You might try the Tascam US-122L instead. Basically the same as the 144, only quite a bit cheaper without a firewire connection, which is not needed for REW.

Good to know. I'll check it out.

Thanks!

Wayne, do you sell on ebay? I'd trust you in a second. Just give me a link if you do.

BTW, Abes of Maine has 100% positive even after my negative review. The numbers get so huge they just round them off so it looks like they're perfect.

I haven't been to the sound professionals website for a long time. I'm on my way. Thanks BK.

I still haven't written Tascam, the wife needed me to accomplish something....

Sure, I've sold stuff on eBay. But if you're asking if I have a 122L for sale - no I don't.

Well I finally emailed Tascam to see what they have to say about the new mkIIs. I hope there are no issues with driver stability and newer Macs.

OK, so they say there's no issues with the drivers and no works been done on them for the mkII.

Hmmmm. Whataya think?

Are you still considering the 122? Just a heads-up that sound professionals has a one-day blow out on the kit with mic and headphones for $89. Not a bad package if you can use the other stuff.

Shoot, that's a great price even without the other stuff! Sell the mic and 'phones and you'll have your 122 for practically free!

sold out. Too bad, I really need the cans and the mic would have been nice. Thanks for postng! That was a no brainer.

I've been reading on a couple of boards that the 122/144 work great with macs. You just have to have the patience to read the manual and install them properly and figure out how to use your software. That's what makes online reviews difficult. It can be hard to tell who's technically proficient. I have learned that there are better choices for the less proficient. Right now I'm thinking either a Tascam unit or an E-MU. I can't find enough details about the Tascam to make me think it'll be as good as I want for a few years, but a crazy deal like that one would sway me.

Thanks again!

Dan
