Tascam DP008

The Tascam DP008 is a breeze to use and is suitable for those who are starting out for the first time in the world of multitrack digital recorders.

A compact, sleek design with a logical layout and interface, the DP 008 represents Tascam's legendary recording quality and innovative ideas, with an array of built-in useful tools and storage to capture a band rehearsal or performance.

This is an eight track model which captures two tracks simultaneously via its built-in microphone (useful for putting song ideas together), or your instrument can be plugged in directly in to one of the eight channels.

A metronome and tuner underlines the fact that the DP008 is really useful as a guitarist's digital recorder, who may also have a drum machine and a bass guitar too.

With separate EQ on each channel as well as reverb effects and panning controls, your mix can be recorded very quickly and easily before being exported as a digital WAV file.

 All the important inputs/outputs are featured (headphones out and stereo RCA line outs), and these 16-bit (44.1kHz) recordings can be saved to the supplied SD card if necessary.

Alternatively, USB 2.0 connectivity allows for streaming into a computer, ready for CD burning. Brilliantly designed all round, the DP008 is also surprisingly low cost!
