Tascam-144 Recording Noise issue

[kevinb]

Hey I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction..

I'm a complete novice at this recording thing. I installed the newest drivers for my OS (Vista64) and Windows sound properties and Cubase both pick up sound good coming from my device.

My Tascam US-144 USB interface is configured as sooooooooo.

I am playing a (semi out of tune) Em on an acoustic guitar plugged directly into Line / Guitar In (R) (yes,rly).

However, when I try to record, it sounds like this ..

I recorded it in Windows sound recorder and it also sounded like this.

I noticed in the properties for the recording device that the bit-rate is only 16-bit .. shouldn't it be 48-bit?

Whatcha think? Do you Need any more info?

thanks in advance!

Having a similar issue

Were you ever able to fix this issue? I am having the same problem.

We have an AMDx64 with Vista 32-bit and a US-144. We didn't update firmware yet but have the latest Vista drivers from Tascam website.

Thanks,
Bryan
