I had been doing some research on what type of control surface to add to my studio:
I use a PowerMac G4 dual 867 processors 1.75MB of Ram Mac OSX.4.8 Tiger I use MOTU's Digital Performer 4.61 I have 2 UAD-1 PCI cards with a MOTU 828 mkII
The product I decided to buy is Tascam's FW-1884. For the most part it drives DP's most commonly used features great, but it gets sticky when I try to use it with Plug-ins. I've gone over all the documentation.
According to MOTU's tech, I should be running it in HUI emulation, that it's preferred.
The FW-1884 manual says to run it in FW1884 Native mode. (I think this one does work the best.)
And I tried the Mackie Emulation, still no luck driving my DAWs plugs or my UAD plugs.
The problems I'm experiencing are the following:
In using the Shuttle Wheel, when using the SHTL key, many parameters are skipped.
The parameters it does snap to respond, in a word, "chopppy."
Surely a piece of hardware this expensive can be configured to drive the stuff I want it to drive, right?
And yes, I have the latest drivers and software.

Is there no firmware update for the tascam? What do the guys at Tascam say? And the UAD ones? They should be the first involved after all, it's "their" thing. In case there's a procedure for it, have you tried to reset the Tascam? Is there something else connected on the firewire port the tascam is using? And have you tried with only one UAD-1… (oblique approach)

Of course I got TASCAM involved. They took all day trying to figure it out, I'm still waiting. Why else would I be here? If anyone out there has some enlightening feedback, I'm all ears.

Hey, cool down!
I was asking questions you were not answering in your post at all and giving hints of thing to try if you have not already done so. We see questions here everyday of the year here, and it's usual for posters to left things that should have been told first hand, will you PLEASE answer to these?
I don't have the answer, but I know ways to troubleshoot some stuff (not everything, as everyone here) but we won't progress if you yell when we try to help.
If your problem was obvious, the tascam/motu guys would have give you the answer. So let's track the not so obvious, thanks.
