Os X Drivers In Beta : Tascam Stuff, need I say more? Options

A couple of weeks ago, I got a US-224 on loan from Tascam and they e-mailed me an OS X driver to use with it. It worked beautifully, so I could record audio in Melodyne, Bias Peak LE, Sound Studio etc in OS X. Keep an eye on the Tascam website if you've got a 224!  :D

Also, don't forget the TASCAM US-428 - I've been using this recently with Ableton Live and Reason under 10.1.5 with considerable success (MIDI and audio and control). It also seems to work well with Bias stuff, but i am not yet convinced enough to start using Deck.

now tell us ALL

We're going right in the off-topic way, but anyway, i'll try to clarify a bit, till BusError jumps in the thread ;-)

Yeah, you're right, so I've created a new topic. But to clarify the clarification before leaping out of this thread...

Yes, the PCI card is the EZ8: ...No USB or  Firewire, it's a PCI thing.

I don't know how we wound up here: I'm familiar with the exact I/O capabilities of both the EZBus and the EZ8. I didn't suggest that the EZ8 had USB.

I've laid it all out in the new topic.

I thought the EZ8 could also work as a standalone ADAT i/o interface, and not only as an EZbus expansion... Am i wrong (BusError)?

I don't know how we wound up here: I also never suggested that the EZ8 *didn't* work as a standalone ADAT i/o interface.

Maybe BusError also did the EZbus drivers for OS X? Hint, hint.

Well, now I feel like I've *really* fallen down a rabbit hole, because this entire discussion of this started right here:

Damann: is the Event EZBus also broken under 10.2?

I've just seen an annoucement from the dev who made the driver for OS X (BusError). At the moment, it supports 8 channels in/out, at 24bit / 48kHz.

I had asked about the *EZBus* (not EZ8) being broken under 10.2. You wrote in response to *that question* about a driver being written by BusError supporting 8 channels in/out. That *has* to have something to do with the DIGITAL I/O capabilities of the EZBus, because you C A N N O T put 8 channels I/O through the USB ports of the *EZBus*. Period. Not gonna' do it. That's why I asked if what BusError had written had to do with the *EZ8*, because that's the interface you connect an *EZBus* through for 8 channels, unless you have some *other* card/interface that has either S/PDIF and/or Lightpipe.

Hope we're all clear on this now. If not, maybe we can keep hacking away at it in the new thread I started. <Phew!>
