Anyone using Tascam DM-3200 with Logic

Anyone using the Tascam DM-3200 with Logic? Sure seems like an easy solution combination of converters and DAW control, plus onboard effects.

Hey Joseph,
I have this combination. I like it so far. I'm not really a "mixer" person but I am resolute in learning how to use this thing in depth!
Anyways, as far as controlling Logic, I got it working pretty easily. It seems that the faders don't seem as "sensitive" as my Logic Control (I think I mean resolution, perhaps?). I also have not played with the Tascam enough to know what other features are mapped out besides just level faders. It is very easy to switch between a fader layer and the Mackie control layer: just one button press. One thing though is if I have logic set to auto-sync in, and play, it will receive some timecode from somewhere and then stop after 2 bars. Don't know why this is, and it means I'll have to disable the Tascam's midi if I want to sync Logic to, say, Protools.
I connect my old 828 via Adat to Tascam and it sounds so much better than the Analog ins to the Tascam, so I'm happy about that. I have also the 8 Analog input card so I have a total of 24 Analog Ins which is nice too.
If you have any specific questions, I'll try to asnwer them, but so far, i like the combination a lot. My one complaint - they put the Control Room volume way up at the top of the mixer. My keyboard (Roland XV88) protrudes a bit from the front of the mixer, so i can see myself getting back spasms if I reach that volume control a lot!! I guess I'm shorter than the average user! Anyways, the mixer sounds good enogh to my ears.
Cheers
Ken
PS The manuals for the mixer are at Tascam's website. You can also take a peek at them to get a sense how things are setup.

  • Anyone use the Line6 KB37 with Logic?

    I've been planning to get a new interface and was going to go with the Apogee Duet, but then discovered the Line6 KB37. Can anyone here that has it comment on it? How are the mic pres? Is it pretty stable? How is the latency? Feedback appreciated. Thanks....

    hi..i've advocated the KB37 many times on this forum, you get a lot of bang for your bucks, the best aspect is that there is ZERO LATENCY!!, that's right, absolutely ZERO, so you can set logics buffer to max and it wont matter, this is because the KB does all the monitoring. The mic pre's however are very average, but for what you pay that's no surprise. You can hear some of my work on www.steveshadforth.com ,all logic and KB37. Good luck with whatever choice you make, keep coming back to the forum!! Steve

  • Is anyone using a Digi 003 with Logic? What is latency like? Thoughts?

    Hey EVeryone
    I am looking at a Digi 003 interface for running Logic... we are keen to use an automated desk, instead of the Yamaha n12 currently in use...
    The n12 has been BRILLIANT in terms of low-latency monitoring - we usually run it at a buffer of 32 samples and for most scenarios, even with a fair few effects running, that works really well for direct monitoring through Logic.
    I'm interested to know what experiences people have had with the Digi 003 in terms of latency...
    Another thing I love about the n12 is that I can just monitor straight through it, when I don't need to run any effects in real-time on the channel I'm recording. This is a simple thing that's really handy.
    Is there any such option for running a channel straight through the 003 at zero-latency, if required?
    Any other feedback, beyond the issue of latency, would also be welcomed!
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    I have a 003R, I loath it. I have had to have it sent back for repair many times to Digidesign. I bought it to retain compatibility with ProTools incase clients brought PT sessions in. Well, since I bought it, I have had zero requests to use PT. It has issues with latency, frequently changing from one recording to another and not recognizing the buffer settings within Logic. The latency issues were the same within PT too, even switching from 44.1 to higher settings like 48Khz made it have latency. I have had enough so I am selling it and switching back to an all Apogee system.
    Mattrix is right, shop around, there are way better systems for less money out there. Only get one if you absolutely need ProTools compatibility.
    Sincerely
    Bobbi
    ps Another frequent problem is it "drops" from the system and you have to reboot it to use it again...

  • Anyone using reason 4.0 with logic?

    im using reason 4.0 abby road samples and im getting latency when i try to record tracks. i have a 2.0 processor and 2 gigs of ram. any advice?

    I had that problem B4. I was getting huge latency in my mic when trying to do vocals and couldn't figure out why for the life of me. Then EVEN THO I WAS TOLD BY EVERYONE THAT PLUGINS ARE NO LONGER USING CPU WHEN BYPASSED, I did have the PSP Vintage on my Master but IT WAS BYBASSED! after I removed it completely, no more latency! So Maybe one of your hefty plugins is the culprit??

  • Using Edirol PCR keyboard with Logic

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using Logic with an Edirol PCR midi keyboard. From what I understand you can program the keyboard using Edirols software editor or using key mapping in Logic. I looks like it would be a lot easier to use the built in key mapping if it worked well opposed to programming the midi with the software. I also see that you can download a control map from Roland that was made for Logic 6 and was wondering if anyone knows if it works with 7 and how well if it does. I just hoping it will be easy to use use this keyboard with Logic beause it has knobs and sliders. The final question I have is if you can use an expression pedal connected to a midi keyboard with a guitar. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I also meant to ask if anyone has used a Tascam US-428 with Logic. I haven't found any control maps but it looks like support is built into Logic?

  • Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

    Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
    For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
    Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

    Hi Don
    I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
    I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
    I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
    Hope this helps

    Can i use Avid mbox pro with logic pro x? And also which mac would be best for using avid pro tools 11

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

    Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

  • Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac?

    Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac? I read some reviews at newegg and they are not bad , but at the apple store the reviews are not that good at all. Is this because it is not working well with Leopard as most printers don't or what?

    Verizon informs me that Windows is only needed to download and install some form of authentication and that the free wi-fi hotspot service can be used from then on from the Macintosh side. Even though it's a Windows program, I'm assured that the authorized status will be detected when the Mac laptop is used under OS X

  • Anyone using iTunes 7.2 with Volume Logic ??

    I am wondering if it is safe to use iTunes 7.2 with VL? Is the water warm?
    Cheers, S.
    PS: would rather be with iTunes 7.1 with VL than with 7.2 and no VL.

    I upgraded to 7.2 and can tell you that Volume Logic seems to be working fine.

  • Can I use a US-122MKII with Logic Pro x?

    Hi All!
    This is my first time on here so nice to meet you
    My question is: Can I use the TASCAM US-122MKII with the new Logic Pro x on an iMac?
    I've been using the TASCAM with my old Powerbook running Logic Pro 9 and it worked fine. Now however I can't get Logic Pro x to find it. I've tried scanning for it in the external interfaces section but it wasnt found. The iMac itself does find it and it appears in the system preferences sound section as an input. I've downloaded the latest software from the TASCAM website also.
    I'm not very techy so may just not know how to do it.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Hi again Bill,
    Something very strange has happened this morning. I was using Logic and thought 'I'll just plug in the TASCAM again to see if anything happens' and it just worked straight away. This is most peculiar as I didn't do or press anything to make it work. Yesterday when I was trying to get it to work, I closed the program and restarted the computer several times are making adjustmemnts but it just wasn't working at all. It seems a good night sleep has gievn it time to think things through lol.

  • Using Tascam US-224 with Lion?

    Hi all,
    I actually did figure out how to use my Tascam US-224 with Mac OS Lion from an earlier post here. One has to reboot in 32 bit mode by holding down "3" and "2" during restart.
    Fine.
    But now I am getting an annoying ringing due to my US 224 being  connected via USB to my MacBook Pro.
    Anyone else having this problem and now how to solve it?

  • Anyone using Groove Agent 2 with GB202

    GA1 in GB1 had to many problems. I couldnt manipulate the interfase. Now i only use Virtual guitarist. Im wondering if GA2 works smoothly. Im also wondering how it would work.
    Could it be used on more than one track to create fills etc..
    anyone out there using any VST/AU's at all

    When used as a VST with Cubase, GA3 can write the MIDI data directly onto an instrument track as the machine is played, skipping the "create external MIDI file/import.
    What you need to look at are the automation capabilities.
    Every parameter of the GA series can be automated. If you map the song out and "play" GA3's buttons, Logic records your "performance".
    Fills, 1/2 Time, Pattern Change...etc are all recordable via automation.
    Affer you get the song mapped out and the automation/performance finished the track can then be bounced as audio or exported as MIDI for editing.
