New V1.60 Software for Tascam DM-24 Digital MixerNew Software Update Offers Improved Routing and
Functionality for Popular 24-bit, 96kHz Console April 26, 2002
TASCAM has recently announced the 1.60 software update for their
popular DM-24 Digital Mixer. Like many previous
enhancements to TASCAM software based products, this
software update is available as a free download from the
TASCAM web site. Version 1.60
software adds new features and functions to the DM-24,
including improved signal routing, improved MIDI Machine
Control functionality, new automation features and more.
"This software update builds on the already outstanding features of the DM-24 and allows users more
flexibility to complete their work," says Jace Nuzback, TASCAM product specialist. "The great thing about
technology-based products like the DM-24 is that new features can easily be added to the mixer, allowing it to
grow as the needs of the industry change."
The version 1.60 update allows users to assign mic/line inputs to Aux 1 and 2 similar to the way Aux 1 and 2
can be used as tape returns in a tracking environment. When mixing channels 1 through 24 can be used as
tape returns, 25 through 32 can be used as effect returns and the sixteen mic/line inputs can be assigned to
aux 1 and 2, which can be stereo linked and assigned to the stereo buss outputs. This adds an extra 16
channels, with pan and level controls, providing for a total of 48 mixdown channels on the DM-24.
The version 1.60 update also provides improved MMC functionality for a number of DAW applications and
HDR machines using an open MMC connection. Users will also find new routing capabilities on the DM-24,
including the ability to access up to 24 channels of simultaneous recording with the addition of the optional
IF-AN/DM I/O module. With the new "keep" feature in the DM-24's automation system, users can now save
the current mix in the first memory bank and push previous mixes to the next highest memory banks saving
both time and effort.
The TASCAM DM-24 digital mixing console (MSRP $2,999 USD) features 24-bit digital converters, up to 96kHz sampling
rates, 32-bit internal processing and audio quality needed for a wide variety of professional recording
applications.
