 Tascam 122L vs Presonus Firebox Jun 13, 2009
I just got the 122L and was surprised it had no power supply. OK, no problem, it seems to get enough juice out of the o
Initially, drivers didn't load with a message saying the operating system wasn't supported. Went to Tascam site and downloaded a new driver - it now worked.
I already have a Presonus Firebox, a Presonus TubePre pre-amp, a Presonus Comp16 compressor (junk) and an EQ3B from Presonus. ALL the Presonus gear just seems to add more noise and no gain to the recordings. I have to amplify between 10-13db to get a good wave. The Presonus by the way, is peged.
I am using Adobe Audition 3, Sony Sound Forge 9 and Adobe Soundbooth CS4 as my recording tools.
Now on to the 122L. I set a couple of switches, played with gain and did my first recording aith Audition 3. It clipped and pegged everything. Hmmm? This had way more gain than the Presonbus gear which barely gives sound when pegged...
So I lowered by about 20% and was surprised at the clarity of the sound and a near perfect wave file. I only had to add a compander and it sounded great. I have to add about 3-4 effects with the Presonus.
Now, I'm irritated. All that Presonus gear and this little cheap Tascam sounds better...
By the way, the Presonus equipment uses power for every component. The 122L only USB2 power. Amazing! Irritating too when I think of the Presonus $700 I spent...
A great voice-over talent we workk with, Jason Bishop ([...]) recommended the Tascam and his stuff sounds good. We have the same mics (Rode NT1a) and his sounded way better than the Presonus so I purchased the Tascam. So far, looks like a good deal!

Working well for me May 17, 2009
I bought this product about 2 weeks ago and have been happy with it. I'm running Windows XP (SP3) and had no problems installing it on my computer. The bundled software (Cubase LE4) is complicated and not at all user friendly, but the tutorials on the help menu have let me make recordings. It's taken me quite a bit of time to figure out how to use the program, though. I'm impressed by the sound quality of this interface. I use a Shure SM57 microphone that I use with the XLR input, and the sound comes out very clean. When I plug my guitar straight into the interface, there's a slight ringing sound, but not too bad. One thing that didn't come with the Cubase software is a decent selection of software instruments. It comes with drums and bass , but there are hardly any instruments (trumpets, saxophones, etc.) that come with it. I think there's just a flute. I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to add instruments that I want (with freeware, etc). Again, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what a "VST instrument" is, and where to get them. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others. This interface works much better than the M-Audio product I bought before (Fast Track). I couldn't use that interface anywhere near my CRT monitor, as it got really noisy. This interface doesn't have that problem at all. Also, the M-Audio Session software was a pain to install on my computer.

 Doesn't Work with Vista June 2008 Jun 25, 2008
After several hours of searching and hours trying workarounds, the 122L will not work properly & has variety of problems, if you have one then you know, if you don't have one then don't get one, over the years I have found Tascam never quite gets the digital act right, all three Tascam digital products I have bought never quite work right,Tascam is not a digital company & this is a digital age, nuf said

Brilliant for beginners Jan 13, 2008
I bought this Tascam about a year ago and I am very happy with so far. I am using a laptop running Windows XP and haven't had any problems with the device. I find the handling with the Tascam rather easy and think that for this price it is a perfect audio interface for beginners. (And even though it's a little embarrassing to me to mention how "badly" I treat my equipment sometimes, I have to say that I dropped the interface several times and it's still working fine! ;-)). I have connected my electric guitar with it, my keyboard (via both, 1/8 and midi) and I tried different microphones with the Tascam and each of them were picked up just fine.
I really didn't have problems with it and would recommend it as a "beginner's device".

BUYER BEWARE Sep 09, 2007
DO NOT BUY FROM TASCAM. IF YOU NEED THEIR HELP AND THEY ACTUALLY ANSWER THE PHONE THEY WILL HANG UP ON YOU.
MY 122-L IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA. THEY HAVE BEEN "WORKING ON THIS" FOR 8 MONTHS, BUT I AM CERTAIN THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
