1. What computer program is he using?
2. Does the tascam import 16 BIT or 24 BIT files?
3. If it were me I would sequence/arrange within the computer.
4. What type of sound card is he using?
Got someone trying to hook his tascamm 2488 to a pc....then import beats from pc(wav files,sound by sound,track by track) into his 2488....
Anyone?
Several ways you can do this, but the best way would be EXPORTING each
individual track (
keep it at 24 bit resolution), back all the tracks on cd (remember all the tracks should be seperate), and import them one by one or import multiple files (if the machine allows multiple files to be imported at ONE time.)
If the tracks are already sequenced/arranged make sure ALL the tracks have the same
START time.
Method #2 would be to sync the pc and the tascam via midi (MIDI OUT OF PC TO MIDI IN OF TASCAM. MIDI OUT OF TASCAM TO MIDI IN OF PC AND SET THE TASCAM TO
MASTER) and RECORD the music into the tascam that way.
so far he can only import a whole song/ mp3 or wav as 1 track, thru the cd-drive on the unit...basically he'd like to be able to break the beat down on the 2488 instead of on the pc....simply by hittin the track button to drop out the selected sound...
Your average cd holds 750mb of data and can hold a shitload of wav files. EXPORT each track individually (make sure they ALL have the same start time) and import them one at a time to the same SONG/PROJECT. If the tascam does NOT allow you to import multiple files (even if you are doing it one at a time) to the same song/project you need to do #2.
