Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a Tascam Model 12. I’ve read and watched a lot about its features, but there’s one thing I still can’t figure out. I’ve searched this forum but maybe I’m not using the correct keywords?

Question 1 : Is it possible to:
- send an audio signal from my MacBook (a track in Ableton Live)
- to the Tascam Model 12
- do some hardware pedal processing
- send the processed signal back into the Tascam Model 12
- then back to the computer (into a different track in Ableton Live)

The idea is to combine virtual instruments in Ableton with hardware pedals outside the computer and record the result back in Ableton.

Question 2 : Will this be done using the USB connection or the audio jack (or both)?

While I could simply route the MacBook output to my pedals and then back in the computer, I don't want to re-wire the thing manually every time. Using the Model 12 as a central hub would be perfect.

Thanks in advance for your help!
