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.
