Tascam US-224 owner manual Mixdown

When the corresponding LED is illuminated, channel strips 1 and 2 can be used to adjust the level, pan and mute status of inputs A and B, respectively. This will enable the first two faders as Input level monitors, allowing you to hear the inputs at the source, in sync with the previously recorded tracks.

7.4 Mixdown

You can control the mix of the channels you’ve recorded via the US-224. Make certain you’ve got the correct bank selected

-the small on-screen window that indicates “VST Mixer 1-8”, or “CTM Mixer 1-8” or “GM Mixer 9-16” is your best indication of the currently selected bank. The LEDs next to the BANK buttons on the US-224 also indicate the selected bank:

VST Mixer 1-4	=	￿ only
VST Mixer 5-8	=	￿ only
CTM Mixer 1-4	=	￿ only
CTM Mixer 5-8 =		￿ only
CTM Mixer 9-12	=	￿ only
CTM Mixer 13-16 =		￿ only

You can change the level of a track by adjusting its corresponding fader on the US- 224 control surface. To adjust other parameters on a particular channel, first press the SELECT key for that channel on the US-224. The selected channel will be highlighted below that channel’s fader on the screen.

Moving the channel fader on the US-224 will adjust the relative volume of the selected channel in Cubasis. The corresponding fader on screen will update as you move the US-224’s fader.

The PAN function on the US-224 will pan the selected channel from Left to Right on the stereo buss. To activate the PAN control, press and hold the SELect switch for the desired channel and then turn the DATA Wheel in the desired direction.

Once your tracks are recorded, mixing can be automated on Cubasis’ internal mixer. By

selecting Write on the mixer panel in Cubasis, your fader moves panning, etc., (as well as EQ, FX settings and other changes) can all be recorded into Cubasis’ automated mixer settings. To play back the automated mix, select Read on the mixer panel. (You can play back existing mix moves while continuing to update your mix by selecting both Read and Write.)

For more detail on Cubasis’ mixdown procedure, refer to the Cubasis manual.
