Tascam Model 12 - Tips for New Users

The Tascam Model 12 is a excellent multi-track recorder for home use. However, there a few things that can spoil your initial experience. In this video I try to point out a handful suggestions and watch outs.

00:00 Introduction
01:20 Analog vs. Digital
02:02 Mode Switch ** See note below.
03:05 Menu Button and Multi-Jog/Enter Knob
04:58 Headphone Out
06:31 AFL/PFL Buttons and Meter Display
07:38 TRRS Phone cable overrides ¼” inputs for tracks 9/10
08:54 Identifying active/loaded songs
10:11 Need to exit from Effects section for tape transport keys to function
11:10 Rename/Delete song
13:44 Recording everything flat
14:46 Conclusion

** This section was not entirely correct. If you leave it in MTR mode, then you control the input/output my just using the arm (record) button for that channel. It still works the way I described in the video, but it's not required to switch back and forth like I indicated.

If you would like to help support my channel please consider giving a one time contribution!
