Welcome to tascamforums.com,
@Nunyabiz.
You've started your thread in the
Model 24/16/12 forum. These are essentially Front-of-House mixers with recording capability.
[DP-24SD]...step by step instructions on how to use vocal effects in real time...
There's a separate forum dedicated to the
2488, DP-24/32/SD Portastudios. In the sticky threads at the top of that forum, you'll find the
"Tutorial and Informational Videos For DP-32/24/32SD/24SD " sticky thread created by moderator Phil Tipping; "
The Definitive Summary of Effects" sticky thread, also by Phil Tipping; and the related "
Video Tutorials Discussion" sticky thread.
Phil has some videos at the start of the series (tutorial #3, #5 and #8, I think in the July 2021 index) that address using the portastudio as a basic 8-track mixer; and a video on using the Send Effects function. His videos and posts are very easy to follow (much more so than the owner manual), and will be a tremendous resource for you.
But I very strongly recommend starting in that forum with the "
Please Read This First" sticky thread that has absolutely essential information for using your portastudio.
At some point down the road after you've had some time with your DP-24SD, I recommend reviewing the indexes of the sticky threads dedicated to
"Equipment Tips"; and "
Production Tips".
Your DP-24SD is a great all-inclusive tool for music creation; and if you ever get stumped by a situation that the sticky threads or a forum search don't provide an answer for, we're happy to give it our best to help resolve.
