return." Technically a "tape return" is an "input", but understanding the idiosyncrasies of the DM-24 are necessary if one wishes to operate the DM-24 properly. An analog option card might be used to add more analog "inputs" to the DM-24. Even though the benefit for the user is more "inputs", the - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 4
IF-CS/DM (Cascade card w/ cascade cable) $299 • MU-24 (Meter bridge plus cable) $949 • Each of the optional interface cards has 8 channels of I/O. • The IF-TD/DM TDIF option card will be supported with version 2.0. This card does NOT add 8 TDIF inputs. The DM-24 only supports 24 channels of digital - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 5
The IF-CS/DM is a cascade card. To cascade two DM-24s, you must put one cascade card in "SLOT 1" of each DM-24. See the section on "cascading two DM-24s" for more info. • The MU-24 has 26 meters (24 channels plus the stereo buss) and a large time code display. There is a meter menu in the DM-24 that - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 6
tape returns. This presents a problem. Here are a few ways to deal with this scenario: Using AUX 1&2 as the tape return path The DM-24 can use AUX 1&2 as the Faders can be used to control the aux levels making this procedure much easier. Choose Aux 1&2 in the control room section for monitoring. All - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 7
to work. EFFECTS The DM-24 has two internal effects processors. Processor #1 contains the TC Works reverb (over 100 presets) and the Antares Mic and Speaker modeler. TC works reverb and the Antares Speaker modeler cannot be used simultaneously. Processor #2 contains TASCAM effects: • Chorus • Delay - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 8
, internal automation. No computer required. The internal automation of the DM-24 is actually more powerful and easier to use then many large frame consoles used in professional studios. The following mix controls of the DM-24 can be automated: • Fader levels • Mutes • EQ settings: • Gain, Frequency - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 9
jack. There is a list of supported devices on the machine control page. The DM-24 can control multiple devices simultaneously. A standard example would be controlling the transports of a VTR, while arming tracks on a DTRS machine. The IF-AD/DM option card provides lightpipe I/O and an ADAT sync - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 10
represents one MIDI channel. You can use a total of 8 controller pages which would give you access to 8 different MIDI channels. CASCADING TWO DM-24s Two DM-24s can be cascaded together to act as one large console. This requires a cascade option card in each mixer. Cascading allows the two mixers to - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 11
variety of different speakers when mixing. Cascading makes this easy. Cascading two DM-24s provides: • 32 mic pres • 64 channels • 48 channels of TDIF are: Stereo outputs, Buss 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, Aux 1-2, 3-4 or the control room outputs. • TC Works reverb or the Antares mic and speaker modeling - TASCAM DM-24 | Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 12
supported in a future version of firmware.) The IF-AE/DM AES/EBU option card supports HI SPEED in version 1.11. HIGH SPEED can send 2 channels of data at 96K on one AES/EBU cable. The DM-24 snapshots built into ROM on the DM-24. The last page of the DM-24 Quick Guide lists every parameter in each
