Reviewed on 2008-06-03 New drivers for Vista and Leopard If you've heard about lack of Vista compatibility, Tascam's German site has the new drivers for vista and Leopard compatibility. Just google it. I am not totally happy with my unit. I am using it under Tiger. The volume controls are grayed out in Garageband and other recording programs on the mac. Must be a driver issues. Anyway, it makes it hard to get adequate volume into my recordings without having to go back later and edit each track to get adequate volume levels. Which also introduces a certain amount of noise. Am i alone in having these problems? Hope for driver updates to solve this. Please.

Reviewed on 2007-11-09 A very nice audio Interface and control surface for Logic 7 I recently upgraded to a MacBookPro with Logic 7 on it. I needed a control surface that was Firewire based and would allow good functionality and portability. This audio interface/control surface provides a nice touch. I went from an Ozone Midi controller to this because this one was Firewire-based AND I never was into using the keyboard. For my purposes, plugging a mic, guitar, bass and electronic drums this was a great option. It took a little bit of fiddling to work with a MacBookPro (with Tiger and Leopard) and involved a rollback of Firewire drivers/firmware which is available on the Tascam website. Without the rollback, the control surface will not work (or will work unpredictably). This is a Mac/Logic 7 issue. Anyway, I'm pleased. It looks great, works great (after Fix for Mac OS X 10.4.10 FireWire) and seems very durable. Time will tell.
