Tascam has a new unit available, it seems to offer quite a lot at a very low price ... which makes me suspect.

Does anyone have any experience with the Tascam FW1884?

Below is a list of features, but I notice one major feature that is missing: latency-free monitoring.

*I posted a similar thread in Home, Project Studios, but realized this is the forum I should be asking in... anyways

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with the RME Fireface 800? Last year, just as I was narrowing the gear list down of what to finally buy, I decided I'd wait a while and see what other systems/solutions developed. I've hardly been online in the past year to keep up with the latest innovations. I did feel somewhat trapped with PTLE and needing to continue down that road.

Hi,

ok so i had pretty much decided to go with a MOTU 828mkII with an m-audio octane for connecting 8 drum mics! for live i'd use my Behringer 2004's 4 of 8 preamps ! it has a main output and an alternative! i'd connect mics to 4 channels and pan them hard right and left! then i'd send from the outputs to the direct ins of the 828mkII.

I'm having a hard time getting started with digital recording.
But I aint giving up. If there's a real simple easy to use program
that I can use with my m-audio that would be great.
There's gotta be one thats user friendly for the newbe.
Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

What do I do first? I got m-audio firewire and I guess i'l use the reason adapted, I'm an old reel-to-reel guy and would like to put my old stuff on CD.But I just dont get this new digital gear.
You know it looks easy, the reason mixer board... But how do I get it to talk to the m-audio hardwear?

I am having trouble deciding whether to get an analog console or a digital one such as the DM24.

I'll be recording to a DAW on a PC or Mac.

I like the immediacy of the analog console but with a Digital one such as DM24 (actually only one currently) I can do without external AD/DA and go direct into computer.

I want to post my problem here to see if anybody's encountered it before. I have found a workaround for the time being, but i'm not satisfied with the answer I'm getting.
