First off, hello everyone! I hope you all are happy and healthy today. I am considering buying the tascam model 12 but first i was hoping a few people could answer some questions i have. I do a mix of online streaming, and music production so im trying to find a ''do all'' mixer. One thing i need is multi tracking in windows its self. So i can take input 1 (my main mic) and use that on OBS streaming software, then use input 2,3,4 or whatever in my daw. A stereo only input wont work for me since if im streaming, People would hear the dry DI track of the guitar while im recording a processed track. Can the tascam model 12 split channels in windows like this?
Also, I was wondering if this has USB return? As in the complete windows sounds all coming in to a channel return? I read somewhere channel 1/2 is the USB return and thats ok, but I guess what i mean is, Will the audio from my daw, and the whole windows OS (discord, chrome, OBS, and my daw) all come in on the usb return? And can i set the channel i want the return on? Id really like to be able to EQ the return (typical V curve for hearing back how my finalized mixes would sound, plus for normal media enjoyment)
And lastly. Is the USB inputs on each track (if they are split up like id prefer in windows) Is the USB out, post eq? or pre eq? For example if i want to EQ my mic on the board for OBS, Will it actually work? My current mixer is USB out PRE eq, so any changes i make on eq dont even matter, it makes no tonal difference, Im hoping the tascam isnt like that.
Id like to avoid all external software like voice meter or any other routing software, If this mixer doesnt do these things without that i will probably just look somewhere else. Thanks for anyone who reads this and gets back to me!
