USB audio
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. I’m running Production Premium CS4 on Vista 64. I also have a Matrox RTX2. I wanted to update my audio from the onboard mobo audio and came across a TASCAM M164UF mixer that can connect to the PC via USB and take the place of an audio card. The problem I have is when I install the drivers from TASCAM I cannot open Premiere, Encore or Audition 3. Premiere and Encore hang when loading ExporterAVI.prm and Audition won’t even begin to load. Is anyone using an external mixer like this or have any insights. Should I scrap this and go back to my onboard audio or look into a firewire board?

Okay, so NO ONE does professional audio & video? Everybody uses their onboard audio or an audio card? Someone has got to be using a DAW in conjunction with CS4 products. In light of no one responding, he’s what I’ve found so far.
From Adobe: Adobe products don’t like USB – they prefer firewire.
From various forums: Working with audio on Vista Business 64bit is tougher than expected.
From Matrox: We never tried this… duhHow about it Premiere users…

Well after working with the great guys at Sweetwater, I returned the Tascam and picked up a Mackie Onyx 820i FIrewire mixer and everything seems to work just great. I found you have to leave the audio codec in Premiere to the Adobe setting but it seems to work just fine. I can’t wait till the Adobe MPE comes out and I can ditch my matrox card.
