Tascam has released Version 1.40 firmware update for the Model 12 Integrated Production Suite, adding functions requested by end-users and improving flexibility and operation.
The Tascam Model 12 is a all-in-one integrated mixer designed for music and multimedia creators, songwriters and performers. A versatile workstation, it encompasses multitrack recording, a USB audio/Midi interface, DAW control and podcasting capability including mix-minus and smartphone inputs.
The Model 12’s v1.40 firmware update provides enhanced USB Return capability. With this update, the USB Return channels are now re-assignable. Users can choose either Inputs 1&2, 9 &10 or Main bus. Users who want to use the channel or live/MTR inputs on Inputs 1&2 while using the USB returns, can now simply assign the USB Returns to Inputs 9&10 or Main bus.
A further feature in the update is the Track Normalize function. Normalization is the process of applying a constant amount of gain to a recorded audio track and change the level. This is especially useful for tracks that have been recorded too low. The range of normalisation provided by the V1.40 update for recorded files extends from 0dB to -20dB in 0.1dB increments – enabling either subtle or more noticeable changes to the audio.
Another important addition in the v1.40 update is Gain Boost. With this update, each channel gain can be independently boosted +6 or +12dB for the analogue inputs providing the necessary adjustment for low-level inputs.
