Recording and mixing with the DM-24 and Digi 001
The combination of the TASCAM DM-24 and the Digi 001 make for a very powerful system. While the
001 provides 32 audio tracks in Pro Tools and audio I/O, the DM-24 provides 16 mic pres, 24-bit A/D
converters, compressors, gates, 4-band parametric EQ, and DSP effects like TC Works reverb, and
Antares mic/speaker modelers.
This document will show you how to use this combination for recording and mixing. You will be able to
record up to 8 tracks simultaneously via ADAT I/O. You will be able to submix 14 tracks within the DM-
24. Each of the 14 channels will have a compressor, a 4-band parametric EQ and 6 aux sends. The aux
sends can be used with the two internal effects processors and with outboard effects processors. You
will also have access to the snapshot recall and dynamic automation. This takes the stress off of your
computers CPU leaving you more resources to run your favorite plug-ins and automation in Pro Tools.
This 14 track submix will be sent back to Pro Tools via S/PDIF where it will join the Pro Tools stereo buss
signal. The Pro Tools stereo buss signal is sent back to the DM-24 via S/PDIF where it is monitored via
your powered speakers.
This document will also show you how to use HUI emulation. This allows the DM-24 to be a powerful
control surface for Pro Tools as well.
HOOK UP
1. Connect an ADAT lightpipe cable between the OUT of the DM-24 and the IN of the 001.

Page 2: Word Clock
WORD CLOCK In this example the 001 will be the wordclock master. On the I/O page set D-1 IN to RCA (S/PDIF.) On the DM-24 DIGITAL-CLOCK page, set the DM-24 to clock to the D-1 IN (RCA.) - Page 3 SETTINGS In the example below, theDM-24 has mic/line inputs 1-8 assigned to channels 1-8. These channels are set to DIRECT OUT. Notice that RETURN C: ADAT trk 1-8 is also chosen for this group of 8 channels. This setting is needed to “send” the DIRECT OUTS to the ADAT digital output. These are the signals that will be sent to Pro Tools for recording.
- Page 4 To record in Pro Tools from the DM-24, you must assign your Pro Tools tracks to receive their input from the ADAT connection sent from the DM-24 direct outputs. INPUTS OUTPUTS You must also assign your outputs. This is where you decide what tracks you want to mix in the DM-24, and what tracks you want to mix in Pro Tools.
- Page 5 In the example below, channels 17-32 are setup to receive 14 tracks from the 001 - 8 tracks via ADAT digital I/O and 6 tracks from the analog I/O. These channels are all assigned to the stereo buss of the DM-24.
- Page 6 In Pro Tools, create a stereo aux input. Set the input to S/PDIF. This is where the stereo buss signal of the DM-24 is sent to Pro Tools. This signal is assigned to the Pro Tools stereo buss. INPUTS OUTPUTS Assign channels 15 and 16 to D IN 1-L and D IN 1-R.
- Page 7 Assign channels 15-16 to BUSS 1-2 and nothing else. Assign EFFECT 1 and 2 to the Stereo buss. On the MONITOR page assign SEL 1 to BUSS 1-2. Press the SEL 1 key in the Control Room section to Monitor this section. This is how you route audio with this system.
- Page 8 DM-24 HUI emulation with Pro Tools First, you must have an OMS setup which has MIDI I/O connected between the 001 and the DM-24 (HUI). As a device: Manuf: Mackie Model: other Device ID: 0 Name HUI Receives MTC is checked Is Controller is checked Receives on CH 1 In Pro Tools Session Startup window MTC to Port is checked and HUI is the chosen port.
- Page 9 Under SETUPS-PERIPHERALS-MIDI CONTROLLERS #1 TYPE is HUI Receive from HUI Send to HUI Channels 8 On the DM-24 EXTERNAL CONTROL page HUI EMULATE ID 01 MIDI RX checked.
- Page 10 On the MACHINE CONTROL page HUI EMULATE ID 01 TRA checked and REC 1-8. On the OPTION-SYNC/TC page I have SYNC SOURCE and MIDI IN MTC checked. This allows the DM- 24 automation to be triggered by the MTC sent from Pro Tools.

On the DM-24 EXTERNAL CONTROL page use the cursor to point to the JUMP TO SCREEN icon and press ENTER. This will take you to the HUI control screen. SEND A-E refer to aux sends. If you point to A and press ENTER, the encoders on the LCD will show you all of the levels for the first aux send on the channels viewed.
