    Tascam deception

    Tascam US-800Published on 11/16/12 at 03:21

    Nothing more to add than what others have already. Except that mine has a fault .... it is not recognized by Windobe and I have every time I want to use, turn off the device, ie pull the plug and reconnect.
    Use standard by means of a mixing desk.

    UTILIZATION

    simple
    Nothing to say when it works

    GETTING STARTED

    Very bad as I mentioned above. I had a bad fall on No.. but hey it's made in China -> quality is not at the rendezvous. In addition, the installation software has created problems with the OS to crash the PC, just by being connected.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tried several times to make it work, but there are prob soft misrecognized + crash + the fact that …

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tried several times to make it work, but there are prob soft misrecognized + crash + the fact that we should disconnect / reconnect the power supply whenever I want to use.
    I contacted support. I think there must be an error mounting / connection.

    As everything is supposed to work for the user lambda I put this bad note.

    Therefore decided c, I change creamery. 4 used short time. I expect a new card to replace my Focusrite old Terratec Phase 24 agonizing ;)

    Used OS Windows 8 Pro -> did not install the 2 weeks.

    Maoist Kamikaze

    up to 6 entries recorded in simultanéee, MIDI In and Out, SPDIF and Phantom power supply, sampling at 24 bits up to 96 kHz, the source control pots for each channel and all that comes with CUBASE LE 5 for 240 euros, was too good ...

    Because obviously there is a "but"!
    To recap, my setup is a PC recently purchased specifically for (re) start computer music: Pentium Dual Core 3.33, 4GB SDRAM with 64-bit Windows 7. The few

    UTILIZATION

    engistrements Audio of my saxophone are well made, the ADC converters take the road we expect no less from TASCAM. However not tested the preamp '(sorry!), For my AKG microphone is already supplied. Are these the same fitted to the 1641?

    engistrements Audio of my saxophone are well made, the ADC converters take the road we expect no less from TASCAM. However not tested the preamp '(sorry!), For my AKG microphone is already supplied. Are these the same fitted to the 1641?

    Finally, practical side:
    The adjustment pots are not source too cheap and can really use it,
    Mains mandatory (not for mobile use)
    No Input Hi-Z
    No direct monitoring button "Zero Latency"
    Phantom power supply which is operated for all inputs.

    All this would not be too serious - for the price - if the beast would deign to work. Starting with the fact that Windows does not recognize the start, we must turn it off and on again (no ON / OFF button, so have fun with us the power supply wire, my friends!). But to use, messages sudden "No USB device recognize" are not uncommon, and try to reconfigure the thing along the way impairs the health of Win7! And your music too ...


    GETTING STARTED

    Installation is quick and is done without problem.

    The document "Important Notes" and under "Known Issues" (known problems) you are, however, the chip in his ear: Do not start with a jack plugged in, do not send MIDI signals during the launch of Cubase, do not touch USB cable ... the pig would be so sensitive? Bingo!
    And even according to all these precautions, it leaves lollipop at a time or another.
    TASCAM support seems overwhelmed and their response is: "Call us .....". At The 04 0 Do you speak fluent English has, or German?



    OVERALL OPINION

    If we add the specific problems of CUBASE 5, which obviously (like AI), does not support VST certain point of planting, this couple US800 - Cubase LE 5 is a nightmare for Maoist!

    TASCAM development teams are certainly focused on the machines very common (U.S. ... 1641); the few c. ... to believe in the U.S. 800 will wait for a stable driver.

    Not me anyway, because the machine has already returned to the sender!
