What type of hardrive is better to use more audio tracks?
If you think of any PCI hard drive accelerator card and you want to use a UAD-1 or a powercore would it load CPU performance.
Now when it comes down to which of the pasts is better let us know what your experience is.
My choice is SCSI and yours?

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of bying a Tascam FW-1884 and would like to know a bit more about it.
What do you guys think about the mic preamp's, what are they like in comparation to the aardvark q10's?

And if anyone's got a fw-1884, I would appreciate any other info.

Thanks,
K

I just got the Tascam FW-1884 last week. I hooked it up to my computer. I use Digital Performer (version 4.12) with it. Previously, I had a M-Audio Midiman 4x4 that did my MIDI. The computer is a digital audio G4 with 2x533Mhz proc's and 1.1 GB of RAM. It has MacOS X.3, but was upgraded from X.2. (X.2 was a fresh install however)

Hi,

getting a bit confused here. want to upgrade my souped up G3 DT (XLR8 G4 500)with an extra external harddisk (for audio) but I will stay at OS 9.2 for sure..My question:
-is USB 2.0 suitable for OS 9.2 at all? Most pci to usb 2.0 cards are specified for OSX only.
-What would be the preference anyway: FW or USB 2.0?

It's hard for me to believe that for getting so much for so little, that this unit would have high quality Converters and Pres. But we are heading to 2004 in such a brave new world :)

Does anyone know how to hook up this mixing board with nuwindow?

It's on. August 9th @ Cafe Brazil in Deep Ellum in Dallas. It's at 5:00. Email me if you have ideas for what we can do and/or if you wish to attend.

I actually already posted this on another forum. I was going to see if there were enough people in close proximity to Dallas/Ft. Worth to organize a recording nerd dinner/hangout at some point. Sign off.

Haven't seen any press releases but Sweetwater has it listed and Tascam's website is updated with an actual picture of the unit.
Ooooohh what a tasty looking piece o' gear. Perfect for the remote rig I'm considering.
Anyone?

An earlier post got me & many others excited about the newly released Tascam FW1884. The Tascam guy posted the entire spec sheet and everybody drooled.
I've checked dealers and they have never heard of it. I've emailed Tascam (three times) and gotten no response--although it is listed on their website.
Does anybody know anything about it? Really.
