Summary: Worth the Price
Comment: I got this on sale. It is a great deal. Perfect for my less than perfect home demos. I researched a lot of interfaces in this price range before purchasing the Tascam. A few features really made this one stand out. I get a very clean sound through it. I never plug my guitar directly in though, I find it better for microphones. I use an MXL condenser and Shure SM57 to mic vocals, guitars, etc. Very sturdy metal. Simple layout.

Comment: As the other reviews say this is a great product for the price and ever since I updated the Firmware and Driver it has worked perfectly with Vista Ultimate. I have also used this product successfully with Adobe Audition 3.0 as well as the included Cubase LE software. In both cases the product performed very well and I have had no problems with it. I do have one issue with this product however (In vista the option to change the devices Sample Rate is missing in the control panel, however it does show up in the audio settings for playback and recording devices in Vista's audio Control Panel) I have never been able to set the device to Stereo 96Khz only Mono? I'm not sure why and it does not effect me since I always record at 44100Khz from my condenser Microphones. This could just be an issue with the build of Vista that I am using since I am using the Service Pack one Refresh Build!!! Also setting the unit to 96Khz Mono may mean that both Mono Microphone Inputs are set to 96Khz! Anyhow this products recording quality is great and it is perfect for what I use it for.
I am a Music Education Major and I generally use the US-144 to record my Universities Brass ensembles for competitions as well as to hear the balance, blend and phrasing of the groups so that we can address problems before we make the final recordings for Competitions. This thing saves you a lot of money because you don't have to go to a studio to create a great Live sounding recording.
I recommend this product to anyone who is looking to do simple high quality Home or Mobile Recording it is truly worth every penny!!!

Summary: Is what it says it is
Comment: Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. So far I only have used it for basic recording & playback, and it sounds great. I can't comment on the midi or mic functionality yet. The build quality is very durable. The flat knobs are a nice feature if you plan on carrying it around. I'd recommend it to a friend.

Summary: Worth a shot
Comment: I'm using it with Vista Premium on a desktop. I think the Vista drivers could be better, because I've had some compatability problems with programs like Cakewalk and Audacity, whereas these programs worked seamlessly before I got the Tascam. I would recommend it anyways simply because the majority of the time it does work with these programs and I get good recordings off of my guitar onto Audacity. It's basically a plug and play, but there is some adjustments that must be made to the sound card you're replacing.
The box itself is good quality metal, and is heavy enough that if I pull my guitar a little it doesn't come falling off my desk. The MIDI plugin is also just fine.
Hopefully they'll release better Vista drivers down the road, maybe when the first service pack is released? Till then, it's a good product anyways.

MIDI your musical instrument to synch, transfer, and play with a computer. The US-144 delivers everything you'd want in a portable audio/MIDI interface. Record two tracks at a time with zero latency from the analog inputs; whether you have a PC or a Mac, your song ideas go down in real time, real easy. Its size means you can take it anywhere you take your laptop, yet it's packed with features that make buying it an audio no-brainer. MIDI input and output, high quality microphone inputs, 96kHz/24-bit recording better than CD quality. Separate headphone output & level controls
