QUESTION 1 - Anyone notice anything odd when using the front panel 3.5 mm input? I rarely use it except for the odd time a buddy comes over with an ipod. But lately, I have been using it more, as I got me an ipad, and am playing around with guitar apps and interfaces. Here is my Tascam...

Question on line/mic trim control For the LINE/MIC trim control on mixer inputs 1-6. I had intuively thought the LINE-MIC knob was much like a LINE-MIC switch, so for the LINE inputs, I set it toward LINE (counterclockwise) ....but I gather it operates as a gain control and should normally be...

Thanks. Its a real shame the software has to be so terrible on a Windows platform. On the Mac, with GarageBand, it reconized my mixer right away, and I could start recording imemdiately. But my mac is old ( IMasG5) hand-me down, and I thought I give it a try on the PC. With Cubase, Sonar...

What do you use for DAW software? Looking for the equiv of GarageBand for Windows Do you use Reaper? Mixcraft ?

Which latency are you referring to. I can see where latency would be an issue: -if there were different delays for different inputs , or -if there was a notciable delay betwen inputs and outputs when playing live, or -if you were monitoring as you were recording. Are to referring to one of the...

Is ASIO4all available for the PC ad the MAC? I have have had the TASCAM for quite a while... running thru an old iMAC G5 for very small projects using Garage Band 08. No issues to report, but then again, I was only recording a few tracks, ie small projects.

I'm still a beginner at this, so for me its perfectly fine ! Perhaps others can give better advice! At the moment, I'm mainly using the mixer more as a control centre for live playback.

Re guitar inputs, it should be fine. I run mine via a Digitech RP155 effects processor first, then to a line input on the mixer. Re LEDs, I simply use them as a quick visual indicator the input is receiving a signal. Its actually quite useful for that... not intended to be a VU meter.

1) Is it the cable itself , or the equipment configuration (connector/design) that determines what is balanced vs unbalanced? 2) Can you tell by looking at a cable if it is balanced vs unbalanced? In the past I've used Rapco, Planet waves, and more recently Live Wire ( package says Made in...

1) Thanks. I am north of the GTA. 2) Spoke with UPS today and they tell me all I owe them is $21.90 - sounds too low, but hey, that would make my total landed cost $357.38 CDN at the door. Even if I get dinged for more, it was still a great deal. Musicians Friend is my new friend! This all...

johnnymegabyte - just wanted to thank you for the info you've been provideding on the mixer. My full setup is shown here - a work in progress ! By the way, got a great deal on the mixer. At LM, it actually went up to $545 CDN or $615 after taxes, so I explored other options. Turns out...

I am also toying with an alternate configuation shown below , where I have 1) the jamman stereo looper hooked up via the aux sends so can loop either guitar, or even the keyboard. 2) the guitar amp as an output device ( rather an an input device). This allows me to a) 'listen' in a number of...

I placed my order on Sunday nIght on line - hope to see it next week. I have a question related to audio output and speakers...specfically wondering if I should get a set of powered speakers to connect to the TASCAM outputs. My intended configuration is as per attached, TASCAM SETUP, where...

Re a M164-UF purchase, other than LM, does anyone know who are the authorized TASCAM dealers are in Ontario?? I checked the web site at http://www.teac-ca.com/ but all they list there are : -AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRES -FACTORY SERVICE STATIONS -TEAC / TASCAM PARTS & SERVICES but no dealers...
