Smile Audio interface

Narrowed my choices down to three, wondering if anyone could give their experiences with these, which do you prefer and why?

I just ordered the Tascam US-600 from Amazon today for less than $140. It's a 6x4 USB2.0 interface with MIDI, RCA, and S/PDIF. The first channel can be put into a high impedence mode for plugging your instrument straight in, all four channels have mic preamps built in and can do phantom power. If you use the newest version of MacOS don't get it as the reviews say they don't have drivers yet. I'm a Windows / Linux guy so that doesn't matter to me.

I can write up a mini-review for you once I get it on Wednesday (Amazon Prime ftw)

Look for USB 2 compliance
Ones you can use without installing drivers
They will work with windows, Mac, iPad IOS and whatevever is compliant

I think all those are but would need to look them up

Hi guys !

Didn't want to open a new post so here's my question.
I would like to buy an interface that is great for bass, guitar and micing. It's my first one so I don't want something too expensive and sofisticated (and I prefer by far simple things). I would like to have at least 1 xlr pug and 1 instrument plug. My max cost is around 200 bucks.
Here are the two options that I've found so far:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...e-with-usb-hub
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...-with-pod-farm

Any reviews on these ? Which is best ?

Thank you folks

I bought the Tascam US-800 a little while back and am very pleased with it. I think I paid $100 or so at MF on sale.
