Manufacturer's Description for Tascam DM4800 Digital Mixer

The Tascam DM-4800 is the ultimate digital console for professional users who demand a flexible, 64-channel mix platform that configures to fit their needs. A "fat channel" strip in the center of the board provides instant access to 4-band parametric EQ, dynamics and aux controls available for the first 48 channels. Twenty-four studio-grade mic preamps provide enough inputs for a live event, and more can be added using expansion cards with external preamps. The standard compliment of analog and digital I/O is more than you'll find on consoles costing three times as much, and a completely confi gurable 24-buss routing system allows you to re-patch the board at the flick of a switch.

Tascam's DM-4800 fits seamlessly into the modern recording environment based around a computer DAW. With a single button press, the Remote layer provides a 24-fader control surface for control of premiere workstations such as Pro Tools, Logic, SONAR, DP, Cubase and Nuendo. The optional IF-FW/DM mkII interface card provides 32 channels to and from a computer at up to 96kHz over a single FireWire cable. And the optional surround monitoring card provides downmixing, bass management and level control for mixing in up to 6.1 surround. No matter what your application, the TASCAM DM-4800 adapts to the needs of any professional audio installation.

"The Best Value for a Digital Mixer"
Sound: It has a very open and polished sound. It is great for fine tuning and crafting complex mixes. It easily interfaces with my sequencer software and the firewire card works flawlessly. My mixes are sounding better than ever. Feature: The onboard TC reverbs sound beautiful and can be tweaked to fit specific mixes. The firewire card is great! 32 ins and outs to my DAW. The remote layer allows 24 faders linked to the virtual faders in my DAW. The compressors sound very good. I'm not sure why one of the other reviewers was complaining about distortion. To me the comps sound punchy and clear. (If set properly) The routing capabilities are quite staggering once you figure out how to assign them. I wish there was an input for typing in names. The text entry is a bit awkward. Ease of Use: For me, it was pretty hard to figure out. The user interface is not very intuitive. Once you get it, things become easier. The manual is O.K. but the product is so deep, I think it is hard to explain everything. Some sort of video or tutorial would be helpful. Quality: The mixer seems very well made. Solid construction and good quality faders and knobs. Very pretty looking too. Value: The value is undeniable. No other digital mixer even comes close. At twice the price, the Yamaha 02R doesn't have touch sensitive faders. This thing is a bargain. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed support. The Wow Factor: It is a real beauty. It makes my studio look more "pro". It has taken my mixes to a whole new level. Overall: I wish it had 76 channels. I wish all of the channels were full-featured. That being said, it is really working well for me. The 96k capability and firewire card give it long legs to stand on. I don't anticipate needing to upgrade for a while.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "All in all for the money it is a great console, but if it were any more money it almost be incomparable to the Mackie TT-24 or t"
Sound: For a lower end console the sound is amazing. I ran mine side by side against a Digico D5 and the sound quality was almost as good. I can't say it was just as good because it wasn't, but it was very very comparable. But for $70,000 cheaper it kept up pretty good. Feature: There are a few things I wish it had. Light sockets, automated gain controls, 30 or 31 band geq's on the outputs. Yamaha's virtual rack is what puts this console to shame. Ease of Use: It is very simple to navigate. I have worked with some techs on it and by the end of the show they are pretty comfortable with it. Quality: So far so good. I have it in the truck all the time and use it about every weekend and have had little to no problems with it. I even spilled a beer on it by accident once and it was a little termpermental for a while but the show the next day it worked perfect again. I anticipate it will last for quite some time. Value: For what you get it is well worth the money. Manufacturer Support: Tascam support is great. The Wow Factor: It is not bad looking. I would ditch the wood, put a touch screen on it and put a meter bridge on the unit itself Overall: The lack of certain key things will decide that. The Virtual rack, computer interface, extra monitor port, more auxes, matrix mixing, and few other things that the Yamaha LS9 has would make the Tascam a more desired live console.
Style of Music: all genres but prefer rock
