Thank you for all of your help, you are a Godsend for MODEL 12 customers! ♥️ I really hope TASCAM supports the Mod12 further and deeper into the future. 🔊🔊🔊 It shows that they care about us and their products, improving performance and features over time! 😋
Thank you for advocating for us, and for running us through all the forthcoming changes. I had no idea these were on their way and now I feel totally prepared - and excited! Thanks Tascam for supporting what’s already a great product. These were basically the missing features I was hoping for back in the fall when I first got my Model 12.
Luckily I found your channel a while ago and so does Tascam it seems. Compliments to you for the best videos about this mixer. Thanks to Tascam for maintaining the software. I made the right choice at the time!
Although it's been a bit of a hassle, I've gotten used to it as it is (with Ch1/2) as PC USB but now I feel like there's more game on. Excellent work mate! (& thanks Tascam devs)
Your videos are so helpful and bringing light to the topic especially for the people who are not in audio editing professionally. Thanks a lot! TASCAM shall pay you royalties for making their products popular / useful! ;) PS: Software for Settings Edit - that's what we need, thanks for adding to the list!
I love my 12 as stand-alone only, but resorted to external normalizers and limiters to polish levels. This guy showed a workaround to create a limiter effect using compression, and Tascam just added a normalizer. It will finally be truly stand-alone for me!
This Tascam 12 digital mixer, is a very intriguing unit.... been watching your channel and others who use a PC/MAC/IPAD with this mixer... and given the Firmware improvement's... its really a great sign these units are being supported, Well done Tascam!!
Hi! I would have liked to be able to assign the USB return to the SUB fader. Then you would have a fader and a mute button. But to be able to assign it to the main bus is a good step forward. Thank you for all the very good videos by the way! Keep it up! :)
Thank you for explaining so well! Best update so far. Sometimes I use 9/10 because I can route it through the Compressor and EQ, and pan it. But usually just to main because then I have all the channels. Great! Now the thing that is really missing for me is Bitwig DAW control support. It kind of works in MCU - Live mode, but the pan is buggy and the markers don't work. I think this should be easily implemented for them (As a developer on my own), because almost everything works already. 2 things, common Tascam developers please do that too xD
Hey! Thank you for all your videos about this excellent machine, keep up the good work! I hope in the next updates they could work on the software side so we'd be able to set plugins on individual channels BEFORE going into the DAW. I don't know if it's possible but that would be the ultimate game changer
Thanks for your comment. Not sure the processor will be able to handle it as it’s a complete different ball game. But being able to charge settings of the Comp and EQ via a PC app would be great, like Yamaha’s AG03/06 mixers. It’s on my future features list.
Great work Vatche & being the voice for us M12 users! Your content on the M12 is second to none! Regarding the new firmware, would be good if we could also pick 7/8 as well for the pc return audio, as 9/10 is where the bluetooth (if assigned) & trrs comes in. Has the ability to play audio from your DAW and from a different application always been there? Overall the new update doesn't really affect my current workflow as person who uses the M12 as an audio interface with my windows pc (+ voice meeter) for games, discord/zoom, spotify and the occasional daw recording, streaming/podcasting on obs. But nevertheless it is great to see Tascam is listening to suggestions and feedback (on top of having a representative in the fb group). Has Tascam indicated that they will continue to support the M12 ie with future (hopefully more frequent) firmware and driver updates?
These are welcome additions. Thanks for the video! I was hoping that they would add a couple other things, though. Would like to be able to trim the start of a track and also be able to copy (not just swap) one track to another. The DP008ex does this and more. I know that ppl will say that "it's not a DP", but why not make the 12 less tethered to the DAW for basic functions?
great stuff! i was hoping for channel input pad though. the mics i use on my kick and snare drum are too hot, so i have to almost peak the master to get a balanced monitor mix.
Do you think you could add to your firmware request list to Tascam a couple features? I've already emailed them in the past, but maybe more people is better. I wish they would add a reverse playback function ( like flipping over a tape recording a track and flipping it back, so that track is reversed ) the other thing is a pitch playback / record function ( also like a pitch function on tape recorders to slowdown / speed up and pitch up /down the global speed ) Great info Cheers
Thanks for the comment and ideas. I'll pass them on. But honestly, these are CPU intensive process and not sure how it will fit in the general workflow. Pitch/speed up or down are easy in a DAW but the process is destructive and irreversible on the mixer. With tape, slowing down up speeding up is simple, but in a digital world it will change the audio that unless you copy the original, reverting/undo will not be the same audio quality.
What I'm hoping for in future updates would be the ability to add the internal FX to specific channels using the digital screen and keep AUX2 as a second FX send possibly via headphone output 2? Right now that's the one thing I'm finding a bit limiting, I'm fine with using the built-in reverbs and delays for basic 'room' type ambience but also want to be able to send certain channels through more creative FX like dub delays or other crazy stuff.
Let's say you have a raw/dry guitar recorded via a DI box into track 1. Just play Ch 1 and send AUX2 to inter FX short delay or slap-back delay. Record this as the only mix-down onto the main bus (while no track is armed for recording, press the REC button. You can now move the Left (Ch 11) to track 2. Now track 2 will have the guitar with slap-back delay printed. Change the FX to reverb so now you can have a guitar with slap-back and reverb. Hope this helps
Why DI Box? I thought with the Tascam Model 12 I could plug a guitar directly into the mixer via a guitar cable? Or is it not possible? Can't I put an electro-acoustic guitar or the signal from a pedal, e.g. the Zoom ms-70cdr, into the combo socket of the Tascam Model 12 via a guitar cable? Isn't that possible? Why do I need a DI Box?
You can get a recordable tone plugging an electric guitar straight in and boosting everything, but you won't get a *good* tone, you still need either a mic'd up amplifier or some kind of FX unit that has some amp and cab sims to get a proper sound. This is a recording device, the inbuilt FX are there to add space and ambiance in suble doses, not substitute instrument gear or plugins. @@MB-kx5qs
@@MB-kx5qs , Yes, you certainly can plug your guitar directly into any of the inputs. Using a DI box allows you to separate the guitar lead, to also send it to your paddle board and AMP.
Hello, do you think I could use the tascam model 12, on a live set performance in a club? I perform with my electric guitar , drum machine, 3 analog synths and ableton live sending midi clips and some samples .

Thank you so much for your videos! I will admit that I was dissapointed to see they didn't resolve the headphone monitoring issue you pointed out in one of your last videos. This seems to be the biggest drawback of the Tascam Model 12 for me -- otherwise I have been extremely happy with it. I hope update 1.5 deals with this! @Tascam
If you’re referring to headphones locked with main fader, this was resolved in firmware 1.30. You can select if your headphones output is pre or post main fader, allowing you to mute the main bus but still able to listen on headphones.
I can only monitor my channels through headphones by pushing in the solo button on each fader. I wish instead to be able to use the faders to balance the mix while I am using my headphones. What am I not doing correctly?
I recently picked one of these up. My SSL 2+ interface automatically routed a copy of any signal playing on the PC (Spotify, TH-cam, etc.) through channels 3/4 so I can sample from any source on the internet. Does any one know if there is any way to do something like that with the model 12?
@@RecordingStudio9 Yes! Having MP3 format would be great yes!. So we could import the MP3 master stereo file directly from the Model 12 to a cellphone using a single Type C to Type C cable. In the past decade , companies innovated into advanced features and options, but what i'm reading from consumers of these technologies is more of a demand for simplicity and Logic. The "Less is more" quote is very true concerning musicians and songwriters, where as advanced technology only appeals to studio engineers really. Thanks for your support and being the voice from all of us into having Tascam listening to our needs. Your videos are gold.
I'd find it super useful to hear the SUB channel on headphones. It would make it much easier to use the mixer as an instrument for layering and ovetdubbing soundscapes. Right now the only way to monitor an already recorded track without it being recorded to the mains is to use SOLO, which is okay, but not ideal
So glad they listened to your suggestions!! When does the firmware update become widely available?! Also, I’d love to see what you do creatively with these. I’m also particularly interested in normalize on the Main. And, if you go up 3 db then go down 3 db, does that degrade the sound quality at all?? Thanks!
Sir, we want to know its recording quality, bit rate, and how equally great when we hear it comparatively. Pls ?? And also price and link of availability
Thanks for the vid! I switched the pc channel from 1 and 2 to main, but is there a way to add or subtract bass from the signal... Just seems to control the volume, I assume not
Will do @@RecordingStudio9 I saw your other video with standalone midi--- Imma try that concept at times.. Sometimes its best to be away from the pc ! exxcellent vid
Nice! just updated to 1.4 and already like having PC return on channels 9/10 since im not using those currently. Your videos have been a huge help in getting the hang of this thing, ive only had it for a week now but i already enjoy it way more than working on DAWs. One question though, after switching the PC return channels, channel 1 isnt receiving any signal from any of my instruments. Tried a few cables, multiple synths and a guitar and cant get any input whatsoever. Any chance somebody might know what happened?
I‘m routing usb output from my computer to the Tascam MAIN. But the output to my speaker is extremely loud. I need to move the main faider of tascam to almost bottom. What am I doing wrong?
Hi there! Please helo me out a bit. I have the Tascam model 16. I can no longer hear the instrumental I am recording on top of into my headphones (through the mixer). Your older video helped me see that I couldn't hear the microphone anymore because I had some additional buttons pressed. But how can I hear an external instrumental coming from my PC software into my headphones, while recording the vocals? It used to work... now it doesn't anymore and it drives me crazy. Help, please! (Instrumentals are coming from my FL Studio 12, and yes it's connected to the output section in the software, but still I get no sound out of it).
Which channels have you selected in FL Studio for your main bus? By default they go to M16 Ch 1/2 and you need to set the Mode slider switch to PC on both Ch 1 & 2.
I changed my stereo return to the main & now I cant hear my head phones that I had going to the sub outs from my headphone amp. When I put the return on 9/10 I can still hear the headphones when I press the sub button on the side of the 9/10 fader.
@@RecordingStudio9 great video by the way, I wish they would update the way the faders work with DAW control the way you demonstrated in a previous video. DAW controll is what sold me to buy the unit and because of the way it works with the faders, I never use it.
I agree. I hope they do implement “snap on” feature to faders and knobs so nothing changes in the DAW until the fader matches the DAW fader level and snaps to it. 🤞 I will forward it to TASCAM.
Thank you for this video - I'm hoping this update helps with some of the issues I've been having! When I go to the Tascam site and the downloads page, I'm only seeing software updater files for v1.2, from 2020. I'm on a mac, if that matters. Could you provide a link to where you're getting the update file? I feel like it should show on that page, but I'm just not seeing it. Thank you! And thanks so much for your videos. Subscribed, and so appreciative!
What about a video on the fader hiss noise? I bought a model 12 few months ago and all faders down, zero hiss/white noise, but raising the fader will bring up a hiss noise. Gain knob is not affecting the hiss at all. There is hiss even at 0 gain. P.S. If the mic is in - it's the same, does'nt make a difference. Checked also its not a cable or interference problem, could this be digital noise inherent in the mixer? Will there be a firmware update on this?
@@RecordingStudio9 if i set mode to pc i hear nothing cause i dont connect a pc daw, if i set MTR and then i push the REC button above the channels i hear the same hiss.
Because initially the version 1.41 cause problems, impossible to control from the Model 12. Then I shoot down my computer for a few hours and when I receive your notification about version 1.41 are ok, startup my computer and everything goes well. Now the TASCAM is working perfect. Thanks a lot for all your help, I don't speak English, but I understand you very well. You explain so clear, the best teacher.
Hello, I used to have that problem and I thought channel 1 and 2 would wasted but I don’t know what I moved within the settings and now I can record into channel 1 and 2 but my only one question is, how to add effects to a specific channel and listen to the effect on ableton. Is it possible?
? Do you have a video discussing #MonitoringReverb or #ComfortReverb for singers 🎤 that don’t want to record the Effects onto the unit #TascamModel12 Is this possible?
Using the internal FX is not recorded onto the individual tracks, just on the main bus (CH 11/12). On playback from the MTR, you can change and apply different effects.
Greetings, I made the TASCAM Model 12 Firmware 1.40 Update and the cakewalk update too. The only problem is FX fader do not longer control the DAW master fader [cakewalk ]. Can you refer me any solution? thanks.
Great video, thanks. Not sure how Normalize would be used for the Master and you didn’t cover that but did mention it. Can you explain how/why that might be useful
Is this a final firmware update or will they be tweaking? I saw this 1.4 on their website. Also, can you show how you updated it? hahaha thanks for these videos
I agree. Instead of just 1 stereo USB return, maybe have extra 4, for Aux1 & Aux2 and two for SUB physical outs. Then you can use external hardware during your mixing in DAW mode. These USB returns can just go directly to the outputs. I know this is possible. It's on my list of future options request.
They may not be applicable to every user, but they are new features majority will embrace, especially when working in a standalone mode. Plus, minor improvements and fixes.
Thank you for all of your help, you are a Godsend for MODEL 12 customers! ♥️

Use the system volume, Windows or MacOS, to turn down from the computer.
Hi there! Please helo me out a bit. I have the Tascam model 16. I can no longer hear the instrumental I am recording on top of into my headphones (through the mixer). Your older video helped me see that I couldn't hear the microphone anymore because I had some additional buttons pressed. But how can I hear an external instrumental coming from my PC software into my headphones, while recording the vocals? It used to work... now it doesn't anymore and it drives me crazy. Help, please! (Instrumentals are coming from my FL Studio 12, and yes it's connected to the output section in the software, but still I get no sound out of it).
Which channels have you selected in FL Studio for your main bus? By default they go to M16 Ch 1/2 and you need to set the Mode slider switch to PC on both Ch 1 & 2.
I changed my stereo return to the main & now I cant hear my head phones that I had going to the sub outs from my headphone amp. When I put the return on 9/10 I can still hear the headphones when I press the sub button on the side of the 9/10 fader.
I guess there’s always a way.
@@RecordingStudio9 great video by the way, I wish they would update the way the faders work with DAW control the way you demonstrated in a previous video. DAW controll is what sold me to buy the unit and because of the way it works with the faders, I never use it.
Also I think the sub fader is still disabled in DAW control mode, that sucks because I have my headphone amp connected to the sub outs.
I agree. I hope they do implement “snap on” feature to faders and knobs so nothing changes in the DAW until the fader matches the DAW fader level and snaps to it. 🤞
I will forward it to TASCAM.
This is why I have to temporarily swap my Model 12. During mixing stage I use outboard gear and SUB being muted for some reason stops me 🙄🤔
is the multi input feature available on the m24 also?
By multi input you mean recording or sending each channel individually? Yes.
Thank you for this video - I'm hoping this update helps with some of the issues I've been having! When I go to the Tascam site and the downloads page, I'm only seeing software updater files for v1.2, from 2020. I'm on a mac, if that matters. Could you provide a link to where you're getting the update file? I feel like it should show on that page, but I'm just not seeing it. Thank you! And thanks so much for your videos. Subscribed, and so appreciative!
This update is only available for Model 12.
If I switch my pc sound to ch 9/10 would i'lI be able to control my headphone volume separately from my main monitors or control room monitors?
As of firmware version 1.3 you can select and separate your headphone volume from the main fader. You can watch my previous videos on the topic.
What about a video on the fader hiss noise? I bought a model 12 few months ago and all faders down, zero hiss/white noise, but raising the fader will bring up a hiss noise. Gain knob is not affecting the hiss at all. There is hiss even at 0 gain.
P.S. If the mic is in - it's the same, does'nt make a difference. Checked also its not a cable or interference problem, could this be digital noise inherent in the mixer? Will there be a firmware update on this?
Could be the compressor all the way up?
@@RecordingStudio9 no compressor at all, no EQ
@@TheExangelus What if you set the channel MODE switch to PC or MTR? Trying to identify if the pre-amps are noisy.
@@RecordingStudio9 if i set mode to pc i hear nothing cause i dont connect a pc daw, if i set MTR and then i push the REC button above the channels i hear the same hiss.
The hiss can go away almost completely if i lower the fader down to -12 and set the channel gain above 0 at 12:00
Have they addressed the issue with fader latch in Daw mode?
Not yet, and not sure if they will. Last time, it took them 2 years to release an update. 🤪
Is there a way to revert to an older firmware version on the Tascam model 12?
Why would you want to go back?
Because initially the version 1.41 cause problems, impossible to control from the Model 12. Then I shoot down my computer for a few hours and when I receive your notification about version 1.41 are ok, startup my computer and everything goes well. Now the TASCAM is working perfect. Thanks a lot for all your help, I don't speak English, but I understand you very well. You explain so clear, the best teacher.
@didimiorios3781 glad it’s working well. Thanks for your comment 😊
Hello, I used to have that problem and I thought channel 1 and 2 would wasted but I don’t know what I moved within the settings and now I can record into channel 1 and 2 but my only one question is, how to add effects to a specific channel and listen to the effect on ableton. Is it possible?
The internal FX is only mixed to the MAIN bus of Model 12, not to individual channels.
? Do you have a video discussing #MonitoringReverb or #ComfortReverb for singers 🎤 that don’t want to record the Effects onto the unit #TascamModel12 Is this possible?
Using the internal FX is not recorded onto the individual tracks, just on the main bus (CH 11/12). On playback from the MTR, you can change and apply different effects.
Not bad, but I was expecting a digital limiter and some other possibilities/updates for DAW control. Hopefully it will happen eventually
They are on my list of proposals to TASCAM for possible future updates.
@@RecordingStudio9 Great, I know you were talking about this in some of your previous tascam 12 videos, thank you for your effort!
I just tried to update it to the new 4.0 update. But i noticed a 4.1 released 3 days ago?
I’ve just been aware of it now. A small update to correct digital gain to usb. Thanks
Does this update go across the other two models, the model 16 and model 24 ?
Not that I’m aware of. Only Model 12 so far. I’m sure some of the new features would be compatible with M16 & M24. But we just have to wait.
Greetings, I made the TASCAM Model 12 Firmware 1.40 Update and the cakewalk update too. The only problem is FX fader do not longer control the DAW master fader [cakewalk ]. Can you refer me any solution? thanks.
I'll check it out soon.
What about live sound main out ?
I need more details on the question you are asking.
Is this the same for model 16?
No. Models 16/24 have similar but not the same firmware.
Great video, thanks. Not sure how Normalize would be used for the Master and you didn’t cover that but did mention it. Can you explain how/why that might be useful
Yes, I did mention it, but the video was already getting too long. Will be in an upcoming video.
como puedo bajar la version 1.40 en la pagina de tascam solo me deja descargar pdf 1.40
Asegúrese de hacer clic en la PESTAÑA de descarga en la parte superior y desplácese hacia abajo hasta la sección Firmware.
@@RecordingStudio9 gracias !
How do you download the firmware?
Instructions on TASCAM website.
This v1.41 do not permit control the cakewalk at all, comes with a big bug. Now I can't put back the v1.40
I have no issues controlling Cakewalk in DAW mode with firmware 1.41. Check your settings.
@@RecordingStudio9 Thank you again
Did I see track swap?
Recorded track swap has been available prior to ver 1.40.
Is this a final firmware update or will they be tweaking? I saw this 1.4 on their website. Also, can you show how you updated it? hahaha thanks for these videos
I’m sure it’s final for ver 1.40. How to update is in the included pdf file.
I'm first comment 😍
Good job 🤪
Come on Tascam, let us use the aux outputs in daw control mode already
I agree. Instead of just 1 stereo USB return, maybe have extra 4, for Aux1 & Aux2 and two for SUB physical outs. Then you can use external hardware during your mixing in DAW mode. These USB returns can just go directly to the outputs. I know this is possible.
It's on my list of future options request.
Firmware: V1.41 is available
This v1.41 do not permit control the cakewalk at all, comes with a big bug. Now I can't put back the v1.40
I don't see any reason I need any of these updates
They may not be applicable to every user, but they are new features majority will embrace, especially when working in a standalone mode. Plus, minor improvements and fixes.
