While I am a longtime user of Cakewalk, I'm still kinda new to X2 Producer. I can't seem to find out what the numbers that are displayed in the track view are. They don't appear until play or record starts. All tracks are MIDI and there is no SysEx or controller changes in the code. Anybody...

This is not a rant or list of complaints. Just a plea for help. I'll try to summarize. I've been using Cakewalk since 1990 (DOS version) and have upgraded pretty much every other release. I had some success with computer based recording with Cakewalk Pro Audio-9 many years ago but was never...

I am getting ready to mix a choral arrangement that consists of 32 vocal tracks. 11 of my children and grand-children, 3 tracks each. The tracks are 4 parts, SATB so I can put them anywhere in the stereo spectrum but am wondering how to get the fullest sound. Should I keep each of the parts...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the instructions on page 53, all seems to go ok except for step 3. Once you press the Bounce button and the destination Rec button, the Select button no longer works. I've checked the Bounce Master fader and it is set at "0db". Then I press Record but...

Not sure where to post this, so I'll start here. I record using a Tascam DP-24 but edit and master on a PC with CoolEdit 2000. I am being pressured by friends and MicroSoft to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 but am concerned about my 15 year old copy of CoolEdit which I bought when it was still...

I picked up a new DP-008EX today as a portable extension for my DP-24. I mastered it pretty quickly because the menus and functions are nearly identical to the 24. But can't for the life of me, get the WAV Import function to work. The 008 has a WAVE folder on the SD card, but when I create a...

I've been running Sonar X2a on a laptop and finally got a heavy duty machine. Dell Optiplex 9020 i7 16gb memory with two 1tb hard drives. Anyway, is there anything I should do during installation to utilize both drives or can that be done after installation? And what things should be put on...

I'm looking for an affordable ($50 or so) carrying case for my DP-24. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks - Bill

Post cancelled.....

I've been using my DP-24 for a year now and have several completed songs left on my SD cards. The manual does not have any information about deleting songs so that they can be restored if needed in the future. Is it ok to use a PC and just cut and paste the song folder to backup? But the...

I have used the DP-24 to burn CD-RW's successfully. The trouble is, I can't seem to successfully re-use them. I've done an erase using the DP-24 but it doesn't seem to work. I've even done an erase using Windows 7, which seems to work fine, but the DP-24 still won't use the erased CD. I get...

I have a fairly large project, 4 minutes / 20 tracks that is complete and thought I'd do a "Delete Unused" before backing it up. During the delete process, it halted and gave me the following error: "Card Error - Please power off". However the DP-24 was frozen so I had to pull the plug. Upon...

I'm using Memorex 12x CD-RW for test albums. I can do a disk-at-once burn which works fine. Then the next time, I do a CD Erase first which claims to be sucessful, however, when I try to burn a new copy, I get "No room on CD". Taking the CD back to my PC (Win-7) it recognizes it as a blank...

The manual shows how to create and erase projects but doesn't mention archiving. Eventually my SD card will fill up and I'd like to clear off finished projects, but would like to keep a copy around in case I decide to revisit a project in the future. The 2488 had a backup bundling and restore...

Has anybody found a good gig bag for the DP-24? Roc-Sack used to make a perfect one for the 2488 but can't seem to find them anymore. Thanks - Bill
