can't be beat.

EDIT: After having it for 3 months, the 1/L output appears faulty. It drops audio and will just output a hum, which goes away (for just a few seconds) when I physically put my hand on the box. Output 3/4 are unaffected, but the Monitor knob doesn't work for that output so I can't even use a workaround effectively. Contacted Arturia support and hopefully they can help me. Still, annoying that a new device would have a defect so early in its life.I have had a Scarlett 2i2 for about 8 years, and it has served me well. However, I've been curious about moving to a USB C interface and needed additional inputs finally, so I figured I'd change companies since Arturia is known for quality products. I'm glad I finally did, as I'm very impressed with this interface. Downloading the control software manages the firmware as well as general configuration, letting you see the input and output meters in one spot. You can also set the latency and hz. For the very first setup, you may need to close the app and reopen it, or restart your machine, so that everything can update as needed.Once it's running, I'm seeing latencies at 32 samples / 48khz of about 5ms, which is crazy fast for me. I couldn't go lower than 128 with my old interface, so seeing the ability to go to 64 easily and even 32 is great. Very responsive and doesn't add unexpected stress to my machine (Windows desktop, about 4 years old).Similarly, the control software makes it easy to see how audio is coming in and going out, with meters for monitoring and also master sliders & panning. You can adjust the output master so you have more leeway in the output knobs, which is important due to the fact that the box has some serious power. I can barely touch the headphone knob before it's uncomfortably loud! That's great for when I need the power, though.Overall, very happy with the purchase, and if you're looking for an interface with a few more ins & outs than the standard 2x2, I'd recommend it over others in the price point due to the great drivers.

Love it for the simplicity of a single USB-C cable. Works on Linux Mac and Windows. Linux was plug and play (thanks kernel devs!)perfect for simple recording and for gaming.
