FW-1082
Applications Guide
Music Education
MIDI Sequencing
A s school band budgets continue to shrivel and
parents challenge an educator’s every move,
many band directors are fi nding that recording is
the answer to many of their problems. Using the
FW-1082 audio interface, a teacher can record re-
hearsals to a computer so that students can listen
to the “big picture” when they aren’t concentrating
on their fi ngering. Capturing auditions can be a
big help when trying to remember how a student
did after a full day, and can answer the arguments
of parents asking why their kid didn’t make fi rst
chair. And recording a seasonal concert and selling
the CDs to relatives can be a more profi table and
appropriate fund-raiser than selling candy.
With its four microphone inputs, fl exible moni-
toring and easy-to-use interface, the FW-1082 is
a great solution for recording in the classroom.
See TASCAM’s “Recording Systems for Education”
brochure for more information about using our
recording systems in your school.
W ith two MIDI outputs, eight line ins, digital
I/O and word clock connections, the FW-
1082
makes a great command center for big MIDI
studios. Since it uses high-bandwidth FireWire to
connect to a computer, the FW-1082 can record
or mix enough audio and MIDI channels for the
biggest synth productions.
The rear panel of the FW-1082 has
eight balanced analog line inputs
for getting all of your synths and
modules into your DAW for mixing.
There’s also a 24-bit S/PDIF digital
input for digital sources like a PC
running GigaStudio 3. Two MIDI ins
and two MIDI outs provide up to 32
channels of MIDI information to your
synths and modules.
The control surface of the FW-1082
is recognized by most sequencers,
like Digital Performer, Logic, Sonar
and Cubase LE –or it can emulate the Mackie HUI or
Mackie Control for total compatibility. Nine touch-
sensitive moving faders, transport buttons and
assignable encoders allow you to control every
aspect of your mix. Or, if you need both hands to
play, plug into the footswitch.
