I believe this to be a compatibility issue. Not just my interface but many other simliar models of Tascam have simliar problems. I did some research on the internet and i realized that it seems to be a latency issue with the product. I thought that my computer was too slow but i was wrong. There was one major issue that i found with this product and that was regarding a static noise coming through my speakrers through direct monitoring through the interface itself. I found that the customer support was horrible for this device. THe product also offers jacks for you to plug in your guitar. It allows you to record to Mono channel condensor mics and it also includes Phantom power. The tascam US-122 is compatible with almost every single daw the industry has to offer. The price of the product attracted my attention as it looked like a solid mic pre-amp for my home studio recordings. When i first purchased the Tascam US-122, I was expecting it to work extremely well with my computer which is running windows 7.
