The Model 24 Mixer. Recorder. Audio Interface. Full Walk Through. 

This is probably the best explanation of a product i've ever seen! Tascam need to pay you a hefty bonus! Every single feature of this desk explained in such an easy to follow, understandable way. Awesome. Off I go to buy one!

It's 30 years since I had an analogue desk. Digital is useless - who wants to mess about with menus and mice? Mixing desks, like pianos, are physical musical instruments. I'm sold on this geezer👍

What a VP that really knows his product in detail 👌

This guy rules at explaining

Ah! Analogue simplicity and experience without the hassle of tape recorder. Well done.

Now all we need is built in tape emulation and we’re full circle! |*-*|

Tascam is really one of the best audio companies out there

I've owned my model 24 for about a year now and it does an awesome job. I can't believe how much I missed real knobs. A very versatile machine for the price.

So happy to see this. I will be ordering next week. I will use this to record but edit on PC and then drop the file back onto the SD card. Much better than dealing with latency and those dreaded clicks and pops.

Just got my Tascam 24 and just started useing it to record my bands Triple Album. THE TASCAM 24 is GRRRRR GREAT!!!!

Picked up a 24 a couple weeks ago, played around and did a full band live off the floor recording, and the results are killer!! an awesome unit for sure! LOVE IT!!!!

Siiiiick! Can't wait to get one! Would be nice to see some videos of some actual full band recordings.

Very helpful....just got the Model 16 and applying all that is on this video. Super suppppport!!

The scribble strip tells you everything you need to know about how fun the Tascam Model 24 is going to be!

Thanks for the tips bro good job!!! Had mine about a year an Tascam killed it !! Best live recording / jam system ,,user friendly,,just smart ,,,my new brag 🤠🎸

This is a WINNER - no scrolling thru digital menus ACTUAL KNOBS and a built in MULTITRACK DEVICE! I have an old Tascam 24 track board that will feed into this = 36 tracks to onboard SD. Will eliminate racks of patchbays and efx gear for UNDER $1000 Holy Sh!t!

Just got one of these and it's a beautiful piece of gear. Covers so many bases.

Yay... can't wait to unbox mine that just arrived!!!

Looking forward to picking mine up in two weeks.

I got my Model 24 today. AWESOME! I bought a Mackie ProFX22v3 and received 3 faulty units in a row. I love my Tascam Model 24 !!!

what a beautiful product that is

Joe is a great man at explaining how to use Tascam recorders... and his patience and knowledge is much appreciated.. I have spoken to Joe about this recorder and my personal thoughts are known to him.... " why did they make a 24 track recorder and give you 16 channels.? how great it would have been if Tascam made a 24 track,,, 24 channel recorder with a 24 channel meter bridge,,, really all they had to do was to reproduce the first 12 channels and make it 24.. add a meter bridge and call it a PRO 24..... I know some of you will rant on about you can use DAW and plug into your computer,, but I dont use a computer for recording,,, I write.. record..mix and release music,,..I hear music..I dont see it,,,, but its nice to see some of you on here are saying they should make a Model 32 ... but please include a meter bridge,,, lets hope Tascam read these comments,,,

Man. This mixer is jam packed! But just 2 Aux??

nice love the analogue mixer

Bought this to produce a Christmas EP. It will come on Tuesday. Pretty excited to have this as a mixer and audio interface for a DAW.

Thank you, Fred Armisen.

Nice demo!

Submixer input, well thought.

This is AWESOME!! I just bought it! 24! REC button for Blutooth track is very helpful when you record an reference song....or inspiring song.... I`m curios about quality of soundcard with VST Instruments ASIO

I was surprised only 1 fx send.. but this thing is breathtaking either way

4 Band EQ for all channels but with 2 extra Knobs for adjusting the mid frequencies.

Why no inserts on all mono channels? That would be the best way to use effects on a per-channel basis. Going through an effect into the mic preamp seems convoluted. What I'd really like is a 32 track recorder/player made to plug into the insert jacks on an analog mixer I already have.

I can't believe this thing is available for this cost.

Would love to buy one but I’m looking at other options because they aren’t in stock anywhere. I had one on back order but the date there were supposed to be in got pushed back. Same thing happened with the Motu m4, ended up buying an SSL 2+ because apparently they couldn’t keep up with demand either.

thank you

When you've recorded to your DAW and wish to play it back through the Tascam, can you assign ANY Tracks ( say the STEREO pairs that are available ) to Monitor ? I've heard & seen RU-vid vids that say you can only use Tracks 1 & 2 ? I really love the Logic of this hybrid, analog ~ digital mixer

You say you can use the graphic EQ for the main mix of a track to the sd card, it doesn’t effect your head phone mix or control room mix so how would you do this, would u have to mix using the main outs, cheers

I've been using my Tascam DP-24SD recorder for about 3 years now and really like it. I wonder how this Model 24 recorder compares to my DP-24SD.

the only thing that holds me back from going with this board over its competitor the zoom Live Trak L, is the zooms multiple headphone outs, is there a way to provide each band member a custom headphone mix using what's available or another piece of gear?

As of now many devices come with Bluethooth 5.0 Hence, It is advisable to upgrade this Bluethooth 4.0 to 5,0. Because it has many advantages over Bluethooth 4.0 Can you upgrade Tascam Model 24 with Bluethooth 5.0 and release the product to market.?

Do you think its possible to get a firmware update to get the Model 24 to Slave to MTC? I know it now can Master but why not the other way around? Would that not make it easier to sync with DAWs as there is no MIDI Clock

So are the channel EQs only pre-fader, like the Soundcraft MTK 22? Or do the channel EQs affect the signal in post-fader as well? Also, only two mono aux? If I wanted to use an outboard compressor, would I need to dedicate one aux for left and the other for right channels in order to send stereo feed to the comp from the aux sends?

@tascam I wonder if there is a surface control to control the daw while your multitracking live into protools or logic? If it does , seriously a gem. Also!!was wondering if I can connect outboard gear like a neve summing into this and or expand this with other interface to expand inputs like spidif ?

I am playing with the mixer like usb interface, but my recordings are low. It is mandatory to add gain about 70% for "normal" recordings. I remember with other usb interfaces dedicated that scenario was not needed. Why do you think about this scenario? Thanks

Hi, I've got 3 questions: 1) Are the monitor & fx sends pre or post fader? 2) Are the monitor & fx send connectors mono or stereo? 3) Is it possible to use the XLR and the TRS inputs of a channel both simultaneosly? Or is it one or the other? How about the stereo channels? Thanks in advance!

One of the things that struck me and dislikes me is that the potentiometer knobs wiggle at the moment you touched them. Clearly seen at 3:05 and 11:06. This means cheap quality potmeters. When knobs are wiggle, mean they will wear out faster. High quality potential meters are tight and don't wiggle.

I'm John I have the model 24. Just starting with this mixer. I have a question about gain. How do you set the gain of a channel. Press PFL but i do not see on the mix any reaction on the meters (no green/yellow/red) sohow to do it right?

There is absolutely a market for NEW Tascam tape machines...(such as the 388, cough, cough)...

If I’m using model 24 as an audio interface to stream On Facebook live; which settings do I need to set on the mixer(using two mic inputs) and which channels would be best to plug the two mics (vocal and mic’d acoustic) into? One of the stereo channels?

Little question? Can you tell me if the EQ settings are saved in the recording or can you have the sound without adjustment? THANK YOU

Hi, what to do if I want to record tracks whole? Tascam is starting recording when detect input signal, how to record whole track including silence?

hi, looks like a great board. Can you please tell me if you are able to mix for a live performance, record in logic and in logic mix for a live stream at the same time? thank you

how do you insert a PEDAL on the EFX ? can't seem to figure it out even with SPLITTER CABLE....

Hi thank you you for your video. Can i used cubase 5 with the tascam model 12?

I have a dp-03 which I use everyday, especially the mastering function. I have a UA LA610MKII and a Warm Bus Comp. Thinking of using the 610 at the start of the chain into the Model24. Is it possible to sidechain the Bus Comp into the Model24 to print the mix onto the Dp-03 for mastering? Trying my best not to use a computer and go DAWless.

Can an external screen be used with this mixer for a better view of the the fader levels for recording

Tascam - The switch between live, usb and card doesn’t make it clear but are you able to record to the card while live tracking a DAW via usb at the same time? I’m doing some live recordings via usb now but would love to have an SD recording as a backup.

thanks for the video. i've been looking at this for days to see it is what i need. The workflow i had in my mind; drumcomputer and synths/sampler to the tascam 24, record jams in seperate tracks on the daw (doesnt record compression or eq? but it does record fades?) - edit the jam in the daw - send back to the tascam and record with compression/eq per track to a final stereo mix. this should be possible i guess? is this how the tascam could work? any user experience? thanks in advance!

Can I take said sd card and pull it out of the unit, plug it into my computer then access the files in my d.a.w.?

Can I use the Bluetooth channel as PEM (Personal Ear Monitor) so the band can use their own phone and use it as their own ear monitors?

To TASCAM OFFICIAL: I have been using your DP-24SD recorder for the past 3 years now and was wondering if I upgrade to this Model 24 recorder, can I plug my SD cards that I used to record previously from your DP-24SD recorder into the new Model 24 recorder? Would those SD cards be compatible with the Model 24? Would I still be able to go back and edit and overdub on those previously recorder SD cards, or would I have to use all new SD cards and record all new songs using the Model 24 recorder and not be able to use the previously used SD cards?

I just bought this mixer for a live stage application. The only thing that worries me is that every time the guy touches the knobs with his finger, I can see it wiggling left to right or up and down. I'm a little worried that these are flimsy knobs that won't stand up.

Is there anyway to print the effects to a DAW? Is there a way to route the output of the built-in stereo effect onto a stereo channel so to be able to record the effect in your DAW?

Can you add effects to the aux ? So performer can hear the reverb, compression on their vocal in ear ?

Any plans of making a Model 32? that would be great, and if you could add 3 subgroups that really would help.

Not enough info on the recording side. How long will it recorder & where isit stored (0n th maching or the card thing didn't eplain much of} Can you work on a project save for later and reload it all for future editing etc. more info. on recorder end please

I love the looks and it ticks a lot of boxes for me, but I don't need headphone/monitor mixes, and instead would absolutely need post fader effect sends. Maybe I am wrong, but wouldn't it have been trivial to add an option (switch, dip-switch, firmware) to use the monitor subs as aux/effect sends instead? If I understand this thing correctly, I only have one effects send, and that either goes to the built-in effects or one can override this with an external device, correct?

Did anybody had any problems? It seem that on my model, multijog press, doesnt work..? Solution? Mechanical problem?

Would a thunderbolt 3 interface allow thunderbolt 3 recording? I want the lowest lag obviously and with 24 usb channels, I don't think I can trust it.

Hello, on this table Tascam model 24 can you mic the drums with dynamic mics and condenser mics at the same time to be able to make a live recording?

Can you print the Bluetooth in to a channel ? Record the Bluetooth to one of the channels. Can I assign the Bluetooth to a channel and record it ?

Great demo. One question though: Will EQ and FX by default be printed to the stereo master/mixdown file?

Can you do auto punch-in and punch-out on this machine? Thanks.

So the SMPTE is only through USB? Does this mean no signal is going through the channels ? I wanted to use a Midiman Syncman or Philip Rees TS1 for syncing to MIDI but if its only usb they wont work. I had such high hopes for this mixer but as time goes on its turning into a huge paperweight..

Good day! just got a Model 16 - can it work with FL studio? - having issues....

Just got a couple of questions. Does it have a built in click track? Could I use it for reamping?

when i export to sd the wav is too small and the mix is too quiet???? why is this because this mix is at the right level on the tascam

Hi, What multitrack signal does the DAW receive? Is it post fader and post EQ? IE can you print your mix in multitrack form with your mixer channel tweaks intact? (same for model 16?)

I'm near novice - old Portastudio cassette recorder way back, Coated MR78 more recently. This will record, correct? So why would I sent tracks to a computer / software recorder?

Just received yesterday. Question. Can you lock in a mix? As is in take a picture. Even without flying faders, you don’t want to change songs and have to go back and Re mix. Otherwise I guess you actually take a picture.

Hello, I have a question about the model 24… would a patchbay make a difference? Or is it not needed? I’m very new to this. Thanks for your answer.

Can you use the blue tooth capability for interviews for a podcast? So the caller can hear in studio guest and vice versa? I am looking for a good live stream podcast mixer that allows for a phone connection for call in interviews.

I've had this thing for 6 months. I've never recorded, or used DAW before. 1st question....I have Abelton live for my laptop. I'm only recording drum tracks for now. If I want to tweak my drum tracks through Abelton, do I just hook up the 24 to my laptop? (Or, is there something I need to download)? 2....I've been using the Yamaha EAD10, and running it into the last stereo channel. I can't separate my drun mix the drumless tracks I'm recording onto (to make drum covers). Should I be running the Yamaha EAD somewhere other than the stereo channel, as the Yamaha is a stereo mic/trigger device? (I'm also using live mics on all my drums, and when I do nail the take, it sounds great) I probably just confused anyone who read my post, but I'm hopeful someone will know what I'm saying, and trying to do.

Does it function as a normal mixer for live play also?

Here is another good setup scenario- if you have some outboard gear- in my case I do- hardware reverbs and other processing. Use fx out-Jack -mono send-disable internal effects- fx out Jack goes to your headphones distribution amp- I use a beringhear-and use a hardware reverb for it for talent-then I use Mon-1 and 2- sends to feed a stereo hardware effect chain in my case I run in series to a compressor-a saturation and widening unit and then into an aphex model 204-and return the stereo feed to channel 19/20-set to live input for a parallel type mix. For my hardware reverb send I use the ‘sub-out’ on a per channel need-engage it on any track you want hardware reverb-it sends to the stereo sub out fader and jacks-I use the Bluetooth channel as the reverb return. Any Mix of verb to dry can be done on the reverb unit itself. In my case I have 3 hardware reverbs- I run the stereo out to (2) passive splitters 2 in 4 out by galaxy audio-39 bucks each-then feed each hardware reverbs inputs separately-at the split- the re combine them to stereo for the return to Tascam using a Radial KeyLargo keyboard mixer-this way you have control of each reverbs volume- to create a dense exciting multiple reverb stereo return or turn any of them out of the mix. To taste, It only eats up 2 stereo returns leaving 18 open tracks 12 mono-3 stereo-which in a traditional situation w/ perhaps some ‘bouncing of tracks’ should be plenty. Hell most hit records pre 1980 were 16 to 24 tracks period-and 8 track in the early 70’s and backwards. Any outboard gear can be used-it’s the -routing- I have that makes the Tascam Model 24 in my case very usable and flexible as a standalone mix-record setup- In my case I have an RME BabyFace Pro FS-interface and an iPad Pro-I run my Mains Outs to the BabyFace as my two track master mix recorder so I do all final mastering inside an pad daw-I use Auria Pro with some plugins for sweetening as needed-if needed-and then export via audio share app to Postive Grids Final Touch App. Then save that mix in my desired format via that app.

So this is still a digital Mixer then...Not sure if this is wroth getting as a way to warm up digital mixes for analog summing vs a dangerous 2 bus.

this is fucking amaziiiingggg!!!!!

When using Logic Pro as a DAW, do the TASCAM faders control the Logic Pro Faders?

Can it plug straight into my computer? Do I still need my Presonus Audiobox in between or can I just plug right in with this?

does this have a pitch control for playback ?

will there ever be an update to connect a screen or laptop to see the playback of recorded tracks on a bigger screen and not the inbuilt small screen? Im about to order the 24 to link with my MPC Live2

I noticed the Model 16/24 do not have a DAW controller function like the Model 12? is there a plan to have one in the future? I love my Model 12 but I need a 16/24 with Controller abilities like the 12

None of these tutorials seem to answer the simple questions. Can you record the unprocessed (direct out signals) at the same time as using the effects out front of house? Thsnks in advance to anyone who might know this information.

Can you use this as a soundboard for live shows and record the performance at the same time?

I have an focusrite Scarlett can i connect this mixer to it

So far, I only know how to record straight to the SD card in MTR mode. I can't figure out how to use it as a usb interface with Adobe Audition or mix down from the SD card to my DAW. The manual isn't very well written.

I love this mixer. Its near perfection. I just wonder why it doesnt have a built in click track like the model 12?

I have been struggling to learn to use the Tascam Model 24 as in the vids there is plenty of "walk thru" but little "how to". Applying tracks to a SUB mix* then patching a stereo track**... Well... *How do tell if they've been "applied"? ... **How do I hear a playback?

hi! considering to buy this one, but i'm a bit confused about auxes. how can i use my own external fx devices or guitar pedals? and there is only one aux knob for each channel. at the moment i have only soundcraft epm6, it has two aux in/out and it's possible to send two different fx to each channel, even to send one fx to other's channel for modulating it. down side is i have to use seperate channel for each aux fx. so, what's possible on model24?

Should I get the 16 or 24? Only 100$ difference.. Does 24 have more features other then track?
