    DP-32SD button problems

    I have a Twitter account that I used to use for personal stuff, but have since converted to support my little studio: https://twitter.com/Cygnus_Studios There's a Facebook page for it as well: https://www.facebook.com/cygnus.studios.florida/ I've also put some of my songs online on Soundcloud...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Hey again Pub Style... Wow, that's really weird behavior. You're right, probably a defective unit. But respectfully, I couldn't disagree with you more about recording drums with it. I play a DW drum kit, and use 7 mics. This works out great for me since it has 8 inputs, and can also record up...

    DP-32SD button problems

    No problem! Sorry I get a bit chatty, I tend to do that in forum posts (and FB, and email, and blogs, and...). At least Twitter reels me in. :rolleyes: I know it's considered a cardinal sin to buy gear or instruments without trying them out first, but I buy almost all of mine at Musician's...

    DP-32SD button problems

    The DP-32SD, and the entire recording, mixing and mastering process I've had mine for years with never a problem, except for the one I've discussed in this thread. That only recently developed after hundreds of hours of recording. It sounds like you just received a defective unit, and should...

    DP-32SD button problems

    That's the curious thing. I hardly ever use the button in question (rewind) except for "return to zero" sometimes. That's the main button that was intermittently failing, although it's 100% better now. If I did go through the major surgery that arcaxis found on YouTube, there's no doubt I'd...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Forgot to ask, has anyone run across a parts list for the DP-32SD, preferably along with an exploded diagram? I know it's a long shot, but I had to ask. ;^)

    DP-32SD button problems

    Hi wkrbee! As I was saying in my original post, unfortunately the closest Tascam authorized service center is 90 miles away (360 miles between drop-off and pick-up trips), so that's out of the question as far as I'm concerned. The buttons have still been behaving so far, but I think that's...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Well, I got a little bored awaiting the DeoxIT products I ordered, and thought I might pick up some canned duster air while I was at the store today. The full brand name is "CRC Duster", and can be used on all sorts of electronics per the label. I removed power from the recorder, then using the...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Hi Mickster! I really appreciate the advice, and I've already tried all of those things. I discovered after my last post that the buttons work if I give them a slightly harder press, as both of you have now mentioned. So, I'm hopeful the DeoxIT will take care of the issue. Tascam must think...

    DP-32SD button problems

    I wound up ordering this bundle to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Unfortunately, a 10 day wait right now, but has a 5 star rating with 55 reviews. Must be good stuff! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HNV7WI2/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    DP-32SD button problems

    Awesome, looks like that would be the D5S-6 flavor. I think I'll pick up some fader lube as well, for both my mixer board and the recorder. Probably won't run all over the place looking for it, since my wife has an Amazon Prime account, and I can get it that way in just a few days Either way...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Hello again, arcaxis. I thank you again once again for your advice, but one more thing... There's several flavors of the DeoxIT D-Series product listed on the CAIG web site. General description for D5: "Fast-acting deoxidizing solution that cleans, protects, lubricates and improves conductivity...

    DP-32SD button problems

    Duh, use Google Craig! Looks like Radio Shack carries it, and there's one nearby. Thanks mucho again, your advice is appreciated!

    DP-32SD button problems

    Thanks so much arcaxis, at this point I'll give just about anything a try! BTW, I did install and fully format a new SD card as well, with unfortunately no change. So, this leaves me with the obvious question... Is there a place you can suggest where I might find this stuff locally?

    DP-32SD button problems

    Hello all! Been quite a while since I stuck my head in here, but I thought someone could offer me some kind advice. I have a Tascam DP-32SD, out of warranty, which hasn't been used for a few months (real life stuff interrupting my music creation process, you know how it goes). I recorded a 10...

    Deleting Tascam DP-32SD location marks

    I'm experiencing a problem with the subject unit that I'm hoping someone can help me out with... The Tascam DP-32SD Owner's Manual states on page 51: ------- Deleting a location mark You can delete marks when the recorder is stopped. 1. Press the F FWD (,) or REW (m) button to move to the...

    Yet another "Direct/Insert" jack issue

    Farview... When all of this started to become a concern, I did some research myself and tried pretty close if not right on those ranges/cuts with the mic directly into the recorder (think they're pretty standard for a BD), along with a host of others without much success. I'm really just trying...

    Yet another "Direct/Insert" jack issue

    @bouldersoundguy: Yes, as I said in a few posts back I realize that I really need to get a new mixer with dedicated outputs on each channel. That's ultimately the proper solution, thank you. Also thanks for suggesting a mixer, but that's out my price range at the moment, although I certainly...

    Yet another "Direct/Insert" jack issue

    Oh, speaking of the dir/ins jacks, there's something else I forgot to mention. Take a look at the bottom diagram on page 22. That makes it look like you can use those jacks to feed a multi-track recorder. I guess if you don't mind losing all control of the channels, anyway. Pretty ridiculous.

    Yet another "Direct/Insert" jack issue

    Hi again Jay... Sorry, that manual link I included in my last post seems to be incomplete, so I put a good, complete copy into my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9323980vi05jo9d/AADjHaiiaBHkV2djAjg9kIcsa You should be able to access it, if not just let me know. If you would be so kind...
