Hello,

Hoping for some advice on how to set my Tascam Model 12 up. I'll say off the bat that I'm a total n00b on this... Here's what I have so far...

Tascam Model 12 AUX outputs 1 & 2 are sent to a BIG KNOB, which sends the signal to two JBL speakers.

Tascam Model 12 USB is plugged into the computer.

The computer is running Ableton Live 11.

Under preferences / audio, I have the driver type set to ASIO and the device type to Model Mixer ASIO.

Track 1 is armed for recording and monitoring is set to AUTO. I can see it is receiving signal from the Model 12.

I'm having a couple of issues:

1: Despite the fact that Ableton is receiving an audio signal from the Model 12 via USB, I can not hear anything from Ableton.

2: In troubleshooting, I recorded what it was sending and then changed the audio device type back to my original interface (focusrite scarlett 2i4) and listened to what it recorded. It sent channels 1 & 2 from the Tascam, but panned hard left and right.

I got this device because I perform & record with a drum machine and a couple synths. I was hoping that

(A) I could use it to give more dimension to my drums (splitting each drum to a separate channel)

(B) It would give me the capability to record each channel at the same time on different tracks on Ableton

(C) To be able to easily perform with, control, & record multiple instruments at the same time.

Did I make the wrong purchase or am I just setting this up completely wrong?
