Thank you for any help that you and your company Tascam can provide.īelow is Tascam Customer Service first response to my initial contact: Just a little info: My computer consists of an Intel Core 2 Duo with 4gigs of ram and Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. That is because the latest Sonar 64-bit driver on the Tascam site is compatible with Sonar 5 and not compatible with Sonar 7, 8.3, and 8.5. For example, if I press the Record + Channel Select button on the FW-1884, Sonar 8.5 will not respond. There are some features on the FW-1884 that does not work with the present Sonar 64-bit driver because that driver is not compatible with the latest 3 versions of Sonar (7, 8.3, and 8.5). Ĭan Tascam create a Sonar 64-bit driver base on the Sonar 32-bit 1.22 beta driver? I know it will work… I also run Sonar 8.5.2 64-bit on the same computer with your latest Sonar 64-bit driver. You can not get the full benefits of a 64-bit computer that way. I am sure you know running a 32-bit program and a 32-bit driver in a 64-bit computer limit you to 4gigs of memory. The FW-1884 is fully functional with this driver. I am using the 32-bit 1.22 beta driver in my Windows 7 64-bit computer with my 32-bit Sonar 8.5.2 software. I can contest the Sonar 32-bit 1.22 beta driver works great. The 1.22 beta driver works like a charm (fully functional) with Sonar 7, 8.3, and 8.5.2 (32-bit). However, that driver has been shared amongst many Tascam FW-1884 owners that are running the latest Sonar 32-bit programs. The Sonar 32-bit 1.22 driver was never officially released by Tascam. Not to long ago, there was a 32-bit 1.22 beta driver that was giving to a few people for beta testing with Sonar 6. I am using the latest Windows driver v.1.7 and the latest Sonar 64-bit driver from the Tascam site. Thanks for your quick response! Yes you are right I realize that I must turn off the FW-1884 before shutting down Windows 7 64-bit. I will keep you posted if I get another response.
