[ddots-l] Re: emergency help needed on an audio interface

What you've been told about the Tascam mirrors what I was told, as well from 
ADK. Apparently support from Tascam is so difficult to get that ADK does not 
want to introduce this wildcard into the DAW.

Damon, ping me off-list to talk about ADK. I took delivery of my DAW just a 
couple weeks ago.

  Subject: [ddots-l] emergency help needed on an audio interface


  OK, so I am buying a computer from adk pro audio through Dancing Dots. I get 
a call telling me that it is possible that my tascam fw1884 may not work with 
the new system due to some conflict that nobody can seem to track down. I can 
use it for midi and control surface functionality, but if the unit conflicts 
with the computer, audio will not work at all, even with small sonar projects. 
So, I am trying to plan ahead. Here is what I am thinking.

   

  I'll keep the tascam, and try it out to see if it works and still purchase a 
second audio interface. If the tascam happens to work, then I can chain the two 
together and use audio on both units and maybe ditch the line mixer I am using 
to get the keyboards into the system. If the tascam doesn't work, I can use it 
for midi and control surface and use the audio interface for getting the audio 
into the computer. I want to know from you all, with a budge of no more than 
$900 at most, what audio interface I should go with that will give me the 
inputs and outputs I need, and whose software control panel will be accessible 
to Jaws. If the unit has effects or whatnot, that's fine. Also, I am assuming I 
can connect the adat connector on the tascam to the adat connector on the new 
interface and pipe the audio from the analog ins to the adat into the new 
interface to double my inputs and outputs, right? If so, am I thinking about 
this the right way or is my head firmly planted in my posterior. Anyway, any 
suggestions would be hugely appreciated, and I need information today because I 
have to call Bryan from dancing dots back with an answer as soon as possible. 
Thanks.
