Review Summary

Rated 3 out of 5

Almost checks all boxes

Solid Mixer/Interface. I use it for live streaming and never had any issues. - It has a great combination of inputs - 1/4 inch monitor outs - USB connection is fast - I'm able to use high capacity/high speed memory cards - Pad functions are great - Responsive touchscreen I'm giving 3 stars because the only Mic effect is reverb. As a DJ and podcaster, I would be nice if they would at least include delay/echo to the available line effects. Then it would be perfect. I've reached out to Tascam but they said there is no plan for such update.
