TASCAM DP01 Digital Recorder: 8-Track Hard Disk Recorder WIth Portastudio Interface

Tascam’s DP-01 Digital Portastudio makes hard disk recording affordable and simple enough for all musicians. The DP-01 features the one-knob-per-function design that has made earlier Portastudios the choice of thousands of musicians. It shatters the confusing page-shift-menu interface popular with most other digital recorders. And at a price under $400, multitrack recording to hard disk has never been more affordable.

The DP-01 has two mic inputs with “? TRS for dual mono or stereo recording. All eight 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. An LCD display shows meters, editing settings and locate points. The DP-01 has a USB 2.0 jack for file backup and transferring mixes to a computer. There are analog RCA line outputs, a headphone out and S/PDIF line output.
