This allows the user to not have to worry at all about compression or limiting and peaking.
You also get ridiculously premium converters at 96 k and 24 bit bit depth allowing for 144 dB of headroom. You also get Midi and digital inputs and outputs. This interface is rather incredible because for almost nothing, you get a whopping 8 inputs and 6 outputs in such a small amount of space. In the end though, I am in no way shape or form decrying the worth of the amazing Tascam US 800. Since the world of music now exists inside of a computer, you can get so much with a cheap interface nowadays that spending a lot on quality equipment is honestly just about nuance. Tascam continues its pattern of making cheap interfaces for budget beginner studio operators, users and musicians. Great for portable laptop systems, when you need to record more than a couple channels! Overall, the Tascam US-800 is a great, portable recording unit, with MIDI inputs and outputs to boot. They both are the same port, and usually I would just use a simple adapter for my 1/8 inch headphones, but I'm not complaining. There are actually two headphone inputs on the front for both 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch connectors, which is interesting. You can actually use the US-800 as a realtime mixer, without recording anything. The knobs and controls on the unit are pretty self-explanatory, and there is a mini software mixer that comes with the drivers. Just plug in the usb cable, plug in the power supply, and you are good to go. Generally, the Tascam US-800 is fairly easy to set up. So your mileage may vary, be sure to test out the unit first on your system, or read about compatibility on forums.
It is odd, because I've owned older Tascam audio interfaces that work great with Windows 7, yet the newer US-800 has it's flaws. But Tascam may have ironed out the drivers by now (my unit was 6 months old). I did get it to work on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop, but during some initialization, my computer would restart (after seeing a blue screen), which can be very disturbing. The Tascam US-800 can be used with both Mac systems and PC systems, although there can be some driver troubles with Windows 7, particularly with a 64-bit system. The rugged, lightweight package is ideal for mobile or desktop recording, and it really is surprisingly light and portable. The US-800 includes S/PDIF digital audio in and out as well as MIDI in and out, which is incredibly useful with synthesizer work. Six XLR microphone inputs each have phantom power for using with condenser microphones, and premium 96kHz/24-bit audio converters record every detail. The Tascam US-800 is a great-sounding multichannel recording interface, with eight inputs and six outputs for capturing audio data.
