The TASCAM DA-6400 64-Channel Digital Multitrack Recorderfrom TASCAM DA-6400 64-Channel Digital Multitrack Recorderis a 64-channel digital multitrack recorder/player that records to an internal SSD caddy for live and event recording. With I/O options like MADI and DANTE, it is ideal for live recordings, event capture, or to a backup for critical DAW sessions. In addition, the DA-6400 is a suitable option for professional remote recording.

Furthermore, the recorder/player features an AK-CC25 hot-swappable caddy containing a 240GB TASCAM solid-state drive, and the caddy includes a USB-3 jack for stand-alone use. This allows you to hand the drive to the client to offload the BWAV-files into their DAW session. The DA-6400 records 64 tracks at 48 kHz/24-bit or 32 tracks at 96 kHz/24-bit. Also, included on the rear panel are SMPTE timecode, word clock, RS-422, parallel, and Ethernet connections.

The I/O options for the DA-6400 include the IF-MA64/EX interface card (sold separately), with both coaxial and optical MADI connections. This card contains a redundant coaxial connection so that MADI is passed through even if power is lost, making it an ideal backup recorder for DAW sessions. Additional cards (sold separately) include the IF-MA64/BN coaxial MADI card, IF-DA64 Dante card, and IF-AE16 AES/EBU card, with more to come.

In conclusion, the TASCAM DA-6400 combines high performance, flexibility, and complete reliability in a solid-state 64-track recorder.

Q: 4. Purchased this mixer & so far so good. I primarily use it for video depositions, with 5 mic inputs. Does anyone know if it's possible to monitor the audio channel by channel?

A: There are no solo buttons on the Zoom LiveTrak L-8. But you could mute the other channels and just listen to the one you want.

A: Yes. Each channel shows up in your audio software as inputs for a total of 12 (1-6 Mono, 7-8 Stereo, 9-10 Stereo & Main Mix). It also has 4 USB outputs for playback. I use mine with Logic Pro X to track instruments & vocals on the go since the board is USB bus powered.. NOTE: You will have to download drivers for Windows and MacOS.
