Published on 10/06/11 at 22:47The Tascam DM 3200 feels and sounds great. I love the routing flexibility that can be stored in the presets. The integration with software is great. However, there are a few minor bugs that still need to be worked out between Sonar 5.2 and the control page.
UTILIZATION
All in all they took the functionality of the DM-24 and made it better. The REMOTE layer is perfect for DAW use. Simple to set-up--easy to use. We swapped the FIREWIRE and ADAT cards (from the DM-24) right into our console with no issues. (NOTE: We had purchased a later model FIREWIRE card that has jumper options to allow it to work in either the DM-24 or DM-3200.)
SOUNDS
Sounds Great, love the effects and filters. It will work with virtually any style of music that you create. Plus Tascam offers great support on the phone if you need to troubleshoot or just have some questions.
OVERALL OPINION
The Tascam DM 3200 is great (OSX). The new companion software is useful and responsive. It provides individual channel metering if you did not purchase the meterbridge as well as the ability to save/backup configurations on your PC. Navigation is better and overall and functionality is much more intuitive (than the DM-24). Its pretty expensive but if you can afford it I say go with it, I am thankful that we have one of these on hand at the university for me to use on a personal level. I will purchase one of these one day for my home set up. Once you learn the logic behind the routing, you can make it do anything you want it to do. I use Cubase 5 with it and a modest PC and I haven't had one problem with the combination since. You can't go wrong if you buy this unit. It makes recording very easy and sounds great. You really need to buy the firewire card for 32 channel I/O.
