Tascam Comprehensive Guide for 2488neo: Save, Revert, and Erase Songs

7 − Recorder

Saving a song

The function described here saves the song to disk.

1Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen. Use the cursor keys to select the SONG item, and then press the YES/ENTER key.

2At the SONG menu, use the cursor keys to high- light the SAVE option. Press YES/ENTER.

As the song is saved, appropriate messages are displayed. The current song will be reloaded after it has been saved, and you can resume work on it.

NOTE

When you load another song or shutdown the 2488neo, the work done on the current song is auto- matically saved. However, power failures, acciden- tally unplugging power cords and other accidents that cause a loss of power may cause recent song data to be lost. For this reason, we encourage you to save your work frequently, especially after important recording, editing or other work.

Reverting to the previously saved version of a song

If you have saved a song and you want to return to the ver- sion of the song at the time it was last saved:

1Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen. Use the cursor keys to select the SONG item, and then press the YES/ENTER key.

2At the SONG menu, use the cursor keys to high- light the REVERT option. Press YES/ENTER.

3The 2488neo asks if you are sure. Press YES/ENTER if you want to throw away all changes since the last save operation, otherwise press NO/EXIT.

CAUTION

You will lose all recordings and edits made since the last save, and they will disappear from the undo list. This revert operation is not undoable. Be sure that the work you have done since the last save operation is really work that you do not want to keep before reverting to a previous version.

Erasing a song

To free up space on a disk partition, and delete a song or songs, you should perform the following operations:

1Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen. Use the cursor keys to select the SONG item, and then press the YES/ENTER key.

2At the SONG menu, use the cursor keys to high- light the ERASE option. Press YES/ENTER.

3Select the song or songs to be erased using the dial to highlight the songs and the INSERT key to place a check mark beside them. If you select a song for erasure by accident, use the DELETE key to deselect it.

4Press YES/ENTER to erase the selected song(s).

5The 2488neo asks you if you are sure. Press YES/ ENTER if you really are sure that you want to erase these songs.

CAUTION

This operation cannot be undone. Erasing songs is a permanent operation. Always think carefully before you erase a song or songs.

NOTE

This menu can erase only the songs stored on the currently-selected partition. If you want to erase a song or songs from another partition, you must select it first.

If you have selected all the songs on a partition for erasure, a new song will automatically be created after all the existing songs have been erased.
