Recording level problems with Tascam US-144MKII

I have used my Tascam US-144MKII to record with Garageband multiple times, but now the recording slider is completely greyed out. I'm getting signal, but no recorded sound...anyone know how to fix this??? I've been searching everything...

You're right. It wasn't recommended. I should've said it is supported.

Problem with TASCAM website

It is related to FCP. I am using the FW1084 with FCS2. I have some problems with keeping video en audio in sync.
So I looked at the website of tascam and saw the was a new drive fro OS 10.4.10 But I can download it. It direct me to the home page of Tascam.
Even under Windows.
Does anyone out there have this driver?
The link is

Hello,
I am back from a holiday and some training.
I treid several things and put my question also in the MXO support group but no aswer yet.
Here is my question/problems And mebay I could ask (trillcat editorial) in a privat email (I tried to click on email but it ask for your email adres.)
y setup is 2 x 23" Apple Cinema MacPro 3 GHz 4 GB Tascam FW 1082 audio/control interface
MXO Software 2.0.0.21 Firmw 20 Serial # TAA4239
I am working with Standaard DV PAL Amamorphic and HDV (1440)1920 1080I FCS 2 (FCP 6.0.1)
OS 10.4.10 (quicktime 7.1.6)
1e Q
Is it normal to set every time the View/Video Playback? It get me ....
Always Command F12 2 times (even when used Option F12)
2e Q
I always must use 2 x Command F12 to get a normal picture on the MXO and Canvas (The video in the Canvas is jumping on the same frame)
3e Q
I just can't get my Audio in sync in Final Cut Pro. (in DVDSP or DVD player it is OK Also output through the Tascam.
Connected accourding to the manual. I have the Audio out from the MacPro in the white jack of the MXO cable and the output to chanel 7 and 8 on my Tascam FW 1082
With no FCP(example iTunes) and in the Preference I set the Audio to Build in Audio Out (which is connected to the MXO audio) it is working but NOT within Final Cut Pro
There is also no Audio when not using the FW 1082 within FCP, only (amplified) speakers are conected to the MXO audio.
Double checked conectors the are OK (offcourse there is audio when not using FCP)
Also tried with easy setuo MXO Pal Anamorhic
Hope to get my MXO work Ok

Additional record time problem with series

I cannot record a particular show appearing on a local PBS station beyond the time the show is on. The show is EastEnders & it comes on every Sunday night. There are 2 different episodes, one starts at 11pm & ends at 11:30, the 2nd show starts at 11:30 PM & ends at midnight. There are no episode titles, It appears simply as EastEnders for both time slots in the program guide
When I set up the series recording on my FiOS DVR, I set it to record a specified length of time after the show ends, so I don't miss any of it in case the show runs long. The problem is that although I have set it up correctly, the DVR will not record for any length of time after the 2nd show ends. I have tried setting it to record 15, 30, 60 & 90 minutes after the show ends & it always stops recording just at the point the 2nd show ends. I know it is not the actual DVR at fault as I tried this on both of my DVRs & the same thing happened. Also, this is the only show that I have a problem with. Other shows that I have set up to record longer, do so without a problem.
I have spoken to FiOS tech support several times about this issue & can't resolve it. They said they get calls from customers with issues like mine from time to time, but don't know what the problem is.
Could this have something to do with the way the PBS station communicates it's program guide to Verizon? If so, what exactly is the issue? Is there a fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try making a manual recording. You can specify the start time, end time, and recurrence on a specified day of the week. That should eliminate any issues the guide may be causing. You can't attach the show's name so it will show up in your list of recordings as a manual recording.

Black level problem with H.264 (Windows)

I have a Windows 7 64, latest version of apps. I have a reproducible problem with sending AE comps to AME - the black levels get shifted from 0 to 254 to 16-235. Only a problem with H.264 specific preset. If I chose QuickTime and H.264 there, works fine. I have Main Concept H.264 encoder to available to me in Sony Vegas, it also works fine.
Can't seem to find any info on this.

thanks David.

just to recap--they become black about 1-2 secs

Focusrite/GBand 'Recording Level' problem.

I recently bought a Focusrite iTrack Solo interface (using with a MacBook Pro) and having downloaded the latest versions of OSX (10.8.5.) and GBand '11, Version 6.0.5 (428.5), still find that I can't record to GBand.
GBand recognises the iTrack in both Input and Output ... I can't adjust the 'Recording Level' slider.
Following the instructions from a link provided in another answer on here (can't remember your name mate ... sorry!) I've gone into 'Audio Midi Setup' and ensured that the rate is set to 44100 (2ch-24bit Integer ?) but found that I was unable to adjust any of the Volume control sliders in the panel below.
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Waveform Problem and Input Level problem with Onyx 1620

I was reading an earlier post and saw that someone was having trouble with the gray boxes for the loops as compared with GB. I am also having that problem, but with my actual recordings. Is there a way to show the waveform instead of the gray box on the main screen?
Also i've had another problem with my Onyx 160 firewire mixer. It seems that i have to turn the trim at least 3/4s or higher to get just a small read in Logic Express. I have the input on the computer turned all the way up and it still hasn't changed anything. I also used the main gain on the firewire card and turned it all the way up, but still no change. Does anyone have any experience using the Onyx with Logic? Could you give me some tips?

Hey Matt,
welcome to the forum!
Well it seems that you've seen the question but not the answer. :o)
Import the audio from the audio menu>import audio file, instead of the import from the file menu.
About the Onyx, I don't have a clue.

Jorge

'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?

Playback Problem with Tascam Interface

Hello,
I am new to Logic, and I seem to be having a playback problem. After a quick search, I realize this question is asked a lot, but I have yet to find a solution that has worked. I am using a Tascam US-144 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI interface with Logic Pro 8. Logic is recognizing the interface, allows me to record, and even displays the wave forms that my microphone picks up. However, I cannot monitor while I am recording or play the recording back after saving it. I've attempted to do this with the built-in iMac speakers and headphones. I've tried various output combinations, read the manual front to back, but have yet to find a valid solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In the About Logic window it says it's version 8.0.0. I checked Preferences->Audio->Devices->Core Audio. The"Enabled" box is selected, and the US-144 is selected as the device. There doesn't seem to be a tab in that window to select an output. On the bottom left of the screen under "I/O" I have Input 1 selected as the input and Out 1-2 selected as the output. Do I need to select a different output in that tab, or do I need to change it elsewhere?

Archive Purchase Info Record MM_EINA : problem with CDHDR

Hello,
I have notice that when i archive an Info Record, Only CDPOS is deleted and not CDHDR.
In the customizing, Object Class CHANGEDOCU is set.
Can someone explain why datas in CDHDR are not deleted ?
Thank you,
Cipriano

Yes, I agree with Jurgen. You should open a message with SAP. As, the CDHDR records should be archived along with the CDPOS records. That is how it works when I archive purchase info records with MM_EINA.

Isolation Level problems with DDConverter , wl4.51 (EJB spec 1.0) to wl5.1 (EJB spec 1.1)

Hi ,
I was using the DDConvertor supplied with WL51 to convert my old
DeploymentDescriptor.txt to the new XML format.
I have noticed that the Isolation Level did not pass to the new format.
My entity bean is not container managed and the Isolation level is
READ_COMMITED .
No weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml File was generated.
Attached are the files.
Could you please tell me where can I specify the Isolation Level if I have
no rdbms file ?
thanks

Recording Delay Problems with Scarlett 8i6

When recording through a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, everything sounds normal but on playback, the recorded audio lags behind by about a half beat.
Focusrite says it's an Apple problem. Apple says it's a Focusrite problem and offer nothing beyond that.
After several reboots and disconnecting/reconnecting the interface, the problem seems to have self-corrected but my confidence is not high.
Is there a more concrete and permanent fix for this issue?
Thanks

OK, maybe this is something... I shut everything down last night, then started it all up again later.
The delay came back... and it's a pretty major delay. Tried again this morning and I still have the same problem.
So, I tried disconnecting the 8i6, started Logic but did not open a project. Then I plugged in the Scarlett and opened a project. Tried a loopback recording and it looks OK. I'll need to try it a few more times to see if it's repeatable but, even if it is, it seems like something is pretty sloppy about all of this. More as it develops

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.

Allow Tool Recording Action Problem with Pen Tool -PS6 beta

Hi,
I’m trying to create an action that will erase a shape layer box that I am using for a registration point.
I have “allow tool recording” on
I select the shape layer in the layer palette
Use the direct selection tool to marquee the box on the shape layer I want to erase
Use the pen tool to delete each anchor point
I do erase the box but when I play back the recorded action,
It will marquee and select the 4 box anchor points and even though the action dialog box says
“Use delete anchor point”
nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The path selection tool selects the entire shape layer and won't delete it, I only want to select and delete a small portion of the shape layer. Thanks for trying.

Tascam US-144mkII Causing Problems in Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1

Just got a Tascam US-144mkII, as recommended by the Apple site, to use with Soundtrack Pro 3. So far, though, it's causing a problem - while I can hear audio that I'm playing and I can monitor that sound through the Tascam, the cursor won't move when I record and if I try to play any loops, I get an error - a CNSExceptionWrarpper?. If I unplug the Tascam, everything works fine.
I'm using the latest driver - 2.0.
Any suggestions on how I can get this thing working would be greatly appreciated...

You're right. It wasn't recommended. I should've said it is supported.

Tascam Us-144mkII MIDI problem...

I am trying to use a Tascam US-144mkII with Garageband. I am getting no MIDI in Garageband.
- The keyboard is sending MIDI to the Tascam, I see lights.
- The Tascam is powered, I see the USB light
- I can use a microphone to record in Garageband.
The problem is that the MIDI isn't working and when I look in GarageBand preferences it says "MIDI Status: 0 input(s) detected"
Any ideas?

You're right. It wasn't recommended. I should've said it is supported.
