Can I use my own mixer/tascam model 24?? If so does anyone have an opinion on which would sound better?? the t8s tonematch or my tascam model 24 mixer??... .what makes the tonematch mixer allegedly sound extra good as opposed to my own mixer??? Tonematch presets?? If the answer is the presets... I will say.. I use a 31 band eq on each channel which I love..basically my own custom presets.. so I can't understand how the tone match presets could sound better than what I already have personal customized EQ settings.???.so basically in this circumstance is it better to use my tascam model 24 mixer or get a tone match mixer....???
I don't own the mixer you mentioned, so I can't say exactly which one would sound better. You can use your own mixer. But the t1/t4/t8 has been designed specifically for the L1's. The presets will in theory help someone to quickly get a great EQ for specific instruments/mics. Does it mean these can't be achieved with another mixer? No I don't believe it does. I would image that someone that has a keen ear and the know how to get the most out of a good mixer could achieve the same.
Personally, with myt4, I love the size, the quicket set up(no power cable needs), and the ability to start with a scene that has everything already eq'd.
I like the vocal effects I can add.
