Starting out with your DP-01
TASCAM DP-01 Owner’s Manual 15
Connecting your DP-01 to other equipment
The INPUT MODE switch
This switch is important when you are recording from input A and input B
together.
INPUT MODE
does
not affect the re-
cording at all—just the monitor-
ing process.
This front panel switch affects the way that you monitor the input signals,
both through the headphones and/or through the
LINE OUTPUT jacks. There
are two positions:
In the
MONO X 2
mode, the
A
and
B
input signals are added together
in the center, and you may hear
distortion in the monitoring sys-
tem This does not affect the re-
cording, though.
… MONO x 2—The signals from input A and input B are both sent to the
center of the monitoring “stage”.
… STEREO—The signal from input A is sent to the left, and that from
input
B is sent to the right of the monitoring “stage” forming a stereo
pair for use when you are recording stereo instruments such as synthe-
sizers, etc.
Monitoring and recording Use the rear panel LINE OUTPUT RCA
jacks to connect the DP-01 to your monitoring system (this is a fancy term for
an amplifier/speaker setup). When you come to make your final stereo record-
ing, you can use these jacks to connect to an analog recorder.
A typical setup would connect these jacks to the AUX IN of a stereo system.
“Tracking” means
recording tracks
on the DP-01. “Mastering” means
taking these recording tracks and
mixing them down to stereo.
Use the stereo system’s selector switch to listen to the AUX source when track-
ing and bouncing, etc. on the DP-01 as well as when mastering.
When you have mastered the stereo track and you want to record it, set the
stereo monitoring system so that the recorder is set to record from the AUX
source, and you listen to the recorder, rather than the source.
The DP-01FX has
an internal reverb
processor. However, you can also
use an external effect processor if
you prefer.
Effect processor When you want to use an external effect processor with
the DP-01, connect the rear panel
SEND of the DP-01 to the mono input of
the processor (1/4” unbalanced jack).
Connect the stereo outputs of the processor to the two
RETURN jacks of the
DP-01 (1/4" unbalanced jacks).
