It has happened a few times to me as well, but the R record button will always stay illuminated in the track inspector after disarming on the 1884.

Marco,
I still have the problem with the record button not turning off in the track inspector in Sonar after disabling the record button on the 1884. Not sure that the track inspector is supported yet. Have you noticed this?

My record lights stay on in the console view as well as the track inspector. Are you guys experiencing this also?

OK, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just my machine. The waiting game again.

That will be supported when they do the update for the Ultrafunk EQ.
We will have to wait a while on both...

BTW I do have the new driver, firm ware and Sonar plug-in installed.

Hey Michael, just giving you a hard time, welcome to the club! Let us know if the drivers helped you and what you think of the FW-1884/Sonar experience.

Dude.. your killing me...
"To determine which version you need, open the Windows Control Panel on your
computer, and launch the Add/Remove Programs dialog. Scroll down and look for the
presence of the Windows Hotfix Q819111. If this hotfix is installed you can use the
smaller (~500KB) installer. Otherwise, use the full (10MB) installer.
If you are installing this driver version onto a PC that does not have a previous (V 1.00)
FW-1884 driver installation, the full 10MB installer must be used. This installation is
identical to that described in this doc, the Ownerâ€™s Manual and the Setup Guide.
If you are installing this driver version onto a PC that has V 1.00 drivers already installed,
please use the approximately 500k updater.
If you are installing V 1.10 drivers for the first time from the CD included with your FW-1884
then your devices already have the latest firmware that goes with V 1.10.
If you are installing over V 1.00 drivers then you will also need to run the Firmware
Updater. The Firmware updater must be installed after installing the V 1.10 drivers. The
Firmware updater app is a separate download file from the V 1.10 driver file you
downloaded from the TASCAM web site and includes instructions to guide you through
this very simple process. This updates the FW-1884 from ARM135 / FPGA 45 to ARM
145 / FPGA 49. These version numbers can be seen in the FW-1884 control panel.
"
And then do the fw1884_sonar_installer_1_10.exe
You should be good to go minus the learning curve...

Hot digity you got me over 50 I'm "Bronze" now!

All we know about the drivers are here, you can read it and know what we know.
Other than that I don't know.

I just received them. Great looking guitar!

According to what documentation? Is there a 'read_me' in one of the zip files. I don't see any specific instructions in the 'Driver Software - read_me'?

RE: Sonar 2.2 & Tascam FW-1884 sync problems? (rgfors)

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 12:34:26 GMT

I installed them last night. There are four downloads that are applicable. One is the full install, the next is the update, the next is a firmware update and finally one for Sonar.

According to the documentation and what I did, you run the update first. Once completed, you run the firmware update. After that, you run the Sonar update. There is no need to run the full install... BTW, it works like a charm! No more latency issues.

I tried to send the zipped pictures of the Brubaker to you just a minute ago, and got a failure notice. Please advise, and I will resend...

Sweet. I can't wait to try these out. Unfortunately I've got a band coming in tomorrow and it would not be wise to go mucking around with new drivers when I am already in a working state now. Hopefully I'll get them installed friday.

Are these just installed over the previous drivers or do we need to uninstall and re-install with the new drivers? Also, should the firmware be installed first or last?

So the pre-delay problem was the same using a different timing master, but I think I've fixed it by playing with buffers.
I did have another loss of contact with the FW-1884, but closed and opened Sonar without turning on and off the 1884, and that seemed to work fine to re-establish.

I've still got some mucking around to do it seems.
2 problems:
1) The FW-1884 has lost contact with Sonar when I've changed any MIDI configuration stuff, so I have to close Sonar, turn off the 1884, and turn back on 1884, restart Sonar.
2) Now when I go back to the metronome recording test that started this thread, sure enough, the metronome lines up the same every time. No more drift! BUT... it's EARLY. So the first downbeat is sort of cutoff. I assume I can just set an offset or play with buffers for this though.

But so far, yes, a vast improvement. Just some quirks to work out, I think. I'll try it with my Behringer ADA8000 as the timing master and see if it makes a difference.

For me, 11.6 ms of latency is too much because i used to do all of my vocal recording with effects on the Motu 828. anything more than 2.9ms makes it sort of hard to accurately monitor. I guess 11.6ms is not too horrible when playing soft-synths. But everybody wants lower latency right?

RE: Sonar 2.2 & Tascam FW-1884 sync problems? (digipenguin)

I think you'll see 'input monitoring' is disabled when you install the 'Sonar plugin' for the FW. The FW will automatically change to whatever sample rate you have the Sonar set to. Increase your buffers to 4 and try sliding the latency slider back a little. I think you're pretty much hosed until the new drivers come out though. 11.6ms is too much latency?
