Track Import And Export; Importing Tracks - Tascam Digital Portastudio DP-03SD Owner's Manual

Track import and export

You can import and export individual tracks between a computer
and this unit's FAT partition. Files that can be imported/exported
as tracks must be WAV files (with the ".WAV" extension). You can
import both mono and stereo files and export mono files. If you
want to import audio into this unit that is of a different format,
you must convert it to a 16-bit, 44.1-kHz mono/stereo WAV file
first.

Importing tracks

"Connecting with a computer" on page 60).
2 Use the computer to copy WAV files on its drive to the

proper procedures and then remove the USB cable (see
"Disconnecting" on page 60).

other than 44.1 kHz. Such files are not displayed even if they
have been imported.
If no files that can be imported are on the FAT partition,
a pop-up saying Import File Not Found
appears.

the FAT partition, but those spaces are not included in the
actual file name.

to the designated track. The beginning of the file is set at the
start of the song (00:00:00:00).
In the same way as other recording tracks, you can edit the
track that has received the imported file (see "8 – Editing
Tracks" on page 44).
