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...

The Focusrite Sapphire 40 looks amazing... and appears very similar to theTASCAM US-1641.....so yes, the combination of a working Behringer mixer plus a suitable multitrack interface would indeed work well, and would work well for all three options above. The route of the TASCAM m-164UF for...

Agree. From what I have read, there seems to be a least three ways to use a mixer: 1) One is for live/on-the-fly performances, where , as per your example, one could have multiple sources to mix/experment with, and then later back to the DAW to record into a final product as a stereo mix. I...

I have not bought the TASCAM yet but I am real close (just need to pay off some boxing day bills!!). As to the Behringer, I run hot and cold on these. Very easy to be impressed with the price point, but I remain concerned about the quality, noise etc. As per one of thse posts here, am I buying...

What happens when you simply plug your headphones directly into the mixer (ie not into receiver and not into any extension) Is the sound still "thin" or is it normal?

Funny you should mention that as, in my current setup ( no mixer but a bunch of switches) I noticed the headphones are a bit distorted ( vs a direct connection to the amp)... and was looking forward to a nomral arrangement where I could monitor via the mixer. Have you narrowed down the issue...
