Tascam FW-1884/FE-8 question

[EpluribusUnum]

I'm hoping there are still some FW-1884/FE-8 users here.

I have the FW-1884 and a couple FE-8's and they seem to be working fine in Cakewalk.  There is an issue I'm trying to resolve however.

On the FW-1884 to arm a track for recording, you hold down the REC key and press the Select key for the track you want to arm.  This works fine on the 1884, but not on the FE-8.  If I hold down the REC key on the 1884 and then press a Select key on an FE-8, it won't arm the track. 

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Shoot.  I just answered my own question.  I was using the devices in Mackie mode.  I just realized the old Sonar plug-in from Tascam still works in Cakewalk.  Running the 1884 in Native mode seems to work perfectly.  The Master fader is even doing what it's supposed to.

@EpluribusUnum Glad you are STILL getting use out of those. That was a great unit for me for 10+ years! I wish they had made a newer version, I think there was a market for it.
