I purchased this lovely little mixer just over a year ago to downsize from a behringer x32 producer edition, but I'm now going to replace it for a MOTU 828 2024 edition.
As a standalone mixer I can't fault it but as an audio interface it is the worst and most unstable I have ever used in 30 years. Even a sound blaster 16 back in the day had more stable audio.
Constant drop outs of audio, scratchy audio, clicks, terrible asio drivers.
It's really disappointing as it is like TEAC don't care about its user base. If this was a 10 year old mixer I could understand but the complete lack of updated driver support from tascam is pretty terrible.
The drivers are so instable. Also recently the pc audio is lower in the left channel than the right and no amout of fiddling fixes this unless you send the audio straight to main.
These drivers are for windows 10 and and it's windows 11 now which has had many huge updates.
So I'm sorry Tascam but you have lost a customer, one who had grown up with the tascam brand from porta studios and Teac to reel to reels.
