TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
Common area indicators and controls
In addition to the parameters visible above, the com-
mon area also provides a way of viewing the current
I/O assignment, together with a graphical view of the
current EQ settings, as well as the current dynamics
processor (with meter) and meter facilities.
NOTE
Some of these parameters can be viewed and set glo-
bally for the whole console. See “Setting up the I/O” on
page 36.
The on-screen controls available in the common area
are:
Dynamics controls
The exact controls and display vary, depending on
what channel has been selected (see “Dynamics pro-
cessors” on page 63 for full details of the availability
of dynamics processors for the different modules of
the DM-24):
Gate/Expander An on-screen button allows the
gate/expander to be switched, with a gain reduction
meter displayed.
Compressor An on-screen button allows the com-
pressor to be turned on and off ( ENTER key), with a
dynamics graph. The gain reduction meter also
applies to the compressor.
The appearance of this button changes, depending on
what link option has been selected (see “LINK L-
>R” on page 64):
Compressor insert point The compressor can
be inserted either pre- or post-EQ (channels). The
master insert is pre-fader.
Simply press the ENTER key when PRE EQ or POST
EQ is highlighted, to toggle between the two positions
(the dial key acts as a cursor here).
Dynamics meter This meter shows the post-com-
pressor effect of the dynamics processor assigned to
the module.
A graphical display of the settings is also provided
(with attack, knee point, compression ratio, hystere-
sis, etc. displayed).
