All user reviews for the Tascam M-164UF

Full connectivity, integrated multi-effects, 6 mic or line mono inputs, 5 stereo inputs (two jacks, two RCA and minijack 1) and phantom power supply general
(For the price I would have liked more microphone inputs, but the sound quality is there)

UTILIZATION

Using basic super simple, and just get to know a minimum for the plug computer for my part I do not even have anything to adjust, plug and play! Talk, this USB. It is a bond like a sound card, ie all entries are recoverable and recordable separated (on Cubase 5 for me) channels. The only downside of this usb is, I think, that when you play, you can not separate the tracks and mix them in the console, everything happens on the 11/12 stereo track.

SOUNDS

I find quite transparent console, but I have not tried the masses either. But the preamp are pleasant to work with and listen. The equalizer is present, but it should not be too much to ask, it will refine a voice or an instrument, but in no case allows precise work as a rack for this purpose. It reacts well, but is not really complete (3 knobs for. High, Middle, Bass That's all.). I have never heard partcontre blast with this console, it happens to me sometimes to push the preamp to 9/10, and no breath, just the ambient noise of the room.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now, soon five, and frankly no regrets! I had the chance to buy in the first table, I knew nothing ... and I do not intend to change it! What I like most is the quality of sound that is present, a nice dynamic, and cash it! Live studio, I did everything, and I'll start with joy! What I like most is its small size, which falls almost in a backpack, his physical strength, his look (yes, that counts too!) And the quality! Least for me, would be the return of his usb on a single stereo voice, and the price ... It has fallen since, but even she is sorely lacking microphone inputs!

If my needs were adapted to this table, I would do this choice rather than twice, and I will command your eyes closed! But of course, for me who frequently need close to 20 inputs (mic and line), it is no longer appropriate.

In two words: acceptable value for money, but besides the price is a little killer!
