TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes
DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—I/O-OUTPUT selection
New mixing (snapshot 001)
• TDIF 1, TDIF 2, and TDIF 3 assigned to chan-
nels 1 through 24 (return).
• MIC/LINE inputs 1-8 assigned to channels 25
through 32 (input).
• Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
returns for Aux 3 through 6. Assignable returns
assigned directly to ST via the
ASSIGN page.
• Effects (1, 2) returns assigned directly to ST via
the
ASSIGN
page.
• All channel buss assignments off, and channels
assigned to ST with direct off.
• Aux 1-2 sent to the stereo buss, stereo linked,
with all pans at center.
Similar to the previous mix snapshot, 24 returns are
immediately available, but in this case, the full chan-
nel facilities, including EQ, are available for the
eight mic/line inputs. Working this way also provides
more external effect capabilities. Mic/line inputs 9-
16 are still sent to Aux 1-2 and the outputs of the
internal effects as well as the assignable returns are
assigned directly to the stereo buss.
Overdub 17-24 (snapshot 002)
• Channels 1-4 set as inputs (MIC/LINE 1 through
4).
• Channels 1-2 assigned to buss 1-2, channels 3-4
assigned to buss 3-4.
• Effects 1, 2 (L, R) returns assigned to channels 5
through 8 (input).
• TDIF 3 assigned to channels 9-16.
• TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 assigned to channels 17-32.
• Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
return.
• Channels 5 through 32 assigned only to ST and
set to unity gain.
With TDIF tracks 1-16 assigned to the second fader
layer (channels 17-32), the first fader layer (1-16) is
used for four mic/line inputs, the returns from the
two internal effects units, and the returns from the
third return group (tracks 17-24). This is ideal for
overdubbing solo parts, etc. to tracks 17-24 over the
16 backing tracks. This snapshot also gives you the
resources to record a vocal track dry, yet monitor the
vocal with reverb in the cue mix.
Recording 1-16 (snapshot 003)
• Channels 1-16 set as MIC/LINE inputs.
• TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 assigned to channels 17
through 32 as returns.
• Channels 17-32 assigned only to ST (minimum
gain).
• Channels 1 through 16 assigned as direct outputs
(ST off).
• Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
return.
This allows you to record and monitor the first 16
tracks of a multitrack session, using the first and sec-
ond fader layers. Since the channel outputs are all
direct-to-track, the second fader layer controls the
levels of the tape returns to the stereo buss (and
hence the monitoring). Aux 1-6 can be used as six
mono, or three stereo, studio cue feeds.
