Tascam DP01 All-In-One Recording Package Microphone - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Page 3 of the manual says it does. Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. https://tascam.com/downloads/tascam/4/E_2488neo_web.pdf The unit is discontinued which is never a good sign. https://tascam.com/us/product/2488neo/feature .

Usually an indication of bad sectors on the hard drive. This can be caused by bumping the unit when it is running, excessive vibration, a power failure while it is on, improper shutdown, or expoure to a strong magnetic field like having a subwoofer too close or an intermittent faulty power supply.

Your options are to return the unit (if it is still under warranty), or if not to open up the DP-01, remove the hard drive, connect it to a PC and perform a low level format (or take the drive to your nearest PC repair shop and have them reformat it).

Unfortunately you'll lose any data that wasn't backed up, but this should bring back your DP-01.

Audacity

I/O is are the Set In (the start of the recording) and Set Out (the end of the recording). You must set these marks to master the recorded material. If you look you will see the "Set In" and "set out" buttons. YOU MUST DO THIS. If the I/O are not set you are basically try to master Nothing 0.0-0.0secs. So Set your In at the start, and Set your Out at the end of the recording. You must do this. Do not touch the Out until your recording is complete.

You can use the track edit functions to mark the beginning and end of a song to cut or copy and then insert the song onto its own track(s). (If it's in stereo you'd have it recorded on two tracks).

Or you could consider just exporting the whole track(s) via USB (or using the SF card) onto a PC for editing with the program of your choice.

Hi,

I don't use my Tascam to create CDs for exactly the reasons you are asking about. I do a bounce mix to a couple of tracks and then export via usb to a PC for finalizing and CD creation there.

To answer your questions, you do always need to create a master first for each sermon on the DP-02 before you can burn it to a CD. You also have to finalize the CD to play it on other players.

Mastering as well occurs in real time, so it does take 60 minutes to create a master for a 60 minute recording.

As I don't burn from my Tascam, I didn't realize the burn time was so long though. I would have expected that to be faster for sure. I know my old 2488 MkI is supposed to burn at 4x and I believe the MkII burns at 8x. The DP-02 is newer than both and I would assume it would burn even faster.

Anyway, as I said you might wish to go the PC route. That way you can export the tracks without having to master them and burn them from the PC to CD at up to 40x (depending on the speed of your PC's burner).

Hope this helps.

Phantom power should only be used with a condenser/ribbon mic. If you're using a dynamic mic (like the one in the photo) you don't need phantom power. Also I run my mics and instruments through a mixer, then into the unit. Also if you're mixing your masters at a low volume, the CD will play at a lower volume. Try mastering at as high a volume as possible, avoid clipping of course. But get it as loud as possible while mastering. Then the master copy should be louder. I have a DP02 and found out it needs decent monitors to mix and master. That's all I've got.

I've done this a number of times. Stop plugging your headphones into the footswich jack and plug them into the headphone jack. That's the red one. It would help if the headphone jack was the one on the end, or the footswitch was in the back, but as it is, you just have to become aware of what this sounds like. Have a great day.

Digest the book. We can't answer every question in real time and THERE WILL BE MORE QUESTIONS.

If you get the book in an electronic form you can search it faster.

Search the web for "tascam dp-01fx driver" and many other questions you may have.

Press and hold down the "track edit" and the "shut down" buttons while turning the power on until it says "-init screen- please wait". It will ask you if you want to initialize hdd. If so press yes/enter. This Will wipe your hard drive clean. If no just press no/exit. This works on the dp-01fx. It should work on the dp-01 as well.

Multiple Tracks? Yes. See this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx3wH_oZjQM. The manual is available at

use a mike mixer that has more thatn 3 inputs and 1 output make sure the one output matches your recorder

I would say it can... strange though that the new supply would harm it. As long as the voltage is correct having a bigger supply should not be an issue. Something to check, is the plug that plugs into the unit the orrect polarity. diffent manufactures make the center pin (+) others make it (-). Most Engineers (being one myself) try and make any connection the end user can normally get to protected against these types of problems.

using a power supply rated for more current in itself should not cause a problem because the device determines how much current it needs.... make sure of the polarity and also that it is a 12V DC supply you are using.

Peace,

I have a Tascam DP-01fx/cd that after powering on it reads sreset error :12 please power off. How do I fix this so I can use the machine again?

Im having exactly the same problem as you have/had..I cant Export the Master Track..It says "Too Big", have you been able to solve it?

Best Wishes
Steve

The Tascam DP01 does not have a cd drive. The DP02 and DP03 models do.

Hello
Your Tascam porta sudio from Teac, won't go bad. You haven't specifed here about the purchase, whether you have purchased it new or on other ways. Anyway, this set is capable of displaying possible faults to indicate us; what about fault condition it faces during operation. It will be displayed at its screen. Please indicate me, what it display when you try to operate it. OK.

Alternatively you could load your stereo instrumental track into a wav editor, then export each stereo track as a separate mono wav file which you can transfer via usb into you DP-01 and then on you DP-01 import those wav files into two separate tracks which you can pan hard left and hard right so they are in stereo.

same manual just the spanish side.
