It's 30 years since I had an analogue desk. Digital is useless - who wants to mess about with menus and mice? Mixing desks, like pianos, are physical musical instruments. I'm sold on this geezer👍
What an old fart
This guy rules at explaining
I learned how to do stuff I didn't even know I wanted to do until he showed it to me.
@@bonuscreature When the 24 came out it was advertised (in all intents, and purposes, via unethical sales tactics), as a DAW controller. The 12 isn't even recognized by Studio One.As for the 24, and 16 I lost faith after blowing 1 grand. I called Tascam support, they said it was, Guitar Center said it was. Go watch NAMM when the board wss released
@@bubinga_basher Don't own one, but I have a friend that uses the 16 with Live as an audio interface w/ no issues, but unless there have been firmware updates, only the 12 functions as a controller as well. If you still have it, perhaps another DAW mode setting would work:
czcams.com/video/A_w1VOCsDZE/video.html
@@bonuscreature Thanks. I was told at Sam Ash it was a DAW controller, so I got one. I returned it a couple days later. I'm sure it's good for what it is, but I'll have to go with a Studiolive
Yeah. Absolutely fab presentation!
This is probably the best explanation of a product i've ever seen! Tascam need to pay you a hefty bonus! Every single feature of this desk explained in such an easy to follow, understandable way. Awesome. Off I go to buy one!
What a VP that really knows his product in detail 👌
Well he is the vp is sales so he has too. If he doesn’t know one would.
@@freedomshapes a VP sales usually handles other issues that not product details
@@freedomshapes your spelling diminishes your thoughts
Just got my Tascam 24 and just started useing it to record my bands Triple Album. THE TASCAM 24 is GRRRRR GREAT!!!!
Can I hook this up to my turntables
@@laceyadrian54 Phono levels are different than instrument and line level. Unless a mixer has specific phono inputs you would need a phono amp to bring the signal up to line level and then you could use a line level input on a mixer. Just look for mixers with a phono input built in.
Unless your turntable has a level output already of course.
@@secretsquirrel2 Late to the game here, but couldn't he go into the mic preamp for its gain?
@@RAndrewNeal It is not just gain that is needed. Vinyl needs to have a eq applied to sound correct Usually that is a RIAA eq and that occurs at the phono input of a mixer, receiver or phono preamp. A few turntables have a preamp built in and you can use a line level input in that case.
Now all we need is built in tape emulation and we’re full circle! |*-*|
Ah! Analogue simplicity and experience without the hassle of tape recorder.
Well done.
I've owned my model 24 for about a year now and it does an awesome job. I can't believe how much I missed real knobs. A very versatile machine for the price.
I just ordered one of these. Looks awesome. Question for you....the phantom power seems to be an all-or-nothing thing. Do you find that to be a problem?
@@timmcnair6212 As long as you’re not using ribbon microphones it’s not a problem. You can basically leave phantom power on and plug in any condenser, dynamic microphone or line cable without having to worry about damaging them.
@@hanglider thanks! I've had the Model 24 for a few months, and it's absolutely awesome. Can't recommend it enough.
@@hanglider have you used a Shure SM7B with the Model 24? I just got one of those mics, and I think it may need a preamp.
@@timmcnair6212 I only used SM58 which i think work similarly. People usually get a microphone preamp or a ”mic activator” such as cloud lifter to get that clean and crisp sound out of the SM series mics as you can hear in podcasts or pop songs. The direct signal is fine as well when used with drums.
So happy to see this. I will be ordering next week. I will use this to record but edit on PC and then drop the file back onto the SD card. Much better than dealing with latency and those dreaded clicks and pops.
Picked up a 24 a couple weeks ago, played around and did a full band live off the floor recording, and the results are killer!! an awesome unit for sure! LOVE IT!!!!
Hi .. i was thinking of this over the zoom live track 20 .. for my band. We r six of us. Wanted it to record our practices. CZcams videos and most important use it for live shows .
I use reason 10 ..
How is the sound quality for a live band. If you have an experience on this.
Many thanks ..
@@colindias4820 sound quality is pretty awesome. I personally do all my mixing on the board itself, but its easy to drag and drop files to use with a daw.. we use reaper with all the stock plug-ins and like the results. You can totally use the board for a live show, run your monitors, master outs, even Bluetooth your phone in to play the house music in-between sets.. a total workhorse
How many monitor wedges?
Siiiiick! Can't wait to get one! Would be nice to see some videos of some actual full band recordings.
Tascam is really one of the best audio companies out there
Very helpful....just got the Model 16 and applying all that is on this video. Super suppppport!!
Thanks for the tips bro good job!!! Had mine about a year an Tascam killed it !! Best live recording / jam system ,,user friendly,,just smart ,,,my new brag 🤠🎸
Yay... can't wait to unbox mine that just arrived!!!
Just got one of these and it's a beautiful piece of gear. Covers so many bases.
For this price I want 4 band eq plus hi-mid and low-mid extra knobs to adjust the frequencies..
Looking forward to picking mine up in two weeks.
I got my Model 24 today. AWESOME!
I bought a Mackie ProFX22v3 and received 3 faulty units in a row. I love my Tascam Model 24 !!!
Awesome, we hope you enjoy it!!
what a beautiful product that is
This is a WINNER - no scrolling thru digital menus ACTUAL KNOBS and a built in MULTITRACK DEVICE! I have an old Tascam 24 track board that will feed into this = 36 tracks to onboard SD. Will eliminate racks of patchbays and efx gear for UNDER $1000 Holy Sh!t!
The scribble strip tells you everything you need to know about how fun the Tascam Model 24 is going to be!
Joe is a great man at explaining how to use Tascam recorders... and his patience and knowledge is much appreciated.. I have spoken to Joe about this recorder and my personal thoughts are known to him.... " why did they make a 24 track recorder and give you 16 channels.? how great it would have been if Tascam made a 24 track,,, 24 channel recorder with a 24 channel meter bridge,,, really all they had to do was to reproduce the first 12 channels and make it 24.. add a meter bridge and call it a PRO 24..... I know some of you will rant on about you can use DAW and plug into your computer,, but I dont use a computer for recording,,, I write.. record..mix and release music,,..I hear music..I dont see it,,,, but its nice to see some of you on here are saying they should make a Model 32 ... but please include a meter bridge,,, lets hope Tascam read these comments,,,
Pompous asshole

nice love the analogue mixer
Man. This mixer is jam packed! But just 2 Aux??
Bought this to produce a Christmas EP. It will come on Tuesday. Pretty excited to have this as a mixer and audio interface for a DAW.
How has the experience been . . I use reason 10 and have a band we want to record some songs.
Thanks ..
@@colindias4820 it was pretty smooth as long as you know what you're doing, like setting up the channels in a DAW, running monitors, etc. The hardware and software setup was pretty simple
@@RealAlphaDrumHi. I want to avoid recording simultaneous tracks to an SD card and instead record simultaneous tracks into Pro Tools (or any other DAW). Is this possible?
@@voivodOfficial yes, you can track .wav to an sd card or into a daw. Though daw setup will require the know-how in terms of setting it up. Though you can record direct to the sd then drop the .wav files into your daw multitrack and mix from there.
@@RealAlphaDrum Thank you! I want to bypass the SD card and instead, record simultaneous tracks (i.e. drums) into a Pro Tools session.
Nice demo!
Thank you, Fred Armisen.
Submixer input, well thought.
thank you
4 Band EQ for all channels but with 2 extra Knobs for adjusting the mid frequencies.
This is AWESOME!! I just bought it! 24! REC button for Blutooth track is very helpful when you record an reference song....or inspiring song.... I`m curios about quality of soundcard with VST Instruments ASIO
I can't believe this thing is available for this cost.
I was surprised only 1 fx send.. but this thing is breathtaking either way
Use the other 2 Aux sends to any FX unit of your choice ! ... Now you have 3
there's three mono sends
Why no inserts on all mono channels? That would be the best way to use effects on a per-channel basis. Going through an effect into the mic preamp seems convoluted. What I'd really like is a 32 track recorder/player made to plug into the insert jacks on an analog mixer I already have.
Do you think its possible to get a firmware update to get the Model 24 to Slave to MTC? I know it now can Master but why not the other way around? Would that not make it easier to sync with DAWs as there is no MIDI Clock
When you've recorded to your DAW and wish to play it back through the Tascam, can you assign ANY Tracks ( say the STEREO pairs that are available ) to Monitor ?
I've heard & seen CZcams vids that say you can only use Tracks 1 & 2 ?
I really love the Logic of this hybrid, analog ~ digital mixer
You say you can use the graphic EQ for the main mix of a track to the sd card, it doesn’t effect your head phone mix or control room mix so how would you do this, would u have to mix using the main outs, cheers
Hi, what to do if I want to record tracks whole? Tascam is starting recording when detect input signal, how to record whole track including silence?
One of the things that struck me and dislikes me is that the potentiometer knobs wiggle at the moment you touched them. Clearly seen at 3:05 and 11:06.
This means cheap quality potmeters. When knobs are wiggle, mean they will wear out faster. High quality potential meters are tight and don't wiggle.
Not completely true - what it means is that that the pots are not nutted down on the top panel. The quality of the potentiometers used are very good audio pots. It was a matter of controlling cost to not use top and bottom mounted nuts
@@JoeStopkaMusic In that case it's still not the best. When pots are not mounted on the top panel and can wiggle, they can worn out faster. Besides that, the pots are soldered on the print and when they are not mounted on the top panel.. you will balast the print and solder point more. I have enough experience with these problems. You have to handle extra more careful with these kind of constructions!
@@jerrykooyman that is a matter of opinion, there are hundreds of mixers without top nutted pots. We have made and sold thousands of these without any potentiometer failures
@@Alongfortheride693 I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed this.
Little question?
Can you tell me if the EQ settings are saved in the recording or can you have the sound without adjustment?
THANK YOU
yes..
So are the channel EQs only pre-fader, like the Soundcraft MTK 22?
Or do the channel EQs affect the signal in post-fader as well?
Also, only two mono aux? If I wanted to use an outboard compressor, would I need to dedicate one aux for left and the other for right channels in order to send stereo feed to the comp from the aux sends?
Soundcraft are insane for not putting inserts into each channel...
Would love to buy one but I’m looking at other options because they aren’t in stock anywhere. I had one on back order but the date there were supposed to be in got pushed back. Same thing happened with the Motu m4, ended up buying an SSL 2+ because apparently they couldn’t keep up with demand either.
I have one brand new I'm selling... pm me
how do you insert a PEDAL on the EFX ? can't seem to figure it out even with SPLITTER CABLE....
Get one of these and use it on Channels 1 or 2 www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/STP202--hosa-stp-202-insert-cable-1-4-inch-trs-to-dual-1-4-inch-ts-6-foot?mrkgcl=28&mrkgadid=3277456355&rkg_id=0&MSN&PPC&Shopping+-+Core+-+Accessories&ProductType2%3DCablesProductType3%3DInsert+%2F+Y+Cables&campaigntype=shopping&campaign=aaShopping+-+Core+-+Accessories&adgroup=Accessories+-+Cables&placement=bing&creative=78477698476415&device=c&matchtype=e&msclkid=0f2d5de235f71bc1831703f5fba67f80&gclid=CK6xmYHs9-YCFYiBxQIdRJMLPw&gclsrc=ds
@tascam
I wonder if there is a surface control to control the daw while your multitracking live into protools or logic? If it does , seriously a gem.
Also!!was wondering if I can connect outboard gear like a neve summing into this and or expand this with other interface to expand inputs like spidif ?
Hello Phinestro Robert! The Model 12 acts as a DAW Controller and can be used as such while the Model 24 is connected to your computer as a USB audio interface.
Yes - you can connect outboard gear to the Model 24. Some of the inputs have an insert on them, or you can route it into any open channel. Send from the sub output or any of the auxes and then route the signal back into your system!
Other interfaces can also be used for expansion, not directly into the Model 24, but it's possible. If you're using a Mac, you can set up an aggregate audio device in the AUDIO/MIDI set up in the "Other" folder in the Launchpad. This can't be done natively on a Windows machine, but third party software can be installed that will allow you to do the same thing.
@@TASCAMUSA Does the PCB have places for insert jacks on the rest of the mono channels? I may be interested in modding my own unit to get the most out of it. I'm on the fence of buying one, and the insert jacks are a reason why I haven't decided on it yet.
hi, looks like a great board. Can you please tell me if you are able to mix for a live performance, record in logic and in logic mix for a live stream at the same time? thank you
You can do a live mix and have the inputs feed tracks in Logic to mix for a live stream
I'm John I have the model 24. Just starting with this mixer. I have a question about gain.
How do you set the gain of a channel. Press PFL but i do not see on the mix any reaction on the meters (no green/yellow/red) sohow to do it right?
Customer Support would be happy to assist. You can send them an email at custser@teac.com
If I’m using model 24 as an audio interface to stream On Facebook live; which settings do I need to set on the mixer(using two mic inputs) and which channels would be best to plug the two mics (vocal and mic’d acoustic) into? One of the stereo channels?
Update to the latest firmware version, which is 1.60 and available for download at: tascam.com/us/product/model_24/download
In the menu of the new firmware go to System and set the USB audio mode to Stereo Mix. That will send any audio sent to the Main fader to the USB outs, which is best when live streaming
Hi, I've got 3 questions:
1) Are the monitor & fx sends pre or post fader?
2) Are the monitor & fx send connectors mono or stereo?
3) Is it possible to use the XLR and the TRS inputs of a channel both simultaneosly? Or is it one or the other? How about the stereo channels?
Thanks in advance!
1. Mon 1 and Mon 2 are pre fader, the FX out is post fader.
2. The monitor and FX outs are mono.
3. You could only use one or the other, when you plug in an XLR connection it significantly lowers the signal from the 1/4 inch input.
I am playing with the mixer like usb interface, but my recordings are low. It is mandatory to add gain about 70% for "normal" recordings. I remember with other usb interfaces dedicated that scenario was not needed. Why do you think about this scenario?
Thanks
I've been using my Tascam DP-24SD recorder for about 3 years now and really like it. I wonder how this Model 24 recorder compares to my DP-24SD.
Hello Ira! Glad to hear you like your DP-24SD! While there are some similarities between the two units, they're still completely different beasts. As you know, the DP-24SD is meant to act as a standalone recording device - basically a complete studio setup conveniently packaged into one great piece of gear on your desktop.
The Model 24 has three functions: a standalone multitrack recorder, a complete mixer, and a USB Audio interface. Because it's primary function is threefold, the DP-24SD has a few more features for producing a track start to finish (i.e. the mastering section).
The Model 24 has incredibly clean and transparent preamps, easy-to-use one knob compression, precision EQ's, and more - all in a classic channel strip so many audiophiles are familiar with. The built-in effects processor enhances signal by being able to blend in effects with an aux control. While it's standalone MTR, the premise of being an audio interface and a live/rehearsal mixer adds an extra dimension to the Model 24.
@@TASCAMUSA Thanks for the info. I am 62 years old now and grew up with analog in the 70s. The DP-24SD is a digital recorder if I recall correctly. I do like it very much and have become very proficient at using it and recording my songs. I mainly use Shure SM 57 mics for my guitar recording (using either my Marshall JCM900 or Fender guitar amps(yes, I use real guitar amps and real drums) and other Shure mics for acoustic guitar and I actually use the Sennheiser e902 bass microphone for the bass drum) . Like I said, I'm kinda still stuck in the 70s mod of recording and recorded in some great studios when I was younger that only had analog back then. Digital is not really my thing nor is Protools or using my computer to add tone or effects and as far as interface....no idea what that even is. LOL. I am more into really playing my guitars, basses, percussion (congas, tambourine, shakers...) and the only effect I might use during the mix is tone(bass, treble, mids and reverb here and there.....). I like a more natural sounding recording and not so much enhanced. What's wrong with sounding like yourself?? I have made some great recordings just using the Tascam DP-24SD. But was considering trying the Model 24 recorder. Does the Model 24 still use SD cards and can I still do all the mixing to the SD card just like the DP-24SD? I really only use my computer for making CD copies. I plug the SD card into my computer when I finish mixing and mastering my songs and then can make CD copies easily within minutes. Are CDs obsolete at this point? LOL I am such a dinosaur! LOL
:)
Can an external screen be used with this mixer for a better view of the the fader levels for recording
Thats my question
Tascam - The switch between live, usb and card doesn’t make it clear but are you able to record to the card while live tracking a DAW via usb at the same time? I’m doing some live recordings via usb now but would love to have an SD recording as a backup.
Yes, you can record to your DAW and the SD card at the same time
As of now many devices come with Bluethooth 5.0
Hence, It is advisable to upgrade this Bluethooth 4.0 to 5,0.
Because it has many advantages over Bluethooth 4.0
Can you upgrade Tascam Model 24 with Bluethooth 5.0 and release the product to market.?
thanks for the video. i've been looking at this for days to see it is what i need.
The workflow i had in my mind; drumcomputer and synths/sampler to the tascam 24, record jams in seperate tracks on the daw (doesnt record compression or eq? but it does record fades?) - edit the jam in the daw - send back to the tascam and record with compression/eq per track to a final stereo mix. this should be possible i guess? is this how the tascam could work? any user experience? thanks in advance!
nvm, ill find out next week when its arrived :)
@AllYouKnowIsWrong it works like that. record all tracks, pan em into the grid on the daw and edit. now i just need talent :)
@AllYouKnowIsWrong sure, it depends on your daw.
Is there anyway to print the effects to a DAW? Is there a way to route the output of the built-in stereo effect onto a stereo channel so to be able to record the effect in your DAW?
The effect on the Model 24 is it's own channel so there isn't a way to send the effect and the individual channel to the DAW. You could record the Main output by creating a track within your DAW and have that track listening to input 23/24 ( which the main mix) but that will capture any channels sent to the Main, including the effect.
Hello, on this table Tascam model 24 can you mic the drums with dynamic mics and condenser mics at the same time to be able to make a live recording?
Hello Rubinho Jack! Yes, you can used dynamics and condensers at the same time.
the only thing that holds me back from going with this board over its competitor the zoom Live Trak L, is the zooms multiple headphone outs, is there a way to provide each band member a custom headphone mix using what's available or another piece of gear?
You can use the Aux outs and Sub puts to connect to a headphone distribution amp
To TASCAM OFFICIAL: I have been using your DP-24SD recorder for the past 3 years now and was wondering if I upgrade to this Model 24 recorder, can I plug my SD cards that I used to record previously from your DP-24SD recorder into the new Model 24 recorder? Would those SD cards be compatible with the Model 24? Would I still be able to go back and edit and overdub on those previously recorder SD cards, or would I have to use all new SD cards and record all new songs using the Model 24 recorder and not be able to use the previously used SD cards?
Hi thank you you for your video. Can i used cubase 5 with the tascam model 12?
The Model 12 works well with Cubase
So the SMPTE is only through USB? Does this mean no signal is going through the channels ? I wanted to use a Midiman Syncman or Philip Rees TS1 for syncing to MIDI but if its only usb they wont work. I had such high hopes for this mixer but as time goes on its turning into a huge paperweight..
They always turn out to be less than stellar. It's quite simply because the companies refuse to listen to what the customer wants and just keep on doing the same thing over and over again. I mean how many times have they been told that we want to be able to 'print' the eq etc to daw on each channel as it's being sent via usb ? How many times ?? HOW MANY TIMES ??? They don't listen and they don't care and they keep putting out the same inadequate thing over and over with the same mistakes and lack of development. How many times have we told them we need a monitor out so we can actually see the screen properly ? HOW MANY TIMES ??? They don't listen. SMPTE via bnc for compatibility with the rest of the world should be obvious ! You can ask, but they won't listen.
Hi, What multitrack signal does the DAW receive? Is it post fader and post EQ? IE can you print your mix in multitrack form with your mixer channel tweaks intact? (same for model 16?)
The individual channel USB sends are post gain and compressor. You can also record the Main output over USB by setting up a track within your DAW and have it listen to input 23/24 for the Model 24 or 15/16 for the Model 16
@@TASCAMUSA Thanks!
I have a dp-03 which I use everyday, especially the mastering function. I have a UA LA610MKII and a Warm Bus Comp. Thinking of using the 610 at the start of the chain into the Model24. Is it possible to sidechain the Bus Comp into the Model24 to print the mix onto the Dp-03 for mastering? Trying my best not to use a computer and go DAWless.
Hello Ivan! Yes, you could definitely do that. Run the output from the Model 24 to the bus comp, then run that signal into the DP-03 would definitely get the job done. Just watch those gain levels so you don't accidentally distort the signal while bouncing!
Great demo. One question though: Will EQ and FX by default be printed to the stereo master/mixdown file?
The EQ and effects will be recorded to the stereo mix recording
@Fifty Cycle NO - the DAW and the Multi-track only get the Mic Pre and the Comp. The EQ is used for Mixdown on the console but recorded on the L/.R Master - tracks 23 and 24.
@@JoeStopkaMusic I wish these mixers would include the EQ when recording.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios it's odd, ideally should control DAW's to like the model 12 can.
Can I take said sd card and pull it out of the unit, plug it into my computer then access the files in my d.a.w.?
Yes you can
Any plans of making a Model 32? that would be great, and if you could add 3 subgroups that really would help.
does this have a pitch control for playback ?
Hello Mikel It does not. If you have further questions, feel free to contact our Customer Support Dept or review the product details in the video description.

Can I use the Bluetooth channel as PEM (Personal Ear Monitor) so the band can use their own phone and use it as their own ear monitors?
The bluetooth is only for receiving signal from a bluetooth device like streaming songs from your phone/tablet
Does it function as a normal mixer for live play also?
Andre Shephard yes
Would a thunderbolt 3 interface allow thunderbolt 3 recording? I want the lowest lag obviously and with 24 usb channels, I don't think I can trust it.
The USB 2.0 transfer speed is enough for 24 channels of audio, you can get a thunderbolt adapter to use with the Model 24 but the transfer speed will still be at USB 2.0.
Can you add effects to the aux ? So performer can hear the reverb, compression on their vocal in ear ?
hi! considering to buy this one, but i'm a bit confused about auxes. how can i use my own external fx devices or guitar pedals? and there is only one aux knob for each channel. at the moment i have only soundcraft epm6, it has two aux in/out and it's possible to send two different fx to each channel, even to send one fx to other's channel for modulating it. down side is i have to use seperate channel for each aux fx. so, what's possible on model24?
channels one and two have insert jacks so you can get a breakout cable to your fx pedals and back. plus mon 1 and 2 outs can be used as (mono) fx sends.
@@GoodAfternoonDave !thanks a lot. now i see it is pretty intuitive and simple :)
I love the looks and it ticks a lot of boxes for me, but I don't need headphone/monitor mixes, and instead would absolutely need post fader effect sends. Maybe I am wrong, but wouldn't it have been trivial to add an option (switch, dip-switch, firmware) to use the monitor subs as aux/effect sends instead? If I understand this thing correctly, I only have one effects send, and that either goes to the built-in effects or one can override this with an external device, correct?
It has 2 Auxes that can be used as effects sends and one FX send that feeds the internal effects or an external effect
@@TASCAMUSA are you talking about the monitors? Because they are pre-fader. Or did I miss something?!
@@fablesofsilence The Aux/Mon outs are pre fader, that is correct
@@TASCAMUSA thanks. Can this be modded?

is it possible to use it as a computer soundcard? I tried to connect via usb but no sound comes out of the speakers...
The Model 24 does act as an audio interface. To hear playback set the mode for channel 1 and 2 to PC and press the Main button down on those channels
@@TASCAMUSA thank you ☺️
When using Logic Pro as a DAW, do the TASCAM faders control the Logic Pro Faders?
I believe (could be wrong) that you need a didgital mixer/DAW Controller. Something like the QCon Pro USB-Midi Controller Station. That's what I use to control Cubase. Works very well for controlling mixer and plugin parameters in DAW.
@@MatthewRecko There is no mention of Mackie or HUI protocols on Sweetwater's website for this mixer, therefore I would assume, like you, it is not capable of acting as a DAW control surface. If it was they would be shouting it from the rooftops like they are for the Tascam 12.
Fin Corrigan apparently the last firmware upgrade made daw controls possible.
I just bought this mixer for a live stage application. The only thing that worries me is that every time the guy touches the knobs with his finger, I can see it wiggling left to right or up and down. I'm a little worried that these are flimsy knobs that won't stand up.
The knobs are pretty sturdy and they don't require a lot of torque to get them to move. Personally, mine travels all over with me and gets used at both live events, the rehearsal space, and in my home recording studio. The knobs have withstood the test of time and travel and keep on going!
Hi..
Was trying to get one for my band for live and recordings on CZcams and r streaming
How has the model 24 been for you. .
Thanks
will there ever be an update to connect a screen or laptop to see the playback of recorded tracks on a bigger screen and not the inbuilt small screen? Im about to order the 24 to link with my MPC Live2
Hello! The Model 24 doesn't feature any sort of video output option, so an update to the current Model Mixers wouldn't support any sort of screen mirroring function.
@@TASCAMUSA thanks for that . Still an epic bit of hybrid design so it’s fits my needs with my MPC LIVE
I'm near novice - old Portastudio cassette recorder way back, Coated MR78 more recently. This will record, correct? So why would I sent tracks to a computer / software recorder?
The Model 24 does record to an SD card. You would transfer your recordings to a computer to email to friends, upload to CZcams or Facebook.
Can you use this as a soundboard for live shows and record the performance at the same time?
Yes you can

@@robsalsich8278 you can connect your speaker system to the Main outs
I've had this thing for 6 months. I've never recorded, or used DAW before.
1st question....I have Abelton live for my laptop. I'm only recording drum tracks for now. If I want to tweak my drum tracks through Abelton, do I just hook up the 24 to my laptop? (Or, is there something I need to download)?
2....I've been using the Yamaha EAD10, and running it into the last stereo channel. I can't separate my drun mix the drumless tracks I'm recording onto (to make drum covers). Should I be running the Yamaha EAD somewhere other than the stereo channel, as the Yamaha is a stereo mic/trigger device? (I'm also using live mics on all my drums, and when I do nail the take, it sounds great)
I probably just confused anyone who read my post, but I'm hopeful someone will know what I'm saying, and trying to do.
Hello, I have a question about the model 24… would a patchbay make a difference? Or is it not needed? I’m very new to this. Thanks for your answer.
Hello! A patchbay could be useful in a lot of different situations, however, it isn't a necessity. For example, if you're planning on using a lot of outboard gear (i.e. compressors, preamps, external effects) then yes - a patchbay would make it very easy to connect all that gear to different channels on the fly. But, if you're not planning on going that particular route, then you can connect your mic cables directly to the unit itself.
Just got a couple of questions. Does it have a built in click track? Could I use it for reamping?
Can you do auto punch-in and punch-out on this machine? Thanks.
You can do auto punch on the Model 24
Here is another good setup scenario- if you have some outboard gear- in my case I do- hardware reverbs and other processing. Use fx out-Jack -mono send-disable internal effects- fx out Jack goes to your headphones distribution amp- I use a beringhear-and use a hardware reverb for it for talent-then I use Mon-1 and 2- sends to feed a stereo hardware effect chain in my case I run in series to a compressor-a saturation and widening unit and then into an aphex model 204-and return the stereo feed to channel 19/20-set to live input for a parallel type mix.
For my hardware reverb send I use the ‘sub-out’ on a per channel need-engage it on any track you want hardware reverb-it sends to the stereo sub out fader and jacks-I use the Bluetooth channel as the reverb return. Any Mix of verb to dry can be done on the reverb unit itself. In my case I have 3 hardware reverbs- I run the stereo out to (2) passive splitters 2 in 4 out by galaxy audio-39 bucks each-then feed each hardware reverbs inputs separately-at the split- the re combine them to stereo for the return to Tascam using a Radial KeyLargo keyboard mixer-this way you have control of each reverbs volume- to create a dense exciting multiple reverb stereo return or turn any of them out of the mix. To taste,
It only eats up 2 stereo returns leaving 18 open tracks 12 mono-3 stereo-which in a traditional situation w/ perhaps some ‘bouncing of tracks’ should be plenty. Hell most hit records pre 1980 were 16 to 24 tracks period-and 8 track in the early 70’s and backwards.
Any outboard gear can be used-it’s the -routing- I have that makes the Tascam Model 24 in my case very usable and flexible as a standalone mix-record setup- In my case I have an RME BabyFace Pro FS-interface and an iPad Pro-I run my Mains Outs to the BabyFace as my two track master mix recorder so I do all final mastering inside an pad daw-I use Auria Pro with some plugins for sweetening as needed-if needed-and then export via audio share app to Postive Grids Final Touch App. Then save that mix in my desired format via that app.
Just received yesterday. Question. Can you lock in a mix? As is in take a picture. Even without flying faders, you don’t want to change songs and have to go back and Re mix. Otherwise I guess you actually take a picture.
There is not a way to save a template as to where faders were in a mix
@@TASCAMUSA and that's the beauty of the analog desk... it forces you to get it done. I love it.. I desperately NEED to be forced to finish... it's my biggest problem.
when i export to sd the wav is too small and the mix is too quiet???? why is this because this mix is at the right level on the tascam
Do your stereo mix recording again and turn up the levels so that they are almost overloading, that should make the mix recording louder
I noticed the Model 16/24 do not have a DAW controller function like the Model 12? is there a plan to have one in the future? I love my Model 12 but I need a 16/24 with Controller abilities like the 12
The Model 12 is a digital mixer, so it has the capability to act as a control surface. The 16 and 24 are analog mixers so they are not able to be control surfaces
@@TASCAMUSA sorry if the question sounds obvious but when you say the model 12 is a digital mixer it means the eq and comp are digital and not analog? does the 16 and 24 eq and comps work different? 16 and 24 are analog circuit and 12 are digital processing?
@@arthurreckelberg6578 Yes, the Model 12 is completely digital so the compressors and EQ are digital, whereas the Model 16 and 24 are all analog circuitry
@@TASCAMUSA thats such a important information. thank you! of course I have the digital recorder but if I want to go, for example on the studio, full analog with the reocording and master tape, it's good that the eq and comp are analog as well! Not my business but would be cool if that information was more clear. Thanks for the answer!
this is fucking amaziiiingggg!!!!!
Did anybody had any problems? It seem that on my model, multijog press, doesnt work..? Solution? Mechanical problem?
That might be an issue with that physical knob, which will need repair. You can call us at 323-726-0303 for further help.
There is absolutely a market for NEW Tascam tape machines...(such as the 388, cough, cough)...
I have been struggling to learn to use the Tascam Model 24 as in the vids there is plenty of "walk thru" but little "how to". Applying tracks to a SUB mix* then patching a stereo track**...
Well... *How do tell if they've been "applied"? ...
**How do I hear a playback?
Please give Tascam support a call when in front of the unit and they should be able to help you with any questions on using the product, their number is 323-727-7617
THANKS
Can it plug straight into my computer? Do I still need my Presonus Audiobox in between or can I just plug right in with this?
Hello Rob! You wouldn't need anything in between the Model 24 and your computer other than a USB cable. It's a fully functional USB Audio Interface, which can be plugged directly into your computer and you can start recording or streaming quickly!
I'm trying to run a headphone mix through MON1 and it only comes out of the left channel. I am using a stereo cable. What am I doing wrong?
The Mon 1 output is a mono output, you may want to connect that out to a headphone distribution amp which would be able to take a mono signal and send it to both sides of the headphones
@@TASCAMUSA I am using a headphone amp. I also used a mono cable, and it still came out only the left side. Are both MON1 & 2 outputs designed to be used TOGETHER or something?
@@saftovooey4569 I would suggest contacting the maker of the headphone distribution amp to ask how to use a mono signal on their device.
@@saftovooey4569 plug your headphones in the headphone socket. Mon1&2 are both mono for foldback speakers.
Can you use the blue tooth capability for interviews for a podcast? So the caller can hear in studio guest and vice versa? I am looking for a good live stream podcast mixer that allows for a phone connection for call in interviews.
Hello! You should look into the TASCAM Mixcast 4 - it's been created with podcasters in mind and does everything you've just described.
Can you print the Bluetooth in to a channel ? Record the Bluetooth to one of the channels. Can I assign the Bluetooth to a channel and record it ?
The screen is very small Is there any way you can see your tracks on a computer screen
can it link with logic or pro tools ?
Hello! Yes, if you are using the Model 24 as a USB audio interface, the waveforms will appear in your DAW. The Model 24 does not offer the option to see waveforms on the built-in screen.
PER FAVORE SI PUO' AVERE IN ITALIANO? GRAZIE
Should I get the 16 or 24? Only 100$ difference.. Does 24 have more features other then track?
it also has smaller faders
More inputs, mic pres, compressors on the Model 24. Faders are smaller on the Model 16 but it's rack mountable where as the Model 24 is not. Very similar Models. Comes down to size and how many inputs you would like!
TASCAMUSA that’s what she said
I have a question if anyone could help that would be great, a majority of “mixer controllers” look rather cheap. With that said does anyone know if this tascam mini console can actually connect with a daw for example Logic Pro X and be used with that software as a controller ?
The Model 24 does work as an audio interface for Logic but it will not act as a control surface for a DAW
TASCAMUSA What about Ableton? Does it control in that? Same goes for the 16 model?
@@MrGezzh The Model 16 and 24 do not act as a control surface for any software. They will act as an audio interface for Ableton though.
@@TASCAMUSA Thank you for the reply
@@TASCAMUSA can a firmware update make DAW control possible for the larger models?
