With sixteen inputs, the TASCAM US-1641 is the ideal choice for musicians to record the whole band to a computer. Eight mic/line inputs plus six line inputs gives you plenty of channels for a large ensemble, drumset, live recording or worship service. It includes Cubase LE4, Steinberg's latest version, for 48 tracks of 96k/24-bit recording power. Using the latest high-speed USB 2.0 technology, the US-1641 packs the interfacing power of a big console into only one rackspace. The eight mic inputs employ TASCAM Pro mic pres for 60 dB of gain and phantom power for studio-quality recordings. Two balanced TRS line inputs on the front panel are switchable to guitar level for direct-in recording of bass or guitar tracks. Four more balanced line inputs and outputs fill out the rear panel, along with MIDI and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs for a total of 16 ins. A built-in power supply means there's no special wall-wart to lose, and connection to the computer is handled by USB 2.0 technology - 40 times faster than USB 1.1 and 20% more bandwidth than FireWire 400. The US-1641 comes with Cubase LE4, Steinberg's latest version of the 48-track, 96kHz recording workstation, so you'll be ready to cut tracks right away. Also included is TASCAM's Continuous Velocity Piano, a VSTi plug-in for Windows that uses Giga technology for totally authentic grand piano sounds. The US-1641 installs ASIO and Core Audio drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista 32 and Mac OS X, with simple instructions for hooking up to Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Digital Performer, SONAR, Reason, Live and nearly all other recording software. For musicians and bands always looking for more inputs, the US-1641 is the ultimate choice. Gather up your mics and head to your TASCAM dealer for more.

Phenominal Interface for drum kit and bass...
I looked at virtually every multiple mic interface on the market and couldn't find anything to touch this in features and/or price... so I bought it.
Wow!This thing rocks! I connected up 8 microphones for Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, Tom 1, Tom 2, Tom 3, Left Overhead and Right Overhead... all those mics plug into the 8 XLR mic sockets at the front of the unit. Got some really great 20ft XLR mic cables from Amazon for only $6.95 each (Whirlwind LowZ Microphone Cable (20 Foot) I then plugged in my bass guitar into one of 2 switchable line/guitar 1/4" mono inputs on the front.
Each of the 10 front panel inputs has a volume control knob and red/green led. The drummer hits each drum individually one by one so I can adjust each vol control so that it just occasionally clips red but mostly stays green.
After adjusting the six individual drum mics I now get the drummer to play the whole set and I...

Great So Far
I'm a drummer and I've been looking for something to really record my drums with. I knew I wanted to go with a 7 mic kit but the problem I faced was I couldn't find an interface that would handle 7 xlr inputs and wouldn't drain my bank account. This one certainly seemed to fit the bill once I found it. I've only had it for a few days now but it delivers on it's promise. It's a nice professionally put together piece of equipment. I'm running 7 mics into it and using GarageBand to record each to it's own track. I plan on using something more complex in the future but the Cubase 5 LE (I know the description says Cubase 4 LE but since that's an old version this now ships with version 5) this comes with is confusing and overly complicated. You can use this interface with any DAW or Digital Audio Workstation, like GarageBand, Logic, Cubase, etc. There are a whole bunch out there and this piece of hardware is compatible with all of them as far as I can tell with the exception of Pro...
Great Audio interface for its price range
If you're serious about recording your music and you need a great audio and midi interface for your projects at a reasonable price, this is the one for you.
Packed full of features and power and capability, it more than gets the job done, whether you plan to record with just a keyboard, or your whole band.
The product literature lists the features, so I won't repeat them, but as a new user, the performance I have got from it has been great. Also it's easy to install and set up and integrates easily with any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) you may be using for your project.
I recommend 100%
