TASCAM's 32-track Digital Portastudio!

An all-in-one recording workstation, the TASCAM DP-32 Digital Portastudio packs the flexibility of a fully loaded DAW into a single piece of ultra-reliable hardware. With eight individual input channels, the 32-channel DP-32 lets you easily track entire bands. A studio's worth of onboard effects, signal processors, and mastering tools, gives you everything you need to polish your tracks to perfection. And thanks to its intuitive master section and full set of hands-on controls, producing music with the TASCAM DP-32 is as fun as it is rewarding.

TASCAM DP-32 Digital Portastudio Recording System at a Glance:
  • Enough simultaneous inputs to track the whole band
  • Loaded with fun onboard effects and powerful built-in signal processors
  • Intuitive channel-strip-style controls make tracking and mixing easy

Enough simultaneous inputs to track the whole band
Track the whole band at once, with the TASCAM DP-32 Digital Portastudio. The DP-32 comes loaded with eight individual inputs. Each input is equipped with an XLR-1/4" combo jack and a microphone preamplifier, complete with phantom power for your condenser mics. That means even if you use a handful of microphones on drums and a few more on guitars and bass, you'll still have inputs left over on the DP-32 to track vocals.

Loaded with fun onboard effects and powerful built-in signal processors
No studio is complete without quality effects and signal processors. That's why TASCAM loaded their DP-32 Digital Portastudio with a ton of studio-style tools. Record with vital processors such as equalizers, compressors, and limiters, as the DP-32's onboard guitar-amp-simulation engine adds real amplifier sound to your instrument input. You can sweeten your sound with reverb, chorus, and other enhancements during mixdown. What's more, the TASCAM DP-32's powerful onboard mastering effects let you get the most out of your final mixes.

Intuitive channel-strip-style controls make tracking and mixing easy
Why wade through tedious menus for the controls that should be close at hand? TASCAM built the DP-32 to be both powerful and intuitive to use, with none of the frustrating awkwardness that plagues over-engineered gear. The DP-32's simple master channel-strip section gives you hands-on controls for your channel EQ, pan, and send settings. There's also an easy-to-read color display that gives you instant feedback as you tweak your channel settings, effects, and processors, as well as dedicated controls for all essential recording functions.

MY TASCAM DP-32

Man this board is awesome! I use it as my backup studio. So tired of updating software everytime a pc goes from 32bit to 64 bit.
Not going to buy all new software again so this is my solution.

I used to own the dp-24 and loved it. Had to sell due to financial problems.

When the Tascam DP-32 came out 6 months later and I was financial again then I knew right away what I had to get... read more [+].

If silent recording is what you want then this is your baby.

No software issues, driver updates

This gives me the scope to up my own playing skills by practise.

This is basically a little mini mixing, recording console and portable.

Did I say the price is 899 and the service is top notch from Sweetwater.

Dennis Konocki is my sales engineer and he has never let me down with any purchase or advice.

Be placing another order very soon Dennis and it could be another new product from Tascam.

I have owned Tascam products since I was 18 and technically and sonically have never been disappointed.

Had small problem with optical reader not recognizing cdr's, but Sweetwater techs had a new unit to me overnight! Happy about that one! Everything seems to be spot on at this point.

So far so good . After a month of playing around with all the knobs and features I am very pleased with the unit.

I am using outboard preamps before the input with great results on both vocals and guitars. The internal effects are a bit limited but sound fine . I use external effects anyway and this is the rub...You cannot send a stereo track for processing only mono through the TS sends. However this is not a dealbreaker for me and overall the machine has exceeded my expectations and then there is the price....do you remember when an 8 track hard drive recorder was 10k ? I do ..... I still have it too . close [-]
