    The TASCAM US-800 is Garbage!!! (j/k)

    There were a few other people in that thread that reported very similar problems... although I didn't actually see a blue screen my reboot error report said "blue screen error" so it's probably the same kind of thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone has found a sure fix yet. But...

    The TASCAM US-800 is Garbage!!! (j/k)

    I went back and read that other thread again and it sounds like I'm having a lot of the same problems of rockstar_not. Maybe they sent me the one he returned LOL.

    The TASCAM US-800 is Garbage!!! (j/k)

    My US800 finally arrived, and after uninstalling all my other old audio drivers I hooked it up and installed the Tascam drivers. The installation went swimmingly… I didn’t even have to set it as my PC’s principal sound device, it automatically filled the role. I plugged my instruments into the...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    Thanks for your help oretez. I went ahead and ordered the $100 US800 so if I still have driver issues or other problems I should be able to return/resell it and try one of these other avenues. It doesn't necessarily have to go in my drive bay, anything other than something that was made to be...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    You're right, its better to have more than you need than need more than you have. I play drums, and right now I only have a set of edrums, but one day I will have a mic'd acoustic set and I'll be glad I bought the US800. The US122 worked well with the exceptions I mentioned, and refusing to...

    Good point... this tread certainly got the attention I was looking for. I don't think I have it in me to get any nastier than that so I'm glad it worked. ;) All of you guys are very nice and helpful, I appreciate your input and I'm sorry for getting testy. Jimmys69, mjb, and everyone have...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    Thank you for responding. I am using Reaper on a older PC running Windows XP. I'm really trying to educate myself on the benefits and drawbacks of PCI vs. USB, but the fact that one goes for $100 and the other is $500 (new) is keeping me confused. On the surface the Tascam seems like it...

    Newbie Forum Politics

    When someone comes into the Newbie forums throwing a tantrum talking about "such and such equipment is garbage" and "you don't know what you're talking about person who's has 5000 posts and 10M rep points" people are jumping out of their shoes to console and help him. For the last 3 days I've...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    Could someone please throw me a bone here?! I just want to know: 1. What tangible advantages will I get from using an actual USB interface like the Tascam US800 over my digitech guitar pedal? 2. If I could find a cheap used PCI card interface like the Gina3G for the same price as the US800...

    Also, mjbphotos I noticed you said this in jimmys69's thread: I will be using it as my principal sound card... will this really happen? Is it bad enough that I should avoid it?

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    So I bid a used Gina3G up to about $100 on Ebay, but didn't win the auction so now I'm thinking more seriously about that Tascam US-800. I'm still really hesitant to buy it for the reasons stated above, but I'm hoping someone can ease my mind. Everyone seems to be reccomending it so I guess it...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    How much of a difference in latency would there be between a pci/breakout interface like the Gina3G and a USB interface like the Tascam US-800? That was another reason I wanted to get a PCI card. True, the US-800 would fit the bill for desktop convenience, and it appears to be a solid...

    E Drums producing unwanted sounds

    Problem solved!!! For anyone else searching these forums for a solution to this problem here it is: Although this kit comes stock with 8 pads and 8 inputs, it actually supports 9, the 9th being a second crash. The brain only has 8 jacks, but the 8th jack (the kick) is labeled 8/9. On the...

    E Drums producing unwanted sounds

    Could that be the problem if I'm getting the extra crash sound in both MIDI and headphones/audio output? I sent an email to Yamaha customer support explaining the problem so hopefully they can provide a solution. If I get it fixed I'll post it so others with the same problem might benefit.

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    A USB interface is pretty much what the RP255 is. If all I was going to buy was another USB interface I would just keep using what I already have. I actually still have an old TASCAM US-122L lying around that I used to use, but the RP255 was so much more stable that I just started using that...

    Ergonomic Upgrade

    My very modest "home studio" which I use to create simple songs by myself consists of only a computer running reaper and a DigiTech RP255 guitar pedal connected by USB cable. Recording songs is only a hobby and my setup is fine with me audio quality-wise, but I'm hoping to add a little ease of...

    E Drums producing unwanted sounds

    I don't own a PA, I only use headphones so it wouldn't be that. I was actually able to produce a crash sound by hitting the tom that was mounted next to it really really hard, but what I got was what I would expect from vibration: a very low volume crash sound that was the same as if I tapped...

    E Drums producing unwanted sounds

    I reset to factory settings and it's still doing it... if that's something they did on purpose out of the box that was a stupid idea. I'll look into it though, maybe it was something accidental I could work around. Thanks.

    E Drums producing unwanted sounds

    Hello! I have a Yamaha DTXplorer kit that I use for recording drum tracks, and have a problem I'm hoping someone could help me solve. Whenever I hit the kick strongly, the kit produces a crash sound. This happens in both midi and regular audio output. I don't think it is simply vibration...
