What kind of driver does my tascam dp 01 cd take.

I have the Tascam DP-02 it uses a fat 32 partition, Fat 32 partitions are pretty much obsolete replaced with the New Technology Filing System or N T F S for short. Using the DP-32 systems software try plugging the DP 32 in to your computer once the software for you new unit loads locate and open the fat 32 system folder I'm not sure if the DP 32 uses the same fat 32 partition, But if it does the fat 32 folder should be there, Locate and open it you should then be able to move or delete your recorded material as desired

Unfortunately no such driver is available, because tascam have discontinued that particular model.

Here is a way to get your recordings off the device

On the Tascam main menu, select "Wave." 2) On the Wave menu, select "Export Master." This saves your mastered song to the correct folder. 3) Connect the Tascam DP-01 to your computer. You will get a message telling you your USB device has malfunctioned. 4) On the Tascam menu, select "Disk." 5) On the Disk menu, select "USB OPN/CLS." Your computer should detect the DP-01 as a hard drive & be visible in "My Computer" on Windows.

Contact them at this link:http://www.tascam.com/go;33,2020.html If you are running Vista you will have to tell them what kind of soundcard you have.

Midi on the DP-01 is only for time synching with another device, synth, etc. To hear your synth through the DP-01 run a 1/4" patch cord from the audio outs (R and L) on your synth into the A and B inputs of your DP-01. Then assign the inputs to tracks and arm them for recording. You should then be able to hear your synth playing out of whatever you are using to monitor you DP-01 (headphones, stereo or powered monitors). To record the synth output simply press play and record together on the tascam.

are you using the cable that came with the unit? did you install the drivers first with out hooking up the 1884?
try this.
turn your comupter on
install drivers
restart your computer
plug in 1884
restart your computer again

On older DP-01s there was no built in metronome. Instead you had to midi sync a drum machine in order to get a click track.

Later firmware revisions however did have a built-in metronome. I'm sorry I don't know the revision levels that had it as my DP-01 is long gone. I do remember that the manual came with an addendum which contained the instructions for the metronome though. Unfortunately I don't believe Tascam makes firmware upgrades available for the DP-01 like they do for some of their other models so the firmware might be hard to come by if yours is an older one.

Lot of possibilities.

The DP-01 is like a mixer with built-in recording capabilies. You could plug your tunrntables into your DP-01 inputs, assign the inputs to tracks(channels) on the DP-01, and then output those tracks to two channels on your mixer (which would be connected to your PA.

Alternatively, you could plug the outs from your mixer into the DP-01 either by routing individual channels from the mixer into the DP-01 inputs, or outputting the mix into a single track (or into two tracks in stereo on your DP-01). Just assign the DP-01 inputs as usual to the tracks you want to record onto.

Those are just a couple of basic ideas. You could also route a DP-01 track (or the whole mix) back out the DP-01 send loop and through some external processors and then back to tracks on your DP-01, or you could do this through the mixer and then record the final result on the DP-01.

Your question is very confusing. Try rephrasing it. You should try drawing a diagram with this and uploading it to your question to better explain yourself. If you can't upload it (I know I can through the answer, but I'm not so sure about the question) you can e-mail it to me. My address is [email protected] , if not just put some more detail into the question and try rephrasing it. I'm not really sure about the details of your system.

The DP-01 does not have a MIDI-In function. Instead, it allows you to plug the MIDI device into the signal chain. Plug the MIDI device into the DP-01 by using the MPC2000xl analog 1/4" jacks on the back, marked "Stereo Right" and "Stereo Left" (right next to the headphone jack at the rear top left). Run those 1/4" cables to the front of your DP-01, into the 1/4" jacks provided.

Hold the Assign button on the DP-01 for the LEFT channel and touch the REC key for the channel you want to assign it to - the REC light will flash red to let you know the routing was successful. Do the same for the RIGHT channel.

You should also plug the MIDI-Out cable from the DP-01 into the mpc2000xl so that the clocks of the devices can be synchronized.

hey i had the same problem u need u.s.b 2 or something like that because some computers have u.s.b. 1.5 or something wierd along those lines i fixed mine by plugging mine into the back of the computer in the usb port there.
