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.

[@TASCAMUSA]

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.

[@Floridafisherman5000]

@@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 :)

[@jerrykooyman]

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.

[@JoeStopkaMusic]

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

[@jerrykooyman]

@@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!

[@TASCAMUSA]

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!

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.

[@TASCAMUSA]

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.

[@TASCAMUSA]

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.

[@stevencirile]

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.

None of these tutorials seem to answer the simple questions. Can you record the unprocessed (direct out signals) at the same time as using the effects out front of house? Thsnks in advance to anyone who might know this information.

[@TASCAMUSA]

Hello! Great question - in short, yes. The FX return is sent to the MAIN MIX L/R and MON OUTPUT 1/2 buses. The individual channels will be recorded without effects processing.

[@mrthunder8190]

No one ever explains how to get your final mix to another computer that houses you song library...Do you just pull the SD card, take it to a computer with an SD card reader and upload it that way? Seems important, if you're using the M24 as a stand-alone system. Is there a way to put the final mix on a USB stick, then take it to another computer? I'm no computer guy, spent 30 years in the analog recording biz, so this is challenging me...Disclaimer: I'm not a complete idiot - I learned how to use ProTools very quickly, seemed quite intuitive. Any comments or suggestions on the 24 would be welcome.

[@TASCAMUSA]

Hello MrThunder! You have a few options for transferring your mix to a computer: 1.) Remove the SD card and place it in a computer with an SD card reader (or use an SD to USB adapter), or 2.) Connect the Model 24 to a computer via USB cable and transfer the mix (or any other files from the Model 24) that way. If you have a computer or laptop within close proximity to the Model 24 this is probably the easiest way.

[@mrthunder8190]

@@TASCAMUSA Thanks, appreciate the reply!

[@synthesisandrelaxation9718]

How do you solo a track while mixing???

[@TASCAMUSA]

Hello! On the very bottom of each channel is a button labeled PFL. This is effectively the solo button. Also, PFL stands for Pre Fader Level - so, you'll be monitoring everything on that channel before the audio hits the fader (so you won't be able to make level/volume adjustments which listening in PFL). In the master section, just above the MON 1 fader is the PFL/AFL master level knob. After engaging the PFL button on the channel, you can change the volume of the signal you're monitoring with the PFL/AFL master knob.

[@georgewellington2444]

I have an focusrite Scarlett can i connect this mixer to it

[@TASCAMUSA]

Yes, you can connect the mixer to your interface. However, the Model 24 is also a USB audio interface which gives you more channels than any existing product in the Scarlett line.

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

There is absolutely a market for NEW Tascam tape machines...(such as the 388, cough, cough)...

[@oinkooink]

Can you print the board eq? Or is it just a headphone reference eq?

[@TASCAMUSA]

EQ can printed during mix down on the Model 24.

[@jdoswaldproductionsllc9558]

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?

[@ionianechoes]

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!

[@TASCAMUSA]

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.

[@georgianwindow]

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 ?

[@TASCAMUSA]

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.

[@bilkun]

Does it work with Apple M1 chips?

[@TASCAMUSA]

Yes it does!

[@bilkun]

@@TASCAMUSA Amazing! Thanks

[@MrWindmills]

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

[@TASCAMUSA]

Do your stereo mix recording again and turn up the levels so that they are almost overloading, that should make the mix recording louder

[@mrfeenix1]

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..

[@mordokch]

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.

[@koeky1000]

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!

[@koeky1000]

nvm, ill find out next week when its arrived :)

[@koeky1000]

@AllYouKnowIsWrong it works like that. record all tracks, pan em into the grid on the daw and edit. now i just need talent :)

[@koeky1000]

@AllYouKnowIsWrong sure, it depends on your daw.

[@Floridafisherman5000]

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?

[@fademan]

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?

[@redlightplumbing1529]

went over everything EXCEPT Phantom Power !!! ...... does it to go all XLR ??? WHATS IT ALL ABOUT ????

[@TASCAMUSA]

Hello! Phantom Power provides +48V to condenser microphones (which need power in order to operate). When the Phantom Power switch is engaged, the power will be supplied across all XLR inputs simultaneously. Dynamic microphones are safe from the effects of this, but not all ribbon microphones can handle it - so, be sure your ribbon mics are safe!

[@totalSLACK]

HEY! super important question! Are the inputs ASSIGNABLE to tracks, or is XLR Input 1 ONLY able to go to Track 1? say I have a Microphone plugged into input 8, and I record a vocal track to 8. Now do I have to unplug the mic from 8 and put it in input 9 to record on Track 9, or is it possible to assign Input 8 to recording Track 9?

[@TASCAMUSA]

All the inputs on the Model 24 are tied to their respective channels. So, input one goes to channel one and so on.

[@totalSLACK]

@@TASCAMUSA NICE. That's actually HUGE. Do you see adding that function, much exactly like the way the DP-03SD works? Seeing as the display is almost the same, id think adding the function could be "easy" for y'all. I actually almost sold my DP-24 assuming the Model 24 would have the assign function... phew!

[@TASCAMUSA]

@@totalSLACK To be honest, probably not. That would require a whole new product. This is because the Model 24 is an analog mixer and it was designed with the inputs tying directly to their respective channels.

[@totalSLACK]

@@TASCAMUSA wow, thanks for the info! i do plan on getting a Model 16 for a mixer/interface, I'm just not gonna get rid of the DP-24. Thanks a whole lot!

[@kjellarnenordli6340]

Great demo. One question though: Will EQ and FX by default be printed to the stereo master/mixdown file?

[@TASCAMUSA]

The EQ and effects will be recorded to the stereo mix recording

[@JoeStopkaMusic]

@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.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

@@JoeStopkaMusic I wish these mixers would include the EQ when recording.

[@mmhcreates]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios it's odd, ideally should control DAW's to like the model 12 can.

[@charleshill9649]

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 KZbin or Facebook.

[@johns1159]

@@TASCAMUSA Thanks for the additional info. I finally did get it to work. I discovered that even though I had the Model 24 driver active and present, when I booted up Studio One, it defaulted me to the WIN10 audio default. Also Studio One didn't seem to recognize the full name of my driver / audio interface. When I looked at the list of available interfaces I found one called "Model Mixer" at the bottom of a long list of pre-configured driver profiles for Presonus audio devices. I just selected the Model Mixer and set up up as a default I/O profile. All 24 ins and master outs were present. I will go back in and check the additional info you provided later. Thanks again!

[@fablesofsilence]

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?

[@TASCAMUSA]

It has 2 Auxes that can be used as effects sends and one FX send that feeds the internal effects or an external effect

[@fablesofsilence]

@@TASCAMUSA are you talking about the monitors? Because they are pre-fader. Or did I miss something?!
