This is the first soundcard I purchased, I was motivated by the price and complete a priori (MIDI phantom power etc. ...).
I have a MacBook Pro, 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB RAM Logic Studio 9
I use it primarily for recording acoustic guitars via micro AUDIO Technika 8022 and control by monitoring speakers (very classic what: d)
UTILIZATION
Problems arise when the first use ... On Windaube with Cubase LE 4 no problem with drivers, but not Mac! And yes, Leopard does not recognize the card! And the more inexplicable is that despite that Logic recognizes it anyway, phew ...
So for the stability of drivers eh ... we'll come back and the height of the coup is that the control panel does not control, well ... nothing! Be impossible to resolve anything at all. Indeed, it is written in the instructions for use ... thank you for giving us TASCAM warned!
I put a simple to operate Losedoze, but Mac compatibility is one crazy world!
GETTING STARTED
To install the drivers fortunately it did not already planted that it does nothing ... The pilot general config is simple because extremely basic, which is a good place for a first approach of computer music.
Regarding the manual it'll be nice that translate into French TASCAM's completely manual and not just the part explaining how to connect a USB socket on a computer ...
OVERALL OPINION
And although the general opinion is wrong. I use it for 6 months and I will not go that choice. Usage is chaotic map eat all the PC resources, so the recording will stop regularly because of "disk overload". The preamp is bad, it is necessary to push the pots out of a microwave background to get a decent signal at the output ...
In conclusion if it's just to mumuse with Cubase LE, why not, even if that means there is a lot cheaper. But to get really computer music go your way ...
