Transfer Tracks from (3) Tascam DA-88 to Pro Tools
Hey Everyone,
So I need someone who can help me with transferring data from 3 DA-88s to Pro Tools. I read some GREAT information from another forum; however, I have some unanswered questions/some things that do not connect. I have the Sync i/o, 192, DA-88, and Pro Tools. I also have a Tascam IF 88ae... to my understanding we do not need it, but maybe it can help with something? Just throwing that out there. Can someone who knows about this post on this forum and we can start a discussion for myself and others wondering about this stuff? Or do you know someone I can talk to that can help? It's difficult to find information about them on the internet. Would appreciate it very much! I'll post my questions once someone gives me the go ahead! Sincerely, Waldoctg |

Re: Transfer Tracks from (3) Tascam DA-88 to Pro Tools
OK, thanks a lot! Here are the questions.
1.) We have a Tascam IF-88ae, so I am wondering how we can use this in this setup. Is it necessary at all? 2.) On another forum, a user said to do set up like this:
Here are my questions: Regarding the DA88 --> TDIF --> wordclock from 192 -(back to)-> DA88...
Regarding the Timecode from Sync I/O --> DA88... How do I hook up sync i/o to DA-88? Would it be through the RS-422 (I think the same as SMTPE) cable? A bit of clarification would be great. This is what the back of the DA-88 looks like. There is a sync card. http://www.farviewrecording.com/pix/DA-88-AB.jpg Thanks so much. |

Re: Transfer Tracks from (3) Tascam DA-88 to Pro Tools
You can have the 192 clock to the TDIF cable and still transfer over that same cable if you want. I have don't hours and hours of transfers like that and they come out fine.
The 75Ohm resistor in the BNC-T is for recording INTO the DA-88, which you won't be doing. You can put it on, as it won't hurt you, but if you have the DA-88 be the clock master and have your 192 sync to the TDIF input (or AES if you use your IF-88) then you will be golden. You are going to want Pro Tools to slave the the DA-88's time code, it just makes life easier. Randall |

Randall's suggestions are good
I would look at borrowing or renting a 192D or 192 w/ an extra Digital Card to capture all 24 tracks in one pass

Please clarify:That means I'll go (OUT) WORD SYNC on the DA-88 --> (IN) EXT. CLOCK on the 192 using a BNC cable. Right? So regarding the Sync I/O... I should go: (OUT) TIME CODE (RCA) on the DA-88 --> (IN) LTC (XLR) on the Sync I/O using a RCA (male) to XLR (female) cable. Please clarify: this means I am using the timecode from the DA-88 instead of PT. Right? Quote:
Actually, this leads into my next question. So I will need to get an an extra digital card so I can run two of the DA-88s to the digital cards and the last DA-88 to the analog card. Right? Also, I'll need three TDIF to (8) 1/4 jack cables , or just three normal TDIF cables... Just saw what Randell said... I'll just use the TDIF cables. Last edited by Waldoctg; 12-31-2013 at 12:57 PM. Reason: Just saw Randell say, "...I have don't hours and hours of transfers like that and they come out fine." Got it! |

Re: Transfer Tracks from (3) Tascam DA-88 to Pro Tools
any one 192 has 16 inputs so you could add a Digital Card to your 192 if you can find one and do 16 tracks but to do 24 tracks you need 2 192s
you could run tapes 1 & 2 then run 1 & 3 only recording 3, you need 1 to keep TC correct I would run WC from the DA-88 to the Sync I/O and have Pro Tools TC chase record the DA-88s

Why can't I just use the analog card on my 192 as well as two additional digital cards?
