TASCAM 2488neo

This example shows how to record a rhythm guitar, followed
by recording an accompanying lead guitar. This is a simple
recording, but the same procedures also apply to more com-
plicated recordings, so please read this section carefully.

Setting up your first song

To make sure we start with a “clean slate,” we will create a
new song.

T I P

The 2488neo is shipped from the factory with a new
song ready for you to record. However, if the 2488neo
has been used before, it will automatically load the
last song that was worked on, and you may need to
follow these instructions to create a new song. Nor-
mally, though, this will not be needed.
