Product Review Portability is what sets this unit apart from my other taacam unit. I use both very much but always seem to leave the DP003SD at home while I end up carrying the DP008EX around woth me, because music and ideas happen where and when rhey happen... amd this portable recorder/mixer allows me to snatch those ideas right ip as soon as they happen. I love having both yhe 03SD and 008EX units at my disposal. They are both worth their price amd then some.

Product Review I had a DP-008 which I used until the play/rec buttons stopped working. This unit does everything almost exactly like it's predecessor. I noticed the clarity is better and the unit has a built-in Mastering function. The unit is the same dimensions and ports are in the same locations too.

Product Review I was smitten by the sleek shape and the capability of this device from the jump. I wasn't aware of how complicated it is to operate effectively for a newbie, so, I'm still debating spending time to learn it or trade it in for a more simple piece of equipment that even a novice can operate.

Product Review This unit is very easy to use and has a far better sound then some bigger recorders. Recording, bouncing, mixing and mastering are very user friendly. I was surprised of how much time was on the 4gb sd card recording 8 tracks.you cant go wrong with the price .Thanks Tascam and American musical.

Product Review Everything worked great, fat fingers wont help. sound was good, mics were good, easy operation. had it working for a few days, used the headphone socket to many times i guess..its the same problem with these small jacks that need unplugging on a regular basis.. I got the model 24.. soon forgot about the 300 i wasted on the portable..tho its a room mike now for the model 24, and maybe other tricks.

Product Review This digital recorder has proven to be a great recorder for me to extend my work from my home studio. It records all instruments via 1/4 " inputs, or the stereo external mics with good quality sound, and even has great mixing effects. I carry it in my backpack everywhere, so that my music productions are continuous. It enables me to transfer ideas, and tracks to and from my DAW. A very good investment.

Product Review I gave it 4 stars because I'm still trying to learn how to use it. I'm liking what I've learned about it so far, still much more to go. If you're an older rocker used to a 10" reel to reel like I am, it's going to take some time and effort to learn its' operation. It helps to be a teckno-wizzard.

Product Review Being a tascam four track owner back in the 80s I am so happy to see that they still keep it simple. Although it a long way since cassettes the layout is quite the same and the quality is amazing. Getting through a recording from start to master is a breeze do to the step by step layout and the sound quality is crisp and clear. I would suggest this little gem to anyone who's getting started and wants to learn the recording process, but don't be fooled this machine will produce cd quality masters and a boat load of fun!
