Importing old tracks

[Karl Brandt]

When I went to export some tracks from an old SD card (the original that came with the unit), I got a "file too big" when I went to hit the "checkmark" and export them to the Audio Depot. I checked and the files were the same relative size (8-15mg) as other tracks I had recently exported from my current SD card.

Luckily, I had backed up the entire song on computer. I put the current SD card back in the system, and created a new song. Then I copied the song and gave it the same # in my backup file as the new song, then exported it onto the current SD card in the "SONG" section.

I then exported the tracks from the "new" song on the current SD card, the checkmarks went in place without any problem. The individual track sizes were still the same.

I thought this might be helpful to others who ran into the same problem, but not sure why it happened. Possibly because the "older" SD did not have the current system updates??

I don't recall the capacity of the SD card, but it was full, as I first tried to copy the file.

Yeah, they used to ship with a 2GB card "just to get you started" as the original ad said. Later on when 2GB cards became unavailable, Tascam included a 4GB card. The truth is, some of the supplied cards have proven to be unreliable.
