Sound quality is good (very reasonable for the price considering that it can run on

After re-recording one of them, I noticed the quality of the audio was much better than I had in the past

Sound Quality is nice and the mic preamps are outstanding for the price.

First off, the audio quality of this thing is very good

The audio quality is truly excellent and the mic preamps are very very quiet

I don't have super high end mics to explain the minute details about the pre amps, but they do sound pretty average to my ears, no real addition or loss, just kinda boosts the gain like a transparent preamp should

You have level control on all four front panel inputs, as well as on the headphone outputs and two of the line outputs.

The headphone amp sounds fine and has enough gain to drive my old Sennheiser HD580 headphones

The interface itself is pretty good -- clean(ish) gain and intuitive design

Don't even think about plugging a low output mic like the Shure SM7B or various ribbon mics into one of these without a Cloudlifter or FetHead though, as there's no way this little TASCAM unit can supply enough clean gain for all but the screamer style vocalists

While you dont here the latency while recording, the play back sounds off time.

If you are looking for a great 4-channel recording interface without spending a fortune, this is the one to get!

So far an excellent basic recording unit for me and for my limited budget.1

Use MME multi-client and have great playback and no recording

Use ASIO single-client and have great playback and great recording

TASCAM US-2x2 is incredibly stable, amazing sound, super Assembly

Quite often it seems to get in to a state where it sounds like I am talking in to a fan (i.e. the sound gets really choppy)... even if I'm only listening to iTunes through it

3) will make the loudest most frightful sound you will ever hear in your ears and again won't register making me have to restart my computer

As promised, the device delivers great sound with no noise - other than what my inputs bring to the equation

Quite a shame, otherwise great device but hard to overlook these two issues.

This device would be great if it worked properly in a Win7 environment

Bottom line: with version 1.01, the device works great with Reaper but is still having problems with Sonar

Quite a shame, otherwise great device but hard to overlook these two issues.

So, in summary, this is a great little device that you can basically rent from tascam at $150 per year.

But the sounds of preamps and converters is spectacular at the price point a works like should be (Y).

It's a clean little machine but not exactly big on bragging rights and has worked well enough

Have recorded about 10 multitrack songs and Id say it was the clearest most professional work Ive done

Tascam US 2x2 audio interface works well with Logic/Garageband/Apple Mac hardware.

So far it seems like it'll be a delight to use, so far its worked with Ableton 9 Suite, Cubase 7.5, and FL Studio 10 Producer Edition

The only issue I had was one microphone input into the unit was triggering an overload indicator (on the loudest drum strikes) in the DAW software even with the physical gain pot turned all the way down

It has enough inputs that you can set up everything you need and never have to worry about switching out cables

In these software applications, I was able to verify that the problem wasn't hardware installation, but likely my lack of understanding the proper settings and input selections to capture my audio files

I might as well find something with enough inputs to accommodate any situation

I bought this mainly because I needed an interface with enough inputs to record my drumset, as well as guitar on occasion

The dials work very smoothly, although I do wish that there were some locations where they would click into place (e.g. at the midpoint) to help me line up the levels for multiple inputs (if connected to a computer, though, things can be fine tuned in software).Things that I really like (for my uses)

This 4x4 is compatible with most popular DAW softwares, which is a good thing, as I had issues with both Cakewalk's Sonar LE and Ableton Live 9, which are the 2 DAW softwares Tascam gives you

In terms of the sound, this thing is really loud

Only bummer for me is that Sonar is not Mac compatible - was looking for an easy to use DAW - Ableton is not always the right thing for me :)

Love the preamps when running my guitar straight to unit.

Sound Quality is nice and the mic preamps are outstanding for the price.

Preamps have a little more hiss than some of my devices and less than others, but still very usable

The preamps are unreal for this price range, but that's a Tascam trademark...they always go the extra mile

The audio quality is truly excellent and the mic preamps are very very quiet

This is the worst audio product I own, It has brought me nothing but problems and confusion since the day I received it

Overall, this is a solid product for those that are looking for a great way to take in a couple of instruments or record vocals to a full fledged audio suite.

Though slow to react to the need of a better driver, tascam offers a great product here

Overall the TASCAM US-2x2 offers an economical product with basic features for entry-level studio recording.

The product is garbage and the customer service is the worst I ever experienced.

Sounds like some people got a faulty unit, good thing they bought it on Amazon and

And the manual says to never connect or disconnect the mics when the phantom power switch is set to +48, as again you'll get the high pitched noises/screeches that will damage your unit and equipment

The unit itself is very sturdy, yet lightweight and easy to carry

With only one mic channel active, the units makes digital clipping noises at a low latency level, so I raise the buffer size, but then the latency makes it useless for live music processing

However, this unit just started shipping (Tascam delayed because of problems with the drivers), so I thought the above information was very important for prospective buyers, especially first-timers.

The one time the device seemed to disappear from my computer, unplugging and restarting the TASCAM solved the problem instantly

and it is good to know that the TASCAM should support that just as well

Will not work with Windows 10 and Tascam does not seem to care

I got this to compliment my Tascam DR-100 for live recordings

Luckily, this TASCAM works well with GarageBand that comes with Macs already

This beauty is Japanese-German design, there are some complains about knob sizes and distance between then

The interface itself is pretty good -- clean(ish) gain and intuitive design

The design and Assembly of these cards in the TASCAM US-2x2 is the most solid and strong, I feel like a Kalashnikov.))))TASCAM US-2x2 wakes up with the computer and does not require distorting the usb

The interface itself is pretty good -- clean(ish) gain and intuitive design

This little audio interface device comes in a small, desk-top friendly design.

More recently, I was toying with the idea of a Tascam or Fostex 4- or 8-track recorder, but to me the days of those machines has passed, owing to the power of today's home computers, the sophistication of modern recording software, and the relatively low cost of hard drives and flash storage technology

I bought this to transfer some recordings from an old 4-track PortaStudio tape deck to hard drive for preservation and editing, and thus needed a 4-input audio interface

Like image files, audio files can take up a lot of space on the computer's hard drive, so it would be wise to install an external hard drive using a USB connection and only use this extra hard drive for your sound recordings

I am using a i7 core processor, with 64gig ram and solid state drives, so I dont think its my system.

Then I upgraded the hard drive from a regular 5400 speed to a SSD HD, now its awesome

the noises that were made were very loud high pitched screeches

If you don't you'll get sudden loud noises/screeches that could damage your equipment and your hearing

just remember to download your driver and update the firmware first (if you don't update the firmware you'll get the weird noises)

It is perfect for my needs - it is well made, and is very quiet - no line noise at all

Lastly, the manual says before connecting audio equipment to set the Gain, Line Out and Phone knobs to their lowest values, as failure to do so could cause loud noises from the monitoring equipment that can damage both equipment and hearing

Every attempt was made to resolve driver issues, conflicts, or firmware difficulties, but I never could actually USE the thing

Because the driver issues (pop, clicks, interruptions, etc) like main Windows Audio Device, but with DAWs (the reason and fuction to buy

Thing is at this price point even the alternatives seem to also have driver issues.

My afraid first was the drivers issues in internet reviews but, like other brands and products

Buy a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and enjoy freedom from driver issues
