Sorry, in general that's just nonsense. Or do you think e.g. a Soundcraft
Vi7000, or a Sennheiser Digital 9000 system or a Yamaha Montage 8 are
self-explaining in any way? To someone who has only worked with an M-Audio
Fast Track audio interface before?

So why did you comment anyway? And why do you indicate that you'd expect
the device in question as ending as a dust catcher - without any knowledge
of the device, just based on the friendly advice that it is more complex
than an audio interface. Why do you do this?

The Behringer X Air and Midas M Air devices are actually pretty straight
forward when you're familiar with some concepts of digital mixing desks
(e.g. "Send to Fader" or  routing capabilites). So it's those concepts of
digital mixing that require some learning if you're not already acquainted
with them - regardless if you read them up or watch videos.
