The Tascam US-144MKII seamlessly continues the worldwide success of its predecessor US-144 offering better recording quality from a USB MIDI interface further reduced in size. Since it doesn't require an additional power supply, this portable audio interface is perfect for creating 4-channel recordings from analog and digital sources with a laptop computer.
Two XLR microphone inputs with switchable phantom power and high-quality preamps are the basis for good-sounding recordings, while input signals can be listened to by headphones with zero latency. Line-level and digital sources or an instrument can be connected as well. The Tascam USB MIDI interface has separate level controls for the line and headphones outputs, a mono switch, MIDI input and MIDI output, as well as a coaxial SPDIF output.
The US-144MKII interface supports sample rates up to 96 kHz at 24-bit resolution. While commercial audio CDs are produced at 44.1 kHz/16-bit, this interface offers you more than double the sample rate which means more detail for your recordings. (If you're fine with two audio channels and don't need a digital I/O, have a look at the Tascam US-122MKII.)

I recorded an entire album at home using this as my primary input device feeding into a Mac running Logic Pro. No problems, good fidelity. I highly recommend it!
As was really fighing in order to try to have my Blofeld Synth connected to my Windows based laptop (running Windows Vista Pro) and FL Studio. I just couldn't hear / do anything I wanted using the onboard sound card. Then I read a couple of reviews here about this product so I ran to my Guitar center, bought it, installed it, and in 30 minutes I was in businesss (I took the time to download the latest updates as recommended). No more sound card to deal with! This product is FANTASTIC and works EXACTLY as described... I love it love it love it and I would recommend it to anyone whom is tired to fight with his sound card! Thank you GuitarCenter !!!!
I have had this interface for more than a year now at it absolutely meets my demands! I've used every single function available without any problems, WHILE USING WINDOWS 7 64-bit & 32-bit. So I don't know what the other reviews are referring to, I have had no problems at all with the drivers. The sound quality is great, there is a tiny bit of very low frequency electrical hum in my recordings, but it might also be because I?m recording close to a power grid. Build quality is fantastic, very durable! The knobs felt a bit plastic at first, but are still very good and sensitive. I would, and already have, recommended this product to others! Good luck!
