Tascam DM-24 User Manual

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.
