Studio Bridge – 24-Track Audio Recorder / Audio & MIDI Interface

Digital Recording and Mixing with Analog Gear

The Studio Bridge multitrack recorder is literally the bridge between analog mixing and digital recording—whether or not you use a DAW. Preserve the rich analog tone from your mixing console while recording into your DAW of choice or directly into the Studio Bridge itself. Either way, channels can be routed back to your analog console for mix summing, turning digital recordings into warm analog productions.

Whether recording in a personal studio or live environment, the Tascam Studio Bridge serves as a link between your existing equipment, enhancing it with the latest recording technology.

24-Track Recording Without a Computer

Connect your analog mixer to the modular Studio Bridge recorder and easily record up to 24 audio channels—no computer required. You can even record the stereo mix to the recorder and export stereo WAV files ready for release.

DAW Transport Controller and Meter Bridge Software

The Studio Bridge also functions as a DAW transport controller. The Rec/Play/Stop and Rec Ready buttons connect directly to your DAW for convenient operation. The dedicated settings panel, available for Windows and macOS, includes a digital meter bridge to monitor the audio levels of each channel and the stereo master.

MIDI Synchronization for Your Sequencers

With MIDI input/output ports, your favorite drum machines, sequencers, synths, and controllers can be easily integrated into any production. Unlock your creativity with your analog gear and the Studio Bridge.

24-In/24-Out Audio/MIDI Interface for DAW

Tascam understands that you want authentic analog flavor in your DAW recordings—and we’re here to help. Your analog mixer can easily connect to your DAW using the Studio Bridge as a 24-in/24-out audio interface.

You can record directly into any DAW and even create a summed mix using your console and external gear with returns.

Live Recording Applications

In live settings, the Studio Bridge becomes your portable recording studio when connected to a mixing console. Just one device—no complex setup, no computer required.

Inputs/Outputs

With 24 inputs and 24 outputs via DB25 connectors, the Studio Bridge has more than enough capacity for recording and mixing larger productions. Plus, with no preamps onboard, you can maintain that bold, beautiful analog signal quality you’ve worked hard to create.

Local Monitoring

Monitor inputs and channels through the dedicated headphone/local monitoring section on the front panel of the Studio Bridge.

Solo Function

Quickly set any of the 24 inputs to ‘Solo’ by pressing Shift + REC on the corresponding channel. To check if any channels are soloed, a quick glance at the main section reveals the Solo indicator.
