TASCAM 2488neo 85
10 − File import/export
Importing from CD (mono WAV files)
The 2488neo can only read mono WAV format files from
the top-level directory (root) of a data disc with no other
files on the disc. Files in subdirectories cannot be imported.
When these files are imported, they are copied to virtual
tracks, which must then be assigned to physical tracks to
be used.
1 Insert the disc containing the files into the CD-RW drive.
2 With the transport stopped, press the MENU key to
open the MENU screen.
3 When WAVE IN/OUT appears in inverse, press the
YES/ENTER key to open the WAVE IN/OUT menu.
4 Select CD IMPORT and press YES/ENTER.
5 Use the dial (or the cursors) to select the wave file to
be imported, and press YES/ENTER.
6 Select the destination virtual track for WAV file
import, and press the YES/ENTER key. A confirma-
tion message appears.
7 Press the YES/ENTER key again to copy the WAV
file to the virtual track.
To cancel file import, press the NO/EXIT key instead
of the YES/ENTER key.
Exporting master tracks
You can export one or more master tracks to a computer.
The master tracks must all reside on the same TASCAM
partition. Master tracks are converted to stereo WAV files,
and sent to the FAT partition, from where they can be
copied to the computer. Regardless of the master track bit
depth, the exported stereo WAV file is 16-bit.

open the MENU screen.

select WAVE IN/OUT, and press the YES/ENTER
key to open the WAVE IN/OUT menu.

YES/ENTER key to view a list of songs with record-
ed master track.
4 Use the JOG/DATA dial (or §/¶ cursor keys) to

INSERT key to put a check mark by the master
track. You can convert many master tracks into
stereo WAV files and send them to the FAT parti-
tion at the same time by checking all the master
tracks that you want to export.
Use the DELETE key to remove a check mark.

A confirmation screen appears.
