I am by no means a home recording guru - as a matter of fact, I know almost nothng. I recently got a brand new Tascam digital portastudio DP-02, and I can't seem to get it to playback after recording a track. I've looked in the manual and can't find anything relating to this problem - it should be able to playback right after laying down a track. Any suggestions?

Also, I was hoping we could exchange resources for resources? I've found forums in the past to be a great place for finding out new websites, info, resources, etc.
Here's a couple I've found so far that have been useful, either to me, or people I know - and NO, I am not advertising for these sites - they're just organizations and what-not.

These guys hook up musicians and recording artists with labels, publishers, reps, etc. and offer a whole bunch of other aids/leads to get one's foot in the door.

They help indie bands and recording artists sell their CDs and albums/music online through a bunch of secure methods. I know a band that used these guys and were pretty happy.

So anyway, if anyone has any insight on the Tascam studio, please let me know, its driving me nuts.

PEACE
