Thanks. It would be fun to do these on a regular basis but, you know ... day jobs. This unit is still working out great for us. Being able to easily get multi-track recordings of our gigs has been useful and allows us to have high quality audio on videos. BTW: you can find us in the ongoing comic strip Studio Daze. StudioDazeComics.com.

Thank you. I love playing with these guys. Joe Bourgeois and Adam Mantovani just put out a collaboration album called "When I Feel Welcome". It's beautiful. If you look around, you can find a great podcast they appeared on discussing the album.

It's in the middle of Nassau County Long Island. The zip code is 11565. It's a small, curt, neighborhood bar. URL: www.thebroadwaytavern.com/

I made sure to pass your comment on to Lisa. Since this video was made, she married Adam the guitar player on her right (black shirt). We're prepping for our 5th annual Farmfest next August.

@@HomebrewMusic Thank you for the update.

You should check out other songs on the channel featuring Adam Mantovani. You can find some of his original material here and on the major music services as well.

The song is much older than Nirvana, written before they were born. They covered it and renamed it for some reason, but the original name is "In the Pines". Great song. We occasionally play it at shows.

leadbelly . it was titled 'Black Girl"

We came at it closer to the original although we're fans of Nirvana's take. Pretty much anything we cover we look to come up with our own take otherwise what's the point.

@@HomebrewMusic I meant no disrespect. Apologies if it came out that way. You guys did an amazing job!

@@grimeypipes2765 No disrespect received, I got where you were coming from. I find some musicians who work really hard to sound like the original. That's fine for a cover band but we get a lot more joy out of finding new ways to present a song. Most of us have had the experience of preferring a particular cover of a song over the original.

Sounds like good advice. Are there specific features or fixes I should be looking for? The only thing I see is an update from 2021 that fixes an issue if you are using the Model 24 as an IO device to your computer which is something we plan to experiment with.

V1.63 does fix I/O to computer but it is also the most stable release. Also firmware upgrade will allow you to use higher capacity SD Cards. Also allows for the feature of midi sync. This feature lets you use the model 24 as the midi transport master so that you can sync up audio between your DAW and the mixer.

I decided to check my firmware version. I pulled up the menu, selected "System" and then "Information". Once I did that, I had to scroll down until the screen showing "Firmware" appeared. It turns out I have version 1.60 so I guess I have some homework to do.

On the upside looks like you are only one version behind. Enjoy your mixer. I love being able to record without a PC on mine.

@@wemgadgeThat's the huge upside for us. I have 16 channels of Focusrite I/O, Adobe Audition, high end computer, everything I need to record to my DAW. But most of the time I don't bother and just record on the board. I only go direct to the DAW when recording individual tracks for more serious projects. I think any band would tremendously benefit from a board like this and I highly recommend recording rehearsals.

Thank you

Sometimes we cover originals, sometimes we cover covers. With Joe, we figure we're usually getting pretty close to the source. With his love for the material, he can turn anyone into a Blues fan.

501Dude .. ever heard of Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder??? This is sloppy, but a nice try.

@@Jim-cl5ed considering this is the first time these people ever played together, and Statesboro Blues is not remotely in the Lions repertoire, I think it came together rather well.

I think it was a pretty good cover, after all these guys are not professional musicians, but some people will always be HATERS Hating because they cannot play a single note or strum a chord, but will criticize anthing, !!!!!!!

@@nutindoin2 I'm cool with the comments, nothing particularly rough. I like that people are engaging. Technically we are professional musicians - people pay us to play. Most of us are not full-time professional musicians. We're weekend warriors.

I totally agree with you - no buzzes killed. When you look into getting a mixer you have to count how many usable inputs you actually get. With the Model 24 you get 12 mono channels. Channels 13-20 are actually 4 stereo tracks. We often end up using them as mono tracks. We only use them as stereo tracks when we plug in a keyboard and there is never more than one of those. The model 16 would not have been big enough for us but we have a lot going on with as many as 5 vocal mics and multiple drum mics. This is true for all of these - Mackie, Yamaha, Zoom, etc.

I wasn't aware of the Model 16 until you mentioned it. Smaller / lighter, perhaps a better choice for some bands. With 10 XLR inputs (2 Stereo) that would easily cover bass, 2 guitars, 2 vocals and perhaps a couple for the drums and still leave room for keyboard or more vocal mics. We use as many as 5 vocal mics, 1 bass, 2 guitar, sometimes a keyboard (stereo) and 4 for the drums at a live show so the Model 24 with its 12 Mono XLR's and 4 stereo channels gives us plenty of headroom. Plus, I get the extra arm workout hefting it. Let me know how the mixer works out for you.

Thanks. We continue to love this mixer. I was showing off our studio last night to the owner of a very well-known studio last night and he zeroed in on the mixer and had great things to say about Tascam. He reminded me that this can be connected directly to a DAW to be used for recording on a computer which is something we are looking forward to testing out. Our Focusrite interfaces, two 18i20's, work well for us but it would be so convenient to use the Tascam which is wired into the studio PA and usually has the backline plugged in.

Obrigado

That's lil' Joe Bourgeois, a tremendous player.

Thanks Anthony. High praise from a prolific and talented song writer.

Thanks, that means a lot. We do this out of love for music and the great friendships that have developed in and around this band.

It records all of the tracks individually. You can record the entire band at one time on individual tracks for each instrument and then go do post mixing afterwards. It will also record a single track at a time and you can then add more tracks which comes in handy if you're a one man band home studio musician building up a song.

Excellent!! Thank you.

Yes, as tossedpenney states, it records individual tracks. When you are done you can pop the SD card into your computer (you may need an inexpensive adapter if your computer doesn’t have an SD slot) and you’ll find a folder with your tracks. Just drag them into your DAW (Desktop Audio Workstation) and you’re ready to mix.

Ua, but as far i know, you can not record signal after eq, wich dont has any sense. I can do the same with any audio interface with more inputs. Less space, better conversion, routing…i dont underestand why this tascam mixer exist to ne honest…

​@@czorakownikyeah TASCAM are too busy building thousands of units to take any notice of gimps like you commenting that you don't want to buy it, jog on

Ha, love the Alan Alda comment - that's a first. If you get the mixer maybe comment here. Or request an account on Homebrewmusic.com and you can contact me through there. I'd be happy to lend advice. We've got this mixer pretty well figured out. It's great being able to record live shows. And we record all of our rehearsals because, hey, why not. It's easy to do and we have recordings of all of our material.

@@HomebrewMusic Hey Andy thanks so much for the reply. Thanks for your offer of help with setting up and using the mixer will be in touch. 😀🥁

Undoubtedly. We have decades of playing music behind us and hopefully a few decades left to enjoy this thing we love so much. Also, many of us have larger budgets for toys than we did when we were younger. For some people that equates to fancy cars, expensive golf clubs, luxury watches, etc. but we spend our money in music stores. Hopefully many years of nerding out ahead of us.

Thank you. We thought it was pretty good too. As I write this, Adam is probably on stage in Virginia playing songs from a new album he is working on. Check out more of songs on this channel.

Thank you for those comments. We're very happy with how this song came out. We always have a great time making music together and this was just one of those really great sessions. Having a channel full of videos is the musical equivalent of a photo album documenting the fun we have all had together.

Live in Knoxville. Not really wrong about winter but I'd argue the mountains don't see much sun in the summer. Too much brush for the rays to penetrate thru. It's like a rainforest

Thank you!

Thanks Jan!

(Translation: Is this song really about a girl whose railroad father was killed by sawing off her head?) Этой песне более 150 лет, и было много версий. Это ее муж потерял голову в железнодорожной катастрофе. (This song is over 150 years old and there have been many versions. It was her husband who lost his head in a railroad accident.)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you. We all love this one. It perfectly captures how we always did this live. Nice greets from NY.
