I want to know how to set up a master on my tascam dp02

What Tascam recorder are you using? If you are multitracking you will be unlikely to be able to use this mixer. Otherwise get a phono lead to fit the tape out and suitable connections for the Tascam recorder at the other end. This will allow you to record the main mix but unless you are a solo act or putting everything through the PA this will probably be pretty useless to you.

I'd say the click track starts from exactly when you hit play even if you've hit play not right on the beat. There might be a setting or preference that can fix this.

Try rewinding back to be right on the beat and see if it syncs with the click

Hi, Provided there is a tag on the back showing the units model number, on that same tag should be the power requirements for it-buying a universal power supply, or even a used working one to another piece of equipment is acceptable as long as the polarity is the same. Polarity is located right next to where the power supply plugs into the unit. It will be a " circle with a dash inside it with a line connecting to a C looking symbol with a line coming out of it connecting another circle with a plus sign inside. " that is a typical outer ground/inner positive marking. a power supply will be marked the same. If they match the polarities are the same. Next make sure the power supply says the proper DC voltage and Milliamps or amps-Ma/A example: 2400Ma, 2.4a. I hope this helps and thank you for asking FixYa, good luck and don't forget to write back and let me know how I did, Prodzilla.

You can download a manual from the tascam site for this model. as long as you pre-named your songs, they should show in the menu without mastering. You cannot burn any songs without mastering your songs first, however. They will not appear in the create cd section for this very reason.
Record, master,burn.

Yes, you should be able to go direct into the recording input if your guitar has a preamp in it and the 2488 may have adequate gain to even accept the input from a passive guitar.

Here is a link for you to look at:http://www.tascam.com/products/2488mkii.html Look under resources to download the manual or a Beginners Guide to Recording.

This is a common problem and I would recommend searching the forums on VSPLANET.com where they have all sorts of info and discussions about recording.

Are you transfering from one disk to another on your computer? There is a possibility that the format of the original disk is not being recognized.

Read page 19 under Monitor section.You have to assign the signal to the monitor output you want. Page 36 has the details. All the info you need is here with some updates:http://www.korg.com/product.aspx?pd=191

Yes, if you have "line out" from 788. You will need appropriate cables to attach to PC sound card.
