Tascam DP004 Quick Tutorial

Quick tutorial on how to minimally set up the DP004, record a couple tracks, mix it down, and export it to your computer. Mostly for my own reference when I pull out the thing every 6 months and can't remember the couple little tricks.

Re: Tascam questions

Hello. I'm not home right now, so I'll have to answer these questions off the top of my head.

The Tascam stores stuff in uncompressed 44Khz 16-bit wav format, so can store about 3 hours of total track recording on a 1GB card. I cannot recall if the machine can handle a 2GB card,

44Khz 16 audio is about 88KB/sec, so a 5 minute song with 4 tracks would be about 88KB*300sec = 25MB.

i prefer a handgun as a pointer.... dude you're scary :D

[PhokasMusic]

did you say you like to ass fuck pretty ladies and you might choke them from behind?.... right on

[ShowAlmosteverything]

why do u use a knife as a pointer?

what's next a flamethrower?

[thewombatsshred]

I clicked on this saying "ooh, cool, ill learn a little more about my 4 track recorder"

Then i saw the knife and though "..ohh, well maybe he records country music, who am i to judge"

THEN, he sang.

Thats when i decided to call the cops...

I have managed to export a master to my computer but only when the 'In' is at 0:00:00. Basically what I have is over an hour of recorded riffs but on one continuous track. I set the 'In' at 58min and the 'out' at 59min but when I try to record the master of that section it just starts recording at 0:00:00. It's really pissing me off that I can't get this tiny 1 minute section onto my computer without basically recording a master of the entire hour's worth of recording on the card. WTF?!

[JonHafner]

This was not too helpful. I'm tryin to fig out how to loop tracks sliced out of a track on dp004 but no luck yet without exporting first. Any ideas?! Is it even possible? I play guitar, but want solid studio chord progression. After playing for four or five minutes, I seem to have some measures sounding "off" from the original start up, or what i wanted. Any help would be great.

has anyone called the cops on you man?...somebody should :))))))))))

[rickabeyta]

Dude, your Freaking Awesome. This helped me record and master my first song. Loved the video, the knife pointer and the song lyrics too.

LOL - It looks like he's holding his DP hostage and making it do as he says.

[BitOveRate]

when going to master record why does it tell me the master track is too short? I think there is enough space to record.
