Monitoring Monitoring is important when recording and mastering. With this unit, monitoring is possible using an external monitor- ing system (powered monitor speakers or an amp and speakers) or using stereo headphones. Use the CONTROL ROOM and PHONES knobs to adjust the level of the monitoring system.TASCAM Model 24

5 – Basic recording SIG indicators and level meters The channel 1-12, 13/14-19/20 SIG indicators and level meters shown on the Meter Screen can be used to check the levels of this unit’s audio signals. The level meters are for visually checking signal levels and can also be used to check whether or not signals are being input to this unit. For example, even if nothing can be heard when monitoring, if the Meter Screen level meters are moving, signals are being input to this unit. The SIG indicators light green when signals (of at least −56 dB) are input through their channels. If a SIG indicator lights red, the input source signal is too loud or the GAIN knob is turned up too far. If the SIG indicator lights red even when the GAIN knob is turned all the way to the left, the input source signal is to loud. Lower its volume. Track level meters (1-12, 13/14-21/22) These show track playback signal or track input signal levels. Channels for which the MODE switch is set to “MTR” will show the following signal levels according to the operation status.

If an SD card is not loaded, this shows the sampling frequency set by the computer. 2 Buffer Size (Windows only) You can adjust the size of the buffer used to handle the audio input and output signals transferred to and from the com- puter. Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency), but require high-speed processing by the computer. If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur and the audio signal might even drop out. Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and sup- press negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in audio signals sent to the computer will increase. You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size for this unit according to the use conditions.
