hi fellow us-1641 users,

just bought the unit last week.
preamps sound great.
unfortunately i get artifacts on channel 1 and 2. intermittent but pretty bad. all the other channels are fine. anybody getting something similar? probably just a buggered unit. unfortunately if you live here in australia tascam gives you bugger all support.
as for the latency: as far as i understand reaper tries to compensate for latency based on the latency value the driver reports. the tascam asio driver is a bit confused here it seems and does not know what it's own latency is. You can compensate manually in reaper.
i think it is in options->buffering. at the bottom of the form there's the auto compensation checkbox you have to uncheck and than you gotta do a bit of trial and error to find out how many millisecs of lat you get for your settings. If you have the correct settings latency should be no problem at all (at least for overdubbing; if you use virtual instruments you are in trouble)
hope that helps.
