Product Experience I own it Closest Store Toronto Ontario
weak output signal to daw , maybe its preamp is too weak, ,,, i prefer my line 6 which costs a little bit more but can provide the daw with a stronger signal to work with. I own both products,,,,line 6 comes with more sound enhancement options too like amps, effects, reverbs, compressors etc..both products sold at same store,, bought the line 6 after being disappointed with the 144 MKII,,,only use line 6 now.

I don't recommend this interface. This product come with many features such as midi in/out but the sound quality is not very clear. The nobs feels very light and cheep. I return this and bought tc electronics desktop connect 6 which costs $200 and less in and outs but the built quaity and sound are much better.

...be careful that there is a history of problems running ASIO4ALL with this product line on 64-bit Windows (BSOD). I learned this the hard way and Tascam Support has chosen to bury their heads in the sand...
