Maybe the building was attacked by angry mobs of musicains demanding drivers! The server was destroyed by pouring Jack Daniels in the power supply fan.

I didn't know they had a forum,, guess everything has a forum, Is there a forum for doorbells? possibly a shoe polish forum?

Any how , I like my Tascam us1641 now I have W7 64 bit it is behaving very well. And I have never had issues with any of the many recorders and tape machines I used in the not to distant analog days. Let's just hope it's a makeover to something better.

Good riddance! I hope they’re closed for good. I can’t believe they lasted as long as they did. I was one of the first 100 members and a moderator for a while. Terry (trtjazz) is the biggest ass and dumbass I have ever met. The site started sometime after Tascam closed its official forums in 2003, but it was never even close. Most of the material was stolen from other sites and yet they had the gall to start charging a fee at one point. Nearly all the info that was on tascamforums can be found in older forums where it originated.

Well, that last post seems unnecessarily nasty, but welcome to the Forum. I bought a Tascam FW-1884 and discovered the Tascam User Forum in 2004. It has been invaluable for me and I was proud to contribute both money and info. Together with others, especially OP Tom Deering, we were successful in convincing Tascam to release the Frontier Design drivers we needed for Windows 7 64-bit and SONAR when no one else would help. Our documentation helped many users for many years. I will always be extremely grateful that forum existed.

Well Matt, what do we do now?
I would have stepped up and renewed the site for a year if we had known it was going down.

Hi Tom. I also could have hosted the info temporarily, although it might be in violation of my terms of service to open it up to others. I have my sites on Host Baby, a division of CD Baby who sells my CD. They probably would not look favorably on an equipment forum. I also would contribute more if needed to reinstate the forum.

I used the forum years ago when I was recording on my 2488......still a great recorder but forget it for editing

Well the Tascam Forums have been dark for a couple of days now.
Does anyone have contact info for the forum owner?
DrWho?
Isn't that what he called himself?

            hi tom,
            i believe we have talked in the past on the tascam forum ... (mark v)
            yes the tascam site is down.  the forum owner, bruce deirdorn (sp), passed away recently.
            rip bruce ...
            there was talk of keeping the site alive but somehow it has gone dark.
            hopefully some of the other moderators/interested parties will pick up the ball and keep it running.
            the $4 charge for being a member was more than fair considering the amount of help it provided me,
            and others, thoughout the past 6 years that i have been a member.
            just keep an eye out for a restart ... somebody will care enough to reinstate the site.
            there are many of us patiently awaiting.
            sincerely
            mark v

I didn’t say half of what I could have.  If you’ve ever dealt with Terry you’d know what unnecessarily nasty is all about.  As I said, most of the material on Tascamforums originated on other sites, namely homerecording.com… so much of my stuff was copied and pasted verbatim from other music forums I lost count.  And they wanted to charge for what was freely available elsewhere.  I was Tascamforums member #80 and one of the first moderators.  I offered technical advice from 30+ years of recording experience for free, and then they turn around and charge a membership fee. 
 
After I quit the forum my posts continued to be stolen from other sites without credit.  Terry tried to pressure Tascam into funding the site.  Tascam got so disgusted with their tactics they removed Tascam forums from their list of recommend music forums.  Teac/Tascam also received complaints from forum members about mistreatment due to terry’s behavior.  Many people thought they were on a Tascam company site, because up until 2003 Tascam did maintain a forum at Tascam.com.  If you want to reach Tascam experts from the pre-2003 company forum most of us are at homerecording.com in the Tascam or Analog section.  Thanks for the welcome.   
 
P.S. RIP Bruce.  He was ill for a long time and the problems with the site were not his doing.

I paid the small fee to tascamforums, but didn't get much from browsing there.  By the way, is homerecording owned by the same people?  I noticed a topic at gs that mentioned when tascamforums goes down, homerecording does too.  I just visited homerecording and clicked the "Cakewalk" area there, then "panning question".. and sure enough, the site then crashes out.

This is my first post here by the way.  I used Cakewalk dos in the old old days and sort of checked out after I bought pro audio 8 and 9.
