Software application notes

Since much of the FW-1884's operation pertains
directly to your DAW software, TASCAM has prepared
a series of application notes on using the FW-1884
with a number of different DAW programs. These
application notes are included on the FW-1884 CD-
ROM, and are available online in PDF format on the
TASCAM website at www.tascam.com.

Special notes for touch-faders

The usual rules regarding precision electronic equip-
ment naturally apply to the FW-1884. In addition,
note the following that apply to the touch-sensitive fad-
ers:
The faders need a human finger to operate their touch-
sensitivity. Do not use a pencil, ruler, etc. to operate
them. Even using your fingernails may not activate the
touch-sensitivity.

• If you have to type something into the computer, we
write it this way:
• The names of keys to be pressed on the computer
keyboard are written in this typeface with square
brackets enclosing them [F1].
• Keys that are to be pressed together are joined by a +
symbol, so that [Ctrl]+[F1] means press and hold
the Control key and press the F1 key.

To read them, you will need an application capable of
displaying PDF files, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader
(version 4 or above), available for free download from
the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com.
Since software applications and operating systems often
evolve and develop after their initial release, we suggest
you check the TASCAM site regularly for updated
information. It's also a good idea to check your soft-
ware manufacturer's website regularly, for information
and version updates.
The humidity and temperature of your environment
affects the touch-sensitivity of the faders. Under nor-
mal working conditions you should experience no
issues. However, extremes of temperature and/or
humidity may sometimes cause operational problems.
