All user reviews of 4/5 for the Tascam FireOne

Crossing here, just to kill some rumors ... I used this card there is still a year as its main card with Ableton 8 in win7 32bit. So yes, it is compatible beyond XP.

EXCEPT: it could never be my default multimedia sound card under Windows 7. Mean by that that I could not make him read such sound in media player. I never understood why (I was working in 16bit 44100 also in my DAW), but it does not pose a problem for me since I had another soundcard (Alesis Multimix FX) who was helping me on the few occasions where I had need. This PC is dedicated to music, I'm not using the HiFi.

UTILIZATION

I never had any problems with crashes, I have more with the fast track ultra 8R that I use for. Although this last has other advantages, but I regret the stability side FireOne. Besides latency side, I think it is worth, and it was faster than the FX multimix which I used to kick Mixer and only emergency card at the time.

Never had either of installation problems, at least for me to use in Ableton, either as a sound card or as a remote control.

A notice lower talks about noon compatibility problem ... uh .... I do not see what it could be ... She has always responded to the finger and the eye in my case.

GETTING STARTED

No need to book. I have not had any compatibility issues from the problem mentioned above. It has always worked well whatever the app I used with: stand alone vsti, sony audition for editing, Sony Vegas for video editing, ... never had bread.

OVERALL OPINION

It has certain advantages:
> Low latency
> Dual headphone output with independent settings
> Balance between the direct and after conversion (when shooting), that's cool.
> Double phantom power supply
> Large VU meters
> The controllers !!!! why is it always wisely placed on my desk this big jog informed that allows easy navigation (in live audition and sony / vegas is nickel), just the buttons above to record, play and stop, forward, back .... She always used me for that. In addition to Push, mode setting, I think I would have great difficulty me spend jog. And if I post this review today is that I think at the price it costs Cygnus, I would buy just for that if I loose my own one day.

The negative aspect is clear is that it's firewire, so must have the catch. And what about the OS has come, and what about Mac, I know. But I wanted to pay tribute to him, because it is always an extension of my hand, and I see his side dive with sadness ...

She served more than 5 years as a sound card, it still serves me as a controller. She looks indestructible.

The Tascam FireOne is a very small and compact device that can be moved from computer to computer quickly and easily. The best thing about this interface is that I didn’t have to install anything while I was using it a few years ago. Any one of my computers that I plugged it in, it worked right away without any driver installations, which was weird but I was happy it was like that because it saved me a lot of time.


UTILIZATION

There was no set up at all for me, it was plug and play. This little device as two microphone inputs and two main outs as well. I didn’t expect that when I was reading up on the product online before purchasing it from the website. Once you purchase the FireOne (if you buy it new) you will also receive a copy of Live Lite 6 the Tascam edition. Which is basically a recording interface or a DAW, but I wouldn’t use that software because I am comfortable with the software that we already use. But just in case you need something to record with, it comes with it.


GETTING STARTED

I had zero compatibility issues with the FireOne nor did I have any issues with using it in Cubase and in Acid Pro. It synced right up and was recognized and worked immediately. It does come with a very thin small manual but you wont need it at all.


OVERALL OPINION

Best part about the Fire One is that it is small and compact , but at the same time it still gives you two inputs for microphones. Yes, it is a very good small interface, but I feel it is a little overpriced because there are other interfaces that can do the same thing and have the same specs as the FireOne and they are about 50 dollars cheaper. But, its worth the buy. It will do exactly what you need it to do and its easy to pack up and take with you.

OVERALL OPINION

Right, well I use it now for just over a month.
It's really not bad at all.
The pramps plutt are warm and enjoyable, the ASIO driver seems well made and remains stable trs. Only li Firewire problem, not the map, dsynchronisations are unfortunately common with my laptop, but did not budge on my lap. I dduis that li-format connectors FW laptops that are of type 4-pin (mini) instead of a 6-pin turn.
So, has also raised the problem of electric power which is impossible in the 4-pin o autoaliment on the card is a 6-pin FW port.
It's a shame as this card is dedicated nomadism as having to walk around with a power strip and a power supply externally in addition to the laptop is not very convenient.
But I plan to buy an adapter PCMCIA / Firewire or PCI EXPRESS / Firewire (if a exists), which should rgler the problem. I'm just waiting for a 15aine days because I have to get a brand new DELL that I do not know what types of ports it has prcisment (not have much choice because it is a market to purchase li s public).

Remains a problem, the lack of second FW port on the card m ^ m. Indeed, if one uses the BTE with a laptop does not have HD trs fast (as is usually the case with HD 5400RPM laptop), it becomes tedious to work faile latency. So, you have to connect an external HD, and if it is not a USB2, Firewire is a forcment. However, laptops have rarely more than one FW port. Feedback, less than an HD possder be able to chain another prriphrique FW, we are stuck.
My HD FW possde this property since it has three connectors, one and two USB2 FW, a 6 and a 4 pin. Obviously, ct nomadism is the revert still increases because once again the weight and number of power supplies and cables.
But it's cool if plutt has internal HD speed.
Remains the midday duo I have yet to test and control functions that I have yet too few to judge achievement by the transport controls and jog wheel is trs agr able. I use the gear in Cubase 4, Live 7, and I test in SX2 no problem except that the wheel DPLA cursor SX2 measure by measure and I did not look further to see if we can change, but in C4, no problem, it is well dplace frame by frame. Probably a configuration problem in SX2, probably at the preferences of the Scrub or quantization, I do not know.

Ah otherwise, for between a high-functioning Impdance nickel.

I used a lot of interfaces audionumriques over the last 10 years. I sold an X-Station 25 there is little to go on the FireOne. My X-Station silent incompatible with i915 chipset on my laptop and I regret but sold out of its synth section I could not use it so ... Since then, the FireOne has changed my life that do not have good keyboard Intgr but ultimately has not impede me as a particularly since I do audio and I use Groove Agent 1 and 3 for the rhythm. The synths, well, I record the guitar with what I want to hear them play later, and back to the studio, I replace the guitars tmoins by real synths, so I had going .

In my opinion, I ratio Q / P is a bit too low because the price is, when 40,000 m ^ m not analog. J'exagre a little is sr, but there are few prs m ^ m the benefit from the competition and finally a little cheaper.

Still, I long to me hsit DCID for this MODEL, and I think I would do the m ^ m if a choice is Submitted.

Finally, it is when m ^ m take into account what I said earlier about the lack of a second connector FW, which may lack some of the DCID prfrer a USB2 interface.

OVERALL OPINION

Yeah I reu in 5 days with T-bone microphone for singing beginners in April 2009 by the German site. And frankly it's the bomb! So I prcise I'ma nophyte So I give you my impressions but not too Whereas.

The case is larger than it parat the pictures. The quality of the housing is good but the rest of the plastic
The buttons have a good rglage Resistors (a runs well I do not know how to express myself) and the wheel Ragit even better!
Premire surprises: the book and FireWire cable 6 pin / 6 pin. Between my laptop with only 4 pins of I go to Carrefour to buy a cable 4 pin / 6 pin (12 euros).
I galr Vista. The driver is not recognized or gnrique ASIO4ALL driver. I saw on the official website that while there is a vista compatible driver said in a document they prcisent that vista is not officially support.
So I reinstalled windows XP (which I should have done long ago for many other reasons).
And the pilot "Tascam FireOne" is recognized (on the other hand ASIO4ALL does not work).
I tried the Ableton Live software that came with the card demo (limit 4 tracks and 2 effects per track). Trs is unstable and more I can not configure the shortcuts of the card the wheel.
I then replaced by Cubase SX3. And it's the bomb.
trs it works well! Even with multiple effects mic + guitar singing is impeccable. Trs is stable and the quality of the sound is perfect for my ears
There is a patch for cubase install when you install the official driver (so before installing Cubase) and shortcuts Firon trs walk well (You must choose the options peripherals "Asio Tascam FireOne" otherwise you may have a lot of latency. For example the wheel to navigate a track is a rgal.
I t surprised not to choose the sound output through my pc. I have to go out the sound of the FireOne. It's not a big problem either.
LED / wheel for mtronome not work well trs (to trigger only 2 out of 4 times but I can not possibly be well set.

I install Guitar Rig 3 and Amplitube 2.
I abandoned the first as well as trs INTERESTED gre shortcuts FireOne card (I'm not Russian for the wheel) but the sound contains noise for some pr-r tings.
on the other hand with AmpliTube's magic! Perfect sound and no matter how many effects you can play live. Latency is imperceptible (default 5ms, we can get 2 ms but I see no difference and I know if a enlve of quality so I remain in default).
(There is no latency problem when registering with cubase + plugin AmpliTube guitar and microphone with direct return our answer to your question)

This is a little to my expriences résumé:
- Vista trash
- Ableton Live trash
Cubase SX3 + trs well recognized
+ Amplitube 2 trs well recognized
+ No perceptible latency guitar (effective) + microphone singing (effective)
+ It only cost me 125 + 10 + 12 port for cable (I think a proper enfn from my research and especially the many possiblilité opened up this sound card!)
