Very Good So Far
I've only had the MTI Max for a week, so far it's living up to all the hype I have seen from Slate Audio and other users on youtube.
It looks and feels like a very high quality piece of equipment, it came packaged extremely well, I am sure it can withstand a rough delivery if necessary.
Setting up the unit took a while, and I had to watch tutorials for setting up with Cubase, without those it would be really difficult trying to do it on the fly. The touch screen is sensitive and responsive to all gestures, it takes getting used to as I have always used a keyboard/mouse on my Mac Pro. There's A LOT of features and I am still going through tutorials in order to maximise the use of them all, I will repot back later once I have settled in and made full use of them all.
Slate Audio Offers great tutorial videos on their website which is helping a lot. Some of them seem a bit outdated as they refer to earlier versions but still makes sense for setting up the MTI Max. I will revisit this review after some time to give a final verdict.

It's been some time....
The Raven Software is very clunky, it does not (for me) work as smoothly as you see in the slate videos. It's glitchy, pressing simple buttons to load a plug-in for example, does not load the plugin first time, only sometimes, I hard use the buttons for that, leaving me just using my mouse and DAW (Cubase) to load the plugin, much quicker.
I end up doing that most of the time simply because of how clumsy this software from slate feels, pity because I use their plugins a lot which all work extremely well.
The screen itself is great, and as another reviewer said, have plenty screen cleaner available.
