Because I use either my Yamaha mixer or a Mackie Mix 8 for headphone cue mixes I don't actually use the software. You don't have to open it to use the interface and the only time I do open it would be to change my buffer settings. The us1800 guy was getting 2,000 samples. Ever note you play would be printed 400 samples early. But it's enough to drive me bonkers when trying to overdub bass for example. And the small amount of offset would go unnoticed by most people. I like Tascam gear and am hoping they do get the driver issue sorted. So your right to be concerned about the drivers and I have asked if any owners of the new Tascam's could run the loop back test and see if this is resolved. I know these are old interfaces but the drivers were just released in December. A looback test is worth it for all DAW users. It was off by around 800 ms I then tested my Scarlett and it's timing was right on.
Another member was having issues with a us1800 and so I ran a loop back test on mine. I had to ditch it because of the driver performance, otherwise I'd still be using it. Focusrite pre amps are good but my guess is the Tascam pre amps are something I'd like better. I also have a Joe Meek pre amp and TC Bass pre amp so I need the line inputs. I have a Yamaha digital mixer so SPDIF is a must. One guy here started a spread sheet to compare features. So make a list of the features you find important. If you are going to need 4 mike pre amps then the Tascam is worth a look. To many people buy interfaces and don't really think about how they will use it. The 6 inputs are 2x XLR multi 2X TRS line/Intrument 1X SPDIF stereo MIDI in / out This configuration is perfect for my set up and this is what you need to also consider. I have the 6i6 and yes it's a great unit. Note that neither provides ADAT I/O, you'll need to look elsewhere. However, you can't go wrong with Focusrite either. Overall I have been extremely pleased with the quality and stability of the US-4x4. I don't know whether it will fix that user's problem or not. If I left the onboard drivers enabled, I had the same problem. In the thread, TASCAM did they said they had found an issue and were doing a fix. However, I could not replicate in fact I could get SONAR and any combination of Windows devices playing back simultaneously by disabling the computer's onboard audio drivers and enabling only the TASCAM drivers. One person here had a problem where he could not play back through SONAR and play back through Windows sound devices without closing one and waiting before opening the other. I've had no problem with the drivers since the 1.01 version was released (version 1.0 had an issue with crackling under heavy VSTi loads independent of crackling caused by too low a latency setting). I use the US-4x4 primarily because of the mic pres, which I tested and are excellent, and it having 5-pin MIDI DIN I/O.
