Other common controls and displays
Digital trim and pan There are also two other 
controls visible at the bottom of the screen—the digi-
tal trim and pan—above the soft key labels. These are 
dealt with below (“Digital trim control” on page 51 
and “Pan control” on page 51.
Phase switch This on-screen switch reverses the 
phase of the input signal (use the 
ENTER key to tog-
gle on and off).

ENTER), the CENTER button described above will be 
disabled (grayed out).
Balance controls for stereo linked pair
See “Linked modules” on page 60 for details of 
linked modules.
The balance controls in for linked modules are all on 
the bottom row of the 
MODULE screen. Move the cur-
sor to the bottom row and use the PODs to change 
these parameters.
In the case of a stereo linked pair of modules, the

7 – Module operations—Dynamics screen
 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 53
Dynamics screen
In this screen, the dynamics processor functions of 
the modules can be controlled. There are three differ-
ent types of dynamics processor that can be assigned: 
noise gates, expanders and compressors.
NOTE
Gate and expander settings may not be made for input 
modules 17 through 32, as shown here. 
Particular settings for these processors are stored in 
the DM-24 libraries and are recalled as necessary.
See “Library...

7 – Module operations—EQ

EQ
The principles of the EQ interface using the encoders 
are also explained in the section on “User interface” 
on page 12.
Briefly, when the module is selected, and the EQ 
screen is visible, the rotary encoders and PODs can 
be used to set up to four parameters of the selected 
EQ bands (gain, frequency, Q and type).
The EQ band to be edited in this way is selected 
using the 
EQUALIZER keys G. The LEDs surround-
ing the encoders show the...

Low-mid band The low-mid band can be set as 
either a peaking or a notch filter.Low band The low band can be set as either a 
shelving (low shelf), peaking, or HPF type.
EQ library
Commonly-used EQ settings can be stored into and 
recalled from the library. Full details of the library 
operation are given in “Library functions” on 
page 99, but briefly, moving the cursor to the on-
screen 
EQ LIB button above the high band and press-
ing...

If they are not linked, a screen similar to the follow-
ing appears:
Using the cursor keys to move a cursor consisting of 
a box highlighting four on-screen controls around the 
screen. Alternatively, press the 
SEL key for a given 
channel to jump the cursor to the appropriate position 
on the screen. 
The four controls correspond to the four PODs. If 
two channels are linked (as with channels 9&10 and 
11&12 on this screen), only PODs 1...

7 – Module operations—Setup screen
 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 57
NOTE
The appropriate preference must be set for the SEL 
keys to be used in this way (“ST Link by SEL key” on 
page 21).
Instead of four screens shared between the two sepa-
rate aux sends, as described above, there are now 
three screens for the pair, as follows:
The linked level control screen is the same as for the 
mono (separate aux screens). Setup and copy facili-
ties are available in this screen for global setups.Note the 
AUX...

32 have slightly different screens, reflecting the dif-
ferent configuration:
Channels 17 through 32 have no gate available.
The aux 1-2 sends are more limited in the choice of 
their source points (no return available)
Channels 25 through 32 have no channel digital 
delay available.
The controls available on these screens (through the 
PODs or through the cursor keys and data dial) are:

7 – Module operations—Digital trim and delay (global)
 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 59
Channel delay is only possible on modules 1 through 
24. See also “Global digital delay” on page 59.Digital delay units (UNIT) Choose either sam-
ples (
SAMPLE) or milliseconds (ms) as the unit in 
which channel digital delay is measured.
See also “Global digital delay” on page 59.
Digital trim and delay (global)
Two dedicated screens allow the viewing and setting 
of the digital trim and delay parameters.

Unit Change the delay units between samples (SP) 
and milliseconds (
ms) using POD 3 at the bottom left 
of the screen.
Fader control At the top of the screen is a button 
which allows the faders to be used for setting the 
delay (as described in “Using the faders to change 
values” on page 14).
Setup A master delay setting can be applied to 
selected channels by moving the cursor to the bottom 
left position setting the desired value...
