Great video! The headphone pre MAIN fader tip was an absolute gem! Thanks for that. I really wish there was more content on YT about the Model 12. It can be used so many ways, I'd really love to see how others are utilizing theirs.
Awesome..!!! I just bought this yesterday, in hopes that they would update this issue soon..and here before my unit has arrived in the mail, they have, awesome..!!!!
Oh yes! This was always my biggest complaint with my model12. I had to turn off my monitors when recording vocals .. it was so annoying.. I am gonna update mine today.. Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for explaining. Learned a lot from your movies. My next stage would be, after recording a song to make a mixdown where I can use my Tascam Model 12 faders to ajust the volumes. Maybe in a video next time? Many thanks. 😄
Thanks for the tips Sir i am going to get one Model 12 , i has been used SoundCraft and Zoom L-12 so many years but the one i really Love is Solid Stage Big 6 but they are too Expensive . i need Model 12 is they has 2 Aux and that the main things i would love to get it. Thanks Again Sir You Have a Wonderful Season Holiday and Family
Hi! I've been trying to find an answer to this on the manual but can't; can you e.g. connect an input source to channel 3, arm the DAW for monitoring and monitor the DAW's return on channel 3 (thus creating a software insert on channel 3)?
Thanks for this overview of the update. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this update still does not allow you to send a main or sub mix to the headphones when the headphones are plugged into the phones input on the Model 12. This means you cannot mix a song or tracks in the headphones, unless you plug them into the headphone socket of an external amp which is fed by the main or sub outs. This seems bizarre to me. I want to mix multitrack songs I've recorded on the Model 12 in my headphones that are plugged into the Model 12 phones socket. I have no interest in hooking up my Model 12 to a DAW by the way. I like it as a stand alone machine, but not having the ability to mix in the headphones drives me nuts.
There is no reason why you can't mix with headphones, regardless of this update or any USB connection to PC. It's a stand alone mixer and MTR. That's what the headphone outputs are for. Make sure each channel's Main button is selected. This update (1.30) allows you to set headphone pre main fader, so that if you have speakers connected to the main XLR output, you can turn the main fader down and still hear the mix in your headphones.
Hello After surfing the internet for a few hours, trying to find the best choice between the various recording consoles (Behringer, Tascam, Zoom, Presonus, etc.), I came across some of your videos about the Behringer Model 12 and decided to buy Behringer. I have been very attentive to your videos, I learn a lot from them and I have put your tips into practice. Just one question, if you please: What am I doing wrong, when I try to mix the recorded material and I don't hear the pan-pot, left/right on the headphones? Could you give me some help please?
If someone has problems with noise and artefacts when using EQ mid range (it was really bad with my bass drum mic) then get V1.30 and things will be much better! My Tascam was on V1.0 before, maybe the issue was solved with another firmware update. I am happy whatsoever.
Great update, now I have a question about sub hookup. I'm only using one sub with two full range. Do I run 2 cables from model 12 (sub left and right) to sub (input 1 and 2)?
Sub output is not filtered for just Low frequencies like for Sub-Woofers. It’s just another stereo output. Sub means substitute outputs on mixers. Hope this clears up. Having said that, you can use Sub outputs connected to sub-woofers and select Bass and Kick drum channels to it to help balance your PA system.
Does the usb multitrack record functionality work smoothly if you choose to use another soundcard as the output? I have no need to send the daw output to the Tascam at all and would much rather ave those two channels being used for no reason. If anyone runs the mixer like this do you aggregate the Devices?
Yes, you can aggregate 2 interfaces and use the second just for output. If you are on Windows OS, here is a demo th-cam.com/video/YFux87bvCG4/w-d-xo.html
Hi - I have subscribed to you. Am I right in saying that if I am hosting a Zoom call and connected via USB from the model 12 to my Mac, the return audio would return into channels 1 & 2? - would'nt that make them redundant as inputs? If this is true, is there a work around? I am trying to operate without a DAW. Please help. Thank you.
The Mic connected to Ch1 or Ch2 still gets sent to Zoom, the return from Zoom on Ch1 & 2 then can be heard. I don't know if Zoom supports multi-channel audio selection.
Stupid question, but is it possible to record in the DAW via USB channels being sent to the sub mix? Or can you only access channels being sent to the main mix? To clarify, I would plug my guitar into say channel 3, have it sent to sub mix which would go out into my guitar amp processor (digital modeler) and then out from that modeler back into say tracks 4+5 which is sent to main. I don't want to HEAR my sub mix (since it's my raw guitar tone) but I would still want to record it to be able to do re-amping later. Is this possible? :)
You are routing the audio correctly. Ch 3 into your DAW or MTR will be the raw/dry audio, then with only SUB enabled, will only go out of SUB outputs into your rig. The return to inputs at CH4 & 5 and the wet audio will be sent to DAW on CH 4/5 or on the MTR. Having CH4/5 with MAIN enabled, you hear the guitar tone you like, but still, have the raw guitar for re-amping. This video might give you extra help th-cam.com/video/_ARIvL9D4aM/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to send PC audio output to channels 9/10? Its really annoying having to use both channel 1 and 2 together for audio output as now I need to use two faders to manually balance the left and right speakers. And I want to use those channels for instruments.
@@RecordingStudio9 I was hoping to perform with live instruments and software instruments and be able to adjust/edit the tracks simultaneously. It sound's like I'll just need one extra midi controller for the ableton so it's not a huge deal I think.
Hi! Is it possible to receive back audio from DAW in every channel in other to do an analogic summing such as in Soundcraft 22 MTK or just in channels 1 and 2 as you said?
Yes, you get 10 return back to each channel from DAW. But, the mixer is not analog, so you won't be getting that 'analog' sound. Here is my playlist th-cam.com/video/4juXv0gCfY8/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I recently bought this mixer for recording drums into logic pro x. Issue is my recordings sound really low and far away. Mics are beta 52, sm57, sm58, sennheiser 604, sterling condenser mic. Is this a good mixer for drums and guitars? I'm coming from apogee duet 2.
Thanks for this. My problem is using Logic and GB in my Mac M1, I can get any other platform to playback through the Model 12., like a TH-cam video, or Amazon music, for example..But I can't get sound to playback through the Model 12 from Logic, it sees the mixer, and it will react to inputs, but the sound will not come back through the mixer. It will playback through my regular powered speakers, though. I'm at my wit's end, trying to figure this out. It makes no sense, to me.
I don't own a Mac, but check the Logic X main output and make sure it's CH 1&2 and set the Mode switch to PC for those channels (I assume you already do as you can hear TH-cam). Check your Mac's Core Audio setup too. In few of my Model 12 videos, I demonstrate how I use CH 9&10 as my return audio from my DAW, that might help you understand as well.
You can set each channel pre Comp and EQ, post Comp / pre EQ or post Comp & EQ, but always pre fader. Here is the video you can watch th-cam.com/video/JkhGr7RBHhM/w-d-xo.html
Very cool im looking at gettinga model 24 for my set up.one basic question. Is it easy setting it up to be your soundcard for a laptop? When i play media on my computer will it play through the monitors i have plugged into the model 24?
Hi, Does anyone know if you can control the DAW with the Tascam, whilst using a different/seperate audio interface? Also, Isit possible to insert and send external effects?
I am trying to install this new Firmware update but when I uncompress the Zip file it shows 5 files two of which are pdf's, 2 are tiny text files, and one is titled "Model12_88.130" and is 1,711kb in size. It doesn't say "Install" and it doesn't have an .exe extension. I can't get it to open so I can't install this update. Anybody else having this issue?
@@RecordingStudio9 That seems to have worked. Thank you for pointing me to the instrucions. LOL. Now I just have to figure out how to get the Sample and bit rates to match so it will work with Studio One. I can see what the sample and bit rates are for the Model 12 (44/42) but I can only see 44.1hz for Studio One and can't find the menu of function that allows me to select or change it. Can you offer any advice on that?
I changed the Sample and bit rates in WIndows 10 to match the Model 12 but Studio one still wont recognize my Model 12 speakers or Mic - every time I start the DAW it says "no audio will be recorded". The Tascam Model 12 does not show up in the list of interfaces or Audio devices for Studio one Artist 4.
When I open the program it says j"Failed to open speakers (Model 12) and Failed to open Microphone (Model 12) and "Audio Playback is disables. Audio recording is disabled.

Glad they fixed that head phone problem, kind of of an oversite on their part, but then again its a relatively new product.
Great to see a company listening to their customers' requests.
Thanks I updated the other day. Thanks for the info..
Very helpful as always. Thanks!
Good they got the headphone issue fixed. Means I use the Sub output for something else
Yes, to use it for what it was intended for. A Sub output.
Thanks for explaining. Learned a lot from your movies. My next stage would be, after recording a song to make a mixdown where I can use my Tascam Model 12 faders to ajust the volumes.
Maybe in a video next time? Many thanks. 😄
Thank you for the heads up. I was still using 1.20 lol
I like that they added Reaper, because I use that one :o)

I’ll check it out soon. Not sure it can.
Just checked documentation and the answer is no, not possible.

Yes, just set your DAW main output to 9/10. That’s what I do as well.
Weird thing, I set it to 9/10 in Cubasis on the iPad, but for some weird reason it still sends to both 1/2 and 9/10.
I just bought the model 12. Kinda wish I had seen this first because now I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what I was hoping to do.

@@RecordingStudio9 I was hoping to perform with live instruments and software instruments and be able to adjust/edit the tracks simultaneously. It sound's like I'll just need one extra midi controller for the ableton so it's not a huge deal I think.
You can do that with ease. Use the channel mode slider switch to select live input or PC return for VSTi playback.
wow they added Reaper I am very interested.

Weather you record mono or stereo on 7/8, 9/10, they are mono stem files, meaning file for 7, and file for 8 etc.

No, MIDI Master controller only. It does have a footswitch socket you can set to start stop Model 12.

Yes, you can set it up as multi-channel or for media playback, the simple stereo USB mode will work fine too.
Hello. Is the firmware update applicable to models 12/16/24 especially the DAW controller?
It's applicable only to Model 12. Model 12 is the only one with DAW Controller mode.

Make sure you update to the firmware 1.30.
You may also have one of the channels or Aux PFL on, locking the headphones to PFL only.
use as a interface not t0 control use .you a get better use that way l0l
