A Word About Backup: The world of
computer recording is a complex one.
Particularly on the Windows platform,
the sheer number of possible
configurations of hardware and software
almost guarantee inconsistent results
between users of the same products.

It is with this in mind that we repeat the
time-honored adage: "If it matters, back
it up." Backup programs come in many
shapes and sizes. Especially in systems
optimized for audio, we recommend
drive imaging software as the best
backup solution. Drive imaging software
creates an actual image of your hard
drive; in the event of a crash (or if, for
example, you've installed a new driver
which is conflicting with your existing
setup), a disk imaging application will
allow you restore your system to the last
(presumably working) configuration
you've saved.


The US-428 Users’ Page

As we’ve said, your best and most
current source of information on the US-
428 is the TASCAM website. Linked to
the US-428 Downloads page, you’ll find
driver updates, compatibility information,
troubleshooting documents, and our
Online Users’ Forums. You’ll also find
the Users’ Page, where US-428 owners

can share their own custom controller
maps for various applications.

The Users’ Page is located at:

http://www.tascam.com/products/us428/
DAW_page.cfm

, or linked from the main

US-428 downloads page. We
recommend you check the Users’ Page
for the current list of submissions.

Important note: TASCAM makes no
guarantees for the support of these
applications. Your primary source for
questions and general support will be
the people supplying the applications.
We recommend you check their
websites for information, and that you
email the authors directly with any
questions. Be sure to read the
accompanying documentation before
asking for help.

On the Users’ Page you’ll find mapping
protocols, created by US-428 Users,
which utilize Bome’s MIDI Translator.
As this manual goes to press, support
exists for such applications as Adobe
Premier, Win Amp, Sonic Foundry’s
Vegas and Acid, Windows Media
Player, and several others. As this list is
updated regularly, we recommend you
check the Users’ Page for current
information and updates.
