Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm using this with a relatively new MacBook and GarageBand. And it sorta works. The updated driver still leaves the Mic VERY quiet and the guitar input not much better. The input dials need to be turned all the way up to get any input. Maybe a 64-bit drive would help, but now Tascam has discontinued this model, so I'm not holding my breath.

Turn your Mac or PC into a complete recording system for music, podcasting or production with Tascam's Track Pack T1 package, which includes the US-122L sound card, MC-VT1 dynamic microphone, HP-VT1 headphones, and Cubase LE4 software--everything you need to produce hit music on your computer.
The US-122L is your computer's gateway into the audio world. More than just a soundcard, it has a pair of pro-quality microphone preamps for connecting any type of microphone. The phantom power switch supplies power for condenser microphones. The US-122L also has a line input for recording powered devices like keyboards, drum machines and guitar amp modelers. You can even plug your guitar or bass directly into the US-122L. With two inputs, you can record two microphones or sources at once, monitoring with the included HP-VT1 headphones. The included MC-VT1 dynamic microphone is ideal for recording instruments like electric guitar, drum kits and rock vocals.
The Track Pack T1 also comes with Cubase LE4 software, which provides 48 tracks of recording and playback with a Tascam interface and a Mac OS X or Windows XP computer. You can edit your tracks to fix timing and mistakes to put together a perfect take. Cubase LE4 has a professional-quality mixer built in with plug-in effects like reverbs, compressors, distortion, auto-pan and more. You can add more VST plug-ins later and there are more free and commercial VST plug-ins than any other format.
