I'm looking at buying a US-428.
I was surprized that I there is not a whole lot of talk of this unit.
Is this a sign? Please let me know you have experience or heard things. I am open to other recording options-soundcards etc.. But I want something that I can use with Guitar Pro (Cakewalk).
 
too busy using it to talk about it.

i use it to record on my laptop when i go to artists' home.

i use it to mix recordings on my desktop.

the only problem that I've had is upgrading to winXP SP1 to stop stutters in the playback. that was a known windows bug in USB, it was not the US-428 that was the problem.

if you go to Tascam's US-428 link there is a link to a BBS where many US-428 owners to go find out stuff.

one day, i'm going to sell my frontier design wavecenter/tango24, mackie 1604, and RNP as well as the US-428 and buy a...

Metric Halo I/O 2882 firewire audio interface. MSRP $1500
 
Thanks for writing back.
Do you use all of those units to record?
I was hoping the Tascam and my Guitar Pro program would be enough to record simple 3-5 track compositions.
Am I deluding myself?
 
i use the US-428 with my laptop, and the frontier design wavecenter/tango24 with my desktop.

my desktop is in an adjacent closet with extension cords for the monitor, mouse and keyboard so that i don't get any PC noise in my recordings.

i've been able to record using the US-428 into a Dell Inspiron 8100 with 16 tracks playing back.
 
I use a US-224, which the baby sister to the US-428, but with 4 faders instead of 8, without the EQ knobs and without that pesky wall wart.

I use it strictly as a laptop recorder (no room at my place for a PC). Also a Dell Inspirion 8100.

Because I have a 4200 rpm resident drive, the drivers that work best for me are the ASIO drivers. No issues with pops or clicks.
 
us 428

im using one with cubase 5.0 and its bloody brilliant.
 
that's right no phantom power.

i turn the gain on the us-428 all the way down, and connect a FMR Audio RNP to the US-428 line-in.
