Oh yeah, the 1608 first had two dead channels and I just worked around them but then the weirdest thing happened, I tried recording with it and before it totally crashed if I hit a note on a guitar string, a single blip of note, there was a really noticeable delay AND the note that came out was about a half note low! THAT was weird, never saw that before.I called Tascam support and they are the ones telling me they won't work on win 10, and it sure didn't work with me. The last update for the 1800 was like 7 years ago.
I thought about win 7 compatibility mode, but if I do that and open my Studio one which is happy with Win 10, will the 1800 still work when the rest of the comp is running 10?
Nice! I spent a bunch of years with the 1800 and the 1641 predecessor. I was surprised it didn't work.It turns out I can in fact connect the old 1800 to my win 10 box. I was just doing it wrong, had to start without the 1800 hooked up then it asks for it to be connected to the USB port and THEN turn it on. After that the download of the driver went smoothly so the official product support dude at Tascam was wrong.
Audio is now going to Studio one which is a big relief, now just waiting for my replacement 1608 to get here.
