Using The Direct Outs; Assigning Channel Dynamics - Tascam TM-D1000 Operation Manual

7 - Channel operations

7.3 Using the DIRECT OUTs

The input channels can be sent to the TDIF-1 outputs
on a one-to-one basis instead of being routed through
the group busses. Use the
of the CH ASSIGN keys.
NOTE
The direct out facility is obviously useful only
in the REC mode; in the MIX mode, there is
little point in sending input channels to the
TDIF-1 outputs.
Although you can assign an input channel to
the group busses and to the direct outputs at
the same time, this is not useful in many
cases. We therefore suggest that you use
either the direct out or the group busses, but
not both.
The pick-off point can be set to be
DIRECT OUT
either pre-or post-fader.

7.4 Assigning channel dynamics

The default effect pattern when recording is to assign
four mono dynamic processors to input channels. To
use these processors:

Each number on the display represents one of the
dynamic processors assigned to a channel. The
channel number corresponds to the numbers
printed under the display. In the above example,
dynamic processors 1 through 4 are assigned to
channels 1 through 4.
