Tascam DP-008 Digital Portastudio

Tascam culminates 30 years of Portastudio Recording with the DP-008, a portable 8-track Recorder for all musicians. Tascam's DP-008 is an eight-track recorder that captures CD-quality audio, two tracks at a time. You can use built-in microphones to grab ideas, plug condenser mics into the XLR inputs or plug a Guitar directly in to lay tracks. There's even a metronome and chromatic Tuner built-in for 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 DP-008 has its own row of knobs for level; pan and effects, just like the 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 DP-008 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.
