@@424Recording Hey, thx for remembering me, lol. Only now saw this. Maybe the wrong post, but I had a generalized comment, lol. Since cassettes have made a comeback, I wonder why Tascam or someone don't start making 4-tracks again. I have the feeling that will nvr happen. I had the very 1st Teac 144 (sic?) which I flipped millions of burgers and sold 3 kidneys for. I paid $850, USED, in 1981. Gear used to be butt-ass expensive then. Since 4-track cassette is well on it's way to being dead (regretfully), at least it's not like there's a huge paucity of multitracking means. In my...excuse my blasphemy... *ahem*... *hem* *haw*...uhh... DAWs... please don't kick me in the scrote... there are a lot of free and cheap VSTs; "Vintager Toy" is a cool free one. It actually has a dial where you can dial in the year you want to sound like... I choose "1966" a lot. And there's a VST of a consumer reel tape recorder which was sold in Japan during the 60s, called "Reels", by Audio...something lol, which does lo fi/tape REALLY well. And many full-range studio-grade tape sims out there will lend good color to things. And VST tube compressors, such as the free Klanghelm "MJUC jr", which made my throw-together drumkit based around a kid's Stagg drumkit, with "real" cymbals and hi hat, extra "real" floor tom added, sound crazy great. I think I'm pretty damn punk rock for using stuff like that, hahaha. And honestly it doesn't sound bad at all, Stagg know how to make them. Next time yr in a music store that's got a mini "toy" drumkit on display, check it out, mine is a blast, lol. Idk, I'm just expressing all is not necessarily lost bc of the demise of 4TC, although that sucks. That sharp device you're demoing here is a pretty major "band aid" for quelling the no 4-track "ouchie" to a degree! Great song!

Dude, that Silvertone guitar sounds so much like Beck. I got to a play a friend's Silvertone recently and thought, gee this sounds familiar. It's also the Be Cool Cowboy guitar. Thanks for this vid Mike. I'm still kinda torn between the Model 12 and Model 24. I mean, 24 tracks sounds really awesome for recording a full band with a few overdubs. But the Model 12 is the only one that's a DAW controller, and it would be really rad to have that interactivity where moving knobs and faders for mixing and EQ in post, but then I could save those settings in the DAW. But I guess these work just as well as standalone units, like a digital 424 with may more tracks and no need to bounce. I hardly use the 424 anymore, just for acoustic demos or playing backwards tape or messing with the tape speed. Hope all is well Mike!

I believe if you press the "INST" button right next to the "LOW CUT" the signal gains a significant boost. According to the manual, the instrument button is there to lower the gain on pre-amplified signals. To me it looks like you had it unswitched from the video which is perhaps why the signal on the 5th channel sounded so low.

Actually there is a way to bus that might work on model 12. You can do it by using your inserts. Normally an Insert sends the signal through a Y cable to an external hardware's input and then from the exterrnal hardware's output the signal returns through the channel's insert. Try to put the connector to the insert on model 12 halfway through, meaning you just want to connect the part of the connector that just sends the signal, not the part that is used for the return. So now the signal will not loop, it will go out from the channel without the need to return to it, you now have to insert the other end of the cable to the channel line input you want to bus it. Try it, and let me know!

Great song Mike! I have been burning my projects straight to disc (have a tascam cd burner). I have been lazy to learn how "master" a mix with the top right section of this unit, there is another EQ and tone shaping section up there. I do have 2 XLR to RCA jacks that go out the main output into my cd burner, BUT i was lazy and just ran 2 quarter inch to RCA adapters out the headphone jacks straight into my cd burner. anyways, a future video about using the top right section would be great. thanks.

Saves you from having to unplug an replug haha. Hey whatever works! I will, dude! Got a lot of ideas with this, there will be many more Model 12 videos to come!

I never had a problem with it in a live setting, so maybe it just needs a preamp in recording situations. Idk about you but I also sing kind of at a low volume, so maybe that has something to do with it as well. I could imagine the effects would help, as they add another gain stage and potentially raise the volume. I'll have to check that out with the Model 12 comp. I didn't notice that. Maybe it can be compensated with the low EQ?

@jamessicilia9125

3 жыл бұрын

​@@424Recording I think a clean preamp/ boost, or distortion based on what you are going for, as im sure you probably have some rack pres or something suitable that might fix this if you dont want to use the gain from the tascam. Distortion, or loud vocals really can make the 58a shine, which is probably why we are crankin that gain knob to get the sound we are accustomed to hearing out of it. So in the event that you are singing low volume and cant push air to get the sound out of a 58a/58, that distortion really helps get a more pronounced sound( which is usually attributed by reverb or something similar in a live setting). I used to just use an ibanez ts9 to boost volume and maybe add some distortion/compression, but now I use a tiny bit of distortion, maybe some pre or post delay through this zoom pedal to get the job done, maybe push the track to my daw if anything needs to be taken any farther. Ill have to see test what the EQ can make up for when it come to what the compressor on the unit is taking out, I always try to be conservative with using EQ as I always butcher tracks when I use too much so I honestly haven't approached it like that.

How do you export out the tracks you mix with EQ and effects??? Awesome video and thank you!

@424Recording

There's a setting called Post EQ that you need to set the channels to. You can also record the master outs to another interface.

That was just perfect! Something I want to understand though is now that you’ve saved, will you be able to go into the SD card on a computer etc and all of you individual track WAV files will be available?

I actually do this a lot for voice overs. All of the tracks that are recorded are available as a separate WAV based on the track number and how the recording is setup (mine's Post EQ) and also as a master 2-channel WAV if you've created one.

Heyoooo maybe you can help? I want to start re amping my recordings. I basically need to send signal out of my DAW and into a reamp box so I get new tones with my pedals and amps. Can I send a signal out of my daw and out of the Tascam or do I need an audio interface with outputs? If I can do it with the Tascam how would I do that? Thanks!

Thanks, great tutorial. Not really my style but by the end the song got stuck in my head anyways. The only complaint I have is that you show the price in this video and I wanted to share it with my wife because I bought her Model 12 for Christmas and she's learning how to use it now, but I don't want her to see how much it cost ;) Also, it'd be nice to see/hear a synth track being recorded as well (I can't really find any examples of people using this recorder with synths, but I guess that's because it's relatively new still). As for the device itself, I wish Model 12 had more flexible routing and at least one more FX/insert channel, especially since it's all digital so routing should be trivial. My biggest disappointment so far is the lack of option to mix several channels down into one, but maybe it's there and I haven't found it yet. Like when you recorded several layers of vocals it'd be nice to mix them down into one stereo pair of channels, don't you think? I'd definitely love to see more videos about Model 12. Hopefully a bit more detailed, without skipping some settings.

@424Recording

3 жыл бұрын

I'll keep that in mind, re: synth video. Yeah, I haven't seen too many videos out there either for the 12 but there are a few for using the 16/24 which would hopefully be similar. You can mix down the tracks to a stereo mix and then put those tracks onto another track by "swapping" tracks; not sure if this can all be done internally or not. I wish there was a way to use different FX vs a single global FX. I'll definitely be making more Model 12 videos this year so stay tuned! Happy recording!

Wait! You need to show how to bounce all that down to one stereo track! This was a great tutorial. I used a Roland VS 1680 for years (20 years ago), so a lot of this is similar. But the analog knobs for all the tracks is great. I intended to get one of these soon. However, on the Roland, you could click and assign all those tracks to a stereo track and do a big mix down to clear up tracks and keep going. How do you do that here? I would mix it all down and “master’ a final mix. Can you show that ? I bet you have to take your master out (stereo) and patch it in to the far left stereo track? Nice. Old school. Like me. Would love to see it done. This was awesome. Thank you for all that work. Lucky you.

How do you format the SD card for the model 12? I literally just got mine & I'm not seeing anything about it in the manual or anything online except for the model 24. 🤷

Tbh I’m stuck in choosing the appropriate mixer. I’m in between a Korg MW mixer or the new Tascam Models. I own a TR8, TB3, Korg KP3, Microkorg, CDJ, MPC, Guitar, Piano, Bass Guitar, a Boss Over-Drive Pedal, and a Boss Sp Sampler as of right now. So for a total of 11 hardware pieces/equipment what mixers are generally suggested? (including channel wise) I’m new to music and producing and would like to learn how to a build a workflow with mixer integration. Thank you!

You'd probably want to look into the Model 16 or 24 given the amount of inputs. I'm new to this workflow, too, but I like the idea of having each on of your instruments patched into different channels and then recording whatever you need for a given project. I'm really enjoying the Model 12 and it solves a lot of problems in my home studio setup, mainly routing audio from different sources into one set of monitors. Even just for that, it is dope! Good luck and happy recording!

It appears ro me that the green light on COMP compression is always illuminated in the video even when dialed to the OFF setting yet mine only lights up at higher settings. Why is that?

I have tried difference way to record video and my songs with Tascam effects through USB with my android Smart phone like I do with my audio interface , however it does't work, it mean I can't record anything over USB with OTG adapter to my phone. I even can't find any instruction in manual book. I just want to sing and with my guitar , my video come directly from the tascam.

Is there a way to go back and edit out the clam just before the guitar solo?

Yeah. Recording some silence over that would work

Very nice video, thank you!! I have a question, I didn't understand if it is also possible to export the tracks separately, in order to mix for example on a DAW having each single track. (Maybe you already said it but I didn't hear!)

Thanks for watching! When you save a project, it saves all the tracks separately in the MTR folder. They'll be numbered according to the track they were recording onto

Quick question. You can record multitrack every channel in any DAW?

Did I miss something? Can this unit accept a momentary footswitch for punch in corrections ?

Great tips)) thanks for that)) How do you use both your UAD Apollo I just behind you and TASCAM MODEL 12? I own a Apollo Twin MKII, and I think about buying the Model 12.

Thanks! I use the Apollo for my Mac. I was using the Model 12 for Dawless recording and also a hub for all of my audio, so I can use one set of monitors for multiple computers and setups. I don't use them in tandem at all other than to pipe in audio from the Apollo to a channel on the 12

Can I export the tracks to a DAW after I recorded everything, to work on it later with my DAW? And if so, if I used some EQ, Compressor and Effects during the recording - are these effects recorded forever or do I still have the possibility to just export the raw track without any effects? Does somebody know this?? Thank you :)

Sounded like Weezer blue album vibes!

How to export the song? And how to import the tracks

How would you recommened i record my final mix from the tascam 12 to my cassette recorder?, there isnt any RCA output plugs on the tascam

I was just doing this yesterday. I used the XLR main outs of the 12 to channels 1 and 2 on the Tascam 424. Just make sure to pan the channels on the 424

Heeey, pls, put it on spotify!

I have another question.. When in Cubase mode with a VST instrument loaded unto a channel, if I use the Mod 12 fader to control Cubases' track gain for that track, it also changes the pitch of the VST instrument as the volume goes up and down. It behaves as though the CC value assigned to the fader is mapped to both volume for the track and pitch control. Any ideas?

@424Recording

Yeah, sounds like the VST CC values need to be remapped! That's interesting

Hello is that machine can loop ?

After you "SAVE" the song can you take out the SD card with the song on it? I thought I heard that if you shut down it will erase all your work, meaning you have to keep the card inserted till you finish ALL of your music. That seems absurd. Also, what is that black cord that's in the top right corner plugged into? It's to the right of the 4 blue knobs. Thanks.

Can you trim the beginning or ending of audio clips like you can on pretty much all of Tascam's older multitrack recorders?

Hi, is it possible to record all tracks individually onto the SD card whilst mixing on the Tascam? E.g. record live mixing directly onto the mixer and save as new track?

Whats the best way to record final mix off of a tascam 12 onto a CD? when i transfered songs from my tascam 424 cassette to a computer which turned it into a mp.3 file then burned it to cd it always seemed the music lost its low end and just didnt really sound like it does on the cassette. Anyway im new to the tascam 12, been useing tascam 424 for years kinda like the analog sound. So i switched to the 12 cause it feels like the 424, but im new to digital. Thats why on other comment i made asking how to run the 12 thru my stereo so i can also put finished song onto to tape. By the way like the song, did you write it?

@424Recording

Hi Work Work. Thanks for watching. The 12 can record to 44.1/16 WAV files which is CD quality so you can mix down your song and then transfer the WAV to your burning program. There shouldn't be any quality loss. Yup! It's an original track

Sounds like a lost beck song

You played back your final mix but is there a way to save it? I just got a Model 12 and have done the 'stereo mix export' but it ignores my mix settings and comes out the same every time.

Okay, I got this sorted! This video helped: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWaulKpymarcXc4.html Cool thing I found, you can play back what you record on the Main channel by clicking the SD MAIN MIX RETURN button to audition the mixdown. So relieved to find this workflow!

Can I use at the same time mics that require phantom, mics that doesn't require phantom, a guitar and the bass?

yes, only some old ribbon mics are sensitive to phantom power, guitars, line-level signals, modern mics are not.
