TASCAM FW-1082 Owner’s Manual 9
Software application notes
Since much of the FW-1082’s operation pertains
directly to your DAW software, TASCAM has pre-
pared a series of application notes on using the FW-
1082 with a number of different DAW programs.
These Application Notes are included on the FW-
1082 CD-ROM, and are available online in PDF for-
mat on the TASCAM Web site.
To read them, you will need an application capable of
displaying PDF files, such as the Adobe Acrobat
Reader (version 4 or above), available for free down-
load from the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com.
Since software applications and operating systems
often evolve and develop after their initial release, we
suggest you check the TASCAM site regularly for
updated information. It’s also a good idea to check
your software manufacturer’s Web site regularly, for
information and version updates.
Special notes for touch-sensitive faders
The usual rules regarding precision electronic equip-
ment naturally apply to the FW-1082. In addition,
note the following that apply to the touch-sensitive
faders:
The faders need a human finger to operate their
touch-sensitivity. Do not use a pencil, ruler, etc. to
operate them. Even using your fingernails may not
activate the touch-sensitivity.
The humidity and temperature of your environment
affects the touch-sensitivity of the faders. Under nor-
mal working conditions you should experience no
issues. However, extremes of temperature and/or
humidity may sometimes cause operational prob-
lems.
