Thanks man! Tascam should pay you for these tutorials, You are the only one I found really understand this machine properly, very good job!! Holy Grail :) Cheers!
I currently own a Zoom L12 and plan on replacing with a Tascam 12. Being a reggae drummer I need to record by drum tracks onto a DAW so I can add special effects, your detailed tutorial has convinced me I am making the right choice. Thank You.
Glad you mentioned the 5 pin din connector and how to set it up in studio one. Regarding especially about the "receive from" and the "send to" selection you briefly explained. I had not totally figured out yet on how I can use my M-Audio keystation mk3 using the 5 pin din output of it.🙏👌
Can you use a midi controller and the Model 12 at the same time? I would like to use the Model 12 for daw faders and my midi keyboard controller for surface controls.
It's pretty nuts that I had just finished folding laundry (there is much more to do.. I need Gordon Ramsay to firmly shake my hand) before I watched your video. But I'm already subscribed... How could I not be. You know not to keep raw chicken in your studio
This comment was for another video! It's what happens when you have another vid in the queue while you're still writing... But I'll leave here as it's an odd and inscrutable thing to say. As far as DAW control goes, seems a bit under baked if it can't map 1:1 with Ableton or other DAWs
Hi, it's a pleasure to watch your videos on the TASCAM. Thank you! Can you tell me if it is possible to record from the TASCAM to a computer and listen to the tracks again on the same channels of the mixer? for example: record a drum from channel 1 to channel 6 and listen back on channels 1 to 6
THANKS FOR THE REPLY. Can you send me a link to your video that deals with this topic? I will use the most compatible DAW with TACSAM Model 12. I think Cubase
@nicolalonigro2 Model 12 will work with any DAW. Just try (if demo is available) some and see which one meets your requirements. Studio One Artist edition, Cubase, Reaper, Cakewalk, Logic Pro, etc all work fine.
Hi! I've got a question. The problem I see it is that since faders are not motorized, when switching from 1-8 to 9-16 channels, if you made changes in daw in channels 1-8 you will lose them later if you made also in 9-16 supposing this fader movement is absolute. Is this correct?
Great help, the best , Any idea on the suitability of a replacement USB C to A Lead for the PC Mine was not long enough for my needs so I have taken a chance on a lead that is meant for a Samsung phone At 2 metres long I am hoping it will work, Tascam say very little about suitability except not to have it to long . Again thanks for your insight into the mysteries of this product.
Can i have my akai mpc midi synced to the tascam 12 at the same time it is in DAW controller so i can record from the mpc to the 12 and DAW at the same time?
can this be applied to the the tascam 24?? I had purchased it a while ago & could never configure it. I later saw a video on the tascam channel where they told a customer that only the tascam 16 could do this. I was so disappointed that I returned it but I definitely loved the look & feel of this mixer. Great video, thanks for going in depth.
Thank you for your videos on the TASCAM models. I just purchased the model 16. I had no idea the model 12 actually has more functionality. I have a Zoom L20 and what I really like about it is that I can control it via my IPAD like song selection, volume control, etc. This is really needed when performing live and you do not have a lot of space. Can the model 12 or model 2400 be controlled basically the same way via the midi control? I have a midi controller but have yet to figure it out and wanted to ask an expert if I can select songs and start and stop via a midi controller. Thank you for your time.
@@RecordingStudio9 So I sent the model 16 back and ordered the Model 12 after seeing your tutorials. One more question please. I mainly did it because you can swap tracks. Can I take two or more tracks that I am satisfied with and copy them to one track? Please let me know. Thanks again for all your info!!
@stacylotz1062 No, it only swaps tracks. But, you can do a mixdown of the tracks you need to combine onto the main bus, and swap the mixed to an empty stereo channel/tracks.
Great Video! One thing still unclear though, How do I: Have music on several tracks in DAW. M12 controls mixdown on DAW. All Compressor knobs, EQ knobs, Pan Knobs and Faders on M12 controlling each track on the DAW (All 10 tracks) during mixdown, playback and recording. SO basically how to use all the controllers on the M12 during mixdown on my DAW (Cubase). Because searching around here and the web it seems the M12 can only control the Faders and Pan knobs during DAW mixdown when acting as an audio interface or DAW controller. Thanks for any info you can give.
Nice explanatory video that i was wondering about. So in order to do all this mastering, we got to limit to 8 tracks? Since 9/10 will be used afterwards for SD play or extra EQing the final stereo track? And after you EQd that stereo track, you got to bounce/ mix it down one more time to the main to export the very final product?
Not really. If you have to use all 10 tracks, then mix down to main and export a stereo mix. Create a new song and import the stereo mix to do the "mastering" session.
thank you for the tutorial. i'm a little confused, can we assign plugin parameters in a daw to knobs in tascam just like in a standard midi controller. i was planning to use it like a dj mixer, but if we can't assign -for example- a dj eq tool in a daw to the knobs in tascam, it is pretty useless to me. thanks in advance for your support.
Hello ! First of all thanks for your work and video, i have a question, if i use the model 24 with protools, Can i record on protools the master of the table with the tracks routed back in the table from protools and does the fader level will be recorded for exemple for a reggae dub mix recording ? Thanks again for your work
Thanks for this video! Im considering buying this mixer for live and in studio applications. But I’m still not clear if any of the knobs above the pans can operate in DAW controller mode, as in can they be mapped to controls on the DAW such as FX sends, or EQ, or any other effects or macro controls. It looks like they cannot, if I understand the manual correctly. I’m using Live 11 on a Mac if that’s helpful to know. Thanks!
Can the eq knobs be used to control plugins in a daw? For example, if I had an eq plugin, could I map the eq knobs to the plugin in a learn mode in the daw?
Thanks for the information. I have watched all your videos concerning model 12, but i was wondering have you had a problem with the unit powering on at the switch? It’s seems as this is a problem for other model 12 users.
Simple question. Why isn’t my mix on the board reflecting the recording into my DAW? For instance, the panning of a channel, EQ or anything. The tracks appear dry once I record to Ableton from the 10 outputs of the Mixer. Doesn’t matter what knob i’ve turned before recording In Ableton. Nothing reflects. What settings am I missing? Also, the “Main” Mix fader doesn’t push up the “Master volume” at all. I can only hear from the channel faders. Just bought this mixer today and still learning it. I appreciate any info you have to resolve these two questions lol
I would highly recommend to go to my channel and watch all the videos on the M12 to better understand the mixer. I cover every aspects of it to get you started.
Wait does "sub" mean "not primary"? I thought the "sub" channel was for the subwoofer and that's how mine's wired up... how else are you supposed to connect monitors and a subwoofer?
Sub on mixers means sub mix channels. Bigger mixers can have up to 8 sub mix channels. You normally connect subwoofers via sub filters. Some speakers have full in and subwoofer output connections.
You said you cant do daw controller and use a drum machine. Can you asain daw controll to 6 channels and the last 2 dont use them for daw controll and use them for drum machine? thanks i need this and i had the model 16 but returned because lacked soe modes i needed for my live set
@@RecordingStudio9 to simplify and only take one hardware. I have midis, but the one i had was akai midimix and you can remove preset mappings, unless you have a custom script. However, i gut this eekend the launchcontrolXl and i mapped all my needs there + midi fighter tiwster and push 2 works great.Might just add the model 12 for hardware synth inputs
One minor negative thing is that you can’t send your individually recorded multitrack channels from the SD-card to a DAW. Model 12 only sends a stereo mix of your channels to the DAW, channel 11/12.
Hi, A question, but since it doesn't have motorized faders, isn't it unusable with any DAW? ,when opening a project there is no correspondence between the faders of the DAW and those of the model 12 and as soon as you move the faders of the model 12 those of the DAW move from the optimal position.
Like with many non-motorised Controllers, the best option is to use them to write the fader automation. Then even if the faders don’t match, automation overrides the fader moves.
@@RecordingStudio9 Thanks for the reply I agree but it's really limited at this point, in my opinion it's better to buy a mixer that doesn't have them and perhaps add a simple Behringer X-touch one to have a real motorized controller which is much more useful.
I would like to connect MIDI out from my keyboard to the MIDI in on my Model 12 and pass MIDI data through to my DAW, while in DAW mode, effectively allowing me to record MIDI notes to my DAW. Is this do-able?
I’m trying to figure out how to record each channel after the FX into my daw “garage band”. For instance I’m using the mixer set to live. Bc I have an electric drum, guitar, piano, and a couple micrphones hooked up. My guitar/ Headrush mx5 pedal board is plugged into channel 6. When recording into garage I only get the dry signal. How do I get each channel to record into garage band with all the eq and effects from the mixer? Is thank you. Help would be greatly appreciated.

It's amazing that Tascam can create a product like the Model 12 but for some reason, cannot provide an owner's manual that makes sense. My specific issue is in the volume level I end up with after I transfer the SD file to the computer. It becomes a wav file. When I want to send it off or share, I convert it to mp3 using a converter but the volume is much lower. I feel like there is no control over the finished result of what you may want to share. The mix could be popping out at you but when I open it on my computer as mp3, it sounds stripped down, thin, barely audible. I do not know why. Just subscribed. Thanks.
I assume you do a mixdown on the M12 and then export stereo WAV file, then copy the WAV file to PC. Make sure the mixdown levels are loud enough and hitting the 0db on the meters. If the fader level set to achieve 0db is too loud on the speakers, you can turn down the speakers or set the MAIN output levels from the MENU.
i'm looking into using this mixer to record into cubase and then mix those tracks using the mixer instead of the computer. this is possible right? i got confused when you said it would just come back to track one and two when in daw controller mode. i just want to be able to mix each track individually with the board and have it register within the software as well. thanks! good video.
Yes, it’s possible to send each track/ bus from DAW to the mixer’s each channel, and mix the song using the mixer to a stereo recording on a new stereo track in the DAW or even on the SD card.
When Im in daw controller mode how can I send audioÉ The only way i can get audio is through headphones, but I want to listen through my speaker, which I routed into aux 2 but I cant hear anything! Help please!
Which audio source are you referring to? Live or DAW playback? As I mention in my video, you can’t listen live inputs in DAW mode. DAW playback is on Ch 1/2. Make sure you have channels MAIN buttons pressed.
@@RecordingStudio9 It's DAW playback that I'm trying to listen to, and I know I can adjust the levels with Ch 1 & 2 but I cannot figure out which output jack actually gets that feed other than the 1/4" headphones jacks. I've been trying to send it to listen through my 8" frfr pa speaker and I can't seem to get anything to play through my speaker, unless I plug it into the headphone jack. Like is it Aux 1 out, Aux 2 out, Sub L, Sub R, Main R, or Main L? None seem to work. Because sending through the headphone jack I think changes the volume level of the signal passing through, or at least the DAW playback doesn't sound as good coming through the headphone jack to my speaker as it does going to headphones. I know that's a bit convoluted but I just cannot find how to connect a speaker to the Tascam Model 12, for DAW playback, anywhere on the Internet.
@@RecordingStudio9 yes I get that and actually read a UA rep mention the same thing but I read a user saying the faders are the only thing not "drawing." I personally want to get this mixer to use with Luna and Davinci Resolve Fairlight but if it doesn't work together then I have to thing of other options opposed to buying then returning. Thanks for replying and dope content. 🙏🏾💪🏾
I wish I could use the 5 pin din outputs to control the Behringer XR18 mixer. Sadly, the HUI or Universal Midi Control is not routed to the MIDI din outputs, only MIDI USB. Am I right or is there a work around?
Why do you need different effect for each channel. You will never find any audio mixer with more that 2 or 3 FX buses that channels feed to. For it's size, 1 FX bus is plenty.
@@RecordingStudio9 why should I have to choose between having a reverb and and a delay or be forced into having to use the combo on all the channels. Having individual assignments for each channel adds flexibility. A lot of the fx on here I don't even use because I would have to sacrifice the primary one that I use.
Thanks man! Tascam should pay you for these tutorials, You are the only one I found really understand this machine properly, very good job!! Holy Grail :) Cheers!

I've been trying to send it to listen through my 8" frfr pa speaker and I can't seem to get anything to play through my speaker, unless I plug it into the headphone jack. Like is it Aux 1 out, Aux 2 out, Sub L, Sub R, Main R, or Main L? None seem to work. Because sending through the headphone jack I think changes the volume level of the signal passing through, or at least the DAW playback doesn't sound as good coming through the headphone jack to my speaker as it does going to headphones.
I know that's a bit convoluted but I just cannot find how to connect a speaker to the Tascam Model 12, for DAW playback, anywhere on the Internet.
Is there a daw Controller Mode for Model 24 too?
No. Not possible.
Can the Tascam Model 12 mixer control Luna?
If Luna supports Mackie or HUI protocol, then yes. Check the software specs.
@@RecordingStudio9 yes I get that and actually read a UA rep mention the same thing but I read a user saying the faders are the only thing not "drawing." I personally want to get this mixer to use with Luna and Davinci Resolve Fairlight but if it doesn't work together then I have to thing of other options opposed to buying then returning. Thanks for replying and dope content. 🙏🏾💪🏾
daw controler works with Reason?
Never tested it. I’ll keep you posted when I try it soon.
what if i see MCU and not Mackie on my mode selection ?
MCU = Mackie Control Unit
@@RecordingStudio9 thank you!
5:35 Duh...That is also NOT what DAW-controller mode means.....It means it is a control surface, like a MIDI controller, no more no less.
I wish I could use the 5 pin din outputs to control the Behringer XR18 mixer. Sadly, the HUI or Universal Midi Control is not routed to the MIDI din outputs, only MIDI USB. Am I right or is there a work around?
Correct. No workaround that I can currently think of.
To bad you can’t use a different effect on each channel. If you could this thing would be a dream
Why do you need different effect for each channel. You will never find any audio mixer with more that 2 or 3 FX buses that channels feed to. For it's size, 1 FX bus is plenty.
@@RecordingStudio9 why should I have to choose between having a reverb and and a delay or be forced into having to use the combo on all the channels. Having individual assignments for each channel adds flexibility. A lot of the fx on here I don't even use because I would have to sacrifice the primary one that I use.
My light is still on. I didn’t pay $800 bucks for this dumb shit
