I've owned three different Tascam audio interfaces, and each one has different drivers that seem to work the best on different setups. Sometimes they work seamlessly, but sometimes they just don't work on certain operating systems or computer setups. The drivers on Tascam audio interfaces, in general, can be problematic. I've also used it to record guitars and microphones on the fly.
I mainly used it with my live laptop setup to play synths and keyboards, which is perfect with this unit, since it can process MIDI and audio at the same time. This is a great portable interface that can do a little of everything. It is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, although due to its age, is not officially supported by the newest operating systems. It features two xlr inputs, two line level inputs, direct input monitoring, and a stereo line-level output with level control. The Tascam US-122 is one of the few usb audio-midi combination interfaces on the market. I would not recommend anyone to buy this and would recommend them to buy either an m-audio interface or a steinberg interface as an alternative THe recording quality this product offers is superb but the static noice that you get in your headphones through direct monitoring gets very annoying. I believe this to be a compatibility issue. Not just my interface but many other simliar models of Tascam have simliar problems. I did some research on the internet and i realized that it seems to be a latency issue with the product. I thought that my computer was too slow but i was wrong. There was one major issue that i found with this product and that was regarding a static noise coming through my speakrers through direct monitoring through the interface itself. I found that the customer support was horrible for this device.
THe product also offers jacks for you to plug in your guitar. It allows you to record to Mono channel condensor mics and it also includes Phantom power. The tascam US-122 is compatible with almost every single daw the industry has to offer. The price of the product attracted my attention as it looked like a solid mic pre-amp for my home studio recordings. When i first purchased the Tascam US-122, I was expecting it to work extremely well with my computer which is running windows 7.
