DM-24 Configuration?

[Stixxs]

Hi all,

I'm trying to wade through the on-line doc's with little success, and no Tascam Forum on the Tascam site...any help would be greatly appreciated!

I could use some suggestions on how to configure the DM-24's I/O. I'm using a Delta 66 for testing purposes right now. stereo out and back is all I'm interested in. I've returned L/R from the Delta to the DM's channel's 15 & 16...but obviously can't track now without re-recording the existing song!

Also any suggestions on how the board can be used to control Cubase SX would be great...I've assigned the Dm-24 as required in SX, but no control functions are working on the board.

Thx,

Stixxs

If you just want stereo in and out, i would connect s/pdif cables to the digital in 1 and digital out 1. Then in the I/O page, go to output and set digital out for stereo. Then in the control room section, select # 2 which is digital in 1. So you will monitor everyting from the delta 66, and you won't be rerecording tracks.

Or you could configure the digital out of the dm-24 to be buss out 1-2, or whatever you want. There's many options.

maddrummer,

To accomplish this with just 1/4 I/O's can you give me a suggestion ( it's all I currently have)? The internal routing of the DM is what's got me stumped.

Thx

you have the delta 66 right? That has s/pdif i/o on the pci card. So if you are using that then do what i posted before. If you can only use the 1/4", which i suggest you don't, use the assignable sends to go to the inputs of your card, and the outputs of the card can go to whatever channels you want. So then your levels to be recorded would be set by your aux send levels, and you can separate what you are recording and what you're monitoring.

There are still other ways though. Are you just recording one instrument at a time, or multiples that you mix live to be recorded?

I guess the bigger question is I'm trying to configure a template(s) that can both record signals as well as adjust levels in Cubase SX...Possibly using button CH.1-16 for input sources and button 17-32 to switch to control surface function's in SX, faders, mute, plat etc.

I'm currently using a UAD card in SX and prefer mixing in the box so that should be straight forward.

Can anyone make some suggestions on this?

Thx,

I've made such a template look at my dm-24 download page:

I've will made a new template soon, cause we're now using Nuendo.
