5–Song Management

TASCAM DP-004

This unit manages data in song files. Ordinarily,

every song is given its own file. The first step is

to load the song that you want to manage (load an

existing song or create a new song).
In a song, in addition to saving the audio data for

the recorded multitrack (tracks 1–4), stereo master

mixes that have been created are also saved.
This chapter, starts with an explanation of SD

card partitions, and then covers basic operations,

including procedures for loading songs and creating

new song, as well as various song management

functions.
For more about SD card management, see “9–SD

card Management” on page 81.

Partitions and songs

This unit uses SD cards to record songs. SD cards

formatted by the unit are divided into partitions.

“MTR partitions” are for the recording of data

and “FAT partitions” can be read by a personal

computer. SD cards with high capacities are

formatted with multiple MTR partitions.

When you want to record, playback or edit a song,

select an MTR partition to make it the active

partition and load a song on it or create a new song.

Selecting the active partition

If you want to use a file that is on a partition other

than the currently active partition in order to load an

existing song or create a new song on it, you must

change the partition.
Follow these steps to select a partition on an SD

card that has multiple MTR partitions.
