B & H has the Tascam US-122MKII for just $45 today.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/657978-REG/Tascam_US_122MKII_US_122MKII_USB_2_0.html/dealZone/true

I'm just getting into the audio world (and just discovered this thread tonight) and that thing popped up in my inbox so I figured it might be relevant.

I'm sure it's not on the level of some of the stuff in here for sure, but for beginners it seems like there's not a lot to lose.

Haha this came in and it's hilariously poorly built. It's got 4 big knobs on it and NONE of them rotate with the same tension. One has perfect resistance and the other three are varying degrees of "loose" to "there's no way this can actually work" loose. It also has three dip switches. Again one is perfect and one is medium and one is incredibly loose.
It's like the loving Goldilocks of terrible hardware design.

Yeah, I mean, Tascam.....

We have precisely one other piece of Tascam equipment in our gear lineup. A TR-60D that flies with our 5D package. I mean it's not the best thing in the world, but it's still built ten times better than this piece of poo poo.

They're just all over the place, that's what I mean, some stuff is great, some is just terrible.

Yeah it definitely puts me off from future purchases.

Also, what the hell is your avatar from? Jesus Christ.

All right, this new Roland interface is enticing.

http://www.rolandus.com/products/super_ua/

Muuuch better idea than the weird Mobile UA thing they did a few months ago, which was really just a DAC with 1/8" outputs.

And in case you missed it, Arturia finally spilled the beans on their new interface, and it does look pretty good: http://www.arturia.com/audiointerface

So, I plan to get the Roland, Arturia, and the Zoom one Flipper mentioned a few months ago and do a round-up.

Proper link for the Arturia: http://www.arturia.com/audiofuse/overview
