[. . . ] Note that only six of the outputs are used here (7 and 8 are not used). TASCAM DM-24 2. 0 release notes 7 DM-24 version 2. 0--Release notes--I/O setup changes In high sampling frequency mode, only aux sends 1 through 4 (AUX1-4) can be selected here. Stereo mix output via TDIF This allows a TDIF connection (TDIF-3) to output the stereo mix. For example, if TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 have both been selected as return blocks, channels 1 through 8 may now contain returns from both TDIF 1 and TDIF 2 (previously a group of eight channels could only accept sources from one block at a time). However, you should note that this does not provide 32-channel digital track mixing (although only 24 returns can be assigned, you can now decide where they go). 8 TASCAM DM-24 2. 0 release notes DM-24 version 2. 0--Release notes--I/O setup changes When using cascaded DM-24s for recording 24 simultaneous tracks, you now have access to full-featured EQ and dynamic channels for 24 track sends, the same for all 24 track returns, and many other channels for effects returns, cue mixes, etc. MTR return metering Because of the flexible return assignment described above, which means that tape return numbers are not automatically equal to channel numbers, the metering conventions have changed. Previously, channels 1 through 24 were assumed to be the return channels, but since channels 25 through 32 can now also be return channels, this assumption is no longer valid. Accordingly, a new option has been added to the 24channel meter display menu. Also, the way in which the METER Follows SEL Key option works has changed as described here: There is a new option, called Prior Layer, as shown below. Use the dial and ENTER key to change between FOR 24TR and FOR 16TR (that is, the number of tape returns currently in use). When this parameter is set to FOR 16TR, selecting channels 1 through 16 moves the meter layer to CH 1-24, and selecting channels 17 through 32 moves the meter layer to CH 9-32. When this parameter is set to FOR 24TR, selecting channels 1 through 24 moves the meter layer to CH 1-24, and selecting channels 25 through 32 moves the meter layer to CH 25-32. MU-24 operation If the optional MU-24 meter bridge is fitted, channels 9 through 32 (that is, 24tracks) can be selected for metering by pressing the CH1-24 and MASTER/CH25-32 keys (of the MU-24) at the same time (both these indicators light). The onscreen metering mirrors that on the MU-24. Direct assignment to the stereo buss It is now possible to route the following directly to the stereo buss, without having to assign them to channels: · · · Digital inputs 1 & 2 Effects returns Assignable returns and compression before routing these channels (compressed and EQed buss outputs) directly to the stereo buss. You could even send the buss outputs digitally, convert them off-board, and then feed them back into the channels. With the mic/line inputs also directly assignable to the stereo buss, you can now assign 60 input channels to the stereo buss at the mixdown stage (32 channels, 16 cue tracks (provided by assigning track returns to Aux 1-2), 12 returns to stereo). Use POD 1 to set the parameter to M/L and POD 2 to set the scope of the assignment to ALL. When you highlight the SET button and press ENTER, channels 1 through 16 will be set to M/L (17 through 32 remain unchanged). Use the ASSIGN BUSS screen to highlight the AUX 12 to stereo assignment section, and press the ST key (CH ASSIGN section). On the MODULE SETUP screen, the ADD. SOURCE (additional source) parameter for modules 1 through 16 can be set to RETURN or M/L. This can be set individually for each channel. On the AUX SOURCE screens (aux 1 and 2 are linked on the screen here), the source for channels 1 through 16 can be selected either from PRE/POST/RETURN or PRE/POST/M/L, depending on the ADD. SOURCE setting for the channel: Link aux 1 and 2 using the LINK/GRP key to get to the ST LINK screen, move the cursor to aux 1, and press ENTER. You can use the AUX 1-2 LEVEL and AUX 1-2 PAN/BAL screens to set the level and pan values for these M/L inputs, just as for any other channel. These level and pan settings affect the signals sent to the stereo master buss. Remember that the input level of these signals is determined by the analog TRIM controls. Digital outputs and Aux sends Previously, Aux sends had to be paired (1-2, etc. , ) in order to output them from the digital outputs. 12 TASCAM DM-24 2. 0 release notes DM-24 version 2. 0--Release notes--Surround mode It is now possible to select individual (mono) Aux send busses for output in this way. In this case, the left channel of the digital output is used for the Aux send. Assignable inserts The assignable inserts can now be used with the L-R stereo buss. This allows any effect you are inserting to be "monitored" directly (this can be very useful when mixing to a digital recorder). It also allows you to send a compressed stereo signal to digital outputs 1 and 2. Surround mode LPF on the Boom channel This allows you to send only those frequencies below those selected on the LPF to the boom (LFE) channel. [. . . ] If the KEEP CONFIRMATION option in the automation setup is checked, a popup message appears to ask whether the bank should be deleted, otherwise the bank is deleted with no confirmation. To perform the keep function, press and hold the 2ND F. key and press KEEP. If the timecode is running when the Keep operation is performed, the DM-24 waits until the timecode stops before performing the data storage, otherwise the storage takes place immediately. The mix name's last character is a number or letter (0-9, A-Z, a-z), automatically incremented as the data storage takes place. [. . . ]
