Tascam CD-450 プリント

Technical Documentation

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.

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.
