Help with Tascam US-122 and recording in GB

Hello,
Frustrated as usual with hooking stuff up/installing properly (as far as I know) and not being able to get it to work. I have a condenser mic with its own power supply hooked up to a Tascam US-122 and going into my Powerbook G4. When I try to record into GB, I get NO audio signal levels even though I get the signal light flashing on the US-122. Recording using the built-in audio works fine but when I switch the input to the Tascam, NOTHING!!!
Help?
Rob

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

    Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer.  Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem.  Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct.  Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off.  Would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sincerely appreciate your help.  Running Windows 7 on a  Dell XPS420.  System has been very stable for years.  Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems.  The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints. 
    Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
    Will let you know how things go.

  • New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

    new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

    See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

  • Need help with Garage Band 11 and my TASCAM interface recording Real Instrument

    I am using a TASCAM US-122 interface with garage band 11 on a mac at 32 bit running osx 10.6.6.  Garage Band preferences / audio input and output set to TASCAM (which means it recognizes it) , but when using Real Instrument for the TASCAM and the track is armed , etc... the record function works when started except "no sound" from the device I am running thru TASCAM is being detected.
      I am getting sound out of the TASCAM and simply running an AKAI mpc beat as a test.  I am sure there is something simple I have yet to do but not sure what it is in Garage Band. 
      Can you help ?   Thanks. GARY

    with the real instrument track selected...
    make sure the info pane is showing on the right (click the little "i" on the bottom right to open it; "Real Instrument" should be highlighted in blue on top).
    On the bottom of the info pane it says "Input Source" and "Monitor."
    Make sure the Input Source is set to the Tascam channel you're using (the channel, mono or stereo, that you've plugged your MPC into).
    And if you want to hear it as you record, make sure the Monitor is set to ON.

  • Logic Express 9 running with Tascam US-122 - possible?

    Hello,
    I've been scouring support forums and the Logic user manual all day and unfortunately cannot seem to find an answer to this:
    Is it at all possible to run Logic Express 9 with the Tascam US-122?
    I've just converted from PC to Mac in the last couple of weeks: all of my software and drivers are all up-to-date so that should not be an issue. Obviously that means that I've previously been using my Tascam with Cubase on the PC, and I was really hoping it would cope with Logic too. The problem is that Logic does recognize the Tascam but when it comes to recording, I can't get it to work. Apparently it's something to do with the sample rate?
    Please help - if it can be avoided, I don't want to have to buy another device. Any advice or answers would be very much appreciated!
    Thank you.

    It sounds like you have the same setup as us.
    I (oops, wife) has a brand new iMac, a Tascam US-122L and a Yamaha KX8 controller. She started with GarageBand, then bought Logic Express 9 and just yesterday we ordered the upgrade to Logic Studio.
    Like any new computer setup of course nothing worked right away.
    She plugs her guitar into the Tascam but it didn't work until we changed to Input 2 in Logic (or was it GarageBand, sorry I am getting them confused).
    Anyway, my point is that you should not need any more hardware to make it work. We have yet to plug a mike into the Tascam...that will be the fun for the weekend....lol
    Good luck,
    Paul

  • 'Invisible' latency problem with Tascam US-122 mkii audio interface

    Firstly, thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer, secondly I'm very new to Logic and troubleshooting DAWs, and thirdly this sort of thing is really difficult to describe. So, here goes:
    I'm using a late 2007 macbook with a 2.2Ghz intel core 2 duo and 2GB ram with Logic Pro 9. My audio interface is a Tascam US-122 mkii.
    The reported latency I should be experiencing is far less than what I can hear. That is, if I record a part through the Tascam, through guitar line in or by a microphone, when I then go to playback the track the recorded track is VERY misaligned with the rest of the song. It's usually by about a third of second- I can match them up with a mouse drag but that's only for very simple parts, e.g 1/4 notes or something. Logic isn't compensating for any latency between the interface and Logic. Is there any way to fix this? I suspect this might be something to do with the drivers for the Tascam, rather than Logic....or is it that the mac's spec is too low? If I got another audio interface, such as the Apogee One, would that be more 'plug and play' in giving me less issues with simply trying to get a recorded part appear where it should do? I've tried experimenting with the drivers (I'm currently using the one recommended by tascam) and by changing the I/O buffer size.
    One other weird problem is that if I set the output and input in logic for the Tascam, I end up with really bad CPU spikes. Practically a full bar. But if I set it to the input only from the tascam, and use the default output with logic, no CPU spikes. The latency/alignment problem is basically unaffected by this.
    Here's an excerpt from an email I sent to Tascam support, which sets the problem out in a slightly different way.
    "In logic, when I have both the output and the input through tascam, obviously the recommended setting, it doesn't say there is much latency but there are all sorts of CPU spikes. Even though it says there isn't too much latency (i think about 15ms, which is more than i'd prefer), there is a large delay when playing back a recorded track. Basically, the tracks are misaligned about by a third of a second.  On top of this, and I don't know if this indicates anything, but when I use the tascam as both input and output I can't access the lower I/O buffer settings in logic, i.e 32 or 64, as there's a lot of white noise. I was under the impression using lower I/O buffer settings might help, but....
    When I set the output to the default device (macbook sound output) and take my input from the tascam, there's still a large delay. Logic reports the latency as being lower than before by about 6 ms, but upon playing back a recorded sound there really isn't any difference- we're still looking at about a third to half a second misalignment between the tracks.  However, strangely, with the default output and tascam as input, the macbook can happily get down to an I/O buffer size of 32 in logic while using low latency mode, but as I say this hasn't helped the problem at all.
    So, despite getting lowish reported latency, I'm getting a MASSIVE delay between a track I've recorded and where it should be, that is, about 1/3 to half a second later. "
    Anyway, thanks again to anyone who has any suggestions. I've tried as much as I can think of and have had a good look in the manual and a look around these forums, but since I can't really figure out what the problem exactly is it's proving hard- so apologies if it's something really obvious.
    Thanks to anyone who helps, I know it might not be very interesting since Logic 10 just came out......
    Mike

    Actually, at long last and thinking about it differently, I've sort of sorted out my own problem- the 'delay' or 'invisible latency' was caused by using the tascam as input and the macbook as output. But I'm still getting massive CPU spikes and can see a lot of crashes incoming....is that because of a poor driver, or because of a poor macbook? Would something like the apogee one be less of a CPU hog?

  • Garageband not working with tascam us-122

    hi,
    i try to use my tascam us-122 on my macbook pro (intel) with the latest tascam driver 3.4.0 (universal binary released in april 2006) with garageband
    but even a simple playback of a simple song only works for lets say five seconds, than its game over
    neither apple or tascam responds to my e-mails en the support desk of apple in holland has not got a clue
    anyone who can help me, what should i do next?

    Hi Perry Winkel,
    I just got the US-122L today and my imac a couple of weeks ago. Im trying to record my keyboard (Korg TR) into garageband. Im am extremely new to this but I have tried everything that the manuals are telling me but when I try to record a 'real instrument' and turn my moniter to 'on' - all I hear is this weird sound, similar to the screaching of a microphone.
    1) I installed all the software from my keyboard and from the US-122L
    2) I have a MIDI chord going from the 'out' on my keyboard to the 'in' on my US-122L.
    3) My USB cable is connected to the back of my IMAC - not on the keyboard.
    4) I went into applications/utilities/audio midi setup and I switched my 'default input' and my 'properties' to the US-122L. Im not sure if I was supposed to do that but I have been on this for over 5 hours now and I am trying anything.
    Can you help me?!
    Can ANYONE help me?!?!

  • I'm stupid! help with audio in port and fender telecaster

    hi there!
    I'm new to garageband.
    i would like to record my fender telecaster electric guitar right from the audio input on my g4 powerbook.
    i heard that it can be done with out buying usb input recording devices. (also no i have limited $$$. 2 little kids)
    can i just plug the 1/4 plug right into the audio in port?
    i know if i go through my Marshall Amp directly in to the audio in port, i'll fry my sound card.
    Can this be done without usb devices?

    Well, at least you got a Fender
    No, I am afraid you are gonna need a pre amp of some sort to record your guitar. The G5 iMac has some kind of built in pre amp, but that is the only one we have heard about. If you Marshall has a line out, you can use that, but NOT the speaker out! If you like the way your Marshall sounds, and I assume it is a master volume model, then you should just mic it at whatever volume you can get away with playing where you record. Use something like a Shure SM57 and get yourself a decent audio interface. My guess is that if you have a Tele and a Marshall, once you get started, you'll never want to stop, so just get what you need and be done with it
    Some other things to consider is that your hard drive on the PB is a slow drive. To get lots a tracks flowing, you are going to do a lot better with an external firewire drive (7200 RPM) just for your music.
    You can get a decent USB device such as I have, the Tascam US-122, or if you can, spend the extra cash and a get a firewire interface such as the Presonus Firebox. I get along fine so far with my US-122 at about half the price of the firewire. I don't record my guitar direct and use the built in amp sims, though. I find them not as good as I can get micing my amps. And lately, I started using the Vox ToneLab for silent recording. I just leave it connected all the time, and when I want to record, I just turn it on, and plug in and start recording.
    There is some thing called a Guitar Plug or something like that, that claims to allow you to record without a pre amp, but I really don't see how it can boost the signal to line level without a pre amp. Plus, with your slow drive, and using the amp sims, you are gonna bog down pretty quick, I'd think. The amp sims along with the effects presets for the basic guitar sounds are pretty CPU intense. Your best bet for good clean recording, is to get a mic, an interface, and mic that amp!
    And do check out HangTime's FAQ page. That can save you a lot of frustration.

  • Logic express 7.2.1 with Tascam US-122 issue

    Im running Mac OS X 10.4.7 on a Powerbook 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4 with 512 in RAM. My software is Logic Express 7.2.1.
    I've installed the latest drivers to my USB external audio device Tascam US-122: 3.4.0 found on Tascam's website.
    Here is the problem: I need to use sample rates (I/O buffer size) 512 or 1024 otherwise it starts to "crackle" and telling "system overload". With my new latop it should run on 64 or even 32.
    - Any help what the problem is?
    I have tried both re-installing logic express and us-122 drivers.

    Hi Niili,
    I have the same problem with a digi drivers too,
    I didn't have a clue on how to to deal with iet,
    you wanna laght?
    When I use Protools Le, I can have lower buffers without problem,
    not with logic!
    It problably have to do with the drivers.
    I'll get back to you, if I have better news.
    I'll hope the you do the same if you discover a turn around it.
    Or any mates out here!
    :o)

  • Frozen Clock, loss of sound with Tascam US-122

    I have been using my Tascam US-122 soundcard with my 1.25 gHz 15' Aluminum PowerBook with no problems for about the past year. I have it hooked up to the USB port on the right side of my computer, and it derives its power via USB (it is a USB 1.1 device). Suddenly, starting about a month ago (or so), I have noticed that the clock on the toolbar has been freezing sporadically, at which time I lose sound through the sound card. The SPD also appears when I move the cursor over the clock. After some investigation, I found that the clock returns to normal when I unplug the US-122 and the SPD disappears. But when I plug the US-122 back in, I get nothing (no power even). At this time, if I plug the US-122 into the other USB port, it works fine. In addittion, even when the US-122 won't work on the right port after being unplugged, I can plug in another USB device that will work just fine in that port. If I restart the computer, the US-122 will work again, but eventually the problem reoccurs. The problem seems to happen more often when the computer has been in sleep mode, but it is not consistently so.
    I don't know if this problem has something to do with updates to OSX or with the US-122 or with the right USB port, which is also the USB 2.0 port. Is anybody else having similar problems? Can anybody help?
    Thanks,
    Will.

    It turns out that I was wrong about one thing, once the USB port on the right side of my computer stops working for the US-122, it seems to shut down until I restart the computer. I thought that it worked after the US-122 went down and was unplugged because another device will receive power from the port when plugged in. It turns out that although the new device will power up, it won't be recognized by the computer. I appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks.
    ---Will.

  • Re: Help with Nomad Jukebox 3 and Creative Softw

    Okay I need help with the following...(bare with me!)
    First, I have a Nomad Jukebox 3. I record shows with it at concerts that allow me to record via the optical input. I currently use Creative Media Source but I don't have the pluggins to "Burn CD". I am wondering how I can go about getting these?
    Currently I can not burn these "line recordings" onto CD, and when I right click on the line recording in the Creative Media Source to find the file name there is no Properties icon that I can go to, to see the file name so I can just do a search in my computer to pull these up in my current CD burning software.
    Also, "the line recording" is one big file. What program/software do I use to splice up the individual tracks so that it won't be one long "line recording"?
    Now when I bring my music from CD or my computer to my Nomad, I've been using Creative Play Center. Do I have to use this all the time or can I use Creative Media Source? I'd rather use one or the other and not have both to deal with... I don't see any icon of my Nomad Jukebox 3 on the Media Source but there is one on the Creative Play Center.
    Okay now one more thing just to inform you that from my Creative Play Center I am converting a concert that I downloaded and it's currently in wav format. I am converting it to MP3. Now when I do that in the Play Center window it now shows me the wav and MP3 format for each individual song. That's cool that it doesn't completely erase the wav format, however when I want to download each song in MP3 format I have to go to each individual MP3 which is fine but everytime the Transfer Options Box opens which asks me the Title, Artist and Genre each time.
    Is there a way that I can just fill out the information once, so I don't have to do that for each MP3?
    Thank you for helping me understand the Creative software and helping me know what I can and can't do!

    I found the CD burning module for MediaSource hidden in the download for the Audigy soundcards, at least in the European downloads area. Take a look and if you can't find I'll have another look for it.
    To edit the file you need a WAV editor. I'm guessing Creative might bundle something with their soundcards, or you can look on the Internet and take your pick from the cheap to the mega expensi've. Audacity might do it, and it's free http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ so worth checking.
    MediaSource is the replacement for PlayCentre, but I think it just comes down to which you prefer (but they are very very similar). Note that you have to download the Nomad pack for MediaSource to get it to work with MediaSource.
    When you transfer your converted MP3 to the player it's asking you for tag data, which is vital for the Music Library on the player. You can of course edit this tag information either in MediaSource direct, or probably more optimally in a dedicated tagging program. A list of favourites are here http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...Jukebox+Zen#00

  • Help with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha 01X please!

    My friend has purchased an 01X, a 20" G5 iMac with 1.5GB RAM and Logic Pro 7. He is not the 'techiest' of people so was rather hesitant about going this route for his recording purposes. Having used a Yamaha AW4416 to successfully record an album, he figured that the 01X with Logic would be the next step up the ladder of useability & functionality.
    Unfortunately, he is having a great deal of difficulty in getting the 01X to talk to Logic. He purchased and installed the Logic 7.1 update in the hope that things would start to work. Unfortunately, that hasn't helped either. All the 01X is able to do is start and stop the 'play head' in Logic. None of its other functions are having any effect. He is also having problems with mLan.
    So, before he throws the whole lot out as a bad idea can anybody provide any success stories with Logic and the 01X. I am hoping to visit him this weekend to see if I can help. However, whilst I know a whole lot about Macs, I have no experience with the 01X or Logic (I used Cubase VST in the past on a few projects). Any help or pointers in troubleshooting this would be very gratefully received.
    Lol

    i've been looking into getting the 01X and been doing some reading. i have no experience with it but i'm interested in hearing more about how you get on. i did find that www.o1xray.com has a forum full of information about setting up logic and the 01X. ElmerJFud seems to be the main dude, his post has a lot of setup information: http://www.01xray.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=7&Board=01X_Macintosh&Number=19978 0&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

    Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
    "Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."
