Antares TASCAM TA-1VP Manuale Utente

The TA-1VP functions equally well processing audio during 

its original performance or later during the mixdown 

process. However, if you have the choice (which you 

typically will for everything but a live stage performance), 

we strongly recommend using the TA-1VP as an insert 

effect during mixdown. This will allow you to experiment 

with various settings while auditioning their effect in the 

context of the entire mix.
If you do choose to work this way, and plan to use the 

Microphone Modeling function, it is important that 

you document mic data for each recorded track. This 

should include the mic used, whether a low-cut filter was 

engaged, as well as the average distance between the 

mic and the signal source (singer, instrument, etc.). This 

information will be required to properly set the Source 

Mic controls during the mix.

Depending on your specific setup, there are a number of 

ways to patch the TA-1VP into your system. We’ll cover the 

most common below.

CHANNEL 1

INPUT

INSERT SEND

INSERT RETURN

LINE IN

MAIN LINE OUT

DOUBLE TRACK

LINE OUT

CHANNEL 2

INPUT

INSERT SEND

INSERT RETURN

OPTIONAL

AS AN INSERT EFFECT
USING YOUR MIXER’S 
SEPARATE INSERT SEND 
AND INSERT RETURN JACKS

This is probably the most common setup for the TA-1VP. 

It will function as a pre-fader effect on one of your mixer’s 

input channels.
If your mixer has separate insert send and insert return 

jacks, patch the insert send to the TA-1VP’s LINE IN and 

the TA-1VP’s MAIN LINE OUT to the mixer’s insert return.

CHANNEL 1

INPUT

INSERT

SEND/RETURN

INSERT

SEND/RETURN

LINE IN

MAIN LINE OUT

DOUBLE TRACK

LINE OUT

CHANNEL 2

INPUT

OPTIONAL

AS AN INSERT EFFECT
USING YOUR MIXER’S 
SINGLE INSERT JACK

NOTE: 

REQUIRES 

TRS PLUG

If (as is more common) your mixer has a single insert jack, 

you will need a “Y” cable with one 1/4” TRS (Tip, Ring, 

Sleeve) phone plug and two 1/4” TS phone plugs. Insert 

the TRS plug into the mixer’s insert jack and insert the 

appropriate TS jacks into the TA-1VP’s LINE IN and MAIN 

LINE OUT jacks (i.e., the mixer’s insert send to TA-1VP 

LINE IN and the mixer’s insert return to TA-1VP MAIN 

LINE OUT.)

In most cases, a mixer’s insert send will appear on the tip 

of the TRS plug and the insert return on the ring. However, 

you should consult your mixer’s manual to confirm that 

this is indeed the case for your mixer.
In this configuration, you can use your mixer’s channel 

trim to set the input level of the TA-1VP, or use the input 

level adjustment on the TA-1VP.

If you will be using the TA-1VP’s Double Tracking function 

in stereo mode, patch the TA-1VP’s DBOULE TRACK LINE 

OUT to a separate channel on your mixer.

CHANNEL 1

INPUT

DIRECT OUT

LINE IN

MAIN LINE OUT

DOUBLE TRACK

LINE OUT

CHANNEL 2

CHANNEL 3

INPUT

DIRECT OUT

OPTIONAL

INPUT

DIRECT OUT

AS AN 
INSERT 
EFFECT 
USING 
TWO 
MIXER 
CHANNELS

For this configuration, your mixer must provide direct 

channel outputs.
Patch the direct output of the channel whose signal 

you want to process to the LINE IN of the TA-1VP. Patch 

the MAIN LINE OUT of the TA-1VP to the line input of a 

second mixer channel. Use the fader of the first channel 

to set the input level of the TA-1VP. Be sure that the first 

channel is not assigned to the main mix.

If you will be using the TA-1VP’s Double Tracking function 

in stereo mode, patch the TA-1VP’s DOUBLE TRACK LINE 

OUT to a third channel on your mixer.
