TASCAM DM-24 Version 2.1 Release Notes 1
New features in DM-24 version 2.1
Buss assignment
Busses 1-8 can now be assigned to the stereo buss on
the
ASSIGN
page, the
MODULE
page and also using the
ASSIGN section key.
Bear in mind that like
EFFECT 1-2
,
DIGITAL IN 1-2
and
ASSN RETURNS 1-4
, these signals enter the stereo buss
after (post) the Master Comp Insert Matrix.
The result of this is that if you are compressing the
stereo buss, these signals assigned to the stereo buss
are not affected by the compressor.
However, if the
ASSIGNABLE
sends and returns are
used as stereo buss
INSERTS
, these inserts will affect
the signals sent to the stereo buss. Any analog inserts
used on the stereo buss will also affect these signals.
1To assign these signals directly to the stereo
buss, use POD 4 to move the cursor to
ST
in
the upper right of the
ASSIGN
page.
2Then use the
SEL
key of the buss, or the cur-
sor keys or the dial to highlight the item you
wish to assign and press the ENTER key.
This assignment can also be made in the buss
MODULE
page.
To assign busses 1-8 to the stereo buss using the
STEREO key in assign section:
1Select the busses 1-8 using the SEL keys.
2Then press the STEREO key in the assign sec-
tion. Busses 1-8 are assigned to the stereo
buss directly (this can be confirmed on the
MODULE
page).
Buss signals assigned to the stereo buss fol-
low the
Balance Level CENTER: 0dB
setting on the
OPTION-PREFERENCES
page.

New features in DM-24 version 2.1
2 TASCAM DM-24 Version 2.1 Release Notes
Talkback source
On the
MONITOR –OSC/COM
page, you can now choose
either MIC/LINE input 1 or 16 (in high sampling fre-
quency, MIC/LINE input 1 or 8) as the talkback
source. This allows you to use any microphone you
wish as a talkback mic, rather than the DM-24’s
built-in microphone.
This is especially helpful in situations such as ADR
rooms in post-production, where more than one per-
son needs to use the talkback mic. An omnidirec-
tional microphone can be mounted in the room for
this purpose.
ADAT S/MUX support
The DM-24 now supports S/MUX for 96kHz con-
nections. This allows 96kHz communication with
such devices as the Alesis HD-24, the MOTU
2408III and RME digital audio interfaces.
New default clock setting
Previously, the default clock setting for the DM-24
was to use TDIF as the clock source. This meant that
the EXT CLOCK indicator flashed if there was no
TDIF source at the default frequency.
In version 2.1, the default clock setting is now the
DM-24’s own internal clock, at 44.1kHz (and the
EXT CLOCK indicator therefore does not flash).
When the DM-24 is changed to the high sampling
frequency mode, the sampling frequency is 88.2kHz.

Busses as effect input sources
Busses 1-8 can now be used as input sources for the
internal effects on the
PATCH
page. This can be conve-
nient if all aux sends are already being used for other
purposes.
New features in HUI
The HUI page has changed considerably and new
functions have been added.
As only channel strips 1-8 are functional in HUI
mode, the keys on channel strips 9-16 have been
mapped to perform specific functions.
• Pressing the
SHIFT
soft key icon allows you to use
the faders as aux send level controls for the chosen
send. Pressing this soft key again returns the faders
to fader control of the DAW.
•MUTE keys 11-12 act as left bank and right bank
keys. These banks operate in 8-channel incre-
ments.
•SEL keys 11-12 act as left and right channel
advance keys. This is similar to the bank keys, but
these keys only “move” by one channel at a time.
•REC key 11 recalls the EDIT screen in Pro Tools,
while REC key 12 recalls the MIX screen in Pro
Tools.
•SEL 14 and SEL 16 make the waveform shorter
and longer (time axis) respectively.
• Pressing the SEL 15 key activates ZOOM. REC 15
key and MUTE 15 key make the waveform larger
and smaller respectively.
•MUTE key 10 selects the POD controls as pan con-
trols.
•REC key 9 selects SEND A, REC key 10 selects
SEND B, SEL key 9 selects SEND C, SEL key 10
selects SEND D, and MUTE 9 selects SEND E.
All of these functions are laid out clearly on the HUI
page as shown here.
Bug fixes
In addition to the features listed above, the DM-24
version 2.1 firmware release addresses all known
bugs.
