Brooklyn, NY (April 28, 2022)—Brooklyn-based location sound recordist and musician Tom Tierney has been using Tascam’s Model 24 multi-track live recording console to handle projects both in the field and in his studio, Spaceman Sound.

“As a location sound recordist who is also a music producer, I am often asked to capture a band or performer in a new environment—sometimes with an audience,” Tierney says. “This requires a portable rig that offers great sound, reliability, quick setup, numerous inputs, backup recording, and ease of use. The Model 24 puts a rich set of features right at my fingertips, without the need for a bunch of external gear. It’s essentially a self-contained recording studio.
“When recording a live multi-track performance on-location, I use the Model 24 as an interface with my DAW, a mixer and as a linear recorder for backup,” Tierney continues. “The auxiliary inputs are used for monitoring, and I’m recording a live mix along with the isolated tracks. The fact that the Model 24 can handle all this makes it a joy to work with. The interface enables me to produce music in a non-linear workflow while the internal recorder lets me record constantly to the internal SD memory card to ensure I don’t miss anything. Further, the Model 24’s analog mixer enables me to make zero latency monitor mixes and rough mixes, which keeps the groove tight and my clients happy.”
