TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes

 DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—I/O-OUTPUT selection

New mixing (snapshot 001)

TDIF 1, TDIF 2, and TDIF 3 assigned to chan-
nels 1 through 24 (return).

MIC/LINE inputs 1-8 assigned to channels 25 
through 32 (input).

Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
returns for Aux 3 through 6. Assignable returns 
assigned directly to ST via the 

ASSIGN

 page.

Effects (1, 2) returns assigned directly to ST via 
the 

ASSIGN

 page.

All channel buss assignments off, and channels 
assigned to ST with direct off.

Aux 1-2 sent to the stereo buss, stereo linked, 
with all pans at center.

Similar to the previous mix snapshot, 24 returns are 
immediately available, but in this case, the full chan-
nel facilities, including EQ, are available for the 
eight mic/line inputs. Working this way also provides 
more external effect capabilities. Mic/line inputs 9-
16 are still sent to Aux 1-2 and the outputs of the 
internal effects as well as the assignable returns are 
assigned directly to the stereo buss.

Overdub 17-24 (snapshot 002)

Channels 1-4 set as inputs (MIC/LINE 1 through 
4).

Channels 1-2 assigned to buss 1-2, channels 3-4 
assigned to buss 3-4.

Effects 1, 2 (L, R) returns assigned to channels 5 
through 8 (input).

TDIF 3 assigned to channels 9-16. 

TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 assigned to channels 17-32.

Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
return.

Channels 5 through 32 assigned only to ST and 
set to unity gain.

With TDIF tracks 1-16 assigned to the second fader 
layer (channels 17-32), the first fader layer (1-16) is 
used for four mic/line inputs, the returns from the 
two internal effects units, and the returns from the 
third return group (tracks 17-24). This is ideal for 
overdubbing solo parts, etc. to tracks 17-24 over the 
16 backing tracks. This snapshot also gives you the 
resources to record a vocal track dry, yet monitor the 
vocal with reverb in the cue mix.

Recording 1-16 (snapshot 003)

Channels 1-16 set as MIC/LINE inputs.

TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 assigned to channels 17 
through 32 as returns.

Channels 17-32 assigned only to ST (minimum 
gain).

Channels 1 through 16 assigned as direct outputs 
(ST off).

Assignable send/returns 1 through 4 set as send/
return.

This allows you to record and monitor the first 16 
tracks of a multitrack session, using the first and sec-
ond fader layers. Since the channel outputs are all 
direct-to-track, the second fader layer controls the 
levels of the tape returns to the stereo buss (and 
hence the monitoring). Aux 1-6 can be used as six 
mono, or three stereo, studio cue feeds.
