TASCAM X8 SERIAL NUMBER DATE AND FW UPGRADE

[prenez]

Hi folks, just picked up a Tascam Portacapture X8.

I just upgraded it to the latest firmware. It was at 1.33 now its 2.01.

I'm now reading with alarm about the ultrasonic sound on higher bitrates. Uh oh. Was this firmware dependent, or build date dependent?

Serial number on the box is 2410093. Can we tell the date from that? As in 2024, October, the 9th, or the like?

This is the Recording 101 forum.

As you can see from the threads posted here, the Recording 101 forum focuses on tracking, mixing, and mastering topics associated with multitrack recording.

But if you go to the home page of this web site, you'll see that each of the forums has a description of the forum focus. Perhaps you can find a forum there dedicated to your Portacapture X8 and search that forum for the information you need.

There isn't one. That's why I posted it here.
