Thanks for the info guys. I didn't pay anything for it, so there's
nothing to lose on that front!

That's a great deal, provided you have the space to set it up. Learn
what all the controls do, and make the best mixes you can with it.
When you start to hear hums and buzzes that you can't get rid of, or
brittle mic recordings that sound better when you borrow an outboard
mic preamp, or you have problems with operating levels when you try to
interface it with other equipment, then you'll know what to look for
when you replace your free console.

One thing that you should check before you get frustrated is that there
is a jumper between the ACCESS Send and Receive jacks on each
channel, or, as I did when I had a TASCAM Model 5, connected them
to a normalled pair of jacks on a patchbay. These are the equivalent
of the INSERT jack on a modern mixer. Without the Send connected
to the Receive (either directly or through an outboard device such
as a compressor or equalizer) you won't get a signal from the selected
input through the console. The original TASCAM setup had a U-shaped
wire jumperb etween the two jacks, but these may have become lost in
the shuffle.
