iPad Air 4th Generation Audio InterfaceHonestly this sat stored away for couple of years until I finally broke it out and tried to get it working again,I was having major latency issues,it wasn’t the Tascam it was my many DAW’S and apps on my iPad,see there is no single switch that globally changes buffer settings,you have to go to every app and change it manually,sometime several times because one app may be controlling another,but now it works and I couldn’t be more pleased!

Mejor de lo que esperabaLa calidad del producto es inigualable, además que es sólido de verdad. Se siente muy profesional para ser de sólo dos entradas. Nada que ver con la competencia ni de cerca. El rango dinámico es superior también.

Comes with alot of featuresI recieved this item in top shape overnight. After opening the box i found set up to be easy and straight forward, and was up and running in a few minutes. The unit is high quality and has a good weight to it, and the latency is very low at around 5 ms.The quality of the preamps are very clean. Mic pres hit at 58 db. I made a few great recordings with a Akg Perception 220 and it sounds great! I can get a great recording at around 50 to 65 percent mic volume.I would recomend this interface for serious Daw recording, The quality for the cost is impressive!

OutstandingIt’s an outstanding piece of equipment, the nice thing is it has a phantom power switch for each channel. Not everything need phantom power and phantom power can potentially harm a mic that doesn’t require phantom power. It also has dual headphone jacks which is nice, and a monitor volume knob that is large so you can’t accidently turn the wrong knob.

Terrible Customer Service from TascamI was having issues with this unit. It would not function, so I called Tascam customer service and was spoken to by one of the most standoffish, impatient, curt and arrogant people ever. Don’t expect to be treated with dignity if you call them for advice. A total tun off, so I now swear off all Tascam products for good. My equipment didn’t work and the manufacturer did nothing to help.

Fácil de usar en ipad proDe momento no me ha fallado,no tengo queja alguna en cuestión de segundos conecto al iPad y ya se puede grabar sin configuraciones complicadas. El ruido de fondo es muy bajo y puede que la causa sean los cables que uso,probaré con unos de mejor calidad.

DOABased on a few YouTube reviews, I had high hopes for this interface. It appeared to be a tremendous value. However, the inputs simply didn’t function. I know my microphones and cords work; I made sure by testing them on my old interface after the Tascam failed.Trying their tech support wasn’t an option. Their hours are the same as my job.This was horribly disappointing. Poor quality control, I suppose.

Series 102i: Headphone outputs were muffled on right channel, everything else was amazing…The software-hardware is the least-talked about feature in reviews online. A lot of the processing is moved to the unit itself which frees your PC’s resources. This works especially well for live performances of any type (and saves cleaning up audio in post-production). While some people may be skeptical about the unit requiring a dedicated power brick, this is good for laptop and small-board PCs: sending power AND data down a USB cable can mess up audio equipment (pops, crackles, distortion) and in this case the unit can send clean data down via just the single USB cable and take power from the brick (note: the brick’s cable is super short, as it is looped at the tip with a choke, much shorter than the length you think!).The monitor outputs are great (on the back). The dials are all premium feeling. Some users report it is not enough gain to power some mics, but mine (AT2020, PodMic) worked great!All in all this unit would have been great…PLEASE THOROUGHLY TEST AND INSPECT YOUR UNIT!!- My first unit: all of the receptacles/ports were askew or just wrong. Both headphone monitor outputs were louder/clean/crisp on the left channel but horribly muffled and soft on the right channel (tested with 4 different headphones and also measuring with a Y-splitter to split the left and right channels; ended up looking at just over 8dB in difference between the ears!). Left it at 50% for over 12 hours and no amount of “burn-in” helped balance the headphone ear levels.- the back MIDI out port was horribly malformed, like the plastic had melted or been bashed around…- the unit itself came in the retail box (no Amazon cardboard box!) wrapped in a flimsy half-opened plastic bag; also the unit’s retail box has NO seal tape. I have not claimed the bundled software licenses yet, but there is literally nothing stopping someone from just opening the box and stealing the keys or the entire contents of the box! I want to know if this was a cost-saving or environmental choice, or just plain “we don’t care”.I requested an exchange with Amazon and was informed I would be billed for the new unit if I did not ship the first one back. After extensive testing to ensure I was not crazy about the dB differences between the headphone ports, I boxed up the old one (in an actual cardboard box! wow!) and brought it back to a dropoff depot.My replacement unit seems to still be in limbo (unshipped, confirming) and I have no confirmation from Amazon that they have received my defective unit (and therefore I won’t be stuck paying for 2 units).Last note: I confirmed via serial number my unit was indeed manufactured in 2021. With the semiconductor shortage, I am strongly concerned the units produced this year might be made with recycled or inferior parts… Hence why quality control was out the window with this “brand new off the factory line” device was so bad…Hoping my replacement unit is a better one!!

Qu’il fonctionne ça serait un débutLa carte de son est arrivée chez moi il y a 3 semaines et je viens de me rendre compte que la balance pour les moniteurs ne fonctionne pas. Donc je dois la retourner et je suis très très déçu de ne pouvoir parler à quelqu’un en français, ça fait des heures que j’essaie d’avoir une personne et on parle juste en anglais et on raccroche la ligne je veux porter plainte
