- Tascam US-16x08
Just bought last week a new US-16x08 interface. It is running smoothly in Win7. Great interface for the price.
Although I've have no real problems to complain, I would like to leave some suggestions for future updates that I would like to see.
I use the US-16x08 in the studio, but decided to try it in a live sound environment. Used 16 channels of EQ and compression and it worked very nice with no latency with the onboard DSP. But one thing I noticed is that if I save a scene with track names for each channel, when it is loaded again all the settings are fine but the channel name disappears. I believe that's something that needs fixing in the next update.
Another thing that would be be nice is having the hability to do individual monitor mixes and be able to route them through the 8 outs available. It's usefull to have the hability to record an entire band and give the separate monitor mixes.
A very nice update would be having a noise gate for each channel. I don't know how much cpu is available in the DSP mixer but it would be a nice thing to have.
The last thing that I would like to see it's having the hability to control via MIDI the DSP mixer faders.
With this improvements this interface would be much better.
If anyone from TASCAM reads this I would be gratefull that those points would be taken for consideration for future firmware and software updates.
