Do you remember reading about the headroom issue that was noticed from after V.1.6 back in the days of the Tascam forums? I remember seeing you there a bit.
Anyway, have you ever taken the time to actually check how big of a issue that really is?
Did you notice your DM24 clipping or distorting while your DAW doesn't?
And, do you usually print your mixes out of the Tascam or out of the DAW?
Also.......Nice to see you here and in other forums
Thank you.

Renzo, sorry to take so long to respond, I'e been really busy lately and lost track of this thread.
I miss the Tascam forums, and I think they made a big mistake by discontinuing them. If they had given us warning we could have at least saved the threads that had the good advice in them. As it is, all that knowledge is now lost.
Regarding the headroom issue, I really haven't had a problem with it. The only time I've come up against clipping is when my brother sends me tracks that he has recorded very hot. As in multiple tracks going up to zero. I cna play those back in DP without clipping, but they will clip the DM-24. But in my opinion they probably *should* clip the DM-24.
As I remember, most DM-24 users who were complaing about the clipping were also the ones using the new routing of version 2. So in addition to the 32 channels and assignable inputs going to the mix buss, they were also adding to that the digital inputs and all 16 mic/line inputs. It gets to the point where you wonder is there something with the board, or are people simply pushing it too hard and then blaming the board.
As I mentioned, the only time the board has clipped for me is when I've seriously pushed it with too hot of a signal.
