Failed to Record Music
585837
DID NOT WORK ON MY SYSTEM. I have a TEAC CD-RW880 and these disks refused to work on my system. I've been recording LP records onto CDs and these disks failed to operate on my recorder. Very disappointed.

After receiving  this item  I had never tried to record anything on it, I only played tapes. When I decided to record on it the recorder would not record after numerous times.  I was very dissatisfied with this item.

Worked once, that was it.  I got the music loaded on it, and it played.  I listened to and that was it.  It refused to play any more.

The unit i received does not record or play above 44100.  There is no support for this issue. It is without a doubt not worth it.

So it seems that I'm unable to record audio. I get my video to preview on my screen but no matter what I select I'm unable to get audio through the device. It also appears that there might be an issue with the software as some of the options that I should be able to select are just not there (i.e. several drop down menus with no options until I switch another option off and then back on again). Wrote support for the enclosed software. I hope they get back to me. Not holding my breath as the software packaged is not even listed on their website as current or legacy.

Multiple failures within the first 12 hours. Set it up at 6pm, did a test recording on USB stick, which played back fine. Programmed to record something at midnight. Next morning it would not turn on. Unplug, plug in again, turns on, but nothing recorded on USB stick.

Surprise!  This card does not support "What You Hear", a vital feature if you want to record off your computer.  Piece of garbage.  Of course, I learned this after the fact, who would expect an Create SoundBlaster to specifically EXCLUDE this feature?

I bought this unit and was very impressed with the ease of use and the professional sound quality. I was able to make a recording within a couple of hours out of the box. The problem I had was that at some point during either recording a track or playing back a track, the unit would completely freeze and produce a heavy static sound. There was no place in the manual that talked about how to reset the unit and the off button wouldn't even shut things down. The only way to shut the unit off was to pull out the power and then plug it back in. Once powered up, if you tried playing your track, it would freeze and produce the loud static. So, when I pulled out the plug and powered up again, I figured out that I can undo and go back to the last recorded track before the unit crashed. Therefore, you would lose whatever track you last worked on which was obviously frustrating. I tried buying a 2nd brand new sd card from tascams recommended list and the problem still existed. I wanted to give it a second chance since I liked this unit so much, so I decided to buy a second one, figuring this particular one was just defective. Now, to be neurotic, I bought a second unit from a completely different website in case this one was part of a bad lot. The problem still existed with the second unit purchased and a third SD card that I tried in hopes that it was purely the SD. I returned both units.

Clearly there is a software/firmware problem. I called Tascam to alert them of what I experienced with 2 brand new DP24's from 2 independent web sites and they were not very helpful. They basically told me to return both units and wait for a software/firmware update. They could not tell me a general idea of when that would be but said sometime in the future. However, they admitted to being aware of a problem with this model.

Bottom line: wait until they resolve this issue and then this will be a great model. Has anyone else experienced this and have you figured out a work around?

I wanted to use it for background music for a small video I created, but it wouldn't allow me to copy and paste it into the audio track.

Device failed before I loaded the first data (music). Returned to Amazon for credit since the player has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I think mine MUST be defective, because it turns every record I've tested into some experimental "Merzbow" album. I tried multiple records on two different speakers (1 receiver; one portable), but both times it converted the music into an obscure "Man is the Bastard" e.p.
*Due to laziness, I didn't get around to setting up my record player until AFTER return period ended, but it would be dope if Pyle saw this and replaced it with one that didn't turn my music into an unreleased "Lightning Bolt" recording.
