I had some honest frustrations with the Spire, discussed near the end of the old thread and the beginning of this one. I won't repeat myself. I would say that I think the product could benefit from a manual (these days typically a PDF file). But again, happy users here say I could be mostly wrong.

KevWind, it's easy for us who've gotten over the initial learning bump with DAWs to imagine that everyone else won't have some trouble there.
Even things like what which input is which, and does it need phantom power or line level or why am I not hearing what I think I should be hearing confuse folks who haven't gotten used to at least one DAW and some basic concepts.

I considered with my own now isolated playing partner who's not technically interested, just setting up a template in a DAW and leaving a mic plugged in, but my experience in tech support says that Murphy will likely change something or click somewhere you don't expect and things will no longer work as expected.
I agree about the learning curve and why I qualified my post with the fact that a DAW is what I learned on in 2003 so it may be I have forgotten how intimidating and or complex it can appear. I am 70 so forgetting is integral part of life now
