I have had very bad experiences with Tascam product quality.



My experience with Tascam is 1/3 good, 2/3 bad. The good part was an old Tascam 244 cassette recorder. It worked great in it's day.

The Tascam US-122 had lots of pops and cracks in recording. The US-428, ... ditto. I did use the US-428 in time to send it back for a refund.

No more Tascam products for me.

Don, I wish your son good luck with his purchase. Hopefully since it's not computer based, it'll work like my old 244.

There's a lot to be said for "stand alone" recording devices because they're so much simpler to use than DAW's and hardware conflicts, drivers, latency, bit rate, monitoring, etc.

I'm just not sure if this one fits the bill.
