TASCAM M-164UF 16-Input Mixer with Effects and USB 2.0 Interface
The Tascam M-164UF 16-Input Mixer is a fantastic mixing board that is quite capable of good results in a live setting as well as home project studio environment. Let's take a quick look at some of the features of this hot selling M-164UF 16-Input Mixer.
First, the TASCAM M-164UF 16-Input Mixer with Effects and USB 2.0 Interface retails for under $300 (pretty affordable, considering what it does). It features 6 mic inputs with XLR ins and phantom power. While we would have liked to see 8 inputs, as some other mixers have, at 6 inputs this is a decent amount and should allow for basic miking of live bands and/or drum recording as well. The phantom power works well and the mics sound great through the M-164UF.
Each mic input also has 3 band filtering passes which allow for fine tuning of your overall sound in the early stages. There are an additional 5 stereo line inputs on the Tascam bringing the total number of inputs closer to 16 globally speaking. What is most impressive about the Tascam M-164UF 16-Input Mixer are the onboard digital effects, which sound great and offer a level of flexibility in live settings that really make those performances stand out. It is often difficult or clunky to carry around racks of equipment and the digital effects that come standard on the Tascam M-164UF 16-Input Mixer more than do the trick in a variety of settings.
Includes Cubase LE4 48-track recording workstation for connecting to your Mac or PC.
Overall, the Tascam M-164UF 16 Input Mixer is a great product which has the power to improve your sound tremendously.

I just learned that some USB 2.0 mixers will stream as many outputs as they have inputs to the computer allowing real multi-track recording. But I just don’t see it mentioned in the ads or descriptions in my searches, Will this one do that? The other thing is not many seem to have drivers for a new 64 bit computer or Win7, We really need Linux drivers to solve a lot of problems on the consumer end, any chance his one has good drivers?
