Tascam FW-1082 Control Surface
I just got the new swee****er catalog and there are a couple new control
surfaces. The Tascam FW-1082 caught my eye beacuse of it's price $599 and features. It says that it "works as a HUI-compatible control surface and MIDI interface for Pro Tools.. This is half the price of items like the M-Audio ProjectMix I/O or the Digi 003 (the new improved version of the Digi 002). Is there a catch with this Tascam control surface, or is it a full functional I/O like the two other control surfaces i mentioned? Thanks, -Adam |

Is there a catch with this Tascam control surface If you want to use it with ProTools, the catch is that you need a Digidesign interface in order for ProTools to run (and you also need ProTools). The M-Audio Project Mix will run the M-Powered ProTools version and the Digidesign 003 comes with a copy of ProTools LE. Before you get out your credit card, look at the total cost to get the system you want. You can use the TASCAM as a mixer control surface with a low cost version of ProTools with the M-Box, but the M-Box will be your only audio I/O (it might recognize the TASCAM's MIDI I/O - I'm not sure about that). If you want ProTools with multi-channel I/O, the Project Mix is probably the cheapest way to go. If you'd be happy with Cubase LE that comes with the TASCAM, that's probably cheaper. |

Either you pay for a full version of Pro Tools, or you're better off choosing a gadget that serves as a ProTools dongle. I'm not sure it's an 'either/or' situation, even the full versions of ProTools will still require some DigiDesign or M-Audio hardware (depending on the version) to run. |
