That seems to be in the midi time sync functions. In cakewalk under options find the midi settings and choose midi device. All of you clock and sync settings should be there. Also I think under the audio menu there are settings for folders and I think a tab for sync is there as well. I use Sonar, which is an upgrade of cakewalk but used cakewalk for a long time. I have it on another computer and will look later to see if I am forgetting something or remembered it wrong and let you know.

Never go from a PA (powered (amplified)) speaker signal to the inputs of a recording device. This can severely damage the electronics of the input/preamp. That error code may be getting caused by something else. For more details on how to use digital ins:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF

do you have the metronome turned on if so turn it off. the clicking is your bpm measures .

Only if you are using microphones that require phantom power- otherwise no.

Several of my music programs seem to have a limit of around 2Gb for a track... this is inspite of having plenty of disk space... this seems to be a limit set by the program rather than the resources available.

I recommend contacting Tascam at this link:http://tascam.com/contact/support/ Describe your problem. As far as I can tell there were some problems with the media you could use.

Here are some good links for you:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ( Audacity is a free recording program ) also:http://www.reaper.fm/ ( Reaper is the software I use and is full featured and worth the licence fee and free to try) also:http://www.recordingreview.com/ ( excellent site to answer all your recording questions.

If you are trying to copy disks that are copyrighted, the unit is likely locked out with copy protect firmware from doing copies.

I would vote for a power supply issue on this one.

You can use headphones or monitor speakers that are hooked to an amp. If you don't have one ,consider downloading a manual:http://www.tascam.com/i-3582-232-128-1-4A000F90.pdf Pay attention to the caution on page 9 and the hookup diagrams are on pages 12 and 13. Hope this helps.

The most likely case is that one of the main output transistors (if which there are many) is shorted. When the protect circuit senses DC on the final output, it will not allow the output relay to come on to protect the speakers from raw DC. With the power removed, you can check between each outputs Emitter and Collector and you will probably find close to zero ohms. From that point you need to unsolder each of the pins of the bad channel until you find the shorted device(s) and replace them.
