Problems With Dp 4.61 And Tascam Fw-1884...please Help, Control Surface Issues Options

[jfavela]

I had been doing some research on what type of control
surface to add to my studio:

I use a PowerMac G4 dual 867 processors
1.75MB of Ram
Mac OSX.4.8 Tiger
I use MOTU's Digital Performer 4.61
I have 2 UAD-1 PCI cards
with a MOTU 828 mkII

The product I decided to buy is Tascam's FW-1884.
For the most part it drives DP's most commonly used
features great, but it gets sticky when I try to use
it with Plug-ins. I've gone over all the
documentation.

According to MOTU's tech, I should be running it in
HUI emulation, that it's preferred.

The FW-1884 manual says to run it in FW1884 Native
mode. (I think this one does work the best.)

And I tried the Mackie Emulation, still no luck
driving my DAWs plugs or my UAD plugs.

The problems I'm experiencing are the following:

In using the Shuttle Wheel, when using the SHTL key,
many parameters are skipped.

The parameters it does snap to respond, in a word,
"chopppy."

Surely a piece of hardware this expensive can be
configured to drive the stuff I want it to drive,
right?

And yes, I have the latest drivers and software.

"Of course I got TASCAM involved. They took all day trying to figure it out, I'm still waiting.
Why else would I be here? If anyone out there has some enlightening feedback, I'm all ears."

jfavela... You trash talked our "Leader". I know you're frustrated regarding your Technical Issue. Really, we ALL understand, been there. However, If this was the 'Real World' I'd have some 'Real Words'. No one likes a 'Dumb Ass' Smart Ass'.

You can't come into 'Our House' talkin' trash... I thought your Reply/Remark was way 'Out Of Line'. I did not Reply because I was informed the Forum was not for communiques unrelated to Computer/Software/Hardware issues. This was an exception.
