Description
Docs
Now you can use your mouse for what it's good at and use a control surface for what it's good at: hands-on mixing with lots of real faders, knobs & buttons. The TASCAM US-2400 is the first DAW fader controller with enough faders to handle a typical recording session - and feel like a real mixing console - without lots of bank switching.
The US-2400 features 25 touch-sensitive moving channel faders and a touch-sensitive motorized master fader,each with 10-bit resolution for precise level control.Each channel has dedicated select, solo and mute controls. Twenty-four rotary encoders are provided, selectable to control pan or up to 8 aux sends. Plus, all 24 encoders can also be employed as one large channel strip for four-band EQ, aux and pan control. Each encoder has a ring of LEDs that can display the current setting or double as channel meters during recording and playback. A set of solid-feeling transport buttons are also provided, as well as a shuttle wheel and a joystick for surround panning.
Compare it to any other controller on the market today (and the extra expanders you'd have to buy to get 24 motorized faders) and you'll discover that the US-2400 gives you more control for the money.

Tascam US2400 USB Moving Fader Controller Reviews
10 out of 10

"** Great board at a great price **"
Feature:
It has worked flawlessly with the new Update. I have used it with Protools Le 6.4, Nuendo 2.2 and Cubase Sx 3. Each of them works perfectly now that they updated all the quirks. It has made mixing much more professional and I have impressed tons of clients and friends.
Quality:
I'd say everything is great about this product except for the cheap feel of the jog wheel. For the price I would hardly say this is an issue. The faders have a very smooth feel and could be a bit more weighted. Again, I'm not complaining for the $1050 I paid after rebate.
Value:
Just try finding something with this many faders for the price. The fact that it works as well in Cubase Sx 3 as it does in ProTools should be the selling point. It switches in two key clicks and makes mixing fun again.
Desirability:
I have it, but sure I'd want another one if I had a studio B room.
Sound:
Had to put some number in here. Why not a 10?
Support:
Don't know yet. Hope I don't have to find out.
Overall:
I would say the complaints prior to the last update were genuine. However, now that it is tweaked it is by far the best for the price. It was worth every penny. Especially for its versatility and soft LCD. Get this if you are tired of clicking your life away on automation.

"Might be good, or not!"
Feature:
The Us-2400 didnt do what i expected and have software integration lack. I use Sonar 3 on a Pc, i knew after buying it that : 1- touch sensitive fader dont work, 2- the SEL button dont work at all, 3- cannot work on Eq, 3- the combination of F-KEY and SEL in order to put a track in Record mode dont work as well, 4- the Meter dont work as well, as Sonar do no support it, 5- the bank indicator do not work (remember 8 bank of 24 faders), so you might get lost after a while if working on big project... and so on, all the interesting extra feature they show work for many of them in Native mode. In order to use it in Sonar, you must put the unit in Mackie Control protocole emulation, loosing the most interesting feature. So what you got left? The fader, the pan and Aux send. Thats it, thats all. Deception... But it do the job if youre looking for a straightfoward 24 fader control surface. But you might want a little more features.
Quality:
Its a well built unit, and dont have the sensation of a cheap unit. The fader are great, silent when moving and most of all, it is Solid, like the entire unit.
Value:
for a 24 fader surface control, it's a bang for the buck. the quality is good for the price.
Sound:
no matter heres, its simply a control surface...!
Support:
didnt know
Overall:
depending on why you want this unit, inform you well before buying it. You might be pissed off. For myself, i've own this unit 4 day, then return it back to take a Mackie Control Surface, wich is really more integrated in software then the Tascam US-2400 can dream about. Read well all the info and manual available on the Tascam website, it might be a good unit for you, this time was not for me.
