Excellent for it's price
The 1824c has been working smoothly with my Mac system which has an M1 cpu. The sound quality of the inputs and outputs are very good for it's price and the build quality feels solid. The included Presonus Universal Control Surface software works great, and it also comes with Studio One Artist edition DAW, and Studio Magic plug-in suite.
