Why does my Tascam DR-40 duplicate recorded files?
Hi all :] my first post here!
I have a Tascam DR40 that I use as my primary field recorder paired with an Audio Technica AT875R mic. I noticed yesterday that it duplicates files for some reason and labels the duplicated file with '4D10.wav' The duplicated file is exactly the same size as the original so am at a loss as to what this is for? Thanks in advance! Al |

Re: Why does my Tascam DR-40 duplicate recorded files?
Welcome to the board.
The DR-40 can be set to dual mode recording. This allows you to set one file for a higher recording level and the other file at a lower, safer level with more headroom in case the sound gets unexpectedly louder. It's detailed on page 46 of the reference manual. Last edited by Jay Massengill; March 23rd, 2017 at 01:15 PM. Reason: Specified "Reference" Manual for page 46 |

Thank you so much Jay - that was very informative (seems like a good option to keep on)
Alas I was sold the unit without a manual but will scope for one online :] Cheers! |

The manual as well as the latest firmware updates can be downloaded from Tascam.:
Product: DR-40 | TASCAM The 'safety' tracks can be set to either 6 or 12dB lower the mains. Instructions start on page 54 of the manual. |
