Hi all, I've recorded seven songs on a Tascam Digital Portastudio
788. The day we were to burn the master to CD, either the power adapter (PS: P788) or the machine fried....We are trying to extract the songs from the Hard-Drive. Does anyone know what File format Tascam uses for this model/hard-drives? I know it is not a windows based format. Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks
Ken
 
I would probably bet you that your going to have to find out what happrned to your machine and get it fixed or find someone with another 788 in your area that you can swap your hard drive into. Then try either mastering from theirs or getting them to burn all your track to WAV files and transfer those to a computer based system but there is no way to do it the way you seem to be relaying in your question.
 
I concur...

Most likely you will need to do what the guy above suggested. I'm almost positive Tascam is using proprietary software and file formats in their digital recorders. You will likely need to either 1) get your 788 checked out/fixed, or 2) find someone with another 788 who would be kind enough to allow you to swap in your HD temp. to burn off what you need. Pray it isn't the harddrive that fried (very very doubtful).

Best of luck!
