Well I got the tascam us-144 last month(January) and I've had little problems with it.The Tascam US-144 is a computer audio/midi USB interface.The US-144 comes in perfect with my setup.I have one midi controller which is hooked through USB and an ASR-10 which I have hooked up through MIDI into my Tascam which works perfectly for me.The US-144 also has Line Ins for a mic(which supplies phantom power) + guitar in and MIDI in's and outs.

When I first got it I had a some problems with it and driver support for my operating system(vista) but was helped shorty after.So that didn't last too long.If you have Vista and has this interface then check the tascam website for vista drivers.

One bug I notice is in FLStudio(Only happens in FL) whenever I open a project or even a plugin serious latency problems start up.That problem is most likely the driver version and will probably be solved within the next driver or firmware version.

Other than those problems I'm satisfied with the US-144 it does all I need it to do and is very helpful in my setup.Another lovely thing about it is it comes with a copy of Cubase LE.

I give it aWarbeats rating of 8/10

Nope I never did..

Has to be a vista problem

is there a difference between the 2 tone one and the all white one?

I have this device too which I use with my laptop. I have serioius latency issues both in Windows XP and Vista. I have the current drivers and firmware upgrade. I personally would not recommend this device unless a driver comes out that deals with these issues. As a work around, I have used ASIO4ALL with it and that seems to eliminate the problem. Also, any latency setting below 512 with the native drive wil suck big time.

When using a condenser mic, I just have the audio outs go into my audio ins on my M-Audio Delta 1010LT so it serves it purpose as a Mic Pre-Amp.  As I stated, unless a driver update deals with the latency issues, I would not buy this device.
