I am concerned that one day in the future, Tascam will stop updating the Driver/app you need to get all 16 inputs into your DAW. If that happens, I guess you just get the 1st 8 mic inputs, which would work for me but who wouldn't like to have all the features work all the time?
If such a thing should come to pass in the future. That will be out dated and you will buy a new one with many inputs.

Is it possible to simultaneously record ...
Is it possible to simultaneously record multi-track to a DAW and have a 1-to-1 pass thru for the first 8 XLR inputs to the first 8 TRS outputs? I'd like to basically put this in front of my 10ch mixer as a "pass thru multi-channel audio interface"
The included DSP mixer allows the user to route any input to any output, so this type of "pass-through" recording should be possible with the Tascam US-16x08.

I have the Adobe Creative Cloud and I work on an HP workstation. Does this supply 16 separate channels of audio to Adobe Audition over a single USB cable? Would I need a special adapter to record the separate channels of audio?
No special adapters are needed. And it will supply all 16 separate channels of audio. 8 on XLR connectors and 8 on 1/4" TRS connectors. Make sue all required drivers are installed.

question
The specs don't mention drivers for using the 16x08 interface with Android tablets. Are there drivers for Android?
Here's an update. A friend purchased a 16x08 a few years ago, and I have enjoyed using it very much. In spite of the 16x08 not being advertised to work with Android, I have been able to use it with two Android devices: a Lenovo tablet (from 2016, running Android 6) and a Moto G6 phone (from 2018, running Android 9). In both cases, I used the USB Audio Recorder Pro app for Android. (In both cases, I need an "OTG" cable to adapt the connectors and to put the phone/tablet into "host" mode.)

question
Does nyone know if this is compatable with Reaper ?
Reaper has not been officially tested by Tascam, however with the proper drivers installed from Tascam, Reaper should recognize the US-16x08 as an I/O device.Unfortunately we are unable to confirm, but are aware of many users that use Reaper with Tascam interfaces.
