It would also have bumped up the asking price significantly! As it is, the Model 24 offers you enough built-in recording facilities that you can be liberated from the computer when recording or songwriting. To have turned this into a full bells-and-whistles digital studio would have added considerably to the unit's complexity, putting off as many people as it pleased. Some may lament that fact, but I think it's a very sensible design decision. What the Model 24 isn't is a direct replacement for the do-everything stand‑alone digital Portastudio that Tascam and others have being making and refining for the last couple of decades. That, though, is a rather different product that I'll discuss towards the end of this review. In fact, the only current product I'm aware of that offers this facility and a similar number of channels for around the same price is the Zoom LiveTrak L‑20. For individual track-arming in such a setup, you'd need either a computer or a more upmarket device such as a JoeCo Black Box Recorder. That's something you can't do when partnering another mixer with one of the latest generation of stand‑alone multitrack recorders from, for example, Cymatic Audio or Allen & Heath, since these devices record to all tracks simultaneously (or, at best, in two passes, each writing to half the tracks). Crucially, though, the individual track-arming means you have the option of recording a full 22-track project all at once or building it up only one or two parts at a time. There are no editing tools and there's no virtual takes facility, or anything like that. You can record, playback, punch in (with a pre-roll if you wish), choose your song sample rate/word length and edit song names. The integrated multitrack digital recorder is the headline feature, and by today's standards it is fairly basic - though I believe that's deliberate. Unlike some other all-in-one products, the Model 24 is arguably best thought of first and foremost as an analogue mixer - but one with a multitrack recorder built in, and one that doubles up as a 16-mic preamp, 22-input USB 2.0 audio interface. I was also interested to find out how it might meet the needs of location recordists or those capturing live recordings of gigging bands.

Now, I don't plan on ditching my DAW software any time soon - but I was certainly keen to discover how much of that old, simpler approach to recording Tascam's Model 24 could bring back to my studio. With its striking colour scheme, long-throw faders, faux-wood metal end-cheeks, and spacious layout, the Model 24 evokes memories of a time in which every function had a dedicated control and confusing nested digital menus were a rarity. but what I want is the behavior you get when you set pre-roll and Quick Punch in ProTools: to hear the existing track up to the punch-point, but have the record start during the pre-roll).Offering both retro analogue simplicity and modern digital recording facilities, can this device be master of all trades? If this truly is impossible, it sure seems like it would be a useful feature (hate to compare with other DAWs. Possible, but requires a lot of clicking.ĭoes anyone know of a way to get the Punch On The Fly behavior, but automated like Autopunch ? The only way I know of to accomplish what I want is to use two separate tracks, cut the original material manually after bar 12, start recording on another track at bar 10, then cut bars 10-12 on the new track after the record and move the new region back to the original track. Alternatively, I could put the playhead right at bar 12 and set a count-in of 2 bars, which will almost do what I want, but it mutes all the existing material during the count-in, so I can't hear what's on the track from bars 10-12 before my punch.

With an auto-punch area starting at bar 12, the recording starts exactly at bar 12, and nothing is captured before that point (the manual suggests otherwise on p.454, but this seems to be wrong). I've never found any good way to do this.

This is GREAT when I'm recording someone else, but when I'm tracking myself, I'd like to get the same functionality, only with an automated punch, so I don't have to press record-toggle manually. The new region starts at bar 12, but contains audio all the way back to bar 10, in case it's useful later.

With Punch On The Fly, this is easy: just put the playhead at bar 10, press play, then record-toggle at bar 12. and have Logic record the material between bars 10-12, so I can adjust the punch point later if necessary. Start playback at bar 10, monitoring existing material on my record-enabled track Occurred to me today I'd like to get a particular kind of punch-in behavior in Logic, but I've never known how.
