Tascam Us-122, works only in classic Options

[beltunabob]

I've been following this forum on and off trying to find what fit my budget etc. Today I got a ride to a music store (I have poor vision) and bought the tascam usb unit. I was just going to get a midi interface Midisport but this seemed to have all I needed to 'jump up' from direct recording mic to mixer to /1/4/out to 1/8 input on my g4 tower using Audacity. The connection on the back of the computer wasn't very good with the long adapter.

I couldn't get the Tascam installed. Cubase seemed to work only in Classic and wouldn't recognize the US-122. The extra software that came with the unit was WIN only. I can read a manual but just couldn't get the unit to send out, using audacity with preferences changed. I used Midi in and Mic in. I couldn't get anything through the headphones either. I downloaded new drivers from Steinberg but then Cubase wouldn't go at all.

Reading the reviews at zzsounds makes me wish I had waited for the new MAc firewire, but searching through the archives this unit gets pretty good notices.

Sad in Syracuse

beltunabob,

If the software your unit came with is called Cubasis LE, it's old and does not run in OSX. Tascam now includes what they're calling Cubase LE with their interfaces, which is now OSX-compatible. Anyone who purchased a Tascam interface after August 1, 2004 is eligible for a free upgrade. Check out the details here: http://www.tascam.com/Products/cubase_le.html
