    “Returns” include TDIF I/O, ADAT lightpipe I/O and any option slot I/O that might be added to the DM-24. “Return” is named such because it is short for “tape return.” Technically a “tape return” is an “input”, but understanding the idiosyncrasies of the DM-24 are necessary if one wishes to operate the DM-24 properly.

    Assign SLOT 1 to channels 1-8, SLOT 2 to channels 9-16, Mic/Line inputs 1-8 to channels 17-24 and Mic/Line inputs 9-16 to channels 25-32. Many people use the DM-24 as a live mixer this way. You can also use this analog I/O for aux sends and returns, leaving your assignable sends and returns for use as assignable “inserts.”...

    , such as meter ballistics and pre/post metering. The mounting brackets allow the MU-24 to be moved in front of or behind the input jacks on the DM-24. The MU- 24 can also tilt backwards or forwards to achieve the best viewing angle for your needs.

  • Page 6: Using Aux 1&2 As The Tape Return Path

    Using AUX 1&2 as the tape return path The DM-24 can use AUX 1&2 as the tape return path for the first 16 channels in a tracking situation for just this reason. The way to handle this is to link Aux 1 and Aux 2.

  • Page 7: Tracking With Channels 25-32

    EFFECTS The DM-24 has two internal effects processors. Processor #1 contains the TC Works reverb (over 100 presets) and the Antares Mic and Speaker modeler. TC works reverb and the Antares Speaker modeler cannot be used simultaneously.

  • Page 8: Automation

    The automation is triggered by external time code. (In a later version of firmware the DM-24 will have an internal MTC generator of it’s own if needed.) This time code can be SMPTE or MTC. Time code from RS-422 cannot be used to trigger automation.

  • Page 9: Machine Control

    28 steps it takes to make the automation function. With the DM-24, as soon as the basic mix settings are made, automation can be activated. When automation is enabled, all automatible parameters go into static mode.

    DM-24 via MIDI. Again, this uses the “audio faders.” There is also an external control page on the DM-24. This is where you can set up separate MIDI fader layers and controller pages. Any combination of fader layers and controller pages can used up to a total of 8.

  • Page 11: Operating At 96Khz

    The ability to run a 24 track, 24-bit, 96kHz, 5.1 mixing environment! OPERATING AT 96kHz In Hi Sampling mode the DM-24 is a 16 channel console. There are 12 mic/line inputs or 12 return channels making channels 13-16 your input-only channels.

  • Page 12: Recording And Mixing Snapshots

    HIGH SPEED can send 2 channels of data at 96K on one AES/EBU cable. The DM-24 has two AES/EBU I/Os built in. DUAL LINE requires both jacks to send two channels. Some machines only use one format or the other. Some machines do not call these modes HIGH SPEED and DUAL LINE.
