[. . . ] TM-D1000 Digital Mixer Tutorial January 1999 The Purpose of this Tutorial: The TM-D1000 Digital Mixer Tutorial is designed to help you become familiar with the normal operations of this digital mixer in a reasonably short time. Its content was based on the training and trouble shooting experience of our Product Specialists. This guide does not cover every feature; its purpose is to get you up and running quickly. We recommend you start out with this manual, but remember to at least scan the other manuals later on so you will be aware of their contents. [. . . ] One step better, you can also automate the entire mixer with a MIDI sequencer. You've already got a TDIF port, two digital outs and one digital in. That adds another TDIF port for up to 16 tracks of multitrack sends and returns, an additional 2 digital inputs, and a sample rate converter. Also, if you need more mic inputs, the MA-AD8 offers 8 more mic preamps just like the ones on the mixer. Again, for more information, see Section XIV - Optional Accessories for the TMD1000. While all of this probably seems real fascinating, you probably want to find out how to record right now!The next section walks you through the recording process step by step. Section X 1/99 Section X, page 1 TASCAM TM-D1000 Tutorial TM-D1000 QuickStart For directions on how to set everything up, see Section III - Recording Hook-up. Once that's done, the instructions below will walk you through a really basic recording session. There are two different paths for routing audio to your multitrack: direct out or buss. Step I - Initializing the TM-D1000 Initializing the mixer resets the mixer to the factory settings. It erases all snapshot scenes, custom effects, and routing options selected. We put this option at the top of the QuickStart to make sure you are starting from the same point we are. If you have custom settings in the mixer, either perform a data dump to save the data to a sequencer (step-by-step directions can be found Section XII - MIDI Implementation), or DO NOT DO THIS!Step II - Direct Out Recording When using a direct out, each channel is routed directly to a corresponding track on the recorder. In other words, input channel 1 records DIRECTLY to track 1, input 7 records directly to track 7, etc. In order to use this: Basic recording settings - Raise the master fader to "0" - Set the level control above the L-R fader to a comfortable level (probably around the 10 o'clock position. ) - Make sure the L-R button directly beneath the Phones control is pushed down. Getting signal into the channel - Plug a microphone, guitar, keyboard, or another sound source into channel 1. - Raise the fader of channel 1 to the "0" on the channel strip. Routing signal to the recorder - Press CH SEL above channel 1 to access routing of channel 1. Press L-R to disengage the routing of channel 1 directly to the main output, and the light will go out. you'll see!) - Arm (record enable) track 1 of the multitrack recorder. If your recorder is connected correctly, input signal from channel 1 should be showing up on the meters of the recorder. [. . . ] (The TM-D1000 automatically changes sample rate to match the master clock. ) 3) Error!Fs Clock Error>Internal A) This means you have a Word Sync port set as the word clock master, but there is no information coming from it. MMC System not closed A) This means that MMC information is being sent to a recorder, but there is not 2-way communication. See the MIDI Implementation section for more information on open/closed MIDI loops, and how to set them. [. . . ]
