Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Excellent for the price."

Feature:
I did not install the LE Cubase, seeing as I have SX3 installed. Installing drivers was very easy, and it was all plug and play. I like the feature

Quality:
Very sturdy. When I bought this sound interface, I looked at some others to, and compared, they felt like cheap plastic. This is metal, and it's steelhardy.

Value:
For the prize, it is eminent.

Sound:
The sound is great on the Tascam US-144. It records the sound very nice and crisp, and frankly it feels like the real deal when I'm playing with, for instance, a guitar VST in Cubase. It is propably, with the right software on the computer, one of the best pre-amps you can get. However, the phone-output seems somewhat low.

Ease of Use:
No fiddling around with stupid drivers, no turning up and down on stupid mixers, just insert the jack cable and play.

Support:
Haven't needed it yet.

Overall:
I think I'll go with this interface for a very long time. With it's sturdyness and all, it's simply breathtaking.

"Good machine for the money."

Feature:
Size is good and convenient. Everything does what it should. Only complaint is the large rubber dials, which are a bit touchy. Hard to change the volume/mix/etc "just a little bit."

Quality:
Sturdy. Not likely to break anytime soon.

Value:
I got it for about $170. Considering most comparable products I've seen are in the same price range, I suppose it was a good deal.

Desirability:
The color scheme goes with my desk and monitor. That's about it. Granted, I'm not one who generally buys interface hardware based on its "sex appeal."

Sound:
Always get the sound I want out of it. No detectable line noise on anything I've recorded so far. Gives me a good clean base sound to work with.

Ease of Use:
Fairly straightforward, simple enough setup to use. The Giga software, however, I had to uninstall as soon as I put it on. I compose alot of industrial/electronic music using Acid 6, and the Giga conflicted with it. Any time I turned on either program my computer (PC, WinXP) would crash and I'd have to reboot.

Support:
Haven't needed any yet.

Overall:
I'll probably be purchasing a new piece with 8 or more inputs in the near future, but only because my needs have changed. I'll likely be keeping this around for personal and supplementary use for some time.
