New subject: Multichannel analog I/O audio interface: experiences and tips
Hey, I didn't know about that! That's awesome. I can try it out and see
if it works if anyone is interested.

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?
Cheers!

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.

Hey hey,
my two old Delta 1010 cards are definitely dying now. So I need
replacement for all those analog I/Os. I have found three
candidates:
Behringer X Air XR18, Presonus ARC16C and Tascam
u16x08(?) and
would
be glad if anyone could share experiences with
them under Linux.
I'm
also looking for further alternatives (see my
minimum requirements
below). I definitely need multichannel audio coming from the
device.
The Tascan appears to have many microphone inputs, which cannot
serve
for line level input, if that really is so,
it's out.
The Behringer requires the app, which I have not been able to test,
but its accessibility is not that important, if the XR18 will
remember
settings across power cycles.
The ARC16C's description reads very well, but there are many
dubious
reviews, perhaps it was an early
"Monday" manufacturing problem
though.
My requirements: one mic in (no need for +48V phantom power), one
instrument in (Clavinet, I think it needs extra amping), at
least 12
line level ins, 14 preferred. Four outputs (main
out and to
"sends" to
outboard). No DSP, routing/bussing,... My
workflow is purely
centred
in the box, using JACK for all connections.
Based on the three candidates, I'd say my price range has to go
up to
700 EUR.
Any experiences and further suggestions are very much appreciated!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Over at the Ardour forums we helped someone get it working a few months ago:
