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.

Lepetitmartien,

Does the US 428 work well with Jaguar OS X 10.2? Tascam's site is a little misleading.

I am thinking of buying a new G4 Power Mac but want to make sure it will work with my 428.

If they do work together, are there still bugs being worked out?

If not, what's the comparable desktop Mac I should buy?

Lastly, as a general question, is there a way to receive an e-mail notification every time someone responds to a topic that I have initiated? If so, I couldn't find it.

I enjoy reading your posts.

hi salparadise,
you didn't mention the software you're using. only logic audio, live, reason, peak, spark, melodyne and soundstudio currently work under osx, i use logic, the only "pro" quality sequencer amongst these! so here's the state of play with logic.
currently, the only audio interface driver that works under 10.2 is motu's 828 driver. wink.gif
the only audio drivers listed by emagic as working under 10.1.5 are emi 2/6, m-audio delta 1010lt and motu 828. sad.gif
apart from the emagic emi 2/6 driver these are all beta's anyway! blink.gif
this situation will obviously change very quickly.
as far as the notification question, over to lpm... laugh.gif

Salparadise99, I think when you used the phrase "are there still bugs being worked out?", you hit the nail on the head. It's going to be that way for many months to come. Eventually everything will make it to 10.2 and work nice and stable, but right now it's all a bit up in the air - hardware, software, Apple OS. There isn't one perfect OS X system right now, really. I'm sure every audio/midi company is working on their solutions, but it all takes time. So either wait until everything is ready and rocksteady or stick with 10.1.5 for now (or even 9.x, God forbid). You CAN get something fantastic working in 10.1.5. Just maybe not everything you'd like.

currently the us428 has mixed results with 10.2.1
it seems to work ok with peak 3.1 and itunes, not
at all with reason and some other software currently
in beta, to be released soon. there is mostly silence
from tascam on this issue, with several threads on
the tascam bbs addressing this topic. no one seems
to be sure whether this is a coremidi/coreaudio
problem or a driver problem. feels like everyone is
waitingfor the dust to settle on osx.

I'd say the dust settled on OS X, musically, about two years ago. Then came the falling leaves. Then came the snow. Then the rain and floods and mud, followed by volcanic ash and rubble.

It remains to be seen if anything at this point can dig it out.

Damann: is the Event EZBus also broken under 10.2? I thought they had a driver for Logic. Of course it takes an accounting firm to try and keep track of what works and what won't with what. And, of course, when. wink.gif

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.
Not finished yet, but usable, he said.

Bye.

Well, who else would be tapped to write a driver for something called "EZBus" but "buserror." unsure.gif laugh.gif

Just pulling your chain, buserror. biggrin.gif

Official Request for Clarification: Okay, now, I just got it from what I will describe as "an unimpeachable source" wink.gif that Event is planning to have Mac support for their EZ8 PCI card, which is the only way I know of that the EZBus can push 8 channels in and out of a computer. It sure ain't going to do it through USB. huh.gif

So I am aquiver with questions (which I guess only buserror can answer, but probably only within the strictures of a non-disclosure agreement--which probably means not at all.) But of course I'm going to ask anyway. rolleyes.gif

1. When you say buserror made "the driver for OS X," uh, what driver is that? Generally, the OS X driver for the EZBus itself, meaning, I guess, for the USB I/O? Or...

2. Is he doing the driver for the EZ8? Or...

3. Is he doing/did he do (sigh) drivers for both? Or...

4. Does it all mean something else altogether that somebody needs to walk me through without using big words?

What the heck does that mean? These, BTW, aren't just idle curiosity questions. I am about --><-- that far away from springing for the EZBus on the basis that I *will*, at some point, be able to push and pull 8 channels through the digital I/O, so any specific information would be greatly appreciated.
