I think there is a growing movement of engineers and producers that are decidedly going after organic results via tape, distortion and outboard gear. This is a great option for the old schoolers and tinkerers out there who want the best of both worlds. They can be both out of the box and in the box. I see value in that as it preserves their organic artistic approaches while offering other digital solutions/inspirations.
@@willmcelroy6376 hahah ok ok - schoolers works too. But again I will say that this tech is great for technology investigators and schoolers of various age backgrounds, lol. I've noticed a lot of amazing artists recently embracing experimentation with analog equipment - particularly tape machines. I've enjoyed the results many have achieved. There's something special about the jitter, warmth and harmonics that comes out of that and can be hard to replicate "in the box".
Man that Tascam machine looks epic. Its crazy how technology changes. Our school ( music department )had an old 4 track tascam tape recorder in the 80's and now look at this tascam recorder, it's brilliant 👏 Thanks very much Manny, you da man 👊✊. The band are pretty good also, good vibes
I'm a fan of the Model series. I have a Model 24 and a Model 16 I don't use very often but when I go out to record anybody they work great. The studio Bridge looks like a pretty cool addition to the series.
@@Denver_Risley if you have a PA system at a rehearsal it’s almost a no-brainer just to pat that in and record everything and then you can take it back home. It just seems really easy and it eliminates that whole wasps nest of cabling and converters
I've got the Model 24 mixer and I use it as my primary live board. As well, I use it for day of pay backs off of my 16 track tape machine and making fast rough mixes.
Always loved this one. Such original tones. Well done Manny! Re SD cards, as a system designer for large CCTV systems, all I can say is ensure you buy Video Grade SDXC cards (V class cards). The read write requirements for 24trks will *kill* a shitty, cheap card, and most likely it will be mid-session.
This looks awesome, lots of possibilities for studio use. I currently use the model 24 in a similar way. I run all my inputs into the mixer then out to the computer via USB. I think the studio bridge would sound even better though
I’ve used the Tascam 12 as my dawless recorder. I’m started getting into outboard gear and this is perfect for what I’m looking for. Well done Tascam! I really love the Tascam 2400 but have no room for that… yet. Analog goodness. I must say the model 12 has been the best investment for dawless- midi etc recording a bunch of synths. I’ve almost outgrown it as far as inputs and outputs. But perhaps with the bridge and outboard gear I may have a few more channels? If not I’d use it in the studio. Very cool
This looks great, love the simplicity and purpose built approach. Sort like a digital version of a tape machine. I think you're the first to put up a video of this unit. Look like you're limited to recording @48khz 24 bit and a 512GB SD card -- which is obviously not bad at all. Just something to note.

@@mannysmiclocker Totally, and I can confirm cost. My rig uses two Apollos for tracking, an x16 and an x8. So 24 in and 24 out. I frontend all of it with various mic preamps and a handful of compressors. Just the Apollos (bought both on the secondary market) cost me $5500.
Would be great if it had an expansion slot for a digital interconnect like MADI. I could run one alongside my DAW just recording non-stop as a fulltime safety. Never miss that magic run-thru while you're setting up the session for the next song.

Why tf do folks keep saying that this is a digital version of a tape machine???? Nothing like a digital version of a studer 827. More like 3 Tascam DA98s with interfaces built tf in them and no moving parts. Which is more than great. Because it uses durable SD cards with tons of space compared to Hi-8mm digital video tapes that need to be sync tf together x 3 to make it to 24 tracks. Tascam got a winner with this s8*&*. I swear!!!!!! Use this s8&& the same way you would use ADATS or DA98s motherf*****
hey Manny! I loved your track! I wanted to ask you how would you hook up some 500 modules on the Tascam Model 2400 mixer? I know its a different device, but I've seen the newer mixer has inserts on it, and I want to work with a mixer recorder to do live and home recording too.
Well shit I just purchased a used but in excellent condition Model 24 about 2 months and love it but this looks awesome! Did you run your outboard gear through it? And one more question does it have a USB to run it directly into your DAW? Thanks Manny the song was awesome as well.
@@ohstudiousa I used only mic pres as mics front end and mixed template Protools like a console for mixing. I want a 24! So handy and this is great if you have a venue! Every band recored on desk. Kinda rad if people can utilize.
@@mannysmiclocker first thing it's good to know that you're an early riser like myself 🙂 thanks for replying. Are the cables included or do you have to buy those separately?

@@mannysmiclocker After exhausting efforts to find a huge mixer that has 24 outputs ! found one sound craft board being Canadian is going to cost me 7k or more LOL, Its been very hard to find anything, so ya using say my focusrite octopre has a db25 output, you would need about 3 of them to get the 24 track hook up, but at least you could just use db-25 to db-25 cables as long as the pin hook up will work ? have to look at the manual again since they show this diagram you will need.

Hey Manny, do you have any info regarding latency? I'm thinking tracking, but also if you are using this in the mixing stage with outboard EQs and compressors.
@@alexbreyer6921 you know I’m not sure I didn’t get a chance to use it and I’ve already sent back this demo to Chicago but that would be something they would have in its specs. I’ll ask one of the technicians there about the late and see if there is any, I didn’t hear any on the tracking, but that would be really easy to figure out.
The closest to this device I can think of is a MOTU 16A, which only has 16 analog I/O channels and no SD card recorder, they run for around $1500. Show me just one $1000 interface with 24 actual analog inputs and outputs, integrated SD card recorder and DAW control. I’ll wait…
@@poxcr lol, good point. The closest I can think of is behringer wing rack, but thats 1600, but also with more capabilities. Zoom might have some stuff…but I see your point👍
@@mannysmiclocker Not sure venues would benefit much, though. Most places have already switched to digital and are running at least something like a Behringer X32, which can send/receive 32 discrete tracks via USB, and even record directly to an SD card with a cheap $150 expansion module.
I'm really struggling to conceive of a practical use case. Maybe if you do remote recording and need a backup to your DAW? Maybe for live recordings at a club? Okay, I thought of two cases.
the dsuyb in/outs go well with a lot of mixnig boards found in venues, it's great to do live show recordings or for mixed use, or to use with an analog console with dsub outs
@@NotFound-ll5kc I think if you had a live venue, this would be really great just record all the bands that came in and then you could make some later I mean that’s best case scenario
@@mannysmiclocker Yes, this is one of the two use scenarios I mentioned, and the only one that makes sense, presuming the venue has an analog board with direct channel outs or 24 busses.
Another use case is simply people that want to record live bands that don't like using a computer/recording software, and people that have a limited budget since you can literally pick up an old analog console for $500 (or even less) and have a very decent recording rig for under $2,000. This would probably be for pre-production and good sounding demos, but plenty of platinum-selling records were made in the 90's using 3 ADATs (24 tracks) and an analog console (Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill comes to mind).
I wouldn't call it an "interface". I'd call it what it really is ....a 24trk recorder....24 analog in/24 analog out. And at about the same size as the old Tascam Midiizer! :)
It is an audio interface. You can send / receive 24 channel audio to any DAW. I’m at a loss as to why they didn’t include master out to go to speakers but everything else makes sense.
What you’re saying is probably true but the fact that it was made to be more of a tool for a recording enthusiast, and it leaves the name and the options open for people to be creative with it. I think he just wanted to put this in different hands and have people run with it.
@@AxeRocker88 thing is you can hear each individual track, but they have masters out going to speakers would not give the full picture. It’s not a mixer doesn’t have pan knobs or feeders so there’s no way to control the sounds that are coming through it all at once, so if you want to monitor, I guess you could somehow figure out some thing within the patchbay to be more elaborate but yes, it’s not a mixer, but it’s a recorder in its simplest form
Based on the comments, it looks like nobody understands what this product is for unless they've been craving for something like it for a long time. I hope Tascam is able to get their point across. It'd be sad for such an amazing product to be a flop.
@@poxcr you were like me I mean I just took it out of the box and recorded a full session with it. Its possibilities are if you craved analog style recording, you can use it with a console! If your club owner and he wanted to document all the bands, a bar or venue this is your jam! and that’s off the top my head, so I’m sure there’s many ways to use this. Because I’ve been recording for about 35 years bands and I know modern technology makes it easy for inputs and outputs digitally! But this one unit that has a play button and a record button is what sets it apart from your average Joe converter or anything you want to turn key and record your music?
It seems like a multitrack recorder with 24 tracks. Is that what it is? The reason I (the comments) don't understand it is because this video didn't show the back of the unit. Does it have XLR plugs or line or what? Or did I miss where he showed that?
@@mauchkimberly It has 24 inputs and 24 outputs on DB25 connectors that you can use to connect your preamps, a recording console, or even just a basic mixer if all you want is to mix outside the box. For example you could send up to 24 individual tracks (or stems) to a mixer, and then record the mixer master out back into your DAW. You can also record directly to the Studio Bridge if you wanted to, completely ditching your DAW.
@@poxcr connect your preamps, a recording console, or even just a basic mixer ? i'd like too see how easy this is to do ? where is a basic mixer that has DB-25 HOOK UP ?
3:36 is so not true. It was a sales pitch. You can get 24 in to your computer very inexspensively. That figure. $$$$ lets do some A/B tests for those claims. That is a nice looking recorder. the cost for people is all the preamps and mixer... so $$$$ that is the conversation... after that A/B test!~ ;)
@@morbidmanmusic thank you for sharing but I completely disagree with you. This is a unit that could be an every club across America because it just runs off a piece system and you can record live bands. Even rehearsal rooms you could be using it for recording sessions more for pre-production that’s my feeling I spoke the truth there and I don’t really do a sales pitch. I used it and I liked it but everybody has an opinion. Thank you so much for sharing.
@@wakinglife7065 It is just an interface/recorder with 24 inputs and 24 outputs. It can connect to anything you want, including a mixer for analog summing/mixdown, that's what makes this thing great!
That's awesome ! I really cant understand why these company's wont make these with the SD cards or SD drives even better now ? they could have like 32 or more tracks system and it would be so great like the old days, but i guess tascam is reaping all the benefits !
This the best they could come up with ? Ya i looked this all up um ? wow this is not really anything good ? what were they thinking, each dp25 cable going to cost like 70 a piece not to mention you need a huge mixer ?and i looked up the specs might as well buy the old ones they came out with a few years ago i'll just stick with my dp24 and my Roland vs-2480 now thats a machine they seem to be lazy to make now !
@@christopherdunn317 I did enjoy recording band and hearing results. Lots of people out there not interested in computer recording as this is kinda old school Tascam Styles.
@@mannysmiclocker Oh no i didn't mean that, but i thought after the latest mixers there would be sort of a better porta studio but it looks like that cheap LCD again, and you have to buy all the cables for that ? id rather buy there high end recorder with the dp25 cables i'll just stick with my tascam dp24
@@christopherdunn317 I've been at this since the 70's. Soldering is a fundamental studio skill. This way you can mix and match connectors to the DB25 anyway you want.

@@poxcr Thx. $999, exactly what I expected the price point to be.
Better buy a console now before the price goes up - :)
@@jondufresne6624 right?!
They're already difficult to find! :(
Sounds Distorted
He did have 3&4 a little hot you can even see meters were blinking ! and levels were high as well.
I wouldn't call it an "interface". I'd call it what it really is ....a 24trk recorder....24 analog in/24 analog out. And at about the same size as the old Tascam Midiizer! :)
It is an audio interface. You can send / receive 24 channel audio to any DAW. I’m at a loss as to why they didn’t include master out to go to speakers but everything else makes sense.
What you’re saying is probably true but the fact that it was made to be more of a tool for a recording enthusiast, and it leaves the name and the options open for people to be creative with it. I think he just wanted to put this in different hands and have people run with it.
@@AxeRocker88 thing is you can hear each individual track, but they have masters out going to speakers would not give the full picture. It’s not a mixer doesn’t have pan knobs or feeders so there’s no way to control the sounds that are coming through it all at once, so if you want to monitor, I guess you could somehow figure out some thing within the patchbay to be more elaborate but yes, it’s not a mixer, but it’s a recorder in its simplest form
Based on the comments, it looks like nobody understands what this product is for unless they've been craving for something like it for a long time. I hope Tascam is able to get their point across. It'd be sad for such an amazing product to be a flop.
@@poxcr you were like me I mean I just took it out of the box and recorded a full session with it. Its possibilities are if you craved analog style recording, you can use it with a console! If your club owner and he wanted to document all the bands, a bar or venue this is your jam! and that’s off the top my head, so I’m sure there’s many ways to use this. Because I’ve been recording for about 35 years bands and I know modern technology makes it easy for inputs and outputs digitally! But this one unit that has a play button and a record button is what sets it apart from your average Joe converter or anything you want to turn key and record your music?
It seems like a multitrack recorder with 24 tracks. Is that what it is? The reason I (the comments) don't understand it is because this video didn't show the back of the unit. Does it have XLR plugs or line or what? Or did I miss where he showed that?
@@mauchkimberly It has 24 inputs and 24 outputs on DB25 connectors that you can use to connect your preamps, a recording console, or even just a basic mixer if all you want is to mix outside the box. For example you could send up to 24 individual tracks (or stems) to a mixer, and then record the mixer master out back into your DAW. You can also record directly to the Studio Bridge if you wanted to, completely ditching your DAW.
@@poxcr connect your preamps, a recording console, or even just a basic mixer ? i'd like too see how easy this is to do ? where is a basic mixer that has DB-25 HOOK UP ?
@@christopherdunn317 Just use plain ol' DB25 to TRS snakes.
3:36 is so not true. It was a sales pitch. You can get 24 in to your computer very inexspensively. That figure. $$$$ lets do some A/B tests for those claims. That is a nice looking recorder. the cost for people is all the preamps and mixer... so $$$$ that is the conversation... after that A/B test!~ ;)
@@morbidmanmusic thank you for sharing but I completely disagree with you. This is a unit that could be an every club across America because it just runs off a piece system and you can record live bands. Even rehearsal rooms you could be using it for recording sessions more for pre-production that’s my feeling I spoke the truth there and I don’t really do a sales pitch. I used it and I liked it but everybody has an opinion. Thank you so much for sharing.
My 20+ year old mackie HDR24 does everything this does…. Nothing new to see here.
@@joecandy6490 thanks for sharing J!
True, but they are hard to find, go for around $1500 - $2000 used and they don't include a 24/24 interface you can use with a DAW.
Can it connect to outboard gear and sum?
@@wakinglife7065 It is just an interface/recorder with 24 inputs and 24 outputs. It can connect to anything you want, including a mixer for analog summing/mixdown, that's what makes this thing great!
That's awesome ! I really cant understand why these company's wont make these with the SD cards or SD drives even better now ? they could have like 32 or more tracks system and it would be so great like the old days, but i guess tascam is reaping all the benefits !
This the best they could come up with ? Ya i looked this all up um ? wow this is not really anything good ? what were they thinking, each dp25 cable going to cost like 70 a piece not to mention you need a huge mixer ?and i looked up the specs might as well buy the old ones they came out with a few years ago i'll just stick with my dp24 and my Roland vs-2480 now thats a machine they seem to be lazy to make now !
@@christopherdunn317 I did enjoy recording band and hearing results. Lots of people out there not interested in computer recording as this is kinda old school Tascam Styles.
@@mannysmiclocker Oh no i didn't mean that, but i thought after the latest mixers there would be sort of a better porta studio but it looks like that cheap LCD again, and you have to buy all the cables for that ? id rather buy there high end recorder with the dp25 cables i'll just stick with my tascam dp24
@@christopherdunn317 I've been at this since the 70's. Soldering is a fundamental studio skill. This way you can mix and match connectors to the DB25 anyway you want.
Just Book a session with Manny.
@@crymearobot Ha totally! Thank you✔️⚡️🎯
Still not as powerful as the Roland VS2480 with automated mixing. No editing features either.
Good! So don't get one. This was never intended to be a standalone workstation anyway.
Well yes i trying to convince myself do i need this ? and i say yes LOL ! But i also have the Roland, and yes it has a lot of stuff this is just a recorder, but it can do 24 in and out Roland can only do 16 at once !
@@poxcr No. I am going to get two of them because they don't live up to the ROLAND standard and it's like a car without windows. In fact, I'll get three of them. Thanks!
@@christopherdunn317 Maybe you could use them together? Unfortunately, In my market I have never had to use more than 14 tracks at once.
nifty! we're going to try it out. i want to stop using avid in the worst way. my tech says it will hook right up to our rupert neve 5088.
@@MediaWest like a picture it will capture sound and how cool to tell a artist we will always be recording!
