Tascam 1082 interface – anyone use it?

[Arnie Schlissel]

Do a search back 12 or 18 months on this forum. I seem to remember some postings about the both Tascam 1082 and 1884 some time after support was added for control surfaces.

[farmeditor] “Has anyone used the Tascam 1082 firewire control surface/audio interface with Final Cut Pro or Studio? “

I’ve had a 1082 for a year now and I think it’s an amazing tool for the price. You can mix 8 channels at a time. it’s very convenient to have analog input for narration or other acoustic devices. The transport controls work in FCP and Soundtrack and although I haven’t tried it the surface is supposed to interface with Motion and Logic as well.

I wish I could have a little more control over the midi assignments for each fader or button. Kinda like keyboard or window layouts in FCP.

The only problem has been that Apple screwed up the Firewire Audio driver in a recent revision. It took a couple of days to find out why all my firewire audio devices were working and discovered that you have to roll back to version 2.0.1.

Buy one you won’t regret it, especially if you find one for half price like I did.
