Works perfect with snow leopard

Posted by Anonymous Musician on Nov 9, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Acoustic Rock

I bought this to hook up to my MacBook running snow leopard. After downloading the new driver from the website, it worked flawlessly with garageband. I have only used it a few times and so far it has had zero latency and runs perfectly with my computer. I must point out however that I have 4 gig of ram. One thing I just want to let people know because it took me a while to figure out; the us 144 is USB 2.0 which is actually faster than firewire, especially if you have a laptop most laptop firewire is firewire 400 not 800 which means it goes much slower than usb 2.0 (which is faster than 800, it transfers 12 mb/sec while firewire 800 is 8 mb/sec) Additionally firewire 400 will also require a separate ac adaptor. Most usb interfaces are 1.0 unless it says 2.0 explicitly. This is the most affordable usb 2.0 interface.

So far it has been extremely easy to use, and has been 100% stable. I am sure that most of that will have to do with how powerful your computer is. I think the mics sound pretty great and you can get a great sound using both on an acoustic guitar as left and right stereo inputs.

Don't BUY THIS!

i bought this recording package. turns out this tascams clips alot and pause your monitoring everytime it clips. it has very poor volume. you have to restart it almost everytime you use, and ater you record several tracks it will shut down your rec software. mics aren't bad though. really good mics for beginners and hobbyists.

I received the TASCAM Us 144 about 3 days ago and I am so happy with it. IT makes recording on my laptop easier, because it takes a load off of the computer. My favorite feature is the Zero-Latency monitoring. I was able a to record an awesome sounding full length song in less than 3 hours and it sounded amazing.

I recently purchased this bundle so I could start recording songs I've been writing. I have had ZERO problems and everything is working great. I did a lot of reading, etc in making a decision and since budget was also a factor this seemed to be a great solution.... and it is!!!

No Leopard Support

Posted by Electroid from Oakland, CA on Mar 1, 2008

On Tascam's website they state that the US-144 has a driver that is compatible with Mac OS X Leopard. I bought it. After experiencing much difficulty, I e-mailed Tascam customer support and got the reply, "at this time the US144 is not compatible with the Leopard Operating system." Oops. Rather confusing, eh? I bought a piece of gear that is just sitting there looking cool.
