Technical Documentation PRODUCT OVERVIEW
TASCAM's CD-450 is an advanced CD player optimized for studio and live applications. The combination of searching for track and index IDs, a call function for auditioning start points, and the incremental play function combine to help you find the right cue quickly, and prevent the next track from playing at the wrong time. Pitch control helps keep the pace of the sound appropriate for the production. Plus, the digital output is handy for use with DAWs, digital mixers, or simply rearranging tunes to a digital recorder.

APPLICATIONS

The CD-450 CD player is designed to fit a number of live and studio applications. It is durable enough to survive the daily grind of broadcast situations, and full featured enough to serve in both live and studio applications. Live Theater - Dance Studio In live situations, the audio engineer typically has a lot going on at the same time. The CD-450 actually helps by automatically performing routine tasks. The Auto Ready function will automatically put the player in pause at the start of the next track. (No audio run-over to the wrong track.) If you are pulling custom cues, the Call function also helps you check your cue before playing it for the audience. Pitch Control is very useful for extending slightly short cues, or for helping dancers turn a dragging tempo into a good groove. Recording Studio - Post Production The CD-450 has standard SPDIF digital output, so it is ideal for transferring audio from CDs into DAWs or digital recorders. Often times, sound effect CDs will have numerous versions of a particular sound effect on a single track ID that is separated by index IDs. (ie Telephone rings could all be on track 37, with rings recorded from an old fashioned bell phone, digital phone, cell phone, office phone, fax machine, etc. each on their own index ID.) Locating the effect by index greatly speeds up Foley work. Plus, with quick play response, the CD-450 often can be used to drop the sound effect in directly. Radio - Live Broadcast In radio work, you want the music to start as soon as you hit play on your broadcast audio console. The CD-450 response to broadcast standard fader start messages, and can position itself right on the starting edge of the music. (Most CDs have approximately a quarter to a half second gap from the start ID to the audio start. Cue to music starts you at the audio, not at the track ID.) As with live theater work, Auto Ready is also handy to automatically stop the machine when the track is done.
