What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I love having ten straight inputs 8 XLR and 2 1/4, you also have a few inputs in the back,but you lack input volume control on them, which is the only draw back that I have seen.

This product integrates great with Cubase 4,5, and Artist 6, and lines up perfect within VST connections buses, very easy to use and get started right away.

Guick and easy setup with the included setup disk it was a no brainer. I was up and runing in Pro Tools 10 within minutes. Just use highest latency option in the US 1800 setup window and you're good to go. The Cubase LE5 however was anther matter. Installing and registering this software was a nightmare. Much easier applying for a home loan modification than getting involved with this debacle. Eventually trashed the whole idea of using it.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Other than the Cubase isssue , this is one underrated piece of equipment. The build and sound quality blows away my previous M-Audio fast track pro. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great Interface for Digital Audio Recording

Unlike other interfaces I considered, the number and type of inputs was the biggest selling point for me (8 XLR mic, 2 front-mtd 1/4" instrument, four 1/4" line inputs and MIDI in/out in the rear). Also, TASCAM offers both 32- and 64-bit Windows drivers.

Hardware installation was simple and the software installation and connection/configuration to the PC (Windows) and Cubase LE-5 was straightforward. I decided to stick with Cubase and ultimately upgraded to Cubase 6 (64-bit) and Windows 7. Downloaded 64-bit drivers from TASCAM website and the interface connected and was configured quickly and easily.

A great value for the professional or home studio! Have never been disappointed with TASCAM.

Installing Cubase 5 and hooking this up in my home studio was a breeze and I was recording within the hour.

For the number of ins and outs and being a sturdy usb interface as well, you wont find a better product in this price range. The addition of Cubase 5 only sweetens the deal.
