Cool that it can be a standalone mic pre, tho I haven't needed that. The mixer and fx function well.

Hope you have better luck than I did!

Just read all the reviews from 2015. The drivers stink! I must have gotten a driver from that era. As soon as I downloaded the latest driver to my computer, it crashed. So I never even opened this item and sent it back the next day. Test out the Tascam drivers BEFORE you even order this thing. It will save you a lot of time and money.

I downloaded the driver as suggested and installed everything correctly. I am running Window 7 Ultimate w/ 16 GB RAM on Presonus Studio One Pro - 2. As soon as I loaded everything, my computer's performance went from fast to shockingly slow. I've turned off everything including my anti-virus software and it still runs extremely slow. I deleted, rebooted and reloaded everything with the same results. I give this product a rating of 1 but a chance to prove this was a good purchase. I just need to figure out why my computer's performance died when I installed everything.

works as expected

I had no issues whatsoever with the 16x08. use it in my home studio and to record my band live at gigs to a laptop. I use it at 96KHz 6ms latency and works fine.

I bought this Audio Interface on behalf of our Sound Engineer, so I have no clue. But he was so excited of having the Tascam gear that I dare to qualify my purchase with 5 stars.

I just got on here to see the reviews and see if anyone else had problems with the drivers. YUP. I just bought this from GC but I'll probably return it now. The drivers are so bad. I can't use any other audio apps (itunes, windows media player, youtube, etc.) while my DAW (Cubase 7) is open. While listening to music and doing basic computer stuff, audio gets choppy...really bad. Worst of all, just recording acoustic guitar tracks with a mic, the track had a bunch of static. It wasn't clipping. My computer meets all of the system requirements so I know it's not on my end. It could just be bad compatibility with Windows 7 though. Either way, really not impressed. They probably had a great product here but the drivers suck. So I'll have to keep shopping around ... More

Drivers are terrible

I can't really discuss the finer points of this hardware, because I could never get the drivers to work. I tried two computers, one with freshly reinstalled Windows 7, and many different configurations over many, many crashes and hours of frustration before I finally gave up and returned it to Amazon. Hardly plug-and-play.

Won't satisfy our needs

We didn't know this, but apparently, the 16 channels will show up to Windows as a single device with multiple channels, rather than as multiple devices with dual channels. So my rating isn't entirely fair, as I can see how that would be fine for some, but we're not able to use it for our needs. :(
