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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Having problems connecting Tascam FW-1082 DAW to Audition CC

    Having a hard time connecting my Tascam FW-1082 hardware/recording interface to Audition CC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I know this hardware had no problems hooking up to previous versions of Audition (3.0.1 I believe).

    So I open the session I was recording earlier in Adobe Audition CC 2014 which was recorded with my Tascam hardware (after having to restart Audiction, shut off the mixer, turn it back on and reload Audition NUMEROUS times!)....and while mixing the session in my headphones with the windows WASAP sound settings, Audition straight crashed my computer and restarted it.  After the restart, my monitor showed the below picture.  I had to manually power of my computer and unplug it for 10 seconds then start it again.
    Come on Adobe, get it together!!  Premiere has also crashed my computer 4 times already as well.  NO OTHER PROGRAMS on my computer crash my system!!!!
    Getting extremely irritated here!!

    Turn your Firewire device off or shutdown and remove it. Then once in Windows go back to device manager. Double  click on the VIA 1394 device. Select the driver tab. Select update driver and then Browse my computer for driver software. Then select let me pick from the list of device drivers. select the OHCI Legacy driver and then hit next. Finish the wizard and then restart the system. Turn the Firewire device on or shot down and connect it. Then try the Audition again with the Tascam and asio driver. If that doesn't work, uninstall the Tascam driver and make sure you download the latest from their website. Then install the Tascam driver again. Restart and check the results.

  • Tascam FW-1082 & Logic Pro X

    Hello
    In technical specifications Apple wrote about support the tascam. How can this? If tascam doesn't work on OS X 10.7 and Logic Pro X works in OS X 10.8.4 or later and don't have a 32 bit support.
    In the Tascam support drivers only to Mac Os 10.6.8 32 bit

    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.

  • 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...!!

  • 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.

    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)

  • Tascam FW-1028 & Logic Pro X?

    Logic Pro X tech specs states the the Tascam FW-1082 is a compatilble DAW controller.  However, AFAIK there is no 64 bit driver for this product & Tascam haven't updated the driver for a while...
    Can anyone confirm that the Tascam FW-1082 does indeed work with Logic Pro X?
    Thanks

    No, wait, unless I'm misunderstanding, I don't believe it can work this way. The whole issue is that Tascam has not provided a 64 bit driver for OsX, the last driver they (actually it was Frontier) wrote was a 32 bit driver for Snow Leopard. The machine that you physically hook the Tascam up to MUST have a working hardware driver for the device. It can't directly connect through a virtual driver, because there has to be a connection to the low level hardware layer FIRST. I mean how can it even see the Tascam if the Firewire isn't talking to it? THEN you can bridge or virtualize it or redirect it however you want. So unless your MacBook Pro is running an older 32 bit version of OsX, like Snow Leopard, I don't think it can work.
    In my case I can use Windows 7 (64 bit, Tascam DOES provide a 64 bit Windows driver), or my old PPC running 10.5. Or I could use my old XP machine I used to run Cubase on. If you have a funky old mac, or an old PC running 32 or 64 bit XP or Vista, or any version of Windows 7, it can be your bridge. Scrounge around for an old machine. The nice thing about an old mac is that the network MIDI stuff is more integrated than the (third party) rtp.MIDI on Windows, Bonjour is built-in, etc. On Windows you need to download and install rtp.MIDI and (preferably) install Apple's Bonjour (it comes with Apple's printer support), without which you have to manually enter the IP addresses.
    The hardest thing about these setups is when you change anything, because the whole Bonjour approach makes it reconfigure itself to make it easier, and instead it gets everything confused. Because I use both Cubendo and Logic, I use my iPhone and my iPad and my Kindle Fire and my Android Note 3 mapped as control surfaces into both my PC and into my Hackintosh, I don't always have all of them on hand, my wife steals them, so I have to switch, and it's always getting VERY confused. I go to use the iPad on Logic and find it's talking to the dog instead, I move the faders and the dog's ears start flopping up and down ... almost that bad.
    The best way would be to use an old machine and hard wire it to your Logic mac with ethernet, not WiFi, plug the Tascam into it, configure it with just one Network MIDI port, define the Live Link, and let it be. Maybe even dedicate an old machine to bridging your Tascam. If you use a wireless device too, add it after the Tascam is rock-solid, and don't change anything after that. Don't let your wife stael your devices. Good luck.

  • No Mackie Controller Support??? Seriously???

    I have been a loyal Audition user since version 1.5 when I opened my studio 7 years ago. Before that, I worked with Cool Edit Pro. I purchased CS5.5 today only to find out you've done away with external controller support. I cannot tell you how much this angers me! I use my controller every day. What the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks were you guys smokin' when you decided, "Oh, they don't need that old controller, we'll just rip that out. Oh, and they won't need to group clips anymore, either." Huh???
    That is arrogance and a lack of respect for us loyal customers who helped make Audition as successful as it has been.
    I just put in for a refund and I'll be going back to v3 until I find something else that I like or until the Audition designers get their act together. Someone needs to lose a job over this.

    Between Adobe's crappy customer service center (that know virtually NOTHING about Audition, since they are probably not audio types, this doesn't surprise me) and the cajones for them wanting to charge me $39 to resolve an issue after I just purchased an upgrade for both Mac and Windows is absolute insanity.  Add to the fact that there is no controller support for my Tascam FW-1082 like they had with AA 3.0, and I am just plain outright disgusted.  It only proves to me that this new version of Audition was not put together by radio/tv/film production people.  It was put together by techies that know their way around an Apple or PC enough to create something that looks good, but is USELESS for anyone in the industry.  I suggest, in my humble opinion, that you get some PROS on your phone/customer service line who known your product in, out, backwards, and forwards.   I also suggest putting people in the labs to develop this software that are actually in the industry, and KNOW what's needed in a piece of software.  Just sayin.....

  • FW-1082 Firewire synch

    I have a tascam FW-1082 which I have been trying to get to work with FCP5. I set it all up according to the instructions and it will work for a few minutes. I can use it both as an audio imput for voice over or other sources and to record pans and fades in my mix. However, after a few minutes, FCP loses contact with the board and wont play. (The little firewire light on the board goes out) I can turn the unit off wait a few seconds then turn it on again. FCP will recognize the board and work for a few more minutes until it loses connection again. I have brought the unit back to Tascam twice and they can't find anything wrong with it. Has anyone else had this experience? I love using the 1082 for mixing and voice over. It's theoretically a huge timesaver but right now it's killing me.
    Thanks.
    G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I have the same unit, and have never had that problem. But, I have had it be a little testy with other firewire things (drives, decks, etc..) Try either removing any other FW devices, or getting a second FW bus. Also, and I doubt this is related, but, my FW1082 hates soundtrack pro. It quits, crashes, (it's getting better) but...
    If you're using STP try keeping it off for a while. My best guess is the FW thing though.

  • Which control surface do you use, would like to use or have used for audio?

    I am shopping control surfaces for mixing audio in Premiere Pro CC. I am buying used so I would sure like to get it right the first time. I am looking for feedback from those who have used a control surface as well as those who have just looked around. I have searched high and low for information from Premiere Pro users but have found very little. Even the Audition folks have not shared much information about experiences with audio control surfaces.
    Here are some consoles I've looked at but cannot determine compatibility (due to lack of information):
    Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
    Digidesign Command 8
    Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
    M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
    Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
    Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
    Radikal Technologies SAC 2.2 DAW controller
    Avid Artist Mix Control 8 Fader Euphonix DAW Mixing Control Surface
    Tascam FW-1884 Firewire Control Surface
    Tascam FW-1082 Firewire Control Surface
    CM Labs Motormix
    CM Labs Motormix 2
    CM Labs MotorMate
    Novation ZeRO SL MkII MIDI DAW Control Surface
    Nektar Panorama P1 USB Midi DAW Control Surface
    Alesis Master Control
    If you have experience with any of these consoles, or have any to add to the list, specifically with Premiere Pro, please leave a note here. I believe there will be others who will check this discussion looking for the same answers as I. Documentation of these control surfaces is very thin when it coms to discovering if they are MCU or EUCON protocol (or other) - and even if I was able to discern a flavor I still do not know which features will work in Premiere, such as transport controls, faders, plug-in modifiers, et al.
    So I guess my goal here is to come up with a list of work/don't work features for each of these control surfaces and more so we can make informed bang for the buck decisions. My budget for a used control surface is $300-400, but I'd be willing to go to $500-600 or more if the features/integration were significantly better.
    Thanks!

    Here is the list with the responses I have received from the manufacturers, (3) so far.
    Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
    The MCU Pro uses three different types of MIDI operating protocols (Mackie Control, HUI, and Logic Control). We have not tested the MCU Pro here in Tech Support with Premiere Pro. You will want to contact Adobe directly to see if they support the Mackie Control, HUI or Logic Control protocols with the Premiere Pro software. It is up to the manufacture of the software on how well these MIDI operating protocols are implemented into the software.  With contacting Adobe directly you will be able to see what control surfaces are supported with their software.
    Digidesign Command 8
    Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
    M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
    The Project Mix I/O is a discontinued product.  However, it should work properly with basically any DAW program.  I can't speak to specifically Premiere Pro, but we have a few customers who use that combination and those customers report it works just fine.
    Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
    Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
    Thank you for your email! Yes, you are able to use the BCF2000 to control Adobe Pro CC. YOu will need to program the controller into Mackie Emulation mode. Mackie Emulation will allow full functionality within your software. Attached you will find a PDF showing each emulation mode. Here are a few informative links explaining setup and application:
