Recording
22 TASCAM DP-01 Owner’s Manual
Starting out with your DP-01
More advanced features
These are not described here, in order to allow you to continue learning the
basic techniques of working with the DP-01.
However, you should be aware that these options exist, so that you can make
use of them in future projects.
Locating using marks, etc.
Although “Recording” on page 21 shows you some ways of moving around
your song, the DP-01 provides you with ways to jump around the song using
location marks as well as allowing to locate directly to a position you set.
… See “Location” on page 25 for details of how to set and use these loca-
tion marks.
Punch recording
When we talk about “punch recording”, we mean going from play mode into
record mode without stopping (“punching in”) as well as going from recording
to playback without stopping (“punching out”).
The DP-01 provides three ways to perform punching:
… When at least one track is armed (the REC key is flashing), and a song
is being played back, press the
RECORD transport key to punch in.
When recording, pressing the
PLAY key on its own punches out.
… If you have a footswitch connected to the PUNCH jack, you can press
the footswitch to change between playback and recording, as long as at
least one track is armed for recording.
… You can automate the punch process by setting in and out points. This
is described in “IN and OUT marks” on page 26 and also in “Punch-
ing” on page 29.
Bouncing
The DP-01 provides eight tracks for recording. But what happens if you want to
record more than eight instruments?
The DP-01 allows you to play the stereo mix back into two tracks which you
can then use as additional tracks. See “Bouncing” on page 31 for full details.
Track editing
Because the DP-01 is a disk recorder, not a tape recorder, there are many
options available to you which would be extremely difficult, or even impossible,
with a tape-based recording system.
See “About track editing” on page 46 for details of copy, cut, and paste, etc.
operations that you can perform on the DP-01.
Undoing operations
Just like on many computer systems, you can undo many operations (including
recording, if you record over something you shouldn’t have done).
See the full explanation of how to use the
UNDO and REDO functions in
“Undoing operations” on page 50.
