  • Worth the money

    As reviewed by Rich EW on 6/7/2010

    I have been looking to buy a multi-track recorder for a few years now. After talking to a person at Guitar Center, he convinced me to buy the Tascam DP-008. Took it home, read the Quick Start Guide and within 45 minutes I recorded guitar and keyboard tracks. (very easy) I took it back to Cleveland to record band practice, and the guys were blown away. They could not believe the sound quality that came out of this unit just using the built in mikes. Buy the power adapter. Good batteries only last 3 to 4 hours max. Thanks Tascam and Guitar Center.

  • simple operation/great audio

    As reviewed by David from Jacksonville on 5/6/2010

    I purchased the Tascam DP-008 as a portable backup to my much larger Tascam 2488. The DP-008 is very well built, and very simple to use. It reminds me of the old Tascam 4-track Portastudio cassette recorders. Simple, solid, and great audio replication in a very portable package.

  • Great Investment

    As reviewed by T Alfred on 8/9/2010

    For two hundred and change this is the best route to take for home recording in my opinion. Very user friendly, the DP-008 works more like its tape recording predecesors than overloaded DAW computer programs. Not much of a learning curve to have to get over, just set it up and play. My only recomendation would be to get the power adapter (or do a little research and find one comparable) because this thing will drain batteries like Forest Gump drained Dr. Peppers.
