I don't believe it's possible. I think the need is for 64 bit drivers which Tascam never made. I heard some talk of getting Frontier Design to do them custom (they designed the 1884) but it was only talk. Lots of folks in that boat. I had modded mine with new op amps and really loved the mic pres.

Hi Mrgskeys,.... I heard of the group trying to pay something towards developing the 64 bit drivers for the Tascam FW1884. I have sent an email to FrontiersDesign to see whether they can sell the drivers to us. Have you any further information about it or was it just talk with no realisation.

Please keep me posted.

I'm interested too - I have one of these in storage gathering dust right now.
Cheers,

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

Track down the threads on this forum on the Tranzport and Faderport, and ask the principals in those threads (our founder and fearless leader James Steele among them) how they did it.
