Series 208i : Solid interface

I'm using Tascam 208i interface for my home studio and for my rehearsals. It is solid with a full metal box. The workmanship is precise. You can set it up fast, easy and convenient. It's stable with no dropouts till now. There is a large rotary knob for monitor speakers level, which is extremely useful and much more convenient than adjusting levels through DAW or other software.

The Ultra HDDA preamps are high quality and very quiet, and their sound is ballanced and natural and have more depth than anything, I've heard below and at this price range. The built-in DSP processor makes the recording process absolutely enjoyable. You can record directly through built-in EQ, with the low cut especially usefull. The reverb is simple, but high quality one with very natural sound. The only thing I could not do ‘till now was to record directly with a reverb and not just use it as an aux effect.

And last, but not least - it can work like standalone mixer and preamp, which can be very handy.
