I found a cakewalk studioware map for the tascam tm-d1000 at the tascam site and found out it was possible to use the tm-d1000 with cakewalk via midi. How is this possible? I loaded it up and I can't figure out what to do next. Also, what does this map control? Please help, I'm confused.

If it's MIDI, then it will control Muting of the Mixer's Channels and things of that nature-turn effects on and off (I guess that the TDM has some kind of effects built in)..
I personally don't know a whole lot about the TDM-I kind of saw it as a toy, since I record a full band at once-and it only has 4 mic inputs-it was kind of useless for me...

Tim,

The TM-D1000 comes with 8 inputs (8mic/line and 4 XLR) which 4 of them have phantom power and it is upgradeable to 16 inputs. Since it only has 16 channels, that is the highest amount of analog inputs it has. Anyway, when I was reading about studioware I saw that you could control the channel inputs and pans from the TMD to cakewalk and vice versa. Am I mistaken, or is this possible?

Like I said, it has 4 Mic inputs.
1/4" is not a Mic Input. You have to buy a Rackmount expander to add more Mic Inputs-which I personally didn't like; I simply see this mixer as more of a "keyboard player's" Mixer than a Mixer for recording a Rockband.
Granted now, you can but them for under $500 (MF has them all the time for $4xx-something).

But, how much can you do "on the fly"/real Time with it?
How fast can you change EQ or something like that?
I do alot of Live band recording-and sometimes needs to be able to do Live Recording AND live sound at the same time...

I see what you mean now, about "on the fly". That would be a pain in the ass messing around with the Eq and the effects while the band's in the middle of a song. Since I don't need "on the fly" the TMD is perfect for me. The overall quality of the unit is great. I am a one man band. The only reason I need more than a couple of mics at one time is cause of the drums. :-)
