Issue with Tascam FW-1082 Control Surface

Anyone having issues with this connected to a mac Pro? I have one and upon turning on the unit, crashes the entire computer. If I boot with the unit connected, it'll sometimes keep OSX from doing a full boot, or if it does boot, FCP will hang on startup.
Spoke with tech support. Was only able to get it to work after disabling all network protocols, strange, but it did work. There's gotta be a better way to get this to work. Works fine on an i-mac.

Alas, the Tascam FW-1082 is never going to work with Snow Leopard because Tascam/Teac have discontinued support for it. I'd already been disappointed at reading the addendum on this page:
http://www.tascam.com/article;34,2034,3800.html
And I got the following mail reply to my inquiry to Tascam (downgrading to Leopard I would do, but I will not downgrade my Mac Pro from 12GB RAM to 4GB!):
Dear Mrs Noort,
Due to a general incompatibility with Apple's new 64-bit Audio Core engine, which cannot be resolved through an updated driver, we have decided to stop further driver development for the FW-1082.
If Final Cut Studio 3 runs on Leopard (OS 10.5..), there should be no problems in conjunction with this program.
The driver v.1.60 will work under Leopard up to a max. system RAM of 4 GB.
Best Regards,

Issues re Tascam FW-1082 & FW-1884 control surface - integration with FCP

The joint Tascam/Apple release put out in 2005 touting seamless compatibility between these two products (see below) turns out to be a gross exageration. Basic functions are conceivably compatible, but some do not work and there is a paucity of documentation available. The many buttons and controls on the Tascam's control surfaces are rendered useless. The consumer consumer has been wronged and these are not cheap products. Countless similar posts on this site backs me up on this.
I have the Tascam fw-1884, which has the same setup as the 1082. Have any of you been able to assign quick keys on the tascam using the keyboard customization tool in FCP? I've followed the example on Tascam's support site, but it does not seem to work.
Also, looking for more documentation/tutorials/consultants who can help me master all the features of the Tascam with FCP 5.
Thanks,
David
TASCAM interfaces now compatible with Apple®'s
Final Cut® Pro 5 & Soundtrack Pro
MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) onboard Final Cut Pro 5 allows the use of external audio control surfaces to edit and manipulate audio
Montebello, CA—April 16, 2005—TASCAM's full line of FireWire audio control surfaces and interfaces are now compatible with Apple®'s Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro editing software with Apple's unveiling of the Final Cut® Studio production suite that includes the Final Cut Pro® 5 upgrade.
This major upgrade to the Apple's Emmy award-winning software means that Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro are now fully compatible with MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) devices, so you can use external audio control surfaces— including TASCAM's FW-1884 or FW-1082—to edit and manipulate audio more efficiently.
TASCAM's newest audio controller, the FW-1082, has nine motorized faders for adjusting audio levels during mix playback utilizing the revamped software. Editors can turn up a dialog line or reduce the music level during a voiceover section without clicking on breakpoints. Just grab a fader and go! The transport buttons can be used to start and stop playback in any editor that supports the Mackie Control or Mackie HUI. TASCAM's FW-1082 also has a MIDI fader mode that can be used in programs like Apple Motion 2 to adjust parameters in real-time during playback. And since it's an audio interface as well, producers can record voiceover and sound effects right in the edit suite with professional results.
The FW-1082 has four mic inputs, four line ins and S/PDIF digital in and out – all available at 96kHz. It features 10 inputs, including four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power. Eight channel strips each feature a 60mm touch-sensitive moving fader and select/solo/mute buttons, and a moving master fader.
For even more I/O and surface control, the FW-1884 offers 18-channels of inputs (eight analog and eight ADAT digital and two S/PDIF coaxial or optical), eight balanced XLR mic/line inputs with high-quality mic preamps and phantom power, plus nine 100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders.
G4 dual processor 1.25mhz Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCP 5.1.1

So after writing this question I closed the laptop, leaving the Tascam on & connected. Returned 30 mins later to see if anyone had replied (where are you all??!!), opened the laptop & the Tascam suddenly springs to lift, faders move & Soft LCD app shows activity correctly.
So, all appears to be OK although I don't really know why...!!

Issue with connection SSRS reportviewer control to SSRS 2012 integrated with SharePoint 2010...

Hi,
I have a .NET application that uses SSRS ReportViewer 2012 control to render reports deployed on SSRS 2012 integrated with SharePoint 2010. I am getting error "the report execution '' has expired or not found". The same code works when I connect
to SSRS 2008 R2 integrated with SharePoint 2007. I investigated the issue and it seems the JavaScript that pings the SSRS server before it expires is missing from rendered HTML.
Let me know if there is a way to fix this issue.
following is the code:
ASPX:
<formid="form1"runat="server">
<rsweb:ReportViewerAsyncRendering="true"
KeepSessionAlive="true"ID="test"runat="server"></rsweb:ReportViewer>
<asp:scriptmanagerrunat="server"></asp:scriptmanager>
</form>
Code Behind:
if(!IsPostBack)
this.Session.Clear();
        test.Reset();
        test.ProcessingMode =
ProcessingMode.Remote;
        test.KeepSessionAlive =
true;
        test.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl =
newSystem.Uri("https://webappname/_vti_bin/reportserver/");
        test.ServerReport.ReportPath =
https://webappname/RS_Reports/REportEngineTest.rdl;
ReportServerCredentialscred =
newReportServerCredentials();
            test.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = cred;
report server credentials:
publicICredentialsNetworkCredentials
get
// Use default identity.
returnnewNetworkCredential("user",
"pwd",
"domain");

What's the meaning of webappname, are you mean the sharepoint site?
I think this issue can be caused by the incorrect url. You can refer to the following link:

Issue with event struct reading controls

Hello all.
I'm having issue reading my control clusters after triggering an event. Here is what I was trying to do:
1) I have a control with several booleans
2) A mouse up on the cluster triggers an event.
3) Although it's not pictured, I was using the event to queue up a state in the state machine that the cluster is wired through.
4) When I read these controls in the cluster, the data isn't getting through.
I then decided to try and read the values within the event structure. When I created the property node for the 'Speed' cluster, somehow it created as a variant. I don't understand this, but after converting the data, this works.
You'll also see in the picture a property node for the 'Carrier' cluster. This one does not work. Why does the variant work, yet the other one does not? The clusters and controls are exactly the same, save one less button.
So I tried to get the property node for the 'Carrier' cluster created as a variant, but can't figure out how.
I know that with an event structure, you're supposed to put the control in the event struct, but I can't do that in this case, and I'm reading a cluster with a cluster that is contained in the state machine.
I'm sure the answer is here somewhere. I did a couple searches, but didn't see an obvious solution right off.
Thanks,
Jim

I think I've caused some confusion. Originally, my event structure contained only the enqueue element telling the state machine to process the cluster. per attached picture. It was when I found that the values weren't getting passed into the state machine that I attemped to read the control from within the event structure using the property node as a workaround.
My goal would be to use the event structure to enqueue the state in which the controls would be read, as it is in the 2nd attached picture.

Snow Leopard intermittant crashing with Tascam FW-1082 interface

Since installing Snow Leopard, I can no longer use my recording interface.
If it's on, the system crashes hard at random intervals. With it off, no
crashes. I've emailed Tascam about this but haven't heard anything back
yet.
This is from Tascam's Europe site:
Support for Mac OS X 10.6. (Snow Leopard)
28.08.2009 - Though some Tascam products might function fully or partly under "Snow Leopard", Tascam is currently not supporting the new Mac OS X 10.6 operating system. As new drivers become available, they will be posted to our Product and Support pages for Tascam products on the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you haven't upgraded yet and use any Tascam products it might be a good idea to wait a while.

Reinstalled the Tascam drivers. This seemed to resolve the crashes. Still no 64bit support though.

How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
rescales. Thanks

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

MS Remote Desktop for Mac (v8.0.9 - 8.0.12): issue with "Session (ID #) remote control failed."

Hello,
I'm a SysAdmin for a small-med business in CO. We use a cluster of 3 RDS servers that are load-balanced with round-robin DNS and an RD Gateway. When I remote in from a PC, all works as expected. However, when I remote in from my MacPro (my main machine at home)
and try to remote control a user's session, I get this error:
Note the ID number is unique to the user's RDP session, so will vary each time.
This is 100% a bug in the "Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac" program; I am positive of it at this point.
Does anyone from MS actually monitor these threads at all, or am I wasting my time? Thanks...

Hi,
As this happens with him specific from MRD MAC check whether he is taking RDP with IP address or hostname. Also try to uncheck the Option "Bypass RD Gateway for local address" under RDSH configuration and verify the result.
Also for more detail he can collect log from MAC side by following path.
Microsoft Remote Desktop>About Microsoft Remote Desktop>Send log via email
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

MBP early 2007 model having issues with volume and brightness control keys (f1-f9)

My MBP, early 2007 (came with tiger 10.4 in the box) and now running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is having some weird problems with its f1-f9 keys.
For about 2 weeks now I have noticed that I cannot change the brightness and volume (especially) using these keys.
The layout of the keys on my MBP are as attached:
I tried to google the problem and tried a few diy fix-its, however nothing seems to work... and there seems to be no clear answer either. One day, during these two weeks it suddenly worked for about 2 minutes then stopped again and hasn't worked since.
Anyone experienced any similar problems? or have any idea what I can do to fix it?
As a last resort, I would eventually get a wireless keyboard to use with the MBP.

Thanks tjk, I tried that but it did not help. However over these last 2 days I noticed something more.
When I go to the keyboard setting, the 'use all f1 keys..." was off (as it was supposed to be) and then I click to turn it on and then off again and then the keys are ok and working perfectly till...
The next time I shut down and restart my computer, the key problem is back again. And again I do the same procedure above to fix it and so on...
Hmmm, it sounds like a corrupt preference.
Open Console and let's see if there's anything in there to help us.

Tascam FW-1082 Support

Is the Tascam FW-1082 control surface supported in PrP? FCP does and its much more effective using a control surface then a mouse when automating mixes.

Prepare to be shocked. Reference second post from Adobe.

Explain your profoundly negative perception of Audition. As someone who has made broadcast mixes over the last 30 years with Avid MC, Avid DS and FCP, my tutorial foray into Audition 5.5s capabilities reveal it seems quite adequate if not exemplary in some areas.

Mission Control/ Expose issue with stacked pages hard to view. Please help

Is it just me or is there a real issue with the way Mission Control/ Expose displays these stacked windows? For instance, I had about 6 finder windows open, showing 6 different folders on my Desktop. If I then use Mission Control to quickly access a particular folder, it displays all my finder windows together, stacked up on one another and this makes it almost impossible to view which particular folder i want. It doesnt have the folder names displayed so this is seriuosly time consuming now. Is this something im doing wrong, or is it a valid issue?
many thanks

If you are just trying to see all the Finder windows which are available, just invoke App expose. I use a 4 finger swipe down. If you are in finder, just swipe. If you are in another application, hover your mouse over the Finder icon in the dock and swipe. All the windows are easy to see.
(You can, of course, do this with any application, not just the Finder.)

Recording Control Surface automation to a channel strip

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have a Novation Remote 25 SL which its perfectly connected with Logic as a Control Surface.
What I want is to record live all the moments i do with Mixer in Logic using Remote Sl as a Control Surface while my track is playing. I want to record it to one channel strip or somewhere were i can edit them later. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

Read the automation section in the manual.
Basically - switch all channels you wish to automate into Latch mode to write automation. Put them back to read mode to avoid overwriting. Logic has full automation editing.

Having issues with playback and capture with canon's hdv XLH1

We have the sony hdv deck for capture, but we recently got the canon hdv xlh1.
When we try to capture or playback on the sony deck using a tape with canon footage, it stutters and drops frames, anyone else having issues with this? Deck control is non existant when we hook up the canon to the system.

Well... yes and no... Canon's 60i will play thru the sony machine, and it will play from the camera on thru FCP, but without deck control. Everything else the canon shoots aka HDV (30p and 24p), the Sony deck will not play correctly at all. We just happened to have the Canon rep at our FCP user's group tonight, and this is what he reported. ALSO he said that FCP will be supporting this new format shortly... (whatever that means... LOL...) The camera itself is not currently supported by FCP.
It does have an interesting feature though. If you have a Kona 2 card and an audio card, you can capture from the camera true HD in 4:2:2 color space. It has an SDI HD output.. but doesn't carry the audio with it. Course this isn't a "cheap" workaround for now because you'd also need an extremely fast disk array to capture the HD. and an audio card, and an HD video capture card... yikes. That Panny P2 camera lookin pretty good right now eh?

Logic 9 with Roland VS100 Control surface Issue.

Hey guys, Ive got a Roland VS100 to use with Logic 9 here.
The VS is setup directly according to instructions as well as Logic.
The issue is when I push play on the VS 100, Logic stays in the first second and just stutters, the transport will NOT move down the timeline.
Ive checked all the syn setting in Logic and mad sure the VS 100 was set to " other" for Control Surfaces which it uses Mackie Contorl Universal.
Any ideas? Sonar forum is no help. Loop is OFF before anyone asks

I was fortunate and only have to do it once. I did this over a year ago, but from what I remmber I updated the operating system on the VS100 first, then the drivers for my mac.
I use an AKAI MPK25 for midi. I directly connect it into the mac using one of the USB ports. No issues and works great with Logic.
I never tried to connect a midi keyboard directly to the VS100, but I know you can probably try using Midi in/Midi out capabilities, but I dont understand the reason why.. are you going to use the BK5 to trigger functions from the VS100?

How do I make a Tascam FW-1082 "work" with Logic Pro?

I just purchased logic pro and a tascam FW-1082. im trying to get them to work together, but i dont really know where to start. I ran the tascam driver, and did some configuring in logic, but it doesnt seem like they are working together seamlessly. my previous workflow involved a digi 002 with pro tools, and id like to configure logic and the tascam and logic to work like that. so, what do i do?
1.5 G4 12" powerbook/ single 1.8 g5 powermac Mac OS X (10.4.4) logic Pro, tascam FW-1082

It emulates a Mackie Control which Logic supports. Open the Control Surfaces setup/install window, make sure MIDI ins and outs are both connected, turn on the unit and it should appear a in couple of seconds. If it doesn't, manually install it. It's reasonably clear and the 1082 is even listed in the install window. You shouldn't have much trouble.
