DP24 Settings carried over to the new song - Reset to an unknown state

[Steve-o]

I talked w. Tascam, & played with the unit.
yes press SAVE.

1. Song 0001 eq'ed, assign, etc, partially mixed.
Press save.

2. Create new song ie: song0002
Do factory reset.
Now song0002 is ready to go.


Thanks all as well, took a lot of research.

Well, I hear you - and yes that will work. But for clarity's sake... that is not what I described above and this ignores the (good) idea of using a "factory reset template song".

And, just to be clear about this machine's save function... you can press the save button as often as you'd like (I do) - but when you power "Off" the machine it auto-saves all your settings for that song (and they will be there when you open that song again) whether you push the save button or not.

And one other minor point about the factory reset - whether one uses a saved "template song" or not:

After a factory reset... when you go into the Assign screen, at the bottom, you'll see that all 8 inputs are already routed to the stereo bus by default. Might be just me - but that bugs a little. So I turn all 8 of those input-to-stereo bus routings off - and then save my reset song that way.

I'm still waiting for that 'lightbulb' moment from Steve - forget the damn factory reset
