A somewhat high latency, but to record 14 tracks simultaneously, it's okay. The only minor drawback of this card is the somewhat significant latency: 2.6ms at the input and 12.3ms at the output, which means 15ms when it's properly set up (using the manufacturer's ASIO, otherwise it's 50+ ms o_o). I record my drums on a regular basis with the 8 front-panel tracks and have no complaints. It's stable and works fine with Cubase, at least for what I use it for. The preamps are light, they distort as soon as you go beyond 03:00 but they are clean and sound nice if you don't reach that threshold. I use it with Cubase 5 on a PC to record bands I do FOH for. I've been using this card for 3-4 months and I'm very happy with it, the only snag is the lack of an ADAT I/O. This was probably the last USB interface that I have purchase since then I went all to fire wire because I think the speed is much better.Ĩ XLR inputs with 48V phantom power per groups of 4Ģ Instrument inputs on 1/4" jacks, switchable to line inputsĤ Line inputs on 1/4" jacks with -4/+4 per pairs At first I just thought it was my PC until other users told me about that same problem and it’s mainly because of the USB connection and recording with multiple tracks.
You can work around this but sometimes it is very annoying. The only downside to it was sometimes there would be a latency issue when working with Pro Tools 10 depending on what you are recording and how many tracks you are recording at the same time. This interface is good, and I feel that it is very underrated because no one is talking about using it.
I liked using it in Pro Tools 10 a lot because that is where I do most of my recording at and instead of paying a lot of money for one of those interfaces that Pro Tools endorses I was able to get the same features but only pay about half that price. It was easy to set up and start using, it came with a manual that was easy to follow and the disk to load the driver was easy to use, because all I had to do was just put it in my PC and it installed the software then the interface was recognized by Cubase and Pro Tools. This interface had everything that I needed at the time. 14 of the inputs are analog and 8 inputs are for XLR mics and it does provide phantom power.
This interface has 16 inputs that you can record with simultaneously and 4 outputs. This unit is rackable taking up one rack space on my desktop workstation. It connected easily to my computer via USB connection. The Tascam US1800 was an interface that I used for a few months in 2011.
