Slate settings The DM-24 allows you to define the "slate"-the destination of the talkback microphone. From the MONITOR screen, press the third soft key (OSC/COM) to bring up the oscillator and slate setting screens.

Lineup oscillator The DM-24 includes a lineup oscillator, which can be assigned in the same way as the slate output. Meters and faders As well as the stereo meters, the DM-24 provides onscreen metering for all modules in the console. With the SHIFT indicator unlit, press the METER/ FADER key. The following screen shows the metering for the input channels: Use the cursor keys to move along the row, and the ENTER key to include and uninclude the busses, In addition to being able to choose the outputs to which the oscillator is sent, POD 1 allows the oscillator frequency to be selected (100Hz, 440Hz, 1kHz or 10kHz). The level of the oscillator is also variable (POD 2) from -36.0dBFS to 0.0dBFS in 0.5dB steps. Use soft key 1 to turn the oscillator on (button is in inverse video) and off. The METERING POINT for channels 1 through 32 (CHANNEL) can be set as INPUT (before the digital trim and after the input selection), PRE (pre-fader and before any assignable send/return insert), or POST (post-fader, and post any assignable send/return insert). The MASTER (aux sends, busses, stereo) metering point can also be set: INPUT (buss level, before any compressor insertion), PRE (pre-fader and post any compressor insertion), and POST (post fader). Since only 24 channels can be shown on screen at once, there is a choice of what will be metered on screen at any one time: either the 24 track returns, the TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 77

pressed and released quickly, they are latching, but if
pressed and held, they are non-latching. Indicators
show the active status of these keys.
Slate settings
The DM-24 allows you to define the “slate”—the
destination of the talkback microphone.
From the
MONITOR
screen, press the third soft key
(
OSC/COM
) to bring up the oscillator and slate setting
screens.
Use the
SLATE
panel in this screen to choose which
aux sends, output busses and stereo channels will be
included in the slate.
Use the cursor keys to move along the row, and the
ENTER
key to include and uninclude the busses,
Lineup oscillator
The DM-24 includes a lineup oscillator, which can be
assigned in the same way as the slate output.
In addition to being able to choose the outputs to
which the oscillator is sent, POD 1 allows the oscilla-
tor frequency to be selected (
100Hz
,
440Hz
,
1kHz
or
10kHz
).
The level of the oscillator is also variable (POD 2)
from
–36.0dBFS
to
0.0dBFS
in 0.5dB steps.
Use soft key 1 to turn the oscillator on (button is in
inverse video) and off.
Meters and faders
As well as the stereo meters, the DM-24 provides on-
screen metering for all modules in the console.
With the
SHIFT
indicator unlit, press the
METER/
FADER
key.
The following screen shows the metering for the
input channels:
The
METERING POINT
for channels 1 through 32
(
CHANNEL
) can be set as
INPUT
(before the digital trim
and after the input selection),
PRE
(pre-fader and
before any assignable send/return insert), or
POST
(post-fader, and post any assignable send/return
insert).
The
MASTER
(aux sends, busses, stereo) metering
point can also be set:
INPUT
(buss level, before any
compressor insertion),
PRE
(pre-fader and post any
compressor insertion), and
POST
(post fader).
Since only 24 channels can be shown on screen at
once, there is a choice of what will be metered on
screen at any one time: either the 24 track returns, the
