Tascam US144 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface

 

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 FL Studio(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

One other thing that is not so good is there is no on/off switch so it is always on even when the computer is off.
