Tascam Us-428, Just bought and am totally lost, HELP! Options

[Mangrilla]

So I just got this tascam interface for my computer. But the directions are mostly for PC and when they are for mac, they are for OS 9. I checked the website without much luck. I have all the drivers, but I can't get the input to work I guess. I changed the settings in control panel for input to be the tascam, as well as did it in Garageband (I figured that would be a nice simple program to try it out in, but I also have Logic). I can't get the input to work in Tascam's own application (which has a tuner in it) or in Garageband. Any help?? I hope I didn't pay all this money for an expensive rock... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH

No worries, it should be a piece of cake, but I'll need more info. I take it you are working in OSX. Panther or Jaguar? I haven't upgraded to Panther yet, so I'm not 100% positive the Panther driver works correctly, but I haven't heard anything bad... BTW, you should only have one driver (per OS, that is). Did you install the driver with the 428 turned on? That's a no-no. You might have to run the "uninstaller" and then reinstall.

I've never used GarageBand, but I use Logic with my 428 every day. You shouldn't have to change anything with the control panel - what you'll want to do is select the 428 as the input source within the program you're trying to use.

As for using the 428 Manager and tuner - what exactly do you mean by you can't get the input to work? What are you running through the 428? Which input? How are you monitoring?

Is the 428 hooked up through a USB hub? It needs to be plugged directly into your Mac.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head... to make things easier, try to be as specific as possible in what steps you've taken and what happened. There should be an easy solution.
