  • I am having a good time with my TASCAM DP-01FX hard disc recorder. It's really fun to be able to record multiple track and blend them. Guitars and basses are scattered about the area as I use them on different tracks. I am not totally satisfied with some of the tracks and will probably re-record them. I have not yet figured out how to actually change or move something on a track without bothering the rest of the stuff on the track. I mean, the instructions are THERE, and they are in English, but I don't understand what they are telling me. It's like they left out a step or explanation.


    I do have the capability of uploading the finished file to my computer and then burning a CD. The problem is, the recorder and computer are about 25-30 feet apart and it would be a major project to move either one of them closer. I got USB patch cables from Circuit City yesterday with the assurance that they would be long enough. Well, they aren't. Not even close. So I will have to go back there today. I must keep an eye on the clock, however, because I am supposed to go to a men's church retreat this evening at 6:00 p.m. and I won't be back until tomorrow. I don't know the way there so I will have to follow others; the story of my life!
