Question about Tascam mixer

[loudyouth]

Can there only be 6 instruments at a time, if you want seperate tracks for each instrument with the TASCAM M-164UF 16-Input Mixer with Effects and USB 2.0 Interface?

Thanks!!!

Nope. You can record up to 12 tracks simultaneously with this unit. PM user johnnymegabyte. He owns one of these and is up to speed on it.

It's 10 direct channels. 11/12 = FX 1&2, 13/14 = sub mix, 15/16 = stereo mix
I will double check the manual & do my own test

It's 16 In / 2 Out

I use Sonar 8.5 Producer and I have the option of 16 in and 2 out. It's a little misleading because the Sonar 8.5 software says 8 in 1 out, but they are talking about stereo pairs. For example, They break them down in odd pairs, 1,3,5,7,9,AUX, SUB and ST, but each one of these has a L and R, So for M-164UF IN 1, you would pick L for Channel 1 and R for Channel 2. then M-164UF IN 3 (there is no 2), would be L for Channel 3 and R for Channel 4 and so on. I don't use Cubase 4 so I don't know if the DAW is any different, but this has been tested in Sonar 8.5. Hope this helps.

I use Reaper, and you can get the "odd" stereo pairs like 2+3,3+4 etc with the Tascam M164UF
Are you using the Tascam driver ?
