Overview

25 years after the introduction of the first Portastudio, TASCAM makes hard disk recording affordable and simple enough for all musicians.

The TASCAM DP-01 Digital 8-Track Portastudio features the one-knob-per-function design that has made TASCAM cassette Portastudios the choice of thousands of musicians. The DP-01 eliminates the confusing page-shift-menu interface popular with most other digital recorders.

Designed to be as uncomplicated to use as TASCAM's other Portastudios, it's a breakthrough product for musicians who are ready to get into digital recording.

2 mic inputs on 1/4" TRS jacks for dual mono or stereo recording. 8 tracks record at uncompressed CD quality to an internal 40GB hard drive, and a stereo master track is available for recording a mix. Each channel has a 45mm volume fader, plus dedicated controls for pan, effects send, high EQ, and low EQ. LCD display shows meters, editing settings, and locate points.
