Tascam Studiobridge 24-Track Audio Recorder for Vintage Mixing Consoles

Description

Standalone recording without a computer

With the StudioBridge, you don’t need a computer to record high-quality audio. This standalone unit allows you to capture up to 24 simultaneous tracks directly from your analogue mixing console, making it ideal for both studio and live environments. The ability to record stereo mixes and export them as WAV files simplifies your workflow for fast, release-ready productions. And with punch-in/out support, recording sessions are smooth and efficient, even when you’re tracking complex performances. Everything is stored on SD cards up to 512GB, offering plenty of space for extended projects without the need for external storage devices or a laptop.

Seamless DAW integration

The StudioBridge functions as a 24-in/24-out audio interface, letting you connect your analogue gear to your favourite DAW. If you’re recording individual tracks or mixing through your console, this interface ensures every detail of your analogue sound is captured and preserved. You can also return audio from your DAW to the mixing console, giving you the option to sum your mixes through your outboard gear for that unmistakable warmth and character.

With integrated DAW transport controls, you can manage playback, recording, and track selection without touching your computer, streamlining your workflow so you can focus on the music.

Enhanced MIDI synchronisation

The StudioBridge offers built-in MIDI connectivity, giving you the ability to sync and control external drum machines, sequencers, and synths. Whether you’re working with vintage hardware or modern digital devices, the MIDI in/out ports allow seamless integration into your setup, so you can combine your favourite analogue and digital gear effortlessly.

Syncing your gear for live performances or in the studio has never been easier. The StudioBridge ensures that all your equipment runs in perfect harmony, enhancing your production process and unlocking new creative possibilities.

Compact and rack-mountable

Designed for ease of use and versatility, the StudioBridge is housed in a rack-mountable chassis, making it a perfect fit for professional studios or mobile setups. Its front panel features local monitoring options, giving you instant access to input and track signals through a dedicated headphone output. The built-in metronome also helps keep performers in time during recording sessions, and with its robust connectivity, you can solo any of the 24 inputs for precise monitoring. Additionally, footswitch inputs allow hands-free control over important functions like tempo and transport, further enhancing its live and studio usability.
