Included with the US-1800 is Cubase LE5, Steinberg’s newest workstation software. Six balanced channel inputs are also provided, as well as digital stereo S/PDIF and MIDI in and out. The US-1800 features eight XLR microphone inputs with 60dB of phantom power and clean gain. Up to 16 inputs and 4 outputs transmit to Mac or Windows via a high-speed USB 2.0 connection. The US-1800 audio interface from TASCAM offers more inputs than any interface in its class. If you want the most input to your computer for the minimum amount of cash, TASCAM’s US-1800 is the single best choice. If you’re having device issues, one of the first things you should do is download the latest driver, uninstall the current driver, and then install the new driver that you downloaded. I also might use a stereo USB board mix feed and run Sonar in WDM mode ( now WASAPI ) so projects can have 18 audio tracks.Outdated drivers can cause crashes, slowdowns, and other issues that affect your productivity and enjoyment of using your computer. Keyboards use the midi so there's all 17 channels. Then the front 8 XLR get guitar amps, back up vocals and other drum mikes, The 9/10 I've used for acoustic guitar and Amp TRS DI outs. and the SPDIF so there's the back 6 channels.

I use 11/12 13/ 14 fed from my 4 Aux outs of the 01v. I'll use the SPDIF for the drum overheads because that's stereo. Because I need compression on certain channels I'll use the 01V for lead vocals, snare, kick and Bass. I do use a my 01v mixer when I record a live band with the Tascam. It seems to work for all the stuff I do both tracking and mixing. I leave both my interfaces at a middle setting ( 256?) and never change this. 100's of projects are in 44.1 and I would rather go 48 as I do believe there is a difference but I'm not sure when and where I'd make the swicth over. It allows 100% LOUD control over your cue mix. I have a second output from the Joe Meek as well as a second mike on my amp. I highly recommend something like the Mix 8 for monitoring. I also use small Mackie Mix 8 for cue mix so I don't really use the 01v anymore. I use the 2 front inputs on the Scarlett for my guitars, miked or DI'd.

I have changed my set up and now use a Joe Meek 3 Q as my input for vocals, A Fender rumble for bass input. My Yamaha 01v only runs at 44.1 so therefore in the past I stayed with that so I could use the SPDIF inputs of the TAscam and then the 6i6.
