Thank  you  for  purchasing  the TASCAM 

IF-FW/DM  FireWire  audio  card  for 

TASCAM mixers. It is designed to provide 

audio and MIDI interfacing between your 

TASCAM mixer and your computer based 

DAW, essentially turning your TASCAM 

mixer into a FireWire audio/MIDI interface.
Please take some time to look through this 

Owner’s Manual and familiarize yourself 

with the IF-FW/DM’s features, setup and 

operation. We suggest you pay particular 

attention to the setup notes for your com-

puter platform of choice (Mac or PC). You 

may also need to refer to your software’s 

documentation for a clear understanding of 

how to set up an audio/MIDI interface from 

within your software. Your experience with 

the IF-FW/DM will be greatly enhanced by a 

good working knowledge of your audio soft-

ware.
Be sure to check the TASCAM web site at 

www.tascam.com

 to ensure you have the 

latest software updates for your IF-FW/DM.
