When getting your ideas down quickly is not enough . . .

TASCAM's DP-02CF Digital Portastudio has enough recording power to let you create a full production at 16-bit/44.1kHz CD quality. The DP-02CF combines 8-track CD-quality recording with a Portastudio interface.

The DP-03CF Portastudio's one-button-per function design is for musicians who want to record quickly and have fun! First record your stereo drum machine using its 2-track simultaneous recording and then use the line inputs to record bass and layer guitar parts. A song position bar/beat display makes it easy to overdub. Or if you re going the straight acoustic route (no drums) use the internal metronome to keep time.

Next use the low-cut filter two-band EQ and pan controls to make sonic space for your vocals which you can record with a high-quality condenser mic thanks to a pair of matched TASCAM preamps with XLR inputs and phantom power. There's also an EQ frequency button for finer control over the mix.

When you re happy with your tracks (and you should be happy with a DP-02) mix down to a dedicated stereo master track and save your final mixes to an included 1GB CompactFlash card (The DP-02 records two channels at a time to the card).

Finally you can transfer your tracks and mixes or backup your song to a computer through a speedy USB 2.0 connection for MP3 encoding or CD burning from your Mac or PC. Let the fun begin!

Be Indie and DIY!

That's right! You too can flip your hari to one side and record your own meaningless emotions that truly have an impact to your ex-girlfriend or mom! But in all seriousness, that's what this is great for. If you're looking to hang out in your room and overlay tracks to make yourself into a whole band, this is for you. It's a great device and does a lot for how much it is. I love it personally and am constantly using this to make up stuff or remember riffs. It's a great piece of equipment. It's a little annoying at times because you have to save tracks into certain areas or copy them just to do another thing. Annoying but do-able. If you can swing it, go with the big brother model. More money but more features. Rock on you indie kids. Rock on.
