Post by daithi »

Anybody using a Tascam 208i with Linux?
I'm thinking about getting a new interface and the 208i is one I'm looking at.

The Begringer U-Phoria series are class compliant and do not require a driver or configuration software. A quick glance at Tascam's web page on this device shows that it has it's own Win/Apple config utility. Dunno 'bout class compliance. A quick Google search by me did not provide any usable info either.

So if you buy one you might enlighten us on its Linux compatibility. :mrgreen:

I believe it's class compliant. As for the config utility, it could be a good excuse for me to have a go at writing a kernel driver.
If I do go for it, I'll be sure to let you know how I get on with it. :)

got it since 2 weeks, bought it 15th dec 2021 but received a non working one badly, returned to Tascam Fr, but now it's all good ! :)

on Win10 their mixer is Awesome !

4 samples to 2048 !!! if you got a crazy CPU..

on Linux im learning, look other topik i posted, but great interface.. people are crazy to dunno that Interface ! they know only RME UAD Focusrite.. i had Focusrite Saffire pro 24 before.

ask questions if needed, but im bad on Linux .. i use it with Bitwig 4 & on Win & Ubuntu-Studio LTS.. but mostly Win coz i bought lot of plugins iLok etc...
