Makes it easy to record ideas, straight to SD
Recording your ideas and building them into full productions has never been so easy! The DP-008 from TASCAM builds on TASCAM's years of recording expertise, putting cassette-style recording into a modern digital format. There are no complicated menus to control simple tasks — with dedicated knobs for per-track level, pan, and effects, plus handy record, pause, and play buttons, you'll be developing your ideas in no time.
Built-in microphone plus connections for your own gear
For capturing ideas with no fuss, the DP-008 has built-in stereo microphones. But, the two XLR microphone inputs (with phantom power) allow you to plug in your own recording microphones for high-quality capture. There are also two 1/4" inputs, one of which is switchable to accommodate your electric guitar or bass. All in all, you can record up to two tracks at once, mixing everything down to a stereo track.
Handy onboard features: tuner, metronome, reverb, and more
The DP-008 gives you handy "extras" to help your recording projects along. You can use the tuner to get your guitar where it needs to be. There's also a metronome built in, so you can get everything in time. If you're recording yourself, you'll dig the 1/4" footswitch input — with it, you can punch in to fix a track, without having to get your hands on the DP-008. Other cool features include a stereo reverb effect (on a send/return path), and an included 2GB SD card.
USB connection for simple file transfer
Once you've recorded your tracks, you can send them to your computer via the DP-008's useful USB connection. You can either send your mixed down stereo version, or you can send the individual tracks for producing them in your DAW of choice later.
