I appreciate TASCAM for seeing this niche and deciding to go forward with it. Takes guts and you'll know that those who know they want it, to really like it. I hope this will sell well to support products like this.
Thank you !! as a hobby studio/drummer guy we can now finally use the dm3200 / 4800 with the most updated daw software. its currently super messy to get the dm3200 to work flawless , and you have to keep IOS and other programs downgraded.
Nice! Now imagine that Tascam realizes, that A&H ditched a console (GSR-24) that ticked all the boxes and potentially could save tons of money and hussle if they support and update it, keeping in production. Tascam, 24-ch inline console with preamp + PEQ + DAW insert and return options with motorized midi faders + 4 busses and 4 auxes + a variable fet/valve compressor before main/monitor out. Just copy that discontinued console grand schematics and implement it in Model24 and StudioBridge. Then you will meet 2012’s dream, and 2025 demand in one product. Can you make it for 3999€/USD incl. taxes, and support/produce it for at least 10 years. :) All home/project studio owners will be your customer. 🎉
I've been looking at some of the videos appearing about the Studio Bridge. A lot of people don't get what its actually meant for, use with a totally analog mixer.
What kind of AD/DA converters are being used, when we used tape we knew what we were getting, these days the AD/DA is way below what we had and to remedy that we use lot of other high end converters, Burl, Lavry, CraneSong etc, how do these Tascam compare to these. We need more emphasis on this because it would be useless to do all that work and mix it down on average converters etc. Thank you.
Great point.. I feel they missed a chance to allow us to use external converters and external hard drive. Also, you can only punch in with 10 enabled tracks at once. Alesis HD-24 allowed you to do all. It's a really cool product, but a few gaps. Now if you have no converters, then you are golden with this.
@@Polentaccio we have problem in the industry, where it seems like everyone is using AKM chips, not the big boys, like Burl, Mytek, Apogee, Sequential, and based on several tests Akm stuff seems to be for more hifi stuff, it would good to know what Roland uses on their high end flagship units, or what SSL uses on the big six.

Great video, and I was waiting for a quick demo of the untit. I wish the 24 recording inputs had dedicated LED VU metering, and for this 1K price you should expect a color screeen with better resolution right?
Thank you @TASCAMUSA so much for this 😊! I'm a DAWless Artist & Producer, I appreciate you for making this device for us 😮. Now I just need to know is it USB Class Compliant so I can use it as an interface for my Standalone MPC? 🤔
A 32 bit version with 32-48 inputs would be fantastic. Basically an interface for multitrack recording with more inputs. No mic preamps needed Also love the design on this one!!

Let's take my analog mixer, a GB2R 12/2 : how can i proceed : can i use two 1-8 & 9-16 cables (mic?) to go to the tascam, record let's say 1-8, then track by track through the mixer to 9-12, then plug back the tascam to the mixer with another DB25 (line in)? THen send the whole mix to two tracks on the tascam ? There's no mic/line switch on the soundcraft...
Been waiting for something like this since the discontinuation of the Fostex D2424MK2 which ticked the same boxes for me (recording on SD, no DAW integration of course though). Now somebody give us a new, affordable, purely analogue console with 8 busses, 6-8 auxes, solo-in-place and decent EQ channel strips - so far nobody does this below the 10k mark …
If you're using them as a USB audio interface, then yes. Through software you can create an "aggregate audio device" which allows multiple interfaces to be stacked.
Question I Bought my friend old tascam tm-d8000 his job gave to him he needed money so I bought it but don't have the equipment to get it to run Properly🤷🏻♂️ if I buy the Bridge will it help get it running ? Thanx
all IMHO: WTF?? Is there any multi-I/O interface that DOESN'T do this?? OK it's got pause/play midi...but who the HECK in their right mind would use modern quality TASCAM digital for summing if they're using quality analog gear??? sorry this one is just totally lost on me.
Yeah I’m really not understanding why anyone would get this. If you have that analog gear you don’t need this. If you go digital you can get a model 24 or whatever.
You are correct. I've got a console and outboard.. with my Motu and Ferrofish converters. The only thing I can't do, is record to an SD card. But why would I want to anyway.. I'd sooner pickup an old HD-24. Better display, record to hard drive. The only person buying this is the person who picked up a used console and then realized they had no way of getting music in/out of it.
@@VincentPresley Its a stand alone digital multi track recorder without a mixer. You can record 24 tracks at a time directly to the Studio Bridge. Its also a 24 track usb audio interface. Folks can warm up their existing digital recordings in their DAW by passing the tracks through their analog console for mix summing. They can also do the same for existing digital tracks recorded directly to the Studio Bridge. How hard is it for you to understand that???? Sounds clear af to me.
I'm kinda waiting for some videos to pop up with some in depth demo's but one month later and there isn't anything usefull. Haven't you send some youtubers/syntfluencers a free unit to demo? It's being death silent, since the release. No dischussion on GearSpace, also none at elektronauts. Exept for one guy that talks reaaaaaaly slow and makes more a vlog out of it (I'm sorry Sanders-media-group ) It's not making waves at all atm
He is using an MSR-24 which is -10 LOL. The Studio Bridge doesnt support -10, and they just glaze over whatever snakes and hardware would have to be present to not run into noise issues. +10 marketing team!!!
@@TASCAMUSA So if I buy one for my M3500 group outs (summing off my MSR-16) - you are telling me there won't be added noise to the signal by boosting that much gain for a -10 signal coming in?
I . . . Don’t really see what niche this fills that a bunch of other audio interfaces already fulfill. I mean, if your direct outs are pre EQ, or are part of your channel inserts(as many are) then you are bypassing most of the console in record mode. If you have a console why do you need a summing bus? IF there were some modicum of plug in control for use case routing modes, or some extra functionality that was digitally controlled maybe I could start to see some usefulness. I’m just totally confused.
How many people does tascam think are recording like it’s 1994? Anyone recording with any type of console in 2024 wouldn’t waste $1000 on something that looks like a naked tape recorder
@@The_Catalyzt You can't really go DAWLESS. You can punch in/out and do some very minor edits which involve more menu steps than clicks on a DAW with a mouse. You also can only punch in max 10 tracks at a time. For drums, it is going to be an inconvenience if you've got a good sized set in the session. A smarter way to go DAWLESS, would be to create a product like the Behringer X touch which gives you a timeline, ability to set markers, punch in/out spots, and record right to hard disc.
notice, this guy is all alone when mixing and looking at a wall instead of through a large studio glass out to the band ? yeh, unfortunately thats the way it is these days... nobody records together anymore and nobody comes to a studio to record. Rather, the band usually records on it's own, the tracks, exports them all to an external hard drive and sends them to a studio in order to have someone professionally mix down and master. Thats what it looks like this guy is doing in this video. Please drop me off in 1994. thank you
There's a large glass window to his left which looks out into a live room, plus two additional iso booths. The dimensions of the control room don't allow for him to be sitting directly in front of that window.
@@TASCAMUSA I'm glad to hear he's getting session work. Hope it starts to come back again quickly. Thank you Tascam for making my world a lot better !! I purchased my first portastudio from you that got me off and running when I was 12 years old :)
@@xammai9679That's more like a 1974 budget. Studio time in 1994 was very high because the studios were still decked out with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of analog gear with staff and maintenance costs. Easily $800-1600 per day with no engineer for a top studio. Maybe $400-600 p/d for a lesser room. Then factor 2" and 1/2" tape .. and on and on. Not cheap. So a 24 track Tascam recorder for $999 will always be mind boggling to me. 😂
@@daviddreadnaughts7147 You can build a mix one track at a time with the Studio Bridge. Simply select what channels you'd like to start with, let's say 1-8 for drums, record arm them, then record. Next, we can add a guitar to channel 9 by record arming that channel, making sure the other 8 channels have been deflected, then push record. You can keep doing this and building a mix that way - same as all our Model Series units! And, this can all be done directly to the internal recorder!
After you record directly to sd card it takes a bit of time to process and this alone kills the workflow . . . it's such a hassle to rewind to the point where you started you just have to dive into the menu and setup the marker. . .this function should be added on the manual transporter if you want to use it as a stand alone recorder like tape machine or even an old Alesis hd24 . I love the way it does approach to a very very small target group of music producers these days but no 96k is a deal breaker for most daw users.
Rewinding to the start point of the track is as easy as tapping STOP twice. Also, MARK is right on the front panel - there are four buttons directly beneath the screen, the one on the far right is MARK.

Definite respect earned. Had it had midi controllable (automatable) line levels, I would sell my motu/apogee stuff and buy one. 1000%.
The best thing about this workflow is the return to monitoring through an analog console. Say is out loud: no latency!

“So, dude, also, just wanted to ask why you were hitting on Kelly yesterday.”
“Wuuuut?”

Is this unit class compliant like the other models in this series?
Yes, it is!
@ Wait a minute! So you’re saying that I can connect this to my MPC standalone? You guys have made me very happy!!! Thanks so much!

$999
I think is good i like this, but there's a level of if you have some boards with outputs a lot don't unless its just stereo outs !
The only thing I see I wish it would have included is higher sample rates.

Does this work with iPad daws?
If the USB is class compliant it "should" work well with an iPad. I believe USB2 is capable of 32x32 audio i/o.
🙂👍
No 96khz recording?
Tops out at 24/48.
Make it at least 24 bit 96 kHz and we have a deal.
