Individual Channel Monitoring in Reaper

[Butu]

Dear all, I am new to the forum, and I bought a Tascam Model 12 to use with my daily basis to replace my old one. I have no words to express how happy I am with mine. I am facing one issue that I am not exactly sure how to address.

I was able to connect on Reaper and use the Daw Mode. (tutorials was a great help). But I am having some hard time to do one thing, and I really appreciate a hint on this,

I am not able to see the individual channels on Reaper. Even with the DAW Mode deactivated, I am still not able to see more than the channels 1 and 2 individually on Reaper.

Is that any tutorial (sorry if I did not see it) about how to setup and be able to monitor the individual channels on Reaper? The picture 2 shows the input in 1 and 6 of Tascam, but Reaper shows the input only on number 2 (Picture 1).

Thank you

Welcome @Butu, check if menu option System > USB Audio > PC <- (To PC) is set to Mix and change it to Multi. Tascam channel on Youtube has plenty of tutorials.

Hey @Max Relic, THank you. I went to System > USB Audio > and I have the option Multi and there is PC <- Multi. Still not working

Firmware is the 1.42 and I am running Windows

Hello @Butu, I don't use Reaper but since all DAWs work on the same principles I guess you could take a look at tutorials about another DAW.

Hey Folks, Thank you all for the help. I did found out my issue. Attached is the Reaper Device Settings, I can not use the WaveOut, I have to use the ASIO and leave the settings exactly the way it shows up on this attached image. Now everything is working as it should. Thank you :-D

Hi @Butu, thanks for reporting your findings, it will help others in future.
IIRC I read something about ASIO drivers on the TASCAM Model 12/16/24/2400 Users FB group. Unfortunately being a Mac user and using my Model 12 always in standalone mode I'm afraid I couldn't help.

Hi @Butu - I've not used my M12 as an interface with Reaper (which is what you are doing), but I have with my Akai Force, and it works fine. But the settings on both machines have to be correct, as you're discovering.

I can see you are using the internal (PC) out for your monitoring/ headphones. That may work well for you, but you could also set Reaper to output to your M12, and then connect your speakers/ headphones to that instead. This means you can monitor (and mix) your live inputs through the M12 rather than through Reaper - software monitoring usually adds some latency, perhaps especially when using a non-ASIO output driver on the PC.

(You can set the M12 to re-route the DAW output to channels 9/10 rather than 1/2 if you don't want to lose those two independent inputs.)

Again, all this takes some fiddling with settings on both sides, but once you know how to do it, it's simple enough.

Also, Windows machines (which I think you're using) apparently don't tend to get on too well with different in/out interfaces (M12/internal in your case).
