Tascam Model 12 MPC Live 2 issue/question

this is in standalone mode
After watching andy on youtube i got a model 12 everything works great
only thing is when i go to record audio back into mpc via usb i only get audio from inputs 11,12 no sound comes from any other input
any idea why i can not get audio from inputs 1-10 that i have sounds routed to from the mpc to the model 12 then back into the audio input on mpc just like the video on youtube?

The channels can take in usb audio or output usb audio with mic/line input. they cannot do both at the same time if that is what you trying to do.

Don’t know if it helps , but I have a behringer 8 I/o interface connected to the USB port , also I have an behringer adat 8 I/o connected to that . The first one shows up as inputs 1-8 the second strangely shows up as inputs 11-18 , so I’m guessing your problem is related to what I describe.

The model 12 has a setting which either routes all audio to 11/12, i.e. the stereo 'mix' of all inputs (I assume this is the default), or allows you to access individual inputs (i.e. select input 5 as your MPC audio track input, and you'll hear the audio coming into the tascam channel 5) .

Can't remember the name of it, but it's in the settings, and there are not many settings so should be easy to find.

That because the digital SPDIF is 9-10. You know the inputs and outputs on the back of the unit are numbered and show you what is what?

I was wondering if anyone has use the Tascam 16 instead of the 12 of 24 with a mpc one/live/x and how was there experience. Looking for a mixer but would like more than the 12 can offer.

Thanks.

Hi,

I look in Model 12 Settings / System / USB Audio and setup to Multi.
The Displays shows aktiv PC Return Channels but its the same in the Akai Software aswell as in Controller or Standalone Mode. Input Channel 10, 11 works. Im test it in Ableton Live with the same Result.











Thx for help !

You fix the problem? Got the same issue !

I made a short video showing how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjPRst-RM_o

You don't need to watch it though. On any Tascam Model series: Menu > Mixer > MTR/USB Send Point

And select post-Comp or post-EQ to return audio to the MPC. I'm pretty sure MPC-Tutor also answered this somewhere already too.
