Reviews of Tascam FW1884 DAW Controller/Audio/MIDI Interface
Feature: It has everything you could want in a software based studio. Motorized faders, 8 ins and outs, midi, DAW controll, and digital I/O. And its expandable with the tascam FE-8. Is relatively portable also, bring along a laptop with a firewire and youve got an 8 in portable studio with phantom power!
Quality: Mixer is solid and good looking. Transport buttons are big and feel like professional. Faders move smoothly and the jog wheel feels works great.
Value: A good control surface with motorized faders like mackie universal will cost you a grand alone. Good luck trying and find a separate 8in/8out firewire audio interface and control surface for $1300, you wont find em. Add the midi and digital I/O and you have a real bargain.
Sound: Sound is very crisp. Mic pres are quiet, and through the digital in you can hook up better tube based pres.
Support: Tascam tech support guys were not much help with an issue I had with the clock sync. Got it working finally after reading the manual, go figure.
Overall: Great features, sound quality is crisp and faders are great. Kind of miss scribble strips, but the software readout gets the job done. Very Versatile!
