When in Multi Track mode and the recorder is stopped, press the BOUNCE button. The Recorder switches to Bounce mode. 4.
7 - Recorder Functions 3. Turn the JOG/DATA dial to change the time (the speed that the time changes corresponds to the speed that the dial is turned). 4. After setting the desired time value, press the PLAY (t) button to start playback from that time. Locating a specified bar/beat directly In BAR mode, in the same way that you can locate a specified time directly in ABS mode, you can locate a position by specifying a time in bars and beats using the following procedure.
7 - Recorder Functions If a stereo track is selected, the displayed track (odd or even) changes each time the SELECT button is pressed, and you can monitor only the displayed track. 4. Use the CURSOR (g/t) buttons to increase/decrease the horizontal zoom (time) as necessary. Press the CURSOR g button to decrease the horizontal zoom (time), or the CURSOR t button to increase it. You can also use the CURSOR (5/b) buttons to increase/ decrease the vertical zoom (audio level).
7 - Recorder Functions 3. Use the CURSOR (5/b) buttons to select (highlight blue) Jump Back, then use the JOG/DATA dial to set the jumpback time. Options: 1 Sec to 10 Sec, 20 Sec, 30 Sec (default: 3 Sec) While playback is stopped, hold the PREVIEW button and press the IN button to skip back the preview time and then play to the current time and stop.

Press the SELECT button of a track you want to assign a virtual track to when the Home screen is open, and then press the VIRTUAL TRACK button.
8 - Track Editing In the past, editing recordings made on tape recorders required advanced techniques, but with this unit editing is easy and accurate. Moreover, unlike with a tape recorder when an editing error could not be undone, this unit uses non-destructive editing, which means you can edit without altering the original data so the undo function can be used to correct an edit easily. (See “Undoing an operation” on page 39.) Basic editing procedures 1.
8 - Track Editing ªª IN/OUT/TO COPY/INSERT To change the IN/OUT/TO points, exit the TRACK EDIT screen, and set them again as necessary. IN OUT TO IN OUT TO ªª TARGET Track This is the track that is edited. In the case of OPEN, CUT, SILENCE and CLEAN OUT, the source track itself is the target track. The options depend on what you have set for the SOURCE track. When the SOURCE track is ALL (all tracks) , the TARGET track must also be ALL (all tracks).
8 - Track Editing MOVE/PASTE OPEN (Insert Silence) IN OUT TO IN OUT IN OUT TO IN OUT The audio data between the IN and OUT points on the source track is removed and pasted on the target track from the TO point. This operation leaves a silence between the IN and OUT points on the source track. This operation overwrites recorded data on the target track. Therefore, the length of the target track is not changed. The following parameters are used in this operation.
8 - Track Editing SILENCE (Erase Part) IN OUT IN OUT CLEAN OUT (delete track) Use this function to completely erase the selected track. This function cuts (deletes) the audio data between the IN and OUT points on the selected track. This deletes the entire track, so the IN, OUT and TO points have no effect. This creates silence between the IN and OUT points, as though there had been no recording. The following parameter is used in this operation.
9 - Using Internal Effects This chapter explains the dynamic effects, guitar effects, and send effects that can be applied to individual mic and guitar inputs. You can select one of four types of dynamic effects (COMPRESSOR, NOISE SUPPRESSOR, DE-ESSER, EXCITER) for use with all inputs (A to H). Guitar effects This unit has multi-effects for guitar. You can insert and use these effects on tracks. The library settings of guitar and send effects can be used for other songs.
9 - Using Internal Effects Adjusting guitar effects You can edit the parameters of the selected guitar effect. The parameters differ depending on the effect type. Using send effects Press the F3 (SELECT) button to select the effect that you want to edit. You can send input channel or track signals to the send effects. Set channel signal send levels and whether the signal is pre or post fader on the Mixer screen. (See “Sending signals to internal/ external effects” on page 36.
10 - Mixing Down and Mastering Songs Mixing down tracks Mixing down tracks is the process of adjusting the volumes and stereo positions of each recorded track and combining them into a well-balanced stereo track. Including recorded tracks (32 maximum) and inputs (8 maximum), you can mix down up to 40 total tracks. Levels and balance Use the track faders to balance the relative levels of the tracks. Then, use the STEREO fader to adjust the overall level.
10 - Mixing Down and Mastering Songs Send effects This unit has three types of send effects. Adjust the level of the signal sent to the effect from each track by using their SEND EFF 1/EFF 2 knobs. NOTE Adjust the RETURN LEVEL on the Send Effect screen. 1. Press the EFFECT button to open the Effect screen. Setting the start and end points Before creating a master file, set the start and end points to be used for the mixed down master file.

The recorder switches to Mastering mode and the Mastering screen opens.
10 - Mixing Down and Mastering Songs When in Mastering mode, you can use the PLAY (t), STOP (8), REW (m) and F FWD (,) transport buttons to monitor the playback signal as you adjust settings. Use the MID Q knob to set the resonance (width) of the MID FREQ band. ªª Step 3 - Record a new master file using the mastering tools. Press the EQUALIZER ON/OFF button to turn the equalizer on or off. Setting range: 0.25 to 16 (Default: 0.

Menu item Function Reference Use the PREFERENCE menu to change various settings to optimize the unit for your use conditions and requirements, as well as to restore the factory settings. Jump Back Follow these steps to open the PREFERENCE menu.
11 - Various Other Functions Setting the song name format Use the Song Name Type item to set the format used for song names created by this unit to WORD (default) or DATE. WORD: The characters set are used for the beginning of the song name. Example (set to “TASCAM”): “TASCAM0001” DATE: The date is used for the beginning of the song name.
12 - SD Card Management The recording files are stored on SD cards. Depending on the capacity of the SD card, the card is formatted using the FAT16 or FAT32 file system. SD card capacity File system 512 MB to 2 GB FAT16 Above 2 GB FAT32 Moreover, this unit is compatible with SD card write-protection, so you can write-protect your cards to prevent accidental deletion by formatting them. (See “About write-protected SD cards” on page 24.
12 - SD Card Management Full formatting an SD card Use the FULL FORMAT item to completely format an SD card. Using FULL FORMAT erases all files on the card and automatically creates new MUSIC, UTILITY and AudioDepot folders, as well as the dp-24.sys file that is necessary to use the card with this unit. Using Full Format, memory errors are checked during formatting. A full format takes longer than a quick format. CAUTION This operation erases all the data from the SD card. This operation cannot be undone.
13 - Exchanging Data with a Computer By connecting this unit to a computer using the USB cable, you can backup song data from an SD card in the unit to a computer and restore backed-up song data from a computer to the card. In addition, you can export track files and stereo master files from songs to the computer, as well as import audio files from the computer to the unit. Backed-up data can be restored to a different DP-32SD unit than the one that created it.
13 - Exchanging Data with a Computer folder. You can, however, delete an entire Song folder if you no longer need that song. Disconnecting Follow these procedures to disconnect the USB connection correctly. CAUTION When transferring data, do not disconnect the unit or remove the USB cable. Doing so could cause data on the computer or this unit to be damaged. NOTE When disconnecting from a computer, the procedure on the computer might be called “eject”, “unmount” or “remove”.
13 - Exchanging Data with a Computer • When the file name is short, spaces appear after the file name, but those spaces are not included in the actual file name. 7. Use the JOG/DATA dial or the CURSOR (5/b) buttons to select the track to be imported, and then press the F4 (t) button. A confirmation message appears. By checking multiple boxes (4), you can export more than one track at once.
