Subject: DP24 WAV file import of files created by Tascam 788
Hello to all. I am a new user here as of 10 May 2014. I hope that someone here can answer my questions. I did several searches of this forum as well as some others and did not find an answer.
I have been using a Tascam 788 and CD drive for the past decade or so. Good product. I have recorded a ton of music with it.
I have backed up my work in two ways:
- Data CDs.
- WAV files on CD.
However, as we all know, some day this 788 or one of its pieces will stop working and need to be replaced. I have been thinking of upgrading to a DP24 with its CD drive.
Question: How do I tranfer my work to the DP24? Can it be done, or is it history?
788 data CDs: I am assuming that the 788 Data CDs are essentially worthless as far as the DP 24 is concerned. True?
DP24: First off, I know that the manual states that it will read/load/import WAV files using an external computer, but it will NOT read/load/import the files using the CD drive. True?
I have a friend with a DP24, and we have been trying to do this process with his machine. As you might have guessed we are not having any luck.
We have put the 788 WAV files into a laptop.
We can transfer the WAV files made by the 788 into the DP24 SD card.
We have created a new song in the DP24 in which to place these WAV files.
After that we keep getting an error.
We cannot get the WAV files into a song and assigned to tracks for further work.
Are there any compatibility issues with the WAV files created by the 788 versus those expected by the DP24?
Any other "gotchas" that you know of?
Sample rate?
24/16 bit?
Have I/we found a new “bug” in the DP24?
I'm hoping to find someone that has actually done this process successfully.
Thanks in advance.
