I'm going from memory, on my first cup of coffee, so bear with me....I had a similar problem with my 2488 shortly after I got it (when it was first released), and the solution turned out to be to set the faders to Jump or Catch....don't recall which I used at the moment, but in all the years...

Sounds like you're doing it correctly....that it would sometimes work after powering off and back on (and reinitializing the software) would seem to indicate that it's software related. Some things I can think of to try would be first to back up your work...then, check to insure that your 2488...

Yep, I became a "regular" there, and learned a ton about my 2488 MkI there....it's truly a shame that it's gone, and all that invaluable info that built over the years has gone with it!

Good memory! That's exactly how it works on the MkI, and it works even after the song has been premastered....the MkI doesn't have the mastering function.

I picked up an inexpensive 8 channel Peavey mixer, and set up a permanent sub mix for the drums....kick, snare/hat, and 2 overheads, each in their own channel, properly EQ'd, and levels set to hit in the yellow, just under the red. I take the stereo out from that mixer into 2 inputs on the 2488...

I've always simply adjusted the faders during mixdown when I want to emphasize a track or tracks for a part of a song...I'd practice the moves during playback, keeping an eye on the meters, and get a visual on where the fader starts, moves to, and then returns to. It's not at all difficult, and...

I don't think the software allows scene changes while recording or bouncing....you can manually make changes to levels, pan positions, EQ, etc. during a recording or bouncing operation, and that would be the only workaround that I'm aware of.

Keeping the dry and effected tracks allows many options during mixdown, from changing the amount of the effect to changing the effect altogether in order to get the best mix possible without needing to have someone redo a track because a permanent effect doesn't sound right in the final mix.

The only way I can think of to delete all content would be to format the partition that the songs were on...if you didn't do that, might you have changed to another, empty partition with no songs on it? That would explain why you don't see your songs. First step would be to change to each...

Thanks for the confirmation, Zeek....good to "see" you again!

Hiya Keith, I don't have a Neo, but on the original 2488 you'd copy Song_All as Song_X, and then trim all but the desired song from Song_X to yield the song you want...and then you'd select Menu - Song - Delete Unused. A window pops up to confirm "Are You Sure?", you select "Yes", and all the...

I brought it to my guitar tech for a "soup to nuts" setup, and he also said I got a good deal on it. I'm primarily a bass player, but where my friends and I write and record our own stuff, I do a lot of guitar and keyboard work while developing songs as well. I found myself using my Blacktop...

As the new DP-24 owners began posting their questions, experiences, and the issues they encountered, I mentally made a list of pros and cons....and the cons outweighed the pros, at least with the way I've been using my 2488 for years. Back when the Tascam Forums were still active, and the 2488...

You can skip an external, and just use the 2488 preamps if you choose...I like the sound I get running the vocal mike through a tube preamp and dbx compressor, but that's a matter of choice, not necessity. I could just as easily plug the mike into the 2488, turn on the phantom power, adjust the...

Hi Gdub, Glad to pitch in! I'm watching all the threads discussing the DP-24 with interest, but from what I've learned so far, I think I'll be a lot happier staying with my 2488. Too many changes, both in the unit, and in my workflow to make it a logical upgrade path for me. If my 2488 were non...

I use the MIDI drums all the time when I'm working on a new song...it's a practice I started very soon after I got the 2488 (when it first came out), simply because the metronome was too hard to hear! I laugh about it now, but I'm grateful I got on the wagon early and have the Mk I with the MIDI...

I don't have a Neo, but on the original 2488, error code 02 means "Cannot find digital input. Press EXIT". If you press Exit, and then check your input settings, you may have them set for digital input....either MIDI or S/PDIF, and the system is looking for a signal on those imputs. Hope this is...

Knobs and buttons and color, oh my! Yet....even the 2488 Mk II and Neo models changed from the original 2488 Mk I (which I'm still using to this day)...biggest example is the loss of the built in MIDI based drum patterns. For laying down a song, it's quick and painless to create a drum track to...

This is exactly what I do - sends 1 and 2 out to the rack, bring the effected signals back in on inputs C and D, assign to a stereo pair of tracks...this allows you to balance your dry and effected tracks nicely at mixdown to get exactly the sound you're after.
