I was very happy with my TASCAM FW-1884 as an interface and control surface.
 
Then I added my RME UFX and the recording chain was improved considerably.
 
Now the only downside is the unit is no longer supported so I believe I'm stuck on WIN 7 (which ain't a bad thing, IMO) with this as my control surface unless the drivers"happen" to work on Win 8.


OT there's a new RME update-
Windows PnP driver for Fireface UFX, UCX, UC and Babyface, version 1.042.
 


I think he's referring to the Tascam FW1884 unit, which was discontinued in 2010. 
And therefore does not have any official drivers for Win8
 


Correct


Another OT, but FYI: I'm using FW1884 with great stability on Win 8.1. And the X3 trial. 
It has been so stable and not missed a single note the last 11 days (it have been powered on for 11 days...) so I'm actually buying X3 now as soon as I find a good deal :)

The Maillard Reaction
I wonder if this thing is Made In Japan at a genuine Tascam factory or if it is Made In Elsewhere at a contract factory? The genuine factory stuff always seems to be worth a premium price.
