Tascam DM 24- yeah or nay?

The lines across the screen, that's common. As to the price worst case you have doubled your inputs (well, 10-more) by using ADAT and the SPDIF built-in to your 002, you have upgraded the converters a bit, you've added a control surface, and you have a nice mixer for what it is. The pres are, well nothing great nor do they have a lot of gain. But for that price, why not! And if you don't like it, turn around here and sell it for $600!

I've had a Yamaha 01v96 for a long time. While researching that purchase, I noticed the buzz on the DM 24 was not good, to put it mildly. The 01v96 only has 12 mic preamps, and I don't think you're going to find one for $400, but it's a much better board - and still in production (I think.)

I'm wondering how you're going to replace your 002. If you're using it with PTLE, aren't you stuck with it?

The DM24, while clean sounding, was one of the worst pieces of gear to ever grace our studio. We got rid of it after two weeks of canceled sessions and freeze ups.
