Note that you can also enable/disable record tracks from the
HOME
screen, as well. Just select
the REC TRACK tab at the bottom of the screen. This is where you would normally access the
tracks during a production session, after the initial setting up.
The
FILE FORMAT
tab allows you to select mono (default)or poly formats for your tracks, the bit rate
(16 or 24), mono file placement (subfolder is the default), max file size (2GB is default), and whether the
file is split (default) or stays intact when you hit the pause button.
Important NOTE: the default bit rate for the Tascam is 24 bit, which would be correct for music.
However, for film/video, the 16 bit setting is more prevalent – but some productions do use 24
bit.
Always ASK the Post Production Supervisor what settings they require!
The
OPTIONS
tab is where you will find the capability of enabling the
PRE RECORD
function. The default
setting is OFF, but there are some field applications where it is extremely useful to be able to record
audio that occurred a few seconds BEFORE you pressed the RECORD button!
