Getting started
Read this section first. It contains important basic information about using
your DP 01 effectively, and will help you create exciting original musical
projects. When you have read this section (“Starting out with your DP 01”
on page 9), you will be able to find your way around the DP 01, and to
make and play back recordings.
Congratulations on your purchase of the TASCAM DP 01. This 8 track
digital hard disk recorder is designed to provide you with great sound in an
easy to use compact package, allowing you to concentrate on the music,
and not on the recording process.
The DP 01 contains a large hard disk, allowing you to record many hours
of music, up to two tracks at a time, to a maximum of eight tracks, and then
mix them down to a pair of mastered stereo tracks using the built in mixing
facilities.
The stereo mix can then be played back into a suitably equipped CD
recorder, etc., or into a computer’s audio inputs for distribution over the
Internet, etc. or transferred using a fast USB 2.0 connection to a personal
computer.
In addition, individual tracks can be imported and exported between your
DP 01 and a personal computer, and songs can be archived, backed up and
restored using a PC.
