Also, the Tascam does not come with a word clock input or output, so you cannot sync it with another audio interface in your studio, forcing you to use it as a stand alone unit. The USB2.0 connectivity it has means you’ll have to get extra USB-C adapters if you plan on buying the Macbook Pro 2016 but other than that it should work beautifully.
The Tascam US-16×08 loses in terms of preamp quality if compared to other premium audio interfaces like the Audient iD14, but if you’re running a small to medium studio, the sound quality you get from the Tascam would be good enough. The Tascam also sports 8 outputs which will be useful if you mix and master for film – as you’ll require a surround setup. Need a new audio interface that is value for money? The TASCAM sports 8 microphone preamps, 2 instruments line inputs and 6 line inputs giving you a total of 16 simultaneous inputs for multitrack recording.
