Tascam DP-008EX – 8-Track Digital Portastudio

Product Information

That means that one you've recorded those 4 trax, decided on reverb, panning, level, etc, and do the bounce...IT'S DONE and can't be changed. So when you end up adding new trax, they often don't play nice together. Which I've considered...I have a few songs I wrote that I consider decent material, even if I was too young, stupid/inexperienced,, and ill-equipped to bring to fruition. It works well out of the box, although in my opinion it needs a power supply and doesn't come supplied with one. Instead you have 4 alkaline AA batteries to get you started although it also uses rechargeable (NiMH) batteries. You can do a long day's recording on one set of batteries, so if you're a guitarist your fingertips will hurt long before the unit runs out of power! However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The reverb processor also has its own button to the left of the screen, and makes use of the four 'F' keys in the same way as the EQ. The options are simply Hall 1, Hall 2, Room, Studio, Plate 1 and Plate 2, with a Time option ranging from 0.2 to 3.2 seconds and a 0-100 level range. Sound & Usability

Dynamic effects on both inputs: Apply compressor, exciter and de-esser effects to your input sources Pros: Just about everything about it. It's a great way to get ideas down and the sound quality is very good.

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

The DP-006 and the DP-008EX both feature ultra light-weight designs to ensure portability. The DP-006 is 360g, and the DP-008EX is 610g. (Without AA batteries) The power supply is sold separately but is worth getting because although the 4 AA batteries make it portable and convenient to use anywhere, they only last about 5 hours of continuous use. I also bought a 32 GB SD card for it which enhances its capacity to hold lots of songs by a long way. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered

The DP-008EX can supply full +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, even when operated with AA batteries. (Notice: Operating time becomes shorter when used with phantom power supply.)

Locate features: Move to a certain time position, or return to zero or to the last recording position with one key press I bought a set of headphones to begin with for monitoring, but it is advisable to get monitor speakers as soon as you can. It makes the whole process so much more relaxed. This cookie stores user-like settings for the chat system provider, which are required for our online chat service.
