16 extra channels making the DM-24 a 48-channel mixer. With the release of version 2.0 the DM-24 can now route 60 input signals to the stereo buss at mixdown! With new features like HUI emulation and some of the most powerful 5.1 surround panning found in any digital mixer, the DM-24 is even... -
Page 4: Options
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 5: Aux Sends
Aux sends The DM-24 has 6 aux sends, which can be configured Pre or Post fader. Any of them may be assigned to the two internal effect processors. Aux sends can be assigned (in pairs or mono) to the 2 channel AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital outputs for use with external effects processors with digital I/O. -
Page 6: Overdubbing Tracks 17-24
Use Aux 3 as the vocalist’s cue mix. (The DM-24 default setting is TC Reverb on EFFECT 2 with aux send 2 feeding the effect input. Your DM-24 must be setup this way for these instructions to work.) 1. -
Page 7: Post Adc Direct Out In The Studio
Many users are very particular about the analog to digital converters that they use to record. If they choose not to use the converters on the DM-24, this does not mean that they cannot still use the DM-24’s internal mic pres. Realizing the analog insert is just before the A/D converter in the DM-24’s signal chain, the... -

1&2 and the assignable returns are also assigned directly to the stereo buss. 3. In the DM-24 busses 1-8 are used for recording. As such, they cannot be assigned to the stereo buss. When mixing it is often desirable to assign multiple channels to a buss, then manipulate that buss signal with compression and EQ and send it to the stereo buss. -
Page 9: Effects
Effects The DM-24 has two internal effect 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. Processor #2 contains TASCAM effects:... -
Page 10: Machine Control
Machine control The DM-24 can control a wide variety of external devices via RS-422 ( P2 or 9- pin), MIDI Machine Control or the DTRS remote jack. There is a list of supported devices on the machine control page. -
Page 11: Midi
On the master layer you can do this for faders and mutes only. This allows the DM-24 to control other devices or other devices to control the DM-24 via MIDI. Again, this uses the “audio faders.”... - Page 12 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 13: Hui Emulation
HUI. The DM-24 has now implemented HUI “emulation.” This means that these DAW applications see the DM-24 as a HUI and thus the DM-24 can now be used to control these DAW applications in much the same way. -
Page 14: Automation
Automation The DM-24 features very powerful, internal automation. No computer required. The internal automation of the DM-24 is actually more powerful and easier to use then many large frame consoles used in professional studios. The following mix controls of the DM-24 can be automated:... - Page 15 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. As soon as the DM-24 receives time code and WRITE is pressed, the DM-24 is ready to write dynamic automation.

Page 16: Cascading Two Dm-24S
Cascading two DM-24s provides access to 4 internal effects processors (2 in each unit). When the aux sends are cascaded, ANY of the four internal effects processors can be accessed from ANY aux send. The DM-24 represents the state of the art in effects routing for digital mixing consoles. - Page 17 When a mix snapshot is stored on the master, a mix snapshot is also stored on the slave simultaneously. The same is true for saving automation mixes. However, when these files need to be cleared from the DM-24 to make room for new mixes, these files would have to be transferred individually from each DM-24 to an external MIDI device for storage.
- Page 18 Use AUX 1-2 to feed the internal effect processors. Use AUX 3-6 as 4 mono cue mixes or 2 stereo cue mixes. Use the assignable sends to feed headphone amplifiers. This is how the talent will monitor the cue mixes. Change AUX 1-2 to POST fader.

Page 19: Operating @ 96Khz
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.
