Applications Guide
U
tilizing the latest FireWire tech-
nology, the TASCAM FW-1082 is a
complete studio solution with audio
I/O, MIDI I/O and a full-featured con-
trol surface in one affordable pack-
age. Whether you're just starting out
or looking to upgrade your hardware,
the FW-1082 is an ideal choice for a
compact recording system.
Four microphone inputs, each with
phantom power for condenser mics,
record to multiple tracks for later over-
dubbing or mixdown. The first two
inputs have analog insert points, so you
can insert a compressor to keep from
distorting. Up to eight line level signals
can be recorded or mixed simultane-
ously – such as synthesizers or multief-
fects processors. A S/PDIF connection
allows you to connect digital sources
for pristine audio quality.
The FW-1082 includes a full-featured
MIDI interface with two MIDI inputs
and two MIDI outputs, so you can con-
nect several synths and controllers.
The control surface of the FW-1082
features nine touch-sensitive moving
faders that snap to position when you
select a bank of eight faders. A full selec-
tion of transport buttons, cursor keys
and a shuttle wheel allow you to quickly
jump to any point of your song without
touching a mouse. The four assignable
encoders provide exact control over
pan, EQ* or aux sends of your worksta-
tion software mix. Separate headphone
and monitor outputs and controls are
also provided. It's compatible with all
of the top DAW recording applications,
including the bundled Cubase LE 48-
track workstation.
With its audio, MIDI and control
surface features, the FW-1082 is the
perfect command center for your home
studio.
