We love both the DP-32 and the Model 24 and use them both in our recording process! With them we were easily able to record our first two albums with one band member in Florida and the other in Illinois.

Best video ive seen describing and comparing multiple mixers. Really gets the point across about your bottom line. Precisely where i am now

I'm glad I got the first generation Dp-32with sd/cd/midi, I'm happy with it

MIDI is severely lacking in today's multitrackers.I'm glad that the Model 12 has come along.It would be great if the competitors followed suit thanks for the video.Drum machine ' Song Mode' user here !

I have and love both and approve this message.

Thanks for the video. Exactly what I needed.

Very well presented. Thank you !

Hello. This video just happened to pop up in my feed today and I'm very glad it did. I subbed immediately after watching it. First I'm thankful that Tascam is still producing equipment despite the overwhelming onslaught of computer based recording. I'm old an oldschool as well. I have had 2 fostech 4 tracker, then thier 8 track open reel with thier mixing board then 4 and 8 track portastudios. I have used the 24 track dps now for many years and unless something bad happens it will be my last. I only personally want to record the old way as in live over an over if necessary until I get the performance in one real live take minus electronic fixes or cutting in one good phrase over an over in a song. I know this isn't for everyone but I only want a finished product that I can play no tricks needed! Sorry for all the words but that's always been my step one. All these Tascam products are great an an incredible value for the money. I wish your tour of these units were around years ago. I never have found any great videos on the 24 an 32 units and learned mine ultimately by myself. One important thing to consider is after you master on the dps taking your sd card out and plugging the card into your computer is way nicer than plugging the unit into you computer. Thanks again for the great content.

This is a very informative video. I'm upgrading from the Dp32 to the Model 24-track

I have the DP-32SD… still learning how to maximize its use. Very interesting.

Wow! So glad I found your channel! It's really helping my research in choosing my next multitrack. I've subscribed. I've liked the videos. Just wish I could buy you a coffee or beer!

good videos man. Thanks. You have a charming way of delivering content. It's a nice change.

I have the tascam dp 24 sd for almost 6 year and have never used it since i never got into the manual but thanks to your videos i am gonna start recording with it, i been using an older tascam 8 track recorder but i think is time to get into the dp 24 sd thanks to your videos 👍

Excellent video! It was very informative. Thank you for this :)

Very nice video bro, thank you! For a moment I felt I was back in the 90s :)

Thank you!

Great work,dude👍👍👍

Man!! True technology appears to be solid in the old stream of years gone by. When you said 1971 I said WHAT ? Good video on Tascam

Great video - thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Well said, thank you

I've been trying to figure out for a couple years what I can buy to record multitrack in a DAW. A coworker recommended the DP24 to me, and I never new about the whole "portastudio" thing, I had no idea I had the option to have a dedicated device that I can do all the recording on, and I gotta say, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on that. I am used to working with a DAW, but I have a feeling this will make things cleaner, and plus I can bring the device over to my girlfriends to record her drums without having to bring my heavy iMac that I'm pretty sure has a brain tumor close to killing it anyway. I was curious if the DP could be used with a DAW and unfortunately not, but that's not a deal breaker. This video was very informative, thank you!

Thanks for a very helpful video.

Great advice!

Thanks, very helpful, my old tascam 488 died recently.

great vid..very easy to understand.

Good clear explanation.

Awesome info and video thank you👍

Awesome info thank you sir

I just stared using my Model 12, and I love it. But I noticed there is no cut/copy/insert, etc. function like my old DP-01 had. Bummer. But all in all, it's a great unit and I plan to use it as a stand-alone (no DAW).

The big pro of the PortaStudio (for me, at least) was the built-in guitar effects. But the tones I get from the Model 24, specifically mic'd drums are head and shoulders above the PortaStudio.

you know its gonna be one hell of an informative video when you hear *"qghuhyu-welcome to Powercoat Music"*

I love my DP-24, I have the original one. But I still also use a DAW as well. It just depends on how I feel like working. I like all the extra inputs on the Model 12 since it can be used as an audio interface. My interface only has two inputs. If I had the 12 I could keep all my gear connected instead of having to unplug them all the time to switch over. If my interface ever dies I’d probably get a Model 12.

Your videos are always excellent and professionally produced. I'm always surprised that there are not exponentially more views; however, I think that it's only a matter of time. Please continue providing the great and useful content. Thank you. Also, I know this is a bit off-subject, but i recently acquired a DP-24SD and I was shocked to see how expensive the really good quality 32GB Sandisk SD cards are. Based on your experience, can you tell me if it is really best to use the 'Extreme PRO UHS II' cards, or is there a significantly less expensive alternative that you believe works well without sacrificing performance? The list of SD cards on the Tascam website appears to be a bit dated to me.

thanks im learning my DP-32SD Now i need the Midi of the model 12

Great video. You just won a new subscriber.

The digital mixer has midi ports, which is nice for sequencing a synthesizer, but I prefer the Model 12 because it is like an analog mixer. I don’t need to turn on my PC to record. I can use reverb and delay pedals on the effects sends, and I can record multiple tracks at the same time. My mixer is a Frankenstein of cables. It’s alive!

Dude. I just subscribed because you are extremely likable and informative. Like a big ol' hug :D

Excellent job cat!

GREAT RENDITION.... Crystal Clear and very pleasent to watch and oberserve and learn. Thanx for letting me use my brain instead of just buying without thinking what I actually need... THUMBS UP ! ! ! AND SUBSCRIBE.....

My original DP-32 died, and when I sent it in for repairs they sent me a DP-32SD. I use a ton of outboard gear that's all MIDI-synced together, which I used with the DP-32 extensively. This completely ruined my workflow since Tascam decided to remove MIDI capability completely from the DP-32SD for some reason.

Why oh why has no one EVER thought to include an optional Video Out jack to allow you to use a computer monitor? TASCAM must think we all enjoy squinting at a 3” x 3” screen when we are editing, mixing and mastering. Seems like a simple thing to ask.

Good review

I just got a mint condition original DP-24. I'm gonna get lost in this machine! I sold my Zoom Livetrak L-12, as I wasnt using the interface functionality. I think I made the right choice

Thanks for your videos, really great help. new to this game! Figuring out which one to buy. (Q) the model 12 analogue sound when recorded in digital , Will it loose the analogue sound, feel ? Is this machine more for live analogue sound gigs?

That was an excellent comparison. I own a sd24 and was looking to upgrade. After watching this presentation I realized that I should stick to my 24. Reason being , I do like the on board mastering.

Excellent video! How do these compare with the Zoom product line?

I'm more attracted by the DP series, the main reason is because they seems more simple to use, ( did not take a lot of time to learn how to use the DP008) ,more compact, and with more tracks for the price that you pay, comparing to the " Model" series. Useful video ,thank you so much for the informations. Best regards to you, Patrick from Italy

If I were to record a stage band, would I be able to use all 8 XLR mic inputs (including the 9/10, 11/12, which seems a little confusing)? 8 condenser mics?

I wish I had known about the DP-32 not having MIDI 5 years ago. I would have bought the Model 16.

I recently purchased the TASCAM DP03 SD and was wondering if I made the right choice. Perhaps the model 12 may be better for now and for future use. What are your thoughts? Jon

What does the midi functionality do? Can you record midi data, or is it just basic transport controls n whatnot

Which would be easier for a blind person to use the DP are the model 12?

Question: you stated that the Tascam has 10 line and 8 mic inputs. I see the 8 mic inputs. Where are the line inputs?

Can you record simultaneously first set of 8 inputs(1-8)Then record another 8 simultaneously(9-16)and so on on the DP-32SD? Basically 4 sets of 8 simultaneously recording is what I am asking.

When Downloading Firmware Versions--if I missed a few updates, can I just download the latest version or do I need to download all versions oldest to the newest? Many Thanks, Bill

Which product is best? That depends not on what you want, but on what you need to be the most productive in your home studio. I get a lot of questions about these 2 units, so I wanted to provide some important facts that can help you make the best possible decisions, based on your requirements. I hope this presentation serves useful to anyone interested.

Can you please do a video on the tascam DP-32sd v the model 24 I would love to see how they measure up. Thank you

I had a question about thetascam model 12 you know how you go in a professional studio and you see that big surface control table that they be using that cost $100,000 or more can you get the same performance quality in the model 12 Also I notice on those bigger surface control tables when people are going into the vocal booth they have a talkback mic you can’t see it but it’s there on the control table can you do that on the model 12

Hi , great video How the "Live Mode " works on the Model12 ? I know the Multitrack mode because i own a DP24sd . Can we record a stereo Master track directly with the Live Mode ? Thanks

Midi is essential. I hope they can update the software to at least send midi through the USB port

Please, could you help me out? I connected my Shure m7b to my Tascam dp-32SD, but there's no sound. Is anything the matter, please? Thanks

Why didnt they put midi jacks on the DP 24 or 32?

Hi there, I have a dp24sd and a model 12. My problem is there is no midi sync on the dp24 and not enough tracks on the model 12. Is it possible to sync two model 12s via midi ?

I sold Model12 and got DP-24 instead

I do suspect omitting midi connectivity on the 32 was a serious error of judgement ..I won’t be buying one😢

The DP-32SD has a metronome but unlike the Boss BR series, it doesn't contain a rhythm/drum-machine instrument? That is what makes it less powerful to me than a standalone Boss Recorder. Sadly neither the MODEL12 or DP32SD really seem to have taken the home songwriter people seriously. Most of us don't have a drum kit and can't play drums. On my PC with a DAW of course, I have drum VSTs but it's great to have a bunch of built in basic rock and country and pop and jazz rhythms when you are doing song demos and early stage songwriting. A separate drum machine box of course is possible, but with the compute power onboard these digital portastudios it's sad that nobody other than BOSS cares about this feature. For home songwriters with mobile phones and tablets though, both of these will let you record audio out of your phone, so a virtual drummer on your tablet or iphone plus either of these units may be a quick and fun way to use these boards. The MIDI, bluetooth and the daw control (record and play back your phone audio output) make the MODEL 12 the preferred unit for me.

Model 12 wins easily just for having MIDI.

i take Tascam MODEL 12. 16,20 any day the 0ther ones is dumb y f0rce t0 take a guitar and 0nly putt 0n 0ne track that they pick for you, s0 much f0r recording 2 guitar parts and doing the hard pan left and right hard pan trick .

Ca..., hiciste un video de un aparato que no tienes, mi buen, te mereces un buen reporte.
