Value For Money :
Excellent
- Is the rack? Oh no, it's a beautiful animal that does not fit in a rack
- How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)? 48 channels to be distributed in any way you want: between 24 inputs TDIF, ADAT and 8, the 4 effects returns or 16 analog inputs. For the rest, see the datasheet.
- What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)? TRS and XLR
- The parametric equalizer is it? yes
- The effects section is it integrated? Yes ...
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is it simple? enough. It takes a little time to understand the logic of the console, but you get done.
- The usual functions are they easily accessible? ergonomics is perfect, we feel it is a culmination of all the tests in the Tascam digital offspring of 8000, 4000
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... The manual is very well done in french. There are some major bugs such as the fact activate the Auto Fader module select to run the automation. This is not specified in the manual without using the Tascam SAV in France is not far from the nervous breakdown. The rest is perfect, there is a separate instruction manual for automation and a general for the console.
SOUNDS
- The A / D and D / A are transparent? The sound of this console is excellent. It seems that there are still guys who buy SSL? Big mistake!
- Effects and filters are effective? Yes
- The dynamics are respected? ... Yes.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it? It's been two months now and it is a treat. I took two to get a max of channels for cheap: only problem cascade mode is not implemented on this version and it will take the 1.20 for it in motion. the trick to bypass by connecting the output of an AES input on the other.
- What is so special that you like most and least? The more the number of channels in digital interfaces are automatically included in the console, no option to work: Motu interfaces with opportunities in the PC, you can connect three without flinching. hop and 24 tracks at once.
The Less (1): the screen is too small and a little info and provided it is sometimes difficult to read everything. A connection on a flat screen 17 'would have been ideal.
The least (2): monitoring of MTC with Logic 5.5 on a computer connected in midi is erratic. We can not be trusted: the table is a shot ahead of five seconds, once it is late 3. It is problematic to synchronize the automation. Fortunately, the full moon days, it works, then it's time to make his mix!
- Have you tried many other models before buying it? I tried everything and I do not regret having waited this Tascam, I think for the price, there is no better today.
- How would you rate the quality / price? Excellent for the console. Only the Vu meter band is a bit expensive: around 750 euros.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ... Without hesitation. This console is full arch, very good sound. I qq problems with word clock sync, but everything should work out with the acquisition of a central clock. The rest is impeccable: 96 channels in total for 8000 euros, which could be better.
