The US-144 from Tascam is a USB-based audio interface designed for use with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. It provides a four-input, four-output 24-bit/96kHz audio interface and a sixteen-channel MIDI interface.
The US-144 is the ideal companion to any desktop- or laptop-based digital recording setup. Since the unit operates using only USB power, the combination can create a very compact and portable digital audio workstation system when paired with a laptop computer.
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 mic inputs, 96kHz/24-bit recording (better than CD quality)-all the stuff you'd want without the fluff you wouldn't. The US-144: the answer to your recording needs.
