You can refer to this if you are looking for specific features. The TM-D1000 is a 16 channel digital mixer. The first 8 channels have a\ nalog inputs, the last 8 have digital inputs. When recording, the first 8 channels will probably be u\ sed for bringing signal into the mixer and sending it to the multitrack. The last 8 will probably be use\ d for monitoring multitrack returns. On mixdown and for live situations, you can use all 16 channels simultan\ eously. Each channel has a 3 band EQ. The mid band is parametric, and the highs and lows are sweepable. (If you are unfamiliar with these terms, look up “EQ ” in Section XIII - What The Heck is That?) All three bands are totally overlappable from 41Hz to 16kHz. While the names of the bands are high/mid/low, they can all be assigned virtually anywhere in the audible frequency spectrum. auxiliary sends. Each one is individually selectable pre or post fader. They can be used as mono sends or you can take two and gang them in stereo. That way, youve got either 4 mono sends, or one stereo and two mono sends. The TM-D1000 also offers up to 4 Built in effects also come standard on the TM-D1000. The built in card offers 4 slots of processing. Dynamics (i.e. compressors and expanders) take one slot. Stereo effects (i.e. reverb, flange, delay, etc.) take two slots. After youve slaved over your mix and gotten everything set just the way you like it, you can save the mix. There are 128 scenes of snapshot memory, which will store your levels, EQ, aux, routing, and effects. You can name your scenes, with up to a 16 character name. We have included upper and lower case letters, numbers, and everything you need for proper punctuation in your scene name. (Your English teacher will be proud.) One unique feature and great advantage to the scene memory in this mixer is the transition time. This allows you to create a crossfade from one scene into the next. The transition time is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds in 1/10 of a seco\ nd intervals. This is very useful for setting up separate mixes of the verse, chorus, or bridge, and simpl\ y recalling the scene to smoothly fade from one section to the next. It can also be used to give a beauti\ ful fade-out at the end of the song. These scenes are recallable via MIDI with a standard program numb\ er message. (Note: Channel and master volumes are the only parameters that will crossfade. \ The EQ, aux, etc. all snap instantaneously with the scene change.) For more advanced automation options, all mixing functions have been ass\ igned to MIDI parameters for real-time automation with a MIDI sequencer. Simply put the sequencer in\ to record and start mixing. MIDI messages will be sent out, and received. Also, if you have a recorder that can receive MIDI Machine Control, the \ TM-D1000 can act as the remote control with Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Record, 16 locate \ points, and track arming.

Whether your studio is digital or analog, there are a few things you nee\ d to know before really getting into any recording. When digital audio devices are linked together, it \ is imperative that the user understand terms like word clock, sample rate, and bit rate. So, here’s a crash course in digital audio. Recovering Sample Data 0000000000000000 ----- OVER ----- 1000000000000000 00010000000000000010000000000000001100000000000001000000000000000101000000000000011000000000000001110000000000001001000000000000101000000000000010110000000000001100000000000000110100000000000011100000000000001111000000000000 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748 Sampling 1/1000th Second of Audio Reconstructing Waveform The first thing we need to explain is what this squiggly line that everyone always draws actually represents. For the physics buffs, this displays force over time. For the rest of the world, think of this line as the path the speaker diaphragm will take to reproduce the sound. If you put a ruler vertically across the wave, and drag the paper across underneath the ruler horizontally, the waveform line tells you where the speaker moves when making that sound. Digital audio converters are kind of like a movie projector on 15 cups of Starbucks coffee. In a movie, the moving picture is made up of a series of still \ images flashed by you at a rate of 24 to 30 frames a second. But remember, each picture is a still image. \ In audio, we are examining the waveform at a rate of 44,100 times per second (44.1kHz) or 48,000 time\ s per second (48kHz.) The number of times per second we are examining the sound wave is our sample\ rate. Each time the waveform is examined, the position of the waveform is recorded with a binary number, called a word. The number of digits in the word is your bit rate. (Each digit is one “bit ”.) For instance, 0100110100111001 is a 16 bit word, because it has 16 digits in it. 011010001011110100110010 is a 24 bit word, because it has 24 digits in it. When it comes time to convert the digital signal back into analog, the sample data must be reconstructed. The data itself is simply storing the location of the sound wave at a given interval. Once the data is recovered, the waveform is reconstructed. This is a bi\ g game of dot-to-dot, except the converters are typically armed with some fancy mathematical symbols that\ round out the edges. Once that ’s done, you ’ve got your sound back! So, the two main aspects of a digital signal are the sample rate, and the word length AKA bit rate. The word length of each device can vary because most digital devices can truncate extra digits out, or fill blank spaces in with more zeros. But, the sample rate must remain the same when the connection is made digitally. In fact, the sample rate not only needs to be the same, but the sample rate needs to be synchronized between all the units. The sample rate is synchronized by utilizing a word clock master. One device in the chain will be designated the master, and the others will follow. Some digital lines are internally clocked, meaning they carry word clock information within\ the line. Others will require separate word clock lines. On the next three pages you will find diagra\ ms for some common hook-ups for the TM-D1000, as well as instructions for setting the word clock sta\ tus on your TM-D1000 mixer.

Press ENTER. Master Clock SelectTDIF-1 A? 4) Rotate the DATA ENTRY dial to the appropriate source. Press ENTER. TASCAMTM-D1000 If you are using a DA-38 or DA-98, your master word clock should be set to TDIF1 A. This makes your Multitrack machine the word clock master. The DA-38 and DA-98 can both \ transmit word clock information through the TDIF1 line, and the TM-D1000 will follow that. NOTE: The TDIF cable must be connected from the DA-38 or DA-98 to the TM-D1000 before setting the Mas\ ter Word Clock. Otherwise, the TM-D1000 display will read “Error! No Signal TDIF-1 A ”. This means there is no word clock information at the TDIF port. The TM-D1000 then resets the Master Word \ clock to the internal clock. If you are using a DA-88, your master word clock should be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word S\ ync In [48k] depending on what sample rate you are using. If you formatted \ your tape at 44.1kHz, then use Word Sync In [44.1k]. If you formatted your tape at 48kHz, then use Wor\ d Sync In [48k]. If you don ’t know which sample rate you selected for your machine, there are two indi\ cator lights on the DA-88 just to the right of the “tape eject ” button labelled 44.1k and 48k. NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be connected from the DA-88 to the TM-D1000 before setting the master word \ clock. Otherwise, the TM- D1000 display will read “Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal ”. This means there is no word clock information at the Word Sync In port. The TM-D1000 then resets the master word cloc\ k to the internal clock. If you are using an ADAT or another lightpipe unit with an IF-TAD, your master word clock should be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word Sync In [48k] depending on what s\ ample rate you are using. If you formatted your tape at 44.1kHz, then use Word Sync In [44.1k]. If y\ ou formatted your tape at 48kHz, then use Word Sync In [48k]. NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be connected from the IF-TAD to the TM-D1000 before setting the master word clock. Otherwise, the TM-D1000 \ display will read “Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal ”.

The faders, pan pots, and mute/solo buttons are all dedicated per channe\ l giving you instant access to all of these parameters on all channels simultaneously. Bussing, EQ, an\ d Aux are all handled one channel (or stereo pair) at a time. In other words, you select which \ channel you want to change and then start modifying the parameters. To select a channel, press the CH SEL button located on the channel strip. You can group channels together by simply pressing the adjacent CH SEL buttons at the same time. To ungroup the channels, press the two CH SEL keys together again. (You can only group an odd channel with the following even channel. In other words, channels 1 & 2 can be grouped, but not channel 2 & 3. Channels 3 & 4 can be grouped, but not 4 & 5...) 1-23-4L-REQDIRECTOUT Press CH SEL of thechannel you wish to route,then select your busses.The buttons will light up toindicate signal is routed. Note: Busses are onlyactive in some buss/auxconfigurations. For moreinformation, seeBUSS+AUX=4. ACCESSING BUSSES TASCAMTM-D1000 Once youve selected a channel to work on, you can change the settings o\ f the channel. The bussing groups are located just above the first 8 channel strips. (Not all of \ these are accessible right off the bat... well cover that soon.) The EQ and aux controls are accessed in the display window. Simply press the PARAM SEL button to scroll through the parameters and stop at the one you wish to change. The lights just above it will turn green to indicate which parameter is accessed.

They can be changed with the four dials just underneath the screen. If there is an arrow in the \ upper right corner of the screen, that means there are more parameters on another screen. Simply turn the DATA\ ENTRY dial in the direction of the arrow to get to those parameters. If there is a down arrow, pres\ s the DATA ENTRY dial directly down. To access the EQ, press the CH SEL button on the channel you wish to cha\ nge, then press PARAM SEL until the EQ light just above the PARAM SEL button turns green. Als\ o, make sure the EQ ON/OFF button above channel 6 is lit. Otherwise, the EQ on that channel is def\ eated. ---------- Walk through EQ ---------- Section IV Navigating the TM-D1000 Section IV, page 1TASCAM TM-D1000 Tutorial1/99 EFFECT/DYNAMICSAUXEQ PARAMSEL
Section IV, Continued Section IV, page 2 The digital pad is in the EQ screen just in case you boost the EQ to the\ point of distorting the channel. When you boost the gain on the EQ, you\ are actually increasing the volume of the signal. If the volume is boos\ ted too much, the channel can overload.

The digital pad reduces th\ e signal level before it enters the EQ section in increments of 6dB, allowing more headroom for heavy handed\ EQ curves. The other three parameters are the controls for the mid band of the EQ. \ This is the parametric band. Youll notice the right arrow in the upper right of the screen. So, tur\ n the DATA ENTRY dial to the right, and well see the rest of the EQ section. The screen should look someth\ ing like this: Here we have the two sweepable bands of EQ. As we mentioned in Section I - Mixer Overview, all of the bands of EQ sweep from 41Hz to 16kHz. So, they can be placed in any order you wish. Again, in the upp\ er right hand side of the screen, there is an arrow. This time it points t\ o the left. Turning the DATA ENTRY dial to the left will bring us back to the\ first screen of the EQ. Note: The following walk-through assumes you have not changed the mixer\ from the factory default configuration. To get to the Auxiliaries, press the CH SEL button on the channel you wi\ sh to change, then press PARAM SEL until the AUX light just above the PARAM SEL button turns gree\ n. The screen will look as follows: ---------- Walk through the Aux ---------- 1-2 Pan-Level34CTR000 1-234PostPostPost Currently, the first two auxiliaries are ganged in stereo. The third an\ d fourth aux sends are each mono. Again, the four parameters are changed with the four dials located directly underneath them. Since the\ first two effects are ganged in stereo, the two controls become panning between the two sends, and level. Sends 3 and 4 each have simpl\ e level controls. Again, youll notice there is an arrow in the upper right. If you turn the DATA ENTRY dial to the right, you can change the aux to pre or post fader. Note that each aux on each channel is independently adjustable to pre or post fader; this screen is not a global change for \ the entire board. The black faders to the right of all your channel strips act as the aux \ send master. So, to get an aux send out, you need to mix the appropriate amount on each channel aux and rais\ e the aux send master to the appropriate level. If we are using the aux for effect sends, then we will also need to return the effects somewhere. The board’s default setting brings one of the built-in effects into EFFECT RETURN. So, if the board is set up in the default mode, the channel aux send, master aux send, and EFFECT RETURN all need to be raised. TASCAM TM-D1000 Tutorial1/99
Section IV, Continued Section IV, page 3TASCAM TM-D1000 Tutorial1/99 When you are ready to change the configuration of the mixer from the def\ ault settings, it is important to know that the busses (1-2, 3-4) share the routing with the auxiliaries\ . So, you can have 4 busses and no auxiliaries, 2 busses and 2 auxiliaries, or no busses and 4 auxiliaries.\ For more information on this, read Section V - Buss+Aux=4. Note: The following walk-through assumes you have not changed the mixer\ from the factory default configuration. For more information on effect configuration with the ef\ fects card, see Section VI - Effect Set-ups. 2-01Concert HallIn:100Dir: 0Eff:100TypeRev-THall52ms98P-DlyDiff2.8s 1-180dB LimitIn:100Eff:OffThshdAtt-T-16dB900ms1/64Rls-TRatio3ms --------- Walk through the Effects ---------- To get to your built-in effects, press the PARAM SEL until the EFFECT/DYNAMICS light turns green. The first screen shows whether the effect is engaged or not, and where the input and output levels are set for that processor. In the upper right, there is an arrow pointing to the right, as well as a down arrow. If you turn the DATA ENTRY dial to the right, you can edit the parameters of a particular effect. If you press the DATA ENTRY dial\ down, you can switch between two built-in processors. To change the type of effect, make sure the screen is showing the proces\ sor you wish to change, and press ESCAPE/RECALL. The screen will flash effect names. Rotate the DA\ TA ENTRY dial to select the effect you wish to use. To make finding specific effects easier, the to\ p line gives you the name of the effect, while the bottom line will tell you what the effect is (i.e. re\ verb, delay, flange, chorus, etc.) Once you’ve found the effect you wish to select, press Enter. Currently, there are two effect processors Processor 1 on L/R output - This processor is very useful for master mix\ compression, gating, enhancing EQ, or even adding some phase/flange/chorus for wild effects. Processor 2 on aux 1&2 - This processor allows reverb, delay, chorus, ph\ asing, flanging etc. to be applied in different amounts to each channel. This will act just like a\ n external effect processor which is fed by AUX SEND 1 and 2, and returns through EFFECT RETURN. These effect processors can be reassigned to many different configuratio\ ns. For a detailed explanation of the options, see Section V - Buss+Aux=4, and Section VI - Effect Set-\ ups. The built-in snapshot capability can make mixing your song much easier. \ You can set up separate mixes for the intro, verse, chorus, etc. Then, you can use the transition tim\ e with each snapshot to create a smooth crossfade from one part to the next. To save a snapshot, press SHIFT and STORE. (You must do this while not\ in an effects screen, otherwise you will only store the effect.) The screen will show you yo\ ur first available snapshot. In other words, if you have 8 snapshots already stored, the mixer will automatica\ lly offer to record the snapshot as number 9. This way, you do not have to worry about accidentally reco\ rding over any other scenes. If you are choosing to write a new snapshot, press ENTER. If you want to r\ ecord over an old snapshot, rotate the DATA ENTRY dial until you reach the snapshot you want to over\ write and press ENTER. ---------- Walk through Snapshots ----------
