A couple of weeks ago, I got a US-224 on loan from Tascam and they e-mailed me an OS X driver to use with it. It worked beautifully, so I could record audio in Melodyne, Bias Peak LE, Sound Studio etc in OS X. Keep an eye on the Tascam website if you've got a 224!  :D

Also, don't forget the TASCAM US-428 - I've been using this recently with Ableton Live and Reason under 10.1.5 with considerable success (MIDI and audio and control). It also seems to work well with Bias stuff, but i am not yet convinced enough to start using Deck.

now tell us ALL

Damann: is the Event EZBus also broken under 10.2?

I've just seen an annoucement from the dev who made the driver for OS X (BusError).

Well, who else would be tapped to write a driver for something called "EZBus" but "buserror."

Just pulling your chain, buserror.

At the moment, it supports 8 channels in/out, at 24bit / 48kHz.

Official Request for Clarification: Okay, now, I just got it from what I will describe as "an unimpeachable source" that Event is planning to have Mac support for their EZ8 PCI card, which is the only way I know of that the EZBus can push 8 channels in and out of a computer. It sure ain't going to do it through USB.

So I am aquiver with questions (which I guess only buserror can answer, but probably only within the strictures of a non-disclosure agreement--which probably means not at all.) But of course I'm going to ask anyway.

1. When you say buserror made "the driver for OS X," uh, what driver is that? Generally, the OS X driver for the EZBus itself, meaning, I guess, for the USB I/O? Or...

2. Is he doing the driver for the EZ8? Or...

3. Is he doing/did he do (sigh) drivers for both? Or...

4. Does it all mean something else altogether that somebody needs to walk me through without using big words?

Not finished yet, but usable, he said.

What the heck does that mean? These, BTW, aren't just idle curiosity questions. I am about --><-- that far away from springing for the EZBus on the basis that I *will*, at some point, be able to push and pull 8 channels through the digital I/O, so any specific information would be greatly appreciated.
