2 - Using TMCompanion : Timecode/Transport window Timecode/Transport window Use the Window -> Timecode/Transport menu item to bring up the transport window. NOTE To use the timecode display, you must use the preferences to set the MIDI port used by the MTC (see "MIDI Time Code" on page 8). This window has two appearances; a fixed size and a resizeable appearance. Change between them by clicking in the timecode area. Click on the on-screen transport buttons, which work in the same way as the physical transport keys on the TASCAM DM. Note the "return to start" button which has no physical counterpart. As timecode is received through the appropriate MIDI port, the display updates. Figure 6: Fixed size (top) and resizeable (bottom) transport window Meter bridge This allows all channels, all busses and all aux sends, along with the stereo buss, to be metered. Select Meter Bridge from the Windows menu. Figure 7: Meter Bridge window Note that this window comes in three "fold-out" sections, accessed by the triangular controls on the left of the window. Figure 7, Meter Bridge window shows all sections displayed. The top control section of the window allows the meter settings to be made: the type can be either Regular (peak) or Average (more similar to VU meter response). Sliders allow the Meter Decay Rate and Peak Hold Time to be set and a check box provides Infinite peak hold time. The Clear Peaks button resets pesak hold displays. The pickoff points for the meters can then be set. For channels 1 through 48 (DM-4800) or 1 through 32 (DM-3200), the choices are: Input, Pre Gate, Post Gate, Pre Insert and Post Fader.

For channels 49 through 64 (DM-4800) or 33 through 49 (DM-3200), thse choices are restricted to Input or Post Fader. For the busses (and aux sends) the choices are: Pre Comp (compressor), Pre Fader and Post Fader. 6 TASCAM DM TMCompanion software guide
