plugging this signal into the MX-2424 will register 6dB less then if a “balanced”signal were sent to it.To use this solution with other recorders we recommend that the manufacturer isconsulted as to what cable to use with their product.For a DA-78HR or DA-38 use ¼” to RCA cables:CU/SU302 6ft.CU/SU303 10ft.CU/SU304 13ft.CU/SU305 16ft.CU/SU307 23ft.The DA-78HR and DA-38 have unbalanced inputs and we recommend that theyare used for this solution.Tracking with channels 25-32If only 8 tracks of simultaneous recording are necessary, mic/line inputs 1-8 canbe assigned to channels 25-32. Use busses 1-8 to buss the signal to tapedigitally and use channels 1-24 as digital tape return channels. This is also avery easy way to work.EFFECTSThe DM-24 has two internal effects processors. Processor #1 contains the TCWorks reverb (over 100 presets) and the Antares Mic and Speaker modeler. TCworks reverb and the Antares Speaker modeler cannot be used simultaneously.Processor #2 contains TASCAM effects:• Chorus• Delay• Pitch Shifting• Phaser• Flanger• Compressor• Guitar compressor• Exciter• De-esser• Gate• Distortion (with amp simulators)There are two locations called “Effect 1 and Effect 2” where these algorithms canbe loaded. The source of the inputs to Effects 1 and Effects 2 can be Aux sends1-6. Effects returns can be assigned to any of the 32 channels. Effects 1 and 2can also be routed as “inserts” on busses 1-8, Aux sends 1-6 or the stereo buss.The internal effects can also be used with the “assignable” inserts. For instance,if a fretless bass is on channel 2 and chorus needs to be added to it, assign thechorus effect to assignable insert #1 and assign insert #1 to channel 2. Usingthe assignable insert saves an aux send and two return channels.Effect 1 and Effect 2 can also be run in series. This would allow you to run adelay into a reverb, for instance.
