zZounds Gear Experts Say...

TASCAM's 24-channel analog-to-digital bridge! Connect an analog mixer to the Studio Bridge to record 24 tracks to SD Card, or run them into a DAW via USB.

Overview

From TASCAM's Model Series, the Studio Bridge is quite literally the bridge between analog mixers and digital recording devices, whether you use a DAW or prefer a DAWless setup. Preserve the lush analog tone from your mixing console while tracking and mixing to your DAW of choice or to the Studio Bridge's on-board multitrack recorder. Tracks recorded to the on-board recorder or your DAW can be returned to your analog console for mix summing, turning digital recordings into warm analog productions. Whether tracking at a personal recording studio or a live environment, the Studio Bridge handles all your needs with ease.
