How to Record Band Rehearsals and Live Gigs Without a Computer

Recording a band rehearsal or a live gig can seem overwhelming at times. Miking up every instrument and recording them simultaneously, using EQ and compression, mixing it all down...it's a lot of work! But, no need to fret - it's actually not that difficult! We'll show you how to get started, plus make the process fun and rewarding!

Love my model 24 ! I use it everydays.

Can you do one like this video using the model12.

I’m in a band and I’ll be getting one of these to record our practices. Can I run the sound myself, like do soundcheck and then record? Or will we need to get a sound guy to come in?

Just got my Tascam model 12 today, going to record our church praise band, Name some good SD cards, Subed.

These 'Model' mixers sound great Tascam. Just wondering, when using the Model 12 at a live gig, if you set up each track with whatever EQ and effects it needs to suit the live performance space, can you record each track dry and without EQ so that you can mix it later with different EQ and FX to suit an album? Hope that makes sense. Thanks if you can help!

Great mixer, I’m loving mine, the only complaint I have is that it doesn’t go up to 96k as an audio interface and there doesn’t seem to be much planned as far as firmware or software updates go. Kinda feels like Tascam has already moved on
