Solid interface
Veselin1 22.02.2020
I'm using Tascam 208i interface for my home studio and for my rehearsals. It is solid with a full metal box. The workmanship is precise. You can set it up fast, easy and convenient. It's stable with no dropouts till now. There is a large rotary knob for monitor speakers level, which is extremely useful and much more convenient than adjusting levels through DAW or other software.
The Ultra HDDA preamps are high quality and very quiet, and their sound is ballanced and natural and have more depth than anything, I've heard below and at this price range. The built-in DSP processor makes the recording process absolutely enjoyable. You can record directly through built-in EQ, with the low cut especially usefull. The reverb is simple, but high quality one with very natural sound. The only thing I could not do ‘till now was to record directly with a reverb and not just use it as an aux effect.
And last, but not least - it can work like standalone mixer and preamp, which can be very handy.

This interface remains an absolute favourite after 4 years use
Jenna 13.04.2024
I use this to record acoustic instruments, electric and steel guitars (DI and via miced cabs) and vocals using an Intel Macbook Pro and Reaper as my primary DAW. Also used extensively with Ableton Suite on Mac and Cubasis 3.5 on an iPad Pro 11.

The preamps are really excellent. Clean, deep, high fidelity and very low noise. This is subjective, of course, but I have been doing this for a long time, so know what I like sonically. And I know what’s relatively easy to get a great sound out of -and what isn’t.

The 6 additional outputs are super useful… easy to route signal out to processors and pedalboards, returning through one or two of the front panel channels.

Tascam seem to have leveraged their decades of real studio world know-how to produce products that will stand the test of time and help you produce a really rewarding, creative experience.

My Tascam Series 208 has been in almost daily use for about 4 years performing flawlessly, and has been tested to the limit of its channels regularly. Its so good, and such a part of my workflow that if a disaster happened, I would replace it with another in a heartbeat.

There is a flexibility in use that aids creativity. And when I was looking at expandability, the fact that Tascam make an 8 channel adat equipped rackmount pre with the same preamps was in my mind.

In summary, it is to set up, easy to sound good with, well built and rock-solid. I’m still greatly inspired every time I sit at the home studio desk.

Very bad Windows driver.
MIKE DST 30.04.2024
All good about sound quality , but very bad Windows driver. When you open the software mixer, for example if you want to mute the master, you have to click on mute, a few times on and off to really mute. Also when you record (I'm using Sound Forge), The levels don't match. If I set the levels on Sound Forge to minus 3dB when is recording, after that, the wave is on 0dB, when it's been recorded. So the monitoring and playing levels, don't match at all. Seems that they don't bother to make a new driver for this device. Also I have big problems with latency on ASIO. Otherwise the sound qiality is very good.

Volker aus D. 11.02.2021
Musste wegen der zwingenden Cubase Integration von Steinberg-Interfaces, mir ein zweites Interface zulegen. Das Tascam gefällt mir aber so gut, dass ich es als Haupt-Interface benutze

Pro:
-Mixer-Software übersichtlich
-DA-Wandler klingt transparenter als High-End-DA-Wandler
-Eingänge auf Vorderseite
-Leicht angeschrägte Front, besser zu bedienen
-Vorverstärker gut
-Wichtig: DSP-Mixer mit sehr gutem Hall. Dieses Feature haben selbst die teuren Interfaces nicht, bzw. andere Interfaces in gleicher Preisklasse und das ist gerade wichtig, um Latenzfrei und angenehm Konzertgitarre aufzunehmen.
-Treiber auf dem neusten Stand
-Phantomspeisung einzeln zuschaltbar. (wichtig für unterschiedliche Mikrofone)
-wer es benötigt, hat im DSP-Mixer Compressor und EQ für jeden Kanal
-kein Knacksen beim Einschalten, Ausschalten, Computer runterfahren

contra: keinen digitalen Ausgang, wäre das noch vorhanden, wäre es perfekt!

Insgesamt: zu gut für diesen Preis
