Mono monitoring

Typically monitoring is carried out in stereo, echoing the stereo bus. However, there may be times when you want to check what the mix sounds like in mono. When you want to monitor in mono, press the MONITOR SOURCE (MONO) key while the SHIFT indicator is lit. While the monitoring is in mono, the appropriate monitor selection indicator flashes. Use the MONITOR SOURCE key to turn off mono monitoring.

Record source monitoring

Using the 2488MKII, you can apply input channel EQ and insert effects as you record the input channel signal (recording source). The sound that you hear on your headphones or monitoring speakers, though, will ordinarily also have track mixer EQ and insert effects applied. This allows you to listen to the signal as it will sound during future playback (that is, with track mixer EQ and insert effects applied) while you are recording. However, there may be times when you want to hear the signal that you are actually recording to the hard disk (the recording source). If you turn the recording source monitor function ON, track mixer EQ and insert effects are not applied to the recording source during recording. This allows you to listen to the sound of just the input channel EQ and insert effects. Moreover, to make it easy to monitor the recording source, you can always use the track mixer pan-pots and faders to change the stereo position and volume as needed (this will not affect the recorded signal).
Even when the recording source monitoring function is ON, track mixer EQ and insert effects are applied to the playback signals of already recorded tracks.
To use this function, just press the RECORDING SOURCE MONITOR key. The indicator lights when recording source monitoring is in operation.

Monitor muting

Mute the monitor output by pressing the monitor section MUTE key so that indicator lights. The headphone output is not muted. This function is convenient when you want to silence the monitor speaker output temporarily because, for example, you want to listen with headphones for a moment or the phone rings.

Soloing and toggle
If you press the SOLO key to the upper right of the STEREO fader, the indicator lights and solo mode activates. In solo mode, the track channel MUTE/SOLO keys function as SOLO keys, allowing you to monitor just the track channel signals of your choice. The MUTE/SOLO keys of any soloed channels flash while being soloed. Muted channels cannot be soloed or unmuted while solo mode is active. When soloing channels, the solo is in-place., meaning that faders, pan controls, EQ, etc. affect the soloed sound, and channels other than those with their SOLO keys pressed are muted.

You can use an external expression pedal to control a single (non-selectable) parameter for each of the 4th stage effects (flanger, phaser, chorus, exciter, pitch, tremolo, vibrato, wah). Set PEDAL to ON to make pedal control possible.
Using the multi-effect library
1 From the MULTI EFFECT parameter screen, press YES/ENTER: 3 Use the JOG/DATA dial (or / cursor keys) to select the multi-effect setting that you want to use from the list. 4 Press the YES/ENTER. The setting that you select becomes the multi-effect for the current input/channel and its parameters appear on the MULTI EFFECT screen.
Pressing the NO/EXIT key returns to the MULTI EFFECT screen without saving.
2 Use the / cursor keys to select either the PRESET memory banks, the USER memory banks, or SAVE the current setting. The left side of the PRESET memory banks provides a description of the effect (GRUNGE , CLEAN FUNK , etc.). The library list shows the preset names (left) and the two main effects used (right).
Saving multi-effect settings
You can save an edited setting as a user setting in the library. 1 When the MULTI EFFECT screen is visible, press the YES/ENTER key to open the MULTI EFFECT LIBRARY screen. 2 Use the / cursor keys to select SAVE. 3 Use the JOG/DATA dial (or the / cursor keys) to select a setting slot to store the new setting. 4 Rename the setting if you want (see Titling on page 15).
5 Press the YES/ENTER key to save the setting and return to the MULTI EFFECT screen.
This overwrites any existing setting in that slot.
Press the NO/EXIT key to return to the MULTI EFFECT screen without saving.
The right column of the list shows the basic effect types (DIST-FLG, etc.) used in each setting so they will always be clear regardless of the setting names.

Single effect

The single effect provides you with a quality effect in the internal effect loop. This is most useful in the mixdown and mastering stages, but it can be used at any time. Input channel and track channel signals can be sent to the single effect. Channel signal send levels and pre/post selection are set on the EFFECT SEND screen (see Effect send on page 32). The return from this effect is sent to the stereo bus, or to the bounce sub mix (Making a bounce mix on page 58). Press the SINGLE EFFECT key. It lights, and the screen changes to the SINGLE EFFECT screen: Press the YES/ENTER key to enter the library screen to recall a preset effect or a user effect or to save the current parameters.

You cannot perform this operation while recording.

Skipping to marks

If you briefly press and release the F FWD key, the transport skips to the next mark. If you briefly press and release the REW key, the transport skips to the preceding mark. See Mark functions on page 51 for more about setting and using marks.

Recording

You can record after selecting the partition and the song. To start recording from the stopped state: 1 At least one track should be armed (press the REC key(s) of the track(s) on which recording is to take place). The REC keys(s) start to flash). Since tracks 13 to 24 are stereo tracks, they are always recorded simultaneously as paired tracks.
When a track is recording or is armed to record (the track REC key is lit or flashing), its track number appears in inverse on the home screen, as shown in the illustration.
2 Press and hold down the RECORD key. 3 Press the PLAY key. Both the PLAY (green) and RECORD (red) indicators light, and the flashing REC indicator(s) light steadily. 4 Stop recording by pressing the STOP key.

PUNCH recording

To drop into record mode while playing back: 1 Arm one or more tracks by pressing their REC keys. Their indicators start to flash. 2 Start playing back a song by pressing the PLAY key. The PLAY indicator will light. 3 Press the RECORD key. The RECORD indicator will light, and the REC indicators of the armed tracks will also light. To end recording, press either the STOP key or the PLAY key (punch out).
At least one track must be armed before you start to record. It is not possible to enter a record ready mode and press the REC keys of tracks to start recording.

Hands-free recording

You can also use a suitable foot switch (for example the TASCAM RC-30P) connected to the PUNCH jack on the front, to drop into record mode. When a track is armed, and playback is taking place, pressing the foot switch will change from playback mode to record mode. When recording, pressing the foot switch will drop out of record mode into playback mode.

Undo recordings

You can undo recordings, (unlike on a tape recorder). Even if you accidentally record over important audio data, you can recover the original data by using the undo function. See UNDO and REDO on page 64 for details.

If you cannot see any waveforms when you first enter this display, press the key to zoom the volume so that you can see the quiet passages.
6 Use the JOG/DATA dial to move the playback position as you like. You can monitor the jogged sound of the selected track through the monitoring system.
You cannot move the mark to a position before the previous mark or after the next mark.
7 To move past the edge of the screen, press and hold the F FWD and REW keys to play the tracks forwards or backwards at normal speed for a rough position. When you release the keys, the playback will stop. 8 Press YES/ENTER to accept the new position as the active mark value (the playback position is now the new position), and return to the home screen. 9 Press NO/EXIT to return to the home screen with the playback position being the point which has just been set, but the active mark value is unchanged.
3 Press the SELECT key of the track that you want to view. The display changes to the waveform of that track. Although the active mark applies to all tracks, if you have a track selected with nothing or little recorded on it at that point, it will be impossible to see or hear anything using this function.
4 Use the and keys to zoom out and in respectively horizontally. That is, pressing the key will increase the amount of space on the screen taken by a certain amount of time, and pressing the key will make the same amount of time take less space on the screen. The three zoom levels available are: x 1, x 2 at about single-frame accuracy), and x 32 at about 10-sub-frame accuracy (shown below the time display).

Skip between marks

During playback or when the transport is stopped, press the F FWD or REW key briefly and release it to skip to the next or previous mark.

52 TASCAM

Using the mark list
Every time a mark is stored, it is entered into the list, and every time a mark is deleted, it is removed from the list. Use the MARK LIST to locate, erase, and add titles to marks. Note that this list cannot be used to edit mark positions. To see the list, press the LOCATE key:
Erasing marks using the list The MARK LIST screen appears.
1 Press the LOCATE key. 2 Use the JOG/DATA dial (or / cursor keys) to select the mark to erase. 3 Press the DELETE key to erase the selected mark.
Even when the time display on the home screen is shown in bars and beats, or the MTC time display is selected, the marks time values are always shown using the absolute time values. Items in the list are always sorted in time order, not the order of the mark point names or numbers.

It is not strictly necessary to have a track armed when you first press the AUTO PUNCH key, but this is probably the most logical way to work.
Checking the punch points
When the punch points have been set, you can press the PLAY key. The home display shows CHECK, and the playback starts at the pre-roll point. It continues to the post-roll point. If the punch positions are not what you want, you can press the AUTO PUNCH key to turn off the punch mode, and reset the punch points as described above. Set the pre-roll and post-roll time on the RECORDER screen of the PREFERENCE menu (see Recorder preferences on page 93), but you must exit the auto punch mode first by pressing the AUTO PUNCH key so that the indicator goes out. If you the punch points and pre and postroll times are what you want, you should proceed to the rehearsal stage, as described below.

Rehearsing the punch

Although you do not have to use the rehearsal feature (see Rehearsing recording on page 50) with the auto punch, its probably a good idea to rehearse most punch recordings a few times before making a take. 1 With the AUTO PUNCH indicator lit, and a track armed, press the RHSL (rehearsal) key. The indicator lights. 2 Press and hold down the RECORD key and press the PLAY key.
When playback reaches the punch-in point, the
monitored signal on the armed track(s) is muted. The RECORD indicator flashes (to show that it is a rehearsal). When playback reaches the punch-out point, the recorded material is added to the monitored signal. The RECORD indicator goes out. Playback continues to the post-roll point and stops. If you press the REPEAT key before the rehearsal, so that the indicator is lit (as well as the AUTO PUNCH and RHSL indicators), the rehearsal process will repeat until you press the STOP key. There is about a seconds interval between the post-roll and the restarting of the rehearsal at the pre-roll point. You cannot change this interval.
The display shows TAKE. Playback starts at the pre-roll point. Both the input source
and previously-recorded material can be monitored.

This function takes the section of a track or tracks marked by the IN and OUT points, and moves it to the chosen track or tracks, inserting it as new material, starting at the TO point.
After the operation, the selected section of the source between the IN and OUT points is replaced by silence. The insert operation adds the selected section as new material to the destination. Nothing is overwritten on the destination, as any material following the TO point is moved to the end of the newly-inserted section. The destination is therefore longer than it was before the operation.
This function opens up a silent gap between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks.

IN OUT

The source and destination are the same, and after the operation, the track is split at the IN point, with the material which followed the IN point now moved to follow the OUT point. The result is therefore longer than the original. There is only one value that you can change: Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 24), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, etc.), all of the tracks (1-24) or all the virtual tracks (ALL).
In this operation the audio material after the OUT point is moved forward to the IN point.
The source and destination are the same, and after the operation, the material which followed the OUT point now moved to follow the IN point. Material which was between the IN and OUT points is deleted. The result is therefore shorter than the original. There is only one value that you can change: Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 24), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, etc.), all of the tracks (1-24) or all the virtual tracks (ALL). Press YES/ENTER to perform the operation or NO/EXIT to leave this screen.

62 TASCAM

SILENCE
This function is equivalent to recording silence between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks.
There is only one value that you can change: Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, etc.), or all the tracks (1-24). Press YES/ENTER to perform the operation or NO/EXIT to leave this screen.
No material is added or deleted, and the length of the result is therefore the same as that of the original.

CLONE TRACK

This copies a track or pair of tracks to another track or pair of tracks. The IN and OUT points do not have any meaning here. There are two values that you can change: Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 24), or a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, etc.) or the MASTER stereo track. Dst. Trk This sets the destination track or tracks to which the source track is cloned. What you can select here depends on what you have selected for the source track. If you have selected a single track, you can select tracks 1 through 24 here. If you have selected a pair of tracks (for instance, 1/2 or MASTER), you can only select track pairs (1/2, 3/4, etc.) here. Press YES/ENTER to perform the operation or NO/EXIT to leave this screen. If you try to select the same track as a destination that you have selected as the source, when you press the YES/ ENTER key, a pop-up message will appear. Redo the operation with a different set of tracks.

Only one of the above methods can be used in recording a single disc. For example, a disc that has tracks that were recorded using TAO can have another CD track added using TAO, but recording with DAO or Live Writer is not possible. DAO and Live Writer recording is only possible on a blank disc.
Creating an audio CD using TAO
Before starting this operation you must make sure that there is a recordable disc inserted in the CD-RW drive. If there is no recordable disc (that is, a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized), the 2488MKII shows an appropriate message. 1 Make sure the 2488MKII is in normal mode (not master check or pre-mastering mode). On the AUDIO CD menu, move the cursor to CD WRITER and press YES/ENTER. The 2488MKII checks the disc. After verifying that the disc is recordable, a list of the pre-mastered songs on the current partition appears.
4 Press YES/ENTER to continue, and NO/EXIT if you want to choose a different song. 5 You are asked if you are sure that you want to record the song. Press YES/ENTER to proceed with the recording. CD writing begins. Two seconds of silence are automatically added to the end of each track recorded to disc.
A pop-up message appears if there is not enough space on the disc to write a CD track. In this case, you can adjust the length of the master track (see "Trimming the master" on page 70) or use a different disc. All other 2488MKII functions are disabled during CD writing.
If a song has been recorded, but has not been mastered, it will not appear in the list. If you want to change partitions, see Selecting the active partition on page 13.
2 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select the song whose master track you want to write to the CD, and press the YES/ENTER key.
DO NOT TURN OFF the 2488MKII while this writing operation is taking place. You will almost certainly spoil the disc and may corrupt the song data. Do not press the eject button below the disc tray while a disc is being written. Doing so may cause the disc writing procedure to fail.
6 To check the recorded disc, use the CD PLAYER option described below.
3 Choose at this point whether you want to finalize the disc. If you finalize the disc at this stage, you will not be able to add any more CD tracks to it.
If you do not finalize the disc at this stage, you can finalize it later in a separate operation.

Finalizing the disc

When you have recorded the last CD track on a disc, you must finalize it to make it playable on ordinary CD players. Before finalizing, you can check the recorded CD tracks using the 2488MKIIs CD PLAYER function. The CD-RW drive must contain an unfinalized disc before you start the process. 1 Make sure the 2488MKII is in normal mode (not master check or pre-mastering mode). On the AUDIO CD menu, move the cursor to FINALIZE and press YES/ENTER. 2 A pop-up screen asks if you are sure. Press YES/ENTER to continue, NO/EXIT to stop the finalize process. If you continue, the CD session is closed and the finalizing material (Table of Contents or TOC) is written to the disc.

You cannot add CD tracks to a finalized disc. You can only finalize a disc once, and you cannot unfinalize a disc. During finalizing, the CD-RW drives eject button cannot be used.
Creating an audio CD using DAO
When recording multiple CD tracks at once, you can set the order in which the tracks are recorded. Once a CD has been made in this way, no further tracks can be added, as the CD is automatically finalized at the end of the operation. 1 Insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW disc in the CD- RW drive before starting the following procedures. 2 With the 2488MKII stopped in a normal mode (not master check or pre-mastering mode), choose CD WRITER from the AUDIO CD menu, and press the YES/ENTER key. The 2488MKII checks the disc. After verifying that the disc is recordable, a list of the pre-mastered songs on the current partition appears on screen.
4 If you have made a mistake in adding a song to the list, you can remove it by highlighting the title and pressing the DELETE key. 5 When you have added all the songs to the list that you want to record on the CD, press YES/ENTER.
If you have only selected one song, the procedure from now is as if you had highlighted the song and pressed YES/ENTER, as described above. Read that section, and ignore the remainder of this section.
The screen changes to the song order screen (if you want to return to the song selection screen, press NO/EXIT ).
If a song has been recorded, but has not been mastered, it will not appear in the list. If you have a song in another partition which you want to add to the list in the current partition, you should copy it from the old partition to the current partition (see Copying songs on page 46).
3 Use the dial to scroll through the list of songs, and when you highlight a song that you wish to add to the final CD, press the INSERT key. A check mark appears by the title of every selected song. There is no need to worry about the final running order of the CD at this stage.
6 Use the dial to scroll through the list of songs. 7 When a song title is highlighted, use the and keys to move it up and down in the list. As the song is moved up and down in the list it remains highlighted. Select further songs for rearrangement using the dial. 8 Repeat procedures 6 and 7 as necessary. 9 When you have completed the running order, press YES/ENTER. The screen changes to the gap setting screen. This allows you to set the gap between tracks on the CD (press NO/EXIT to return to the song order screen).

If you cancel the restore operation part of the way through, none of the song is restored, and the 2488MKII goes back to the state before the restore was started.
6 When data is restored from the last disc, the disc is ejected, and the restored song is loaded.
3 Press YES/ENTER to continue, NO/EXIT to eject the disc and cancel the operation. 4 If you go ahead with the restore, the 2488MKII copies the data from the disc to the active disk partition. A bar graph on screen shows the progress. 5 If the backup is spanning more than one disc, when the first disc has been read, it is ejected, and a message asks you to put in the next disc. Insert the next disc and press YES/ENTER. To cancel restoration, press the NO/EXIT key instead of the YES/ENTER key. You cannot cancel a restoration once it has started.
Using USB for backup and restore
By using a USB cable to connect the 2488MKII and a personal computer, it is possible to back up songs and restore them to and from the computers disk drive. Song data that has been backed up this way is not audio data and therefore cannot be played back on a computer. It is also possible to use the USB connection to import and export audio files. See File import/export on page 77 for details. The 2488MKII and USB data transfer is carried out at USB 2.0 speeds (if your computer uses the older 1.1 USB standard, it will still work, just slower). Consult your computer documentation for details.
We recommend that you always use a cable designed for USB 2.0 operations to ensure accurate and fast data transfer.
See Use with a personal computer on page 8 for conditions regarding the connection of a computer.

84 TASCAM

Backing up
If you do not understand the 2488MKIIs disk arrangement, you should read Hard disk and partitions on page 13. Backup to a computer connected via USB is a two-stage process. The first stage is copying the song data from a TASCAM partition to the FAT partition, and the second stage is copying it from the FAT partition to the computer. To backup: 1 With the transport stopped, press the MENU key. Note that you do not have to connect the 2488MKII to the computer at this stage. From the DATA BACKUP menu, select USB BACKUP. The screen shows a list of songs on the current partition, and their size. 7 Disconnect the 2488MKII and the computer (see Closing the USB connection on page 77).
If you repeat this process many times, you may find that the FAT partition fills up. You can manage the files on the FAT partition from your computer, as well as erasing the FAT partitionss contents from the 2488MKII.
2 Note the size of the free space available on the FAT partition, and select a song which will fit onto that partition. 3 Press YES/ENTER when youve selected the song. The HD indicator flashes as the song data is copied. The song files in the FAT partition will appear as 8.3 filenames, rather than with the 12-character internal names. The real longer names are stored as a part of the song. If the data for a single song exceeds 4 GB, the song file backup is split into 2 parts. Make sure these files are kept together. 4 When the copy is finished, attach the 2488MKII to your computer using a USB 2.0 cable. 5 Select the DISK option and press YES/ENTER and then select the USB OPEN/CLOSE option and press YES/ENTER (see Opening the USB connection on page 77). The 2488MKII will appear as a removable disk on your computer system. 6 Drag and drop the song file from the 2488MKII to your computers disk. You can then archive it, burn a backup CD-R, etc. Note that you should not rename it at allwhen you come to restore it, the 2488MKII needs the filename in its original state as it came from the 2488MKII.

4 If MIDI is chosen, the following parameters can be set:
You can select the following metronome modes. FREE: When the CLICK key is ON, a click will sound during both recording and playback according to the tempo and time signature set on the FREE METRONOME screen (see Using the metronome below). REC: When the CLICK key is ON, a click will sound during recording according to the tempo and time signature set on the TEMPO MAP screen or according to the selected SMF (see Tempo map on page 88). REC&PLAY: When the CLICK key is ON, a click will sound during recording and during playback according to the tempo and time signature set on the TEMPO MAP screen or according to the selected SMF (see Tempo map on page 88). Select the MIDI channel (MIDI Ch 10 is usually reserved for drums and percussion), and the Note and Velocity used for the Accent (the first note of each bar) and Normal beats. Use e the CLICK key to turn the metronome on (indicator lights orange) and off (indicator goes off). The indicator lights orange while waiting, and while the click is output, flashes red to mark the start of a bar, and green for other beats.

Using the metronome

Use the CLICK key above the transport keys to turn metronome output ON and OFF. When ON, it operates according to the selected metronome mode.

In FREE mode

A click is output according to the tempo and time signature set on the FREE METRONOME screen. The CLICK indicator flashes red on the first beat (accent) of each bar, and flashes green on the other beats. FREE METRONOME screen 1 Press and hold the CLICK key to open the FREE METRONOME screen.
2 Set the tempo with the TEMPO item between 20 and 250 BPM. 3 Set the time signature with the TIME SIG. item.
In REC mode or REC&PLAY mode
The FREE METRONOME screen does not appear if the metronome mode is set to anything other than FREE or if the SMF player is ON (see "SMF playback" on page 90).
During recording in REC mode, or during recording or playback in REC&PLAY mode, a click is output according to the tempo and time signature set on the TEMPO MAP screen or based on an SMF. During click output, the CLICK indicator flashes red on the first beat (accent) of each bar, and flashes green on the other beats. When there is no click output, the CLICK indicator lights orange.

Tempo map

Creation of a tempo map is necessary to change tempo or time signature in the middle of a song.
Set the metronome to any mode other than FREE and turn the SMF player OFF when using a tempo map.
1 From the SYNC/MIDI menu item, select TEMPO MAP and press YES/ENTER. The TEMPO MAP screen will open. This screen shows a list of tempo change points in the song. The second and following lines show each tempo change in the song, with the change point (bar and beat) and the new tempo. These settings can be changed. If the tempo of a song never changes, there will only be one line. At the bottom of the screen, the time signature of the line currently selected by the cursor is shown (please see the next section, Time signature for details about how to set this). You can input up to 9999 tempo changes in one song. Tempos can be set between 20.0 and 250.0 beats per minute.

13 General preferences

There are four sets of general preferences that you can make in order to customize the 2488MKII to your working style. Access all of these through the PREFERENCE menu.

Global preferences

These all affect the overall operation of the 2488MKII. meters hold the value for a second or so and then drop back, or KEEP, where the peak value is always shown on screen until this value is changed. You can also press the HOME key when the SHIFT indicator is lit. Use the cursor keys to highlight the parameter, and the dial to change it.
TIP The KEEP setting is useful if you want a permanent record of the highest value, but you cannot keep your eyes on the meters during the whole take or rehearsal.

Meter release time

Key sense time
Some of the keys on the unit have two different functions, depending on whether they are pressed and released in a short space of time, or whether they are pressed and held down for a longer period. The pitch control is a good example of this. If the PITCH/SSA key is pressed and released briefly, the pitch control is turned on. If it is pressed and held for the time set here, a screen appears allowing you to make the settings for the pitch and the slow speed audition functions. The setting for the key sense time is from 0.3 to 2.0 seconds, in 0.1 second steps. The factory setting is 0.5 seconds.
The meter drop-back time can be configured to be from 30 ms to 100 ms in 10 ms steps using the cursor keys to highlight the parameter, and the dial to change it. Note that the meters are always peak meters, and the rise time is fixed.

Shift key behavior

The SHIFT key can be used in one of three ways, as set by this parameter:
AUTO SAFE: This is the factory setting. The SHIFT
key functions for a few seconds after it is pressed. It becomes inactive after you press another key or when the shift indicator light goes out.
HOLD: The SHIFT key remains active after you press it until you press another key or press the SHIFT key again. UNLOCK: The SHIFT key is active only when you press

Meter peak hold mode

The meters shown on the home screen and other pages can be configured to hold the peak value. This parameter can take the following values: OFF; where the meters do not hold the peak value at all, ON; the peak
and hold it down as you press another key.

Mixer preferences

There are three options here:
REAL : if the internal fader level is changed using a
scene change or a MIDI Control Change, this is ignored. The actual physical fader is the only way in which the fader level is set.
JUMP: the internal fader level jumps to the level set by the physical fader as soon as the physical fader is moved. Since this can result in sudden changes in volume, resulting in possible damage to hearing and monitoring equipment, this option should be used with caution.
