Tascam is shipping the FW-1884 DAW control surface and audio/MIDI interface. The interface uses the FireWire high-speed data transfer protocol. It has an 18-channel audio interface, eight mic preamps, 4×4 MIDI interface and editing and mixing controls.
According to Tascam, the FW-1884 takes command of a studio and replaces much of the gear needed to record into a DAW. With more bandwidth than USB, FireWire delivers 18-channel audio input and output – eight analog, eight ADAT digital and two S/PDIF coaxial or optical. The FW-1884 has nine 100-mm motorized touch-sensitive faders and dedicated controls for pan, solo, mute and select per channel and tactile control over four bands of EQ. Info: www.tascam.com.
