Default Great deal on 6 channel USB interface

Just a heads up- GC has the Tascam US-800 on sale for $99. It was $250-$300. They're probably closing it out for some reason, but I'm here to report that this is a great unit for the price, even before this mark-down. I use it to record our trio into a Mac using Cubase, it was the only interface I could find anywhere near this price (besides the Zoom R16 and R24) that allows 6 SIMULTANEOUS channel recording through USB. You need a fast computer and drive, but it really works. The setup and interface are a bit clunky and the case is plastic, but the mic pre's seem pretty clean and the recordings as well. For $99 it's a steal.

Thanks for this- I was looking at that, but I don't record drums enough to justify it, and when I do, I tend to like one mic in front of the kit anyway. Other members may like it though!!
