DJ,
The DM-2000 is thee ultimate Mixer/Controller ..we are talking 96 channels
@96k with full eq &dynamics on every channel. Front ends Cubase/Neundo, PT,
Sonar, Logic ...very very well..
The on-board (24) mic pres are sweet. Very usable. Then there's the 8 SPX-1000'!!!
Yikes..Yes 8 of them..As well as, six (6) 31 band eqs..
Killer routing. Big, wide, open sound.. Even a Firewire (M-Lan) options..AND,
to think you can cascade 2 or more of these beast.
Yes, I use the DM when working at my buddies studio. Just amazing!! He has
a spare one, that he's holding for me. That will be my (home) studio front
end to Neundo & Pro Tools and even Paris..
Get it ..if you can..

Lots of preamps that I don't need (that's the case with the Yammy as well).
I wonder if this has the Studio Manager style hardware that the DM2000 has.
The one major kludge in Cubase is the cue mixing. It's not a deal breaker,
but unless/until ADM is implemented in the Control Room section, it's pretty
worthless without a monster computer to run Cubase at the lowest possible
latency. I could build a dual socket Intel Xeon quad core for around
$2500.00. That would probably be money better spent.

At this point DJ, by adding a mixer like a Dm2000 which has built talk back
and Major Cue functions your days of using Cubase's cue functions..
Having a Mixer with your DAW is Major update..The pres are in the Grace preamp
901 range. We prefer them then when recording Bass and guitars...They are
Clean, but with debt and character.

The DM 2000 mic pre's are in a different league than the 02R96. And withthe
Version 2 software upgrade, you get vintage neve EQs, UAD 1176 & LA2a comps
and an Tape saturator plugins. They sound wonderful..
But, like James M stated, the Tascam for around 5k is a a nice mixer as well,
and sounds good..

And the DM2000 can act as the control surface for all the major DAW's?

The DM2K has several built-in remote layer protocols...
Nuendo, Cubase SX, Protools and "Generic DAW". The tight
integration with NU/CU will never be as good with other
DAW's because of the Studio Manager software for the Yamaha
consoles that is built into the Steinberg software:
http://www.studioconnections.org/
This joint venture between Steinberg and Yamaha is one of
the reasons that Yamaha ended up buying Steinberg...
The ProTools layer (I haven't tried it yet) is supposed to
be quite close to the level of control offered by the Steiny
software, but with out the total recall capability. For
that to happen you would have to install the stand-alone
version of Studio Manager on the host platform and manage
the console settings separately.
The generic layers still offer lots of control, but the real
beauty is in the routing, cue mixing, processing, monitoring
etc.

The Tascam DM-3200 and DM 4800 does also. The Tascam will give you 32 ins
and 32 outs at up to 24bit 96K to your computer with the FireWire interface
card. That's one cable connected to your computer! You can cascade/expand
the system with a second mixer, that's 50 touch-sensitive motorized faders
of daw control, plus the Channel Strip and all the encoders. Check out the
video!
It serves as your audio interface, DAW controller/transport control, mixer,
cue system, TC Reverbs, 4-band EQ, compression and gating on each channel,
mic pres, inserts and line inputs per ch., with total flexible routing.
It's a powerful piece of equipment that can replace a lot of pieces of equipment.
You can get a new Tascam DM-3200 for under $2500.00, and a new DM 4800 for
under 4K. I think the price is hard to beat!

I'll plug Mike Ofca again. If you want to see, and hear the DM 3200, it's
in the back ground of Mike's video. Check it out.

While I have NOT tried the newer crop of mic pre's, I have to say that
Tascams line amps and mic pre's were traditionally quite weak (ie
2500, 3500, 3700 consoles)..

I've heard that they are decent, but I don't have first hand experience with
them. I know that the original DM-24 did not have the head room the new
ones do. For a while Tascam offered an mic pre upgrade for the DM-24. The
DM-32 and DM-48 are supposed to be greatly improved. The only way for you
to really know is to go listen to them yourself.
I believe some guy's here are using the Tascam control surfaces and I thought
they said they liked the mic pres on those. I don't know that they are the
same though.
You could try emailing Mike Ofca for an opinion. You could also go on the
the Tascam news group and see what people have to say. There are also reviews
online for the DM-3200. Mic pres are subjective so your back to your ears.
Mike's studio page has his contacts if you want to email him: http://www.innovationstudios.net/
Tascam forums

At $4k for their big console as James describes, I donm't think
I'd do it... for a few "k" more you can dig up an old 24 or
36 channel Trident Series 24 somewhere. No automation, no DAW
control, but they sound f-ing great and your potenital clientele
won't be likely to think: "ewww, I'm going to record through a
TASCAM???"

Tascam always amazes me at what they miss... take the *NEW* 48 track
for instance:

Hi,
I was just at the NSCA trade show and got about 15 contractor types
lined up for ADK machines because of the Tascam X-48 some had paid in
full of put deposits down on unit close to 2 years now. ha
Tascam wasn't even there at the show. not a good sign sense that is a
huge part of their market at this point.

Yes, the name isn't top shelf.
That is the problem with the biz. So you aren't shit unless you got an SSL
and a full blown ProTools system. I guess it depends on what you want to
do. A lot comes down to engineering skills.
Right now nothing in the market does what the Tascam does for the money.
I think it should be listened to first before it's completely dismissed.
I'm sure you can get some good work done on the Tascam. For any thing critical,
most would use an out board mic pre. With the Tascam, you could save a lot
of money to buy high end mic pres.
There are still guys running studios with Mackies and Adats that are making
money. I wouldn't do it but we are all on different levels.

There is one company spiraling out of control if ever I saw one...
They showed at NAMM, but not a working unit.

Did I say an SSL? No, I suggested an older lower-range Trident;
it's going to sound a fuckload better from input to mixdown than,
any Tascam I've ever heard AND it's got a name people recognize
as being top-shelf.

1.) You really don't "need" a console these days - what, with
most people preferring to mix & match external mic pres &
channel strips anyway.
2.) If you DO get a console, it then becomes the focus of your
room, and your rack of massenburg, neve, and API preamps takes
an immediate back seat; and because lots of clients are brand-
aware, you'd better make it a good desk, otherwise you may find
your "investment" may actually cost you gigs.

Yo, Mr Isallimsayin makes a good point here -- that a "console becomes
the focus of your room" is undeniably true. And the
brand-consciousness of the average Studio User is therefore likely to
undermine the joy of parking a "Yamaha DM-anything"" in the middle of
ones little World of Sound.
Which ain't to say that this console isn't a worthy piece of gear --
just that it lacks mojo.
Then again, this neo-Neve thing they're rolling out at $30k for 16
channels is an example of the opposite extreme -- jacking up the price
of something on account of whose name is tattooed on the side...
-- okay, I'll shut up now and let people who know more talk -- chas.

The SSL PT thing was a figure of speech, well maybe not. I have had people
actually say this many times. I guess my point is, it depends on what level
your on, and what you charge. I'm sure some people would not pay to record
in a Tascam room. I'm sure there are people that wouldn't record in Steinberg/RME
room either.
There is no substitute for good equipment. I just think you can get professional
results with some less expensive equipment. I think it's best to become
educated about a product and listen to it before writing it off because of
it's name. The mixes I'm heard from the Tascam do sound good. I'd like
to get some time in on one myself, but My Panasonic DA-7 MKII works for me
right now.
If you go back and look at my lust list, I have the Toft ADB, and the Neve
5088 listed. The Neve is an example of a different level.
It is my opinion that there is still a place in the studio for a mixer.
The whole ITB thing is over rated, with maybe the exception of Paris.

In my biz, I would not loose a client over these issues. They don't know what
neumann is, or pro tools, or any of that stuff and they don't really care.
They just want the jingle I produce to bring them more business. As far as
the bands, if you have a neumann in the studio and pro tools L.E. They usually
just say "Oh! you have pro tools and neumann mics... cool, I heard of them"

True, in that sector of biz - jingle & ad agency clients - no
one cares about gear, they care about end product... let's face
it, though - most musicians are not that way... it's the reason
an Epiphone Les Paul Standard plays just as good and has just as
good of workmanship as a Gibson Les Paul Standard, but costs
about a fourth as much... Gibson is the aspiration brand, Epi
isn't.
So, yes, musicians care about the sound quality of the product
(sometimes LOL), but they also are more susceptible to being
brand-sensitive. Like I've said before, if you've got the
engineering chops, you can do a damn good recording with a
bunch of SM-57's & a Peavey console, but that isn't the point...
the point is this: if you choose to go with a console, it's not
just a sonic tool, it becomes the trademark of your studio.
Think about it... what do most people "oooh & ahh" about when
they walk into a room for the first time? Is it your $40k's
worth of vintage mic pres & compressors? No, it's the effen
console!
The console helps sell your studio, bottom line. Or, it can in
fact, hinder that process. And there's more to what I'm saying
than just the "brand hype" factor - Consider the fact that if
you convert from being a rack-based studio (with different
flavors of stand-alone mics pres, etc) to a console-based
one, then a lot of the time you end up with EVERYTHING running
through that console... your cues, your playback, your mix outs
to the Alesis Masterlink (or whatever you're using), that kick
drum going through the Neve-alike mic pre that you wouldn't
have EQ'ed before you had the desk, but now you have it so
you'll patch into channel 22's line-in & boost a little 4k
before you hit the convertors.
IOW, it really DOES become your sonic signature, so you may as
well get a damn good one that not only sounds great from
input to playback, but will also earn it's keep by helping to
bring you business even when it's just sitting there looking
impressive, flying it's brand flag for the potential clients
coming by to see the place.
Otherwise if you've got killer mic pres & outboard in sufficient
enough quantities to get the jobs done, you're probably better
off getting a small, inexpensive mixer just for monitoring &
keeping if off to the side so it's not the centerpiece.

Neil, You hit the nail on the head in describing my situation. It isn't real
often my client comes to the studio but when they do, the first thing that
happens is they see a 10 ft console and there's a gasp and then they all
say the same thing as if they all belong to a club and were told at the last
meeting to say "Man, look at all them buttons, what do you do with all that?"
half the stuff in the console I rarely use anymore, but who wants to have
a big square hole in there console?
