TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual

4 - Buss functions
As we mentioned briefly earlier, the busses of the
TM-D1000 can be switched internally into different
configurations, depending on the current needs of the
project.
These configurations may be stored in two conve-
nient main user modes; the recording and mixdown
modes (REC and MIX). These are shown by the
MODE
indicators to the left of the display screen.
When a change is made between the REC and MIX
modes, the settings of the mode from which the
change is being made (EQ settings, pan settings,
fader and aux send settings, etc., as well as the
Option settings for MODE, Effect and Setup) are
stored in memory. When the TM-D1000 is next
switched into this mode, these settings are then
recalled automatically.
This allows a fast change between two different set-
tings of the mixer for different purposes (e.g. if you
are in the middle of a mix session but decide to re-
record a track, changing from MIX to REC will
restore the last settings when the mixer was in MIX
mode.
Operating Tip
In these descriptions, we talk about the
“default” settings. These are the settings
made when the TM-D1000 leaves the factory.
If you want to return the TM-D1000 to these
default settings at any time, you should follow
the procedure described below.
1
While turning on the power to the TM-
D1000, press and hold down the
PARAM SEL
and
ENTER
keys.
The display will show:
2
Press the
ENTER
key:
3
Press the
ENTER
key once again, and all data
(including the snapshot memories, effect set-
tings, etc.) will be restored to the factory
settings.
This action cannot be undone. If you have second
thoughts about re-initializing all the data, press
the
ESCAPE
key instead of pressing the
ENTER
key for the second time.
4.1 Default REC mode
Used in recording, the default setting of the REC
mode uses the stereo with four group buss configura-
tion (see below).
The internal effect processors are set as mono
dynamics processors for channel processing. Chan-
nels may be assigned to any combination of: the ste-
reo buss, groups 1-2, and groups 3-4.
The L-R stereo buss is used as a monitor buss here–
the left and right channels of the stereo buss cannot
be routed to tape tracks. If an input channel is not
assigned to the L-R stereo buss, it will not appear in
the monitor mix when you have the
L-R MONITOR
SELECT
key pressed.
Operating Tip
When you are overdubbing with some previ-
ously recorded tracks, these tracks are routed
through input channels 9 through 16. If you do
not assign these tracks to the L-R stereo
buss, you will not be able to monitor them.
NOTE
The
PARAM SEL AUX
selection does not light
in this default mode (there are no aux send
busses selected).
4.2 Default MIX mode
The default MIX mode, as its name suggests, is used
in mixdown. In the default setting of the MIX mode,
all input channels (1 through 16) are assigned to the
stereo buss. Channels may not be assigned to any
group busses.
The default buss configuration (see below) is for the
stereo send and two mono sends. The internal effec-
