Model 16 All-In-One 16-track Mixing and Recording Studio, Analog Mixer, Digital Recorder, USB Audio Interface

Gute Handhabung. Sehr Kopakt da man mit einem Gerät einige Funktionen abdecken kann. Gut Qualität und schöne Verarbeitung

Took a little time to get the hang of everything, but once I did, this thing’s been a beast. I mainly picked it up for the 16-channel multitrack recording through audacity — and for that alone, it’s been perfect. Clean, reliable, and just works. I’ve also been using it for live recording, online streaming, and mixing jam sessions, and it hasn’t let me down once. The routing options are super flexible, and it feels like it can handle whatever I throw at it. Solid build, great sound, and once you figure out the flow, it’s smooth sailing. If you need something that can do a bit of everything, the Model 16 is a winner.

This is a great sounding mixer and recorder, useful for studio recording and live sound. 16 mic input channels are really fantastic! The mix can be heard on the output channels, fully EQd, while all channels can be recorded without being affected by the EQ or fader position. Perfect for well mixed and EQd live sound and at the same time, recording of a direct signal that can be EQd and mixed later in your favorite mixing software. The only small drawback is that phantom power is applied to all channels simultaneously, so if you have vintage ribbon mics that might be damaged by phantom power, you may not want to plug them into the phantom power carrying inputs; you need to put a phantom power blocker in between the mic and the input.

I like the hands on recording and analouge mixing abilities, slightly fiddly menu system but get used to it quite quickly, not too steep a learning curve. I Like the daw interface capabilty, can read or write to or from daw channels. I do find the fx quite limited,as a single global fx on all channels. Unlike other korg recorder i use with fx per channel. Possibly the 12 is different being digital. Went for the 16 to get more inputs. Not used in live situstion yet but the aux and sub channels are prob going to be useful.

This is a great recording device for an analog guy, it is much easier to use the tascam than any computer recording system for me, and it is very clean if you get your gain levels right. I have researched this unit for a while and read complaints about it too, it is exactly what I needed and had no problems getting SD cards to work in this unit. The instruction manual was fairly straight forward, and I am getting familiar with the unit, but it does take some patience. Thanks to Amazon Warehouse I was able to afford this 24 channel recorder to catalogue and record my songs. thank you tascam for a great design, and Amazon for the deal.
