Tascam DP-004, 4 Track Recorder
Tascam's DP-004 Digital Pocketstudio is based on 30
years of easy-to-use cassette Portastudios, updated with four tracks of
CD-quality digital recording. Like those groundbreaking Portastudios, a
row of knobs set levels and pan instead of a list of menus.
The DP-004 can record two sources at once to the included 1GB SD Card.
A built-in stereo condenser microphone makes it simple to record
anywhere you go, perfect for concerts, rehearsals and songwriting
inspirations. A pair of 1/4" jacks on the rear panel allow you to
connect your own microphones or sources. You can even switch the inputs
to guitar level for recording.
The DP-004 allows you to build up your arrangement until you've filled
up all four tracks. The Bounce feature allows you to consolidate tracks
and make room for more overdub layers. Also available is an autopunch
feature for fixing problems, track editing and an undo function.
