TASCAM Hi-Res Editor
Windows & Mac DSD / WAV Editing Software
TASCAM Hi-Res Editor is a new, free application for Windows and Macintosh computers, that plays and edits up to 11.2MHz DSD or 384kHz WAV files. The software allows playback and export of DSD files without converting to PCM audio. This app is available now as a free download for Windows and Mac. Ideal for users of TASCAM’s hi-resolution recorders like the DA-3000, TASCAM's Hi-Res Editor is one of the only ways to edit native DSD master recordings.
Where to Download
The TASCAM Hi-Res Editor is now available for download free of charge.
Editing high-resolution DSD/PCM files possible
Editing high-resolution DSD (DSF/DSDIFF) and PCM (WAV) files with up to 2 channels (mono/stereo) is possible. DSD formats of 2.8–11.2 MHz and PCM formats of 44.1–384 kHz and 16/24/32-bit are supported. As for the DSD files, import and editing of the file are possible as DSD formats. In addition to converting between DSD and PCM formats and different sampling frequencies, basic editing functions such as trimming and joining files. These editing functions are all available on the Home Screen, and the simple, easy-to-understand operation screen enables intuitive use.
Conversion of audio file formats and sampling frequencies, for example, possible
PCM files can be converted to DSD formats and DSD files can be converted to PCM formats. Sampling frequencies can also be converted as desired.
*Quantization bit depth can also be converted for PCM files.
*Press the EXPORT button on the SCREEN to access the file conversion function screen.
Combine function allows two files
Two audio files can be combined into one file if they have the same file format and sampling frequency/quantization bit rate.
*Press the COMBINE button on the Home Screen to open the file combination function screen.
With waveform display possible, intervals set with in/out points can be changed and saved
The waveform for the loaded audio file is shown on screen, and the time and level axes can be zoomed. Markers at the top of the screen can be moved directly while viewing the waveform to set trim in/out (start/end) points for the file to be saved. When saving, the desired file format and sampling frequency, for example, can be used. In addition, short fades can be added to in/out points when saving intervals.
Editing with just a computer possible
TASCAM Hi-Res Editor allows editing with just a computer and makes it unnecessary to connect a playback device to monitor audio files. In addition, by using USB to connect a playback device that supports DSD such as the TEAC UD-501 USB DAC or HA-P90SD portable headphone amp/player, playback of DSD files from the computer is possible.
Splitting a DSD audio file that was recorded without track divisions into individual tracks
When making long recordings with a DA-3000SD, it is possible to use the track incrementation function to split the file at the desired points to create separate files for each track. If a recording was made without splitting it into tracks, however, TASCAM Hi-Res Editor can split a file into multiple tracks without using a DAW.
Combining long recordings that were split into multiple files due to size limits
In 5.6MHz DSD recording mode, a file can reach the large size of 1 GB in 11 minutes. This can result in the maximum size for a single file being exceeded when recording orchestras and other long performances. When recording with a DA-3000SD, a new file will automatically be created if the file size exceeds 2 GB. Using TASCAM Hi-Res Editor, files split this way can be combined into a single file.
Converting an audio file recorded as DSD to PCM
After recording at high-resolution 5.6MHz DSD using a DA-3000SD, this application can downconvert the resolution or convert to a PCM file format to suit other playback requirements. This allows recording of high-resolution master files that can be used to archive audio without needing to worry about how the file will be used after recording.
Audio from vinyl records can be split into files by track.
PCM audio files recorded for archiving using a turntable, which has USB digital output, can be split into tracks with TASCAM Hi-Res Editor. Furthermore, by converting audio to DSD, tracks from records can be played back on the TEAC player, which support DSD.
