Beagle1 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Can't comment on the Tascam US-428...but it should work fine as there is now a Core Audio driver for it on their Web site. The US-428 is a very cool little box. What I wanted to say is that you might also want to check out the Event EZ-Bus. I got one mainly to use as a portable mini-mixer for keyboards, but I recently plugged it into my Dual 800 to see if it would work with Logic 5.4 under OS X 10.2.1. There is no Core Audio or Core MIDI driver for the EZ-Bus listed on Event's Web site, but the unit appears not to need them. When you plug it in to the USB port, it automatically registers itself as a sound input and output device, and also shows up under the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. So far, I've been very pleasantly surprised running the EZ-Bus with OS X and Logic...it is a very flexible piece of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrysb3 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I can only comment on the 428, which I use with OS9 and Cubase. The learning curve was pretty steep for an old guy like me, but I like the results so far.

deanmass Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 I looked at the Even piece too....I like it, but at the price, I start considering the 828 or even the Mertic Halo 2882. I hate shopping for stuff any more...Option anxiety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknputer Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I wanted a 428 until I found that it doesn't have phantom power, at which point I wondered what's the point of recording digital if you can't use condenser mics? The EZ Bus looks kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
