The INPUT tab lets you select analog or digital input for each channel. If you are bringing in digital
sources, the Fs CONVERT button allows you to turn on a sampling rate converter. You can also activate
PHANTOM mic powering for each input.
The SIGNAL PROCESSING tab allows you to reverse the acoustic phase of a given channel, to engage a
low cut filter, or to engage a limiter. You can dial in the variables for the low cut settings for each
channel by pressing the main LowCut Filter button on the left of the screen.
Channel Setup
From the MENU button, select the Channel Setup window. The Channel Setup window is a fast and
convenient way to control the settings for each input channel, and is the best way to work with your
channel settings during a session.
The screen of the Channel setup window shows tabs for input channels 1-4. Selecting the arrow tab on
the right will bring up channels 5-8, and vice versa.
For each channel, you can turn Phantom power on/off; select analog or digital input; engage the phase
reversing tool; engage low cut & adjust the low cut parameters; and engage limiter. The button marked
“REC” will arm or disable the track.
Pressing on the small knob located next to the REC button will activate the (real) knob on the TASCAM
located to the right of the display, marked DATA. That virtual knob on the screen controls the output
level from the channel to the LR master mix, and is linked to the physical DATA knob on the TASCAM.
Next to the virtual output level knob is another virtual knob marked >L/>R. When this virtual knob is
depressed, it becomes linked to the DATA knob. It is the pan control for the output, and determines the
stereo mix to the master left and right tracks.
Note that for film/video production, we very seldom want to create a (seemingly) screen
balanced, stereo 2-track master for the editor to work with. Instead, there are two schools of
thought about how to utilize your 2-track master (live mix) tracks.
