48-input Digital Mixer! More channels. More inputs. The new TASCAM DM- has more of everything that made the DM-24 a pedigreed studio workhorse, plus an improved physical interface with per-channel multi-function LED ring encoders, more comprehensive DAW control, vastly improved routing flexibility, easier and robust data backup/ restore, greatly expanded mix storage using compact flash media and much more. With the DM-, TASCAM brings the functionality of a big console to the world of DAWs. You can't go wrong with the DM-! TASCAM DM- At-a-Glance: Music Tracking Post Production and Game Production Live Sound and House of Worship Project Studio Recording Music Tracking When you're tracking a band in your studio, there are certain features that musicians and producers demand from a recording console. The DM- gives you eight aux sends so that you can give individual cue mixes to each musician and have some left over to buss to the two built-in effects. It has a professional control room section with talkback mic and slate functions as well as three playback source selection switches. For recording large ensembles you get 16 microphone preamps, each with analog insert, phantom power (selectable in groups of four) and a -20dB pad switch. Four assignable analog inputs are provided, for inserting your favorite tube compressor on a console channel, or you can use the 4-band EQ and dynamics found on every channel. When the sound is dialed in, send that channel to its own track with the Direct button or combine inputs to the 16 busses. There are plenty of digital and analog I/O options to combine stand-alone hard disk recorders (like the TASCAM X-48), analog tape recorders or computer-based DAW recorders. The affordable DM- handles all of the routing and bussing you need in a professional studio, allowing you to concentrate on running your session. Post Production and Game Production Mixing inside of a computer is difficult enough in stereo, and when you start working on surround projects, managing and monitoring all of the ins and outs becomes more like air traffic control. The DM- becomes your control center for mixing large projects with dozens of channels. It can mix your tracks with one snapshot, and with two button presses you're ready to transfer them to a dubber or video deck. Just connect your DAW interface, like Digidesign's 192 Digital I/O for Pro Tools, to one of the digital connections on the rear panel (or use our optional IF-FW/DM FireWire interface card). The DM- even acts as a HUI controller for Pro Tools, allowing you to mix some channels in the DAW and others in the console. The DM- is an outstanding choice for mixing in surround, with 5.1 and even 6.1 automated panning. The 16 busses become two surround busses in surround mode, allowing you to buss channels to discrete stems. The optional IF-SM/DM Surround Monitoring card provides downmixing to stereo, individual output solo/mute and bass management features to the console. Live Sound and House of Worship Like the DM-24, the DM- makes a reliable choice for sound reinforcement. Its 16 mic inputs give you plenty of channels for performances or services, and more mic inputs can be added as needed using external rackmount preamps with digital outputs. Each of the 32 channels features four-band parametric EQ, gating and compression processing. Two built-in effects processors can access a variety of great-sounding effects processors, including a reverb processor by TC Works. If you're the one installing the DM- into a facility, you can program a variety of settings and back up your programs to a Compact Flash card. Recalling snapshots is done using dedicated buttons on the front panel, so loading a mixer setting is as simple as changing channels on a TV remote. The rear panel of the DM- is well-stocked with balanced and digital I/O, allowing ample connectivity to crossovers, as well as CD and cassette recorders such as our popular CC-222 mkII. Project Studio Recording Add the optional IF-FW/DM interface card to the DM-, and it becomes the ultimate computer interface and mixing surface for your workstation software. The IF-FW/DM allows a single FireWire cable to transmit 32 channels from your computer to the DM- and another 16 channels back to the computer for recording. Using this expansion card, no other interface or hardware is needed for recording to a computer. The DM- has a fader layer, labeled 'Remote', that's dedicated to controlling the mixing facilities in your DAW software. There are two modes of control: Mackie Control and Mackie HUI emulation. The DM-'s solid transport keys can be mapped to your software in any fader layer, and adjustments to your software mixer is a fader layer away. The DM- + IF-FW/DM combination gives you the best of both worlds: computer recording and DAW control with world-class mixing, automation and monitoring features. Tascam DM- Features: 32 channels and 16 auxiliary returns for 48 total inputs 16 busses 8 Aux Sends 16 analog mic/line inputs with phantom power for condenser mics and analog inserts 24 channels of TDIF and 8 channels of ADAT built in 2 expansion card slots support optional FireWire, ADAT, AES/EBU, Analog & TDIF cards Dedicated cascade port supports cascade of two DM-s Per channel LED ring encoders for pan, aux sends and EQ Built-in DAW control All inputs, effects and processing are available at 96k -- no features are sacrificed at full sampling rate Transport controls Powerful automation with touch-sensitive motorized faders EQ and compression on each channel Two built-in effects processors at k or k Flexible routing Offload data to convenient Compact Flash media using built-in CF slot Optional MU- meter bridge Stylish, professional design with rear panel I/O connections TASCAM Mixer Companion software

Lexicon Omega Studio USB Audio Interface Pure Inspiration The recording professionals at Lexicon Pro know a thing or 2 about great audio -- that famed Lexicon reverb 'sound' has been on just about every hit recording since Lexicon invented digital reverb more than 30 years ago. So when they set out to bring that sound home -- they got truly inspired. The Complete System Nothing is more frustrating than buying a 'recording system', only to find out that you need a gaggle of extras just to make it all work. Omega Studio is a completely integrated computer recording system that includes the Omega 8x4x2 USB I/O Mixer, Steinberg's Cubase LE audio and MIDI recording software, and Lexicon's world-class Pantheon VST Reverb plug-in. The Omega Desktop Recording Studio quite literally contains all the necessary components to transform your computer into a professional 24-bit recording studio - all in one box. A Real Mixer Unlike standard computer I/O boxes based on a patch bay concept, the Lexicon Omega Studio is designed and built around the same paradigm as large-format recording consoles. An 8-input, 4-Bus, 2-output USB I/O mixer with inserts, instrument input, MIDI I/O and complete metering and monitoring functions gives you the freedom to record up to 4 tracks at once and mix without the need for additional mixing hardware. Two dbx Silver Series mic preamps with 48V phantom power provide a pristine front end for high-end condenser or more common dynamic microphones, insuring premium sound quality from the first take to the last. TRS insert points allow you to plug in your favorite dynamic processors before the signal reaches 1 of the 4 busses, where 24-bit converters transform the analog signal into a digital masterpiece. Four servo-balanced TRS line inputs with up to +22dBu input levels let you hook up everything from keyboards to guitar preamps, including high-output professional gear. Stereo digital inputs are available via SPDIF jacks, and an additional high-impedance instrument input is included on the front panel for easy access to guitars and basses. Finally, a fully opto-isolated MIDI input to ensures that there is no annoying ground loop hum or MIDI talk-through noise common with many I/O boxes and sound cards; MIDI output has rock-solid synchronization to USB frame rate to support applications requiring critical sync. The Omega I/O mixer also features channel peak indicators for each analog input as well as an assignable bargraph meter for the 4 busses. By monitoring the signal before the A/D converters, clipping and distortion can be averted, unlike software-only level monitoring that can miss 'overs', ruining the track. All these gazintas and getoutzas are put together just like a big recording console, with input gain controls, four recording busses, and full monitoring features, in one attractive, portable I/O Mixer. Just plug it into your Mac or PC computer with the included USB cable, and you're instantly ready to capture the moment. Steinberg Cubase LE Multi-Track Recording Software Steinberg is a leader in computer-based recording. From the first idea to complete compositions, Cubase is the virtual studio for all musicians and producers looking for a creative way to realize their projects. Cubase LE integrates seamlessly with the Omega I/O Mixer to achieve an easy-to-use, 48-track complete recording solution that includes all of the modules that you need to track, edit and mix your masterpiece.

Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 USB Audio Interface - USB 2.0 audio interface with four Focusrite mic presets The new Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 18-in/8-out interface extends the Scarlett range of USB 2.0 interfaces from Focusrite, each of which offers a series of high-quality inputs and outputs for different recording requirements. With four Focusrite mic pres, Scarlett 18i8 is designed for producers and recording artists or bands who require the ability to record a significant number of sources at the same time including multiple mics/instruments, with expansion capability enabling it to handle multiple studio recording requirements. Scarlett 18i8 works on Mac, PC and iPad (Apple Camera Connection Kit required for iPad). Focusrite: Over 25 years of audio excellence Focusrite was commissioned to make its first ¿no-holds-barred¿ microphone preamps by Sir George Martin for his Air Studio facility in London. Over the following 25 years Focusrite has designed some of the finest mic preamps in the music industry, and in recent years has developed a series of best-selling audio interfaces for people who really care about sound. 18 separate inputs At the heart of 18i8 is a set of four Focusrite mic preamps with up to 60dB gain, designed specifically for Focusrite¿s computer audio interfaces. The first two offer Mic/Line/Instrument on universal XLR/TRS connectors while 3 and 4 offer Mic/Line capability on universal XLRs ¿ all four on the front panel with pads and 48V phantom power. Four more line inputs are provided on TRS connectors. An ADAT optical digital connector provides eight additional digital inputs that can also be used with external mic preamps like Focusrite's OctoPre Mk II to increase the number of mic inputs the 18i8 can handle to 12. A stereo S/PDIF coaxial input is also included. 8 independent outputs On the output side, there are two TRS monitor outputs, stereo S/PDIF coax, and two independent stereo headphone outputs, each with their own volume knob so artist and engineer can control their own personal monitoring. All analogue inputs and outputs have their own connectors, so no breakout cables are required, and all feature Focusrite precision 24-bit, 96kHz sampling A/D and D/A conversion to get the most accurate signal possible into and out of recording applications on Windows®, Mac® and now iOS® apps. Tough and innovative hardware Scarlett 18i8 is housed in a compact red unibody metal case to withstand the rigours of the road ¿ and the studio. Input level controls feature signal halos ¿ LED rings around the level control that give a simple and immediate go/no-go level indication: green means there is a recordable signal while red indicates overload. A large main monitor knob with mute button means that main monitor levels are always at your fingertips. Included software Included in the package is the Scarlett MixControl low-latency DSP-based software mixer and router, with intuitive one-click presets and a latency of under 1.4 ms. You¿ll also find the Scarlett plug-in suite for VST, AU and RTAS, offering EQ, gate, compression and reverb, plus Ableton Live Lite, the Novation Bass Station soft synth and a Loopmasters sample pack.

Sample simplicity MPX16 is an advanced sample player with sixteen backlit velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads. With it, musicians, producers and performers can trigger sound samples stored on standard SD or SDHC cards. Insert the SD card, assign its contents to any of the MPX16s pads, and go. At home in the studio as part of a producer's rig or on stage as a solution for triggering critical sounds, MPX16 is a compact sampling powerhouse. In and Out While the hyper-responsive trigger pads and backlit display make tapping into your sample library a simple task, the integrated audio inputs empower you to add to it. Two -inch (6.3mm) jacks let you connect your studio gear or other sound sources to the MPX16 for sample capture. Onboard editing tools provide sample trimming and pad assignment for immediate synergy into a production or performance. Use the headphone jack to monitor your captures, or send the audio to a mixer, monitors, a recording interface, etc using the -inch main outs. A built-in mic provides immediate sample capture for those times when inspiration strikes; a dedicated Record Gain knob ensures you get it right. USB & MIDI MPX16s flexibility goes beyond pad-triggered audio playback and capture. The full-size rear-panel USB port lets you drag & drop samples from your computer and even use the MPX16 as an SD card reader/writer. The USB connection also provides a pipeline for MIDI data, enabling sample triggering from your DAW or computer-based sequencer. A 5-pin MIDI input means SD samples may be triggered from any MIDI-enabled gear such as keyboards, pad controllers, synths and electronic drums. A 5-pin MIDI output lets the MPX16 function as a dynamic pad controller. Layering wide-ranging sound sources during live and studio performance just got easier. Edit with Ease With the included Akai Pro MPX File Conversion Utility software (free download), managing computer-based samples and moving them to the SD card is intuitive. This software converts sound files into.WAV format for seamless playback on the MPX16. Samples may be edited from the MPX16's onboard sample processor; tuning, pad groups, envelopes, sample trimming, panning, and volume are tweakable right from the MPX16s top-panel controls. Ready to go MPX16s compact footprint means it is at home on a tabletop, music stand, lap, tray-table or in your backpack en route to the studio. Solid Akai Pro design and industry-leading pads ensure it stands up to the daily use you expect it to see. SD and SDHC cards sold separately.
