Hi. My daugter has a copy of pro-tools with the USB stick style interface. It's fine for mixing etc but of course there are no inputs for recording on it. She also has a Tascam interface that does have mic and jack inputs for recording. My question is, can she use this Tascam device as an input on PT and use the USB dongle thing as the output?

I don't want to start messing installing the Tascam on the system with Pro-Tools to find out you can't use it. I know PT can be a bit of a pain with other equipment.

Thanks for any help.
 
I don't believe so. Something about the way Tascam handles buffers is not compatible with Protools. Though I suppose that could depend on which version of PT or interface.

what????


tascam interface wont be compatible with protools, with the exception of Pro tools 9.
 
Yeah, I read something here about that and misunderstood. Seems it was just a matter of matching the latency settings in PT9 and a Tascam interface, then it works fine.
 
cool :)
is it cool to 'advertise' stuff on here, cos i may or may not be selling PT9 in the forums at the moment.
 
Steenamaroo is correct. PT 8 versions or earlier require an Avid or M-Audio device.

there is a free selling forum, it is very active. I personally have never used Protools but from what I have read about it I would ditch it and use Reaper any day...

Can't you run Reaper side by side with PT?
