This unit is comparable to rack units from other makers that typically run $400 to $600 more - this is a steal at this price!

The ability to install easily via downloads from Tascam and plug in and start recording directly to my DAW. I use Presonus Studio One and it works perfectly.

Compared to some of the other products I've used in the past... (Firepod and a Tascam 2 Track) Tascam has outdone themselves on bang for the buck. I should have paid 3 times as much for all the features this thing has.

16 in at 24 bit on a single USB 2.0 connection. I have so far streamed 12 inputs live without a single glitch. would be better if the 8 mic inputs were combo jacks so they could be used with line level stuff too, also there is no separate headphone mix so you have to monitor the inputs at recording level. Usually this is ok, but sometimes it causes issues.

simple to use. Loaded the software, plugged it in and turned it on. Nothing to it.

This by far the cheapest 16 input recording solution I have found and it actually works.

This unit has very low to no latency. Being a drummer, its a good feeling to hear every hit right on time. Has seperate monitor and headphone knobs. You can choose to have phantom power on channels 1-4, 5-8 or both. It also has 2 inputs in the front for guitar/bass.

Extremely easy to use. Plug USB into the computer, install the CD, and the unit is ready to go.

For $299, it's an exceptional value. Presonus and others start at $400 for the same unit. Only difference is the Tascam's USB 2.0 vs Presonus firewire. Not much of a difference in latency.
