Hello, what about the Tascam-Gtk application? What I was able to find in the www, is that it should do the trick. Has anyone have any experience with that one?

Hey Jeanette,
I wanted to tell you my experience with the Tascam US-16x08 on Linux.
First off, it works and shows up under alsa. You get the inputs and
outputs which is really nice.
Now for the downside: it has its own proprietary software that doesn't
exist on Linux for digital processing and mixing. Basically, the
interface has its own mixing utility that also allows one to apply
limited dsp effects and mix/route audio. If you wanted to stay solely on
Linux, this cannot be used.
Now, if you buy the interface and it has a clean slate for its digital
mixing/processing state, it may work just fine for your needs. But, if
you buy it used, you may have to change it to that clean/stock slate first.
Let me know if you have any questions about the Tascam US-16x08, as it
literally is sitting next to me at work and I can just plug it in and
try out things for you when I have free time.
