Hi, thank you for the review. I know I'm late - you already sold the unit. I'm still figuring out that monitoring issue (don't have unit yet), but for those who just came, here is what I've cut from the manual and might be helpful: "Connecting headphones: Connect headphones to the PHONES jack (standard stereo). The following signals can be monitored according to the SOLO and AFL switch settings. * Signals output from the MAIN OUTPUT connectors * Signals output from the SOLO L/R bus * Signals output from the AUX 1 bus * Signals output from the AUX 2/FX bus" And about monitoring, looks like the SUB output is intended for this: "Monitoring is important when recording and mastering. With this unit, monitoring is possible using an external monitoring system (powered monitor speakers or an amp and speakers) or using stereo headphones. Use the SUB fader and PHONES knob to adjust the level of the monitoring system."

I got the model 12 last July and love it. Was using a Tascam 424 mk iii (cassette 4 tracker) before and the things I miss from my 424 are the pitch control and not having the ability to rewind and punch in when I make a mistake. Going to be experimenting with sending tracks out of the model 12 back into the 424 to give it that special tone (tape compression) and comparing the mixes. I love the clean sound of the model 12 but also miss the way tape analog gave it a little something special.

I’m in the same camp, my porta 4 track just sounds great, even the noise floor isn’t too bad with dbx but not enough channels without bouncing down is limiting my workflow. I might run my stuff back to two stereo tape when mastering cause yeah, all these modern recordings sound like a bad creed record to me, kinda bristle sounding, well i guess thats the opposite to warm. I haven’t found a modern system I like the sound of out of straight except hearing a midas 32 but it sucks to work with, for me anyway. The midas might have been the compressors and or it was just the nuemann U 87 that made it sound good though, didn’t hear anything else on it that sounded specifically good and perhaps I would get tired of the sound without enough time on it. I think I might get one of these tascams

And surely they could bring back the pitch control, i found it essential to find where a mix bounced just perfectly and that you could shift cadence with voice or whatever like the beetles did with their voices on tape (though I thought that sounded crap too lol), sometimes the feeling is near impossible to create without a variable knob at your fingers, if I buy one of these I will prob still mix down to tascam to find the right feel with speed then rerecord everything at the new tempo if I have to, or start on the 4 track, find the speed, copy to a channel on the 24 and play in the other channels, surely someone could invent a solid state magnetic recorder that sounds like tape but is feeding into a digital signal path like cmos cameras do with light, a quantum dot solid state metal sound sensor

Gold review. A few other points on the headphone out issue - In the Mixer menu there is an option to toggle AFL/PLF mode. In AFL mode the headphones and the main out get exactly the same output at all time as you state in the video. But in PFL mode that’s not the case... when you hit a solo button the headphones get the solo track while the main mix keeps playing. You can use this to check levels while mixing a band without interrupting what the audience hears. Further FYI, the Model 16 ONLY has a PFL solo mode, no AFL capability. However the solo mix and headphones are strictly via by the Control Room fader not the main. Also the buttons below the headphone volume on the Model 12 do allow the headphones to hear a completely separate mix - the Aux bus, which can be configure and selected as pre or post fader in the menu as you wish. I do wish they had made this button 3 way (main/aux/sub).

the headphone vs speaker monitors bums me out. I have a Yamaha mg82cx and the headphone volume is dependent on the monitor speaker output. If you were to use the headphones you need to put the monitor speaker volume to 2-3 and then the headphone volume would work. Of course you need to lower the monitor speaker volume on the speaker itself. The problem is that if you turn on the monitor speaker volume and you have the headphones plugged as well it would blow the headphones speaker if you left it at high enough. You would need to remember to turn whatever you wont be using down.

okay, so I actually don't use the daw controller mode until I'm ready to mix, and then you just make sure each track is in its right spot. the faders on the unit will affect the daw faders only when moved on the physical unit. so you open a song and your faders dont match the model 12, as long as you don't adjust them physically they won't affect your daw... conversely as soon as you touch thebfader in daw controller mode it activates it. I hope this helps?

The pre amps in the model 12 can get usable sound with the sm7, but for the extra 200 bucks you get the extra clean gain with a cloudlifter. I use a lot of different mics, and the model 12 works great with them all. The sm7 is just known for being an extremely quiet mic. I’d give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 for my use, and see nothing else in the price range that does all this does. My only real complaint is the fact that headphone and main out are not able to be split without a hassle. Otherwise it’s the perfect unit.

Are you sure you are actually recording? I made a mistake when I first got it and forgot to put an sd card in it....I generally use it with my computer. The only other thing I can think is that your main mix volume is cut somewhere I would try to turn all the sliders up to an audible level on the first 2 channels and sub/main mixes and switch to meter mode on the channels you want to hear. See if you get sound at all, then you can troubleshoot where your main issue is coming from by deduction

Ok also what daw are you using, and make sure your asio drivers are up to date, then make sure in device settings your input and output are set to the model 12, then you should be good to go as far as connected to the computer. Then in the rascal menu set usb to stereo mix out, and select the tracks you want to use as an interface on the 3 way switches pc or direct, depending on purpose. You should be able to get sound if if any of this makes sense..... if not, I’ll try my best to help ya out!

It is an audio interface, so of course it can replace whatever soundcard you are using. I suggest reading the specs on the Tascam website.

Hi, I'm really interested in this unit. I already own a MOTU M2 for audio interface so I was looking to purchase this to use exclusively as a DAW control surface. Would it be possible to use all tracks for just VST instruments? Will I be able to adjust the knobs while recording the VSTs or only after? Thanks!!

Get a grip, and do something productive instead of pissing on the contributions of others with your bile.
