TASCAM DM-4800
User’s Manual
Before you start
The DM-4800 organizes your settings in projects.
Projects include snapshot data, effect settings,
dynamics processing and EQ settings, as well as
automation data, and are stored on the CF card.
Until you create your first project, you cannot store
your own settings.
TIP
Create a project before you first start work with the
DM-4800, so that you can make full use of the library
and automation functions.
Details of how to create and manage projects are pro-
vided in “About projects and libraries” on page 34.
Special notes for touch-sensitive faders
The usual rules regarding precision electronic equip-
ment naturally apply to the DM-4800. In addition,
note the following that apply to the touch-sensitive
faders:
• The faders need a human finger to operate their
touch-sensitivity. Do not use a pencil, ruler, etc. to
operate them. Even using your fingernails may not
activate the touch-sensitivity.
• The humidity and temperature of your environment
affects the touch-sensitivity of the faders. Under
normal working conditions you should experience
no issues. However, extremes of temperature and/
or humidity may sometimes cause operational
problems.
