TASCAM HS-2

This unit can import and play audio files that meet the

following requirements.
In addition, files created by other TASCAM HS series units

can be played back as is without recording if they meet

the following conditions:
• File format:

BWF/WAV

• Sampling frequency: 44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz
• Quantization bit rate: 16/24 bits
• Number of tracks:

2 or less

CAUTION

Since the sampling frequency (or sampling rate—the

value of the

item in this unit) that can be played back

is fixed by the project, the file sampling frequency must

match the project

value.

Preparation before importing

Check the sampling frequency (sampling rate) of the file

that you want to import in advance.
1 Select a project with an

value that matches the

sampling frequency of the file or create a new proj-

ect with the same sampling frequency as the file

using the

item on

CREATE PROJECT

screen 1/3.

CREATE PROJECT screen 1/3

2 Create a session as necessary.

NOTE

For details about creating projects and sessions, see

“Project operations” on page 37 and “Session operations” on

page 40.

3 Make a note of the names of the project and ses-

sion that you want to use for importing the file.
In this example, the name of the project is “Project_i”

and the name of the session is “Session_i”.

4 Confirm that the slot indicator where the media

storage device is inserted is not blinking rapidly

and eject the media storage device.

5. Insert that media storage device into the media

slot of the computer, for example.
If this media storage device was formatted by this unit,

it will be recognized by the computer as a drive named

HS-2.
In this example, the drive name HS-2 is used.

6. Copy the audio file that you want to import into

the “Session_i” session folder inside the “Project_i”

project folder, which is in the HS-2 drive.

CAUTION

Do not eject the media storage device while DATA is being

written to it. Doing so could damage DATA on the media

storage device and even make DATA unreadable.

For details, please see the manuals for your computer,

card reader or other device being used for this purpose.

7 After writing is complete, remove the media stor-

age device from the media slot of the computer or

other device.
