MGR/The Staggering Odds « Tascam FW-1884 »
Published on 02/16/04 at 15:00Bought this beauty off Ebay New in box with warranty for $1198. I needed to replace an old, loud powered mixer I was using for recording along with replacing my audio/midi interface
Works flawlessly with Sonar 2.2XL. Automation is a breeze. What fun it is to see those faders flying!! LOL!! spdif inputs allow me to patch my Line6 Pod Pro XT straight in. ( My amp does not get used these days!) 4 Midi in/outs allow me to connect all my midi gear (Yamaha DGX500 keys, Zoom123 Drum machine, Yamaha SU-700 sampler & Yamaha TX81Z Sound module). Inserts on all channels allow me to patch my DOD S100,Behringer Ultraph EQ, Antares AVP-1 Vocal Producer and Aphex Aural exciter 103C on different channels. I can change my input signal to the channel already set up for the desired processing. Smooth linear volume control into my Event 20/20p Monitors. Sweet! Lots more to discover with this unit. Seems like the configurations are endless. Great Unit!
This unit was a little complicated for me at first, but I am, getting the hang of it. i am not sure I would advise it for a person's first interface unless you have some previous knowledge of mixing and computers.
Built like a tank! Looks great! Heavy & Solid.
I like going into my studio now to record. Before it was such a hassle to just get things set up, that I often just played around instead of actually recording. Now, everything is in it's place and ready to go with a flip of my ETA PL11 Power Strip. The Staggering Odds are hoping to produce a CD in the next year and never leave my studio!
