Hi!
I searched for posts related to USB cables and can't find any. My problem is that I just received my new Tascam DP-32SD about a week ago, and it did not come with a USB cable to import/export files in and out of my PC. I looked in the manual, and it says to use a "mini-b type USB 2.0" cable.
So I went to Amazon and searched for all their "mini-b" type USBs. All of them I saw were related to cameras (e.g. Nikon, Fuji, Olympus et al) but since they are indeed "mini-b type USB 2.0" cables, I figured they would work for the Tascam. Here is what I ordered:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716GVBQX
Unfortunately, it does not fit in the slot at all. I have tried many times and it won't go in.
Could someone point me to the correct one to order?
I have incredibly mixed feelings about this recorder. On the one hand, I have put together a couple of really nice songs... the latest using (so far) 10 tracks on top of the already existing song I recorded using PC software... just to learn ins-and-outs of the machine.
On the other hand, I spent the last few days going through hell to straighten out issues with the original SD card it was shipped with. If I did not have such a high opinion of Tascam from their 1990s PortaStudio days (when I could only afford a 4 Track Fosdex Multitracker) I would be tempted to return this and wash my hands of it. But if I ignore the Achilles heel of its import/export I absolutely adore the machine.
So if someone could send me a link to where the actual cable they are using with their own DP-32SD is sold (preferably Amazon or Musician's Friend) I would be forever grateful!
Thanks,
