TASCAM DM-24 Installation and Use DM-24 Basics - Page 7

plugging this signal into the MX-2424 will register 6dB less then if a "balanced" signal were sent to it. To use this solution with other recorders we recommend that the manufacturer is consulted as to what cable to use with their product. For a DA-78HR or DA-38 use ¼" to RCA cables: CU/SU302 6ft. CU/SU303 10ft. CU/SU304 13ft. CU/SU305 16ft. CU/SU307 23ft. The DA-78HR and DA-38 have unbalanced inputs and we recommend that they are used for this solution. Tracking with channels 25-32 If only 8 tracks of simultaneous recording are necessary, mic/line inputs 1-8 can be assigned to channels 25-32. Use busses 1-8 to buss the signal to tape digitally and use channels 1-24 as digital tape return channels. This is also a very easy way 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 • Pitch Shifting • Phaser • Flanger • Compressor • Guitar compressor • Exciter • De-esser • Gate • Distortion (with amp simulators) There are two locations called "Effect 1 and Effect 2" where these algorithms can be loaded. The source of the inputs to Effects 1 and Effects 2 can be Aux sends 1-6. Effects returns can be assigned to any of the 32 channels. Effects 1 and 2 can also be routed as "inserts" on busses 1-8, Aux sends 1-6 or the stereo buss. The internal effects can also be used with the "assignable" inserts. For instance, if a fretless bass is on channel 2 and chorus needs to be added to it, assign the chorus effect to assignable insert #1 and assign insert #1 to channel 2. Using the assignable insert saves an aux send and two return channels. Effect 1 and Effect 2 can also be run in series. This would allow you to run a delay into a reverb, for instance.
