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.

I've recently bought an Edirol FA-101 which seems to integrate well into OSX generally. They've just brought out the FA-66 too, which is cheaper (& actually would have suited my needs fine as I don't need huge numbers of in/outputs), & might suit you well? Certainly the 101 has been glitch-free in operation so far, & sounds very good; very clear (using mainly with logic, running on a g4 powerbook).

ps. I considered the m-audio one too, but had heard dubious things about their drivers & audio glitches etc., so decided to get the Edirol instead.
