Why I'm Selling It

This has been my audio interface for the last couple of years but I'm moving to Canada in a couple of months where the voltage is different. I have looked after it well and the condition of the unit is very good. It comes with a AC power adapter, Installation CD with a version of Cubase and a USB lead. I will also copy the latest drivers and manual onto a CD.

I will be sorry to see it go and it has been an excellent piece of kit for the following reasons:-
1. The audio quality is brilliant. I've recorded everything through it guitar, bass, vocals etc. and the results are excellent, as you would expect with Tascam.

2. Using the Tascam as a midi controller allows you 'hands on' control of your software such as Reason, Logic or Cubase. I can't tell you how much fun a sequencer is once you have 9 sliders to play with!

3. The unit is solidly built and the drivers are very stable - I've had no compatability problems and I've used it on four different PC's.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone to pick up a piece of pro audio for a fraction of the original £399 I paid.

Go on treat yourself!
