This Guide to the Tascam HS-P82 and companion RC-F82 is intended to provide the new user a concise review of the operation and setup of this portable multitrack recorder, along with explanations and a suggested workflow for professional film/video applications.

It is not meant to replace the comprehensive Owners Manuals provided with the equipment, but rather to supplement those documents.

Part 1 deals with the basic setup of the recorder. Part 2 covers recording with the unit, stand alone, without a mixing board. Part 3 discusses using the recorder with an external mixer, and Part 4 deals with the use of the Tascam companion fader controller.
