This thing saves you a lot of money because you don't have to go to a studio to create a great Live sounding recording. I am a Music Education Major and I generally use the US-144 to record my Universities Brass ensembles for competitions as well as to hear the balance, blend and phrasing of the groups so that we can address problems before we make the final recordings for Competitions.

This could just be an issue with the build of Vista that I am using since I am using the Service Pack one Refresh Build!!! Also setting the unit to 96Khz Mono may mean that both Mono Microphone Inputs are set to 96Khz! Anyhow this products recording quality is great and it is perfect for what I use it for. I do have one issue with this product however (In vista the option to change the devices Sample Rate is missing in the control panel, however it does show up in the audio settings for playback and recording devices in Vista's audio Control Panel) I have never been able to set the device to Stereo 96Khz only Mono? I'm not sure why and it does not effect me since I always record at 44100Khz from my condenser Microphones. In both cases the product performed very well and I have had no problems with it. I have also used this product successfully with Adobe Audition 3.0 as well as the included Cubase LE software. As the other reviews say this is a great product for the price and ever since I updated the Firmware and Driver it has worked perfectly with Vista Ultimate.
