TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual
1 - TM-D1000 Operations Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the TM-D1000.
This high-quality digital mixing console allows you
to produce crystal-clear multitrack recordings and to
mix them to a digital stereo mastering machine.
We do not expect you to read the Reference Manual
from cover to cover, but if you take the time to read
through this Operations Manual, this will be repaid
in terms of future familiarity with the unit.
Since the TM-D1000 is a complex unit, with many
software features that are not immediately visible
from the front panel, we suggest, however, that you
make yourself familiar with at least the contents of
the main reference manual, so that you can find the
answers you need when you have questions.
