Tascam DP008 draws upon over 30 years experience, from the company that started the Portastudio Recording revolution. Tascam DP-008, in-keeping with its portastudio heritage, is an easy-to-use portable, 8-track digital multitrack recorder designed for all musicians. DP008 offers CD-quality audio and can capture two tracks at a time.
Tascam DP-008 also comes with built-in microphones, so you can grab ideas on the fly, or connect your own condenser mics via the XLR inputs, or even plug a guitar directly in to lay tracks. There's even a metronome and chromatic tuner on DP008 to help you produce tight-sounding tracks. The DP-008 also allows you to digitally bounce tracks to make room for more, and touches like editing and undo make recording stress-free.
Each track on the DP008 has its own row of knobs for level, pan and effects, just like our classic cassette Portastudios of the past. The effects knob sends to a built-in stereo reverb processor with hall, room, stage and other effects. Each track also has EQ to tailor the sound for your mix. When your song is complete, mix it to a dedicated stereo track while riding levels and flipping pan as much as you want. You can export your mix, or even individual tracks, as a WAV or MP3 file.
TASCAM invented the home recording studio with the original cassette Portastudio. The DP008 takes the ease-of-use of those classic songwriting tools and adds portability, digital sound quality, effects and mixdown to bring home recording into the 21st century. Simplify your recording workflow with TASCAM's DP-008.
