Product ReviewsTASCAM DP01FXCD Portastudio Digital Recorder

Decent older unit

This unit is very good for what it is. Use the proper procedures! Always read the manual and this will last a long time. The drawbacks, as everyone else always reports, is that there's only 2 inputs that can be recorded at a time, and there's no back-lighting for the LCD screen. The effects leave a lot to be desired, but there are a few usable in there.

The one thing that I cannot stress enough about this unit is to treat it like a laptop computer. It is a sensitive piece of equipment with a hard drive and with real potentiometers. Most of the complaints that I have seen are from mishandling of the unit. It's not meant to be thrown around, or left out on a table and things thrown onto it, or pulled off of a table, or bounced on a bed when recording or saving content. All of these things can and will either damage the hardware or corrupt the unit. Follow all procedures in the manual for shut down and connecting via the USB.

This unit is great for a 1-man band, but not for recording a full band that is all rehearsing at the same time. I recommend it for the person playing in the bedroom and wanting to get ideas down. Even if you get something great, the tracks can then be exported to the computer and uploaded into a DAW for further working or more tracking.Read full review...

Great recorder for the money

I had the 32 track at one time, but this 8 track is a great little recorder.
