Twenty-five
years after the introduction of the first Portastudio™, the new DP-01
8-track Digital Portastudio makes hard disk recording affordable and
simple enough for all musicians. Continuing TASCAM's "Capture
Your Art" campaign of making recording approachable to all musicians,
the DP-01 features the one-knob-per-function design that has made
TASCAM cassette Portastudios the choice of thousands of musicians. It
shatters the confusing page-shift-menu interface popular with most
other digital recorders. And at a price that starts under $400,
multitrack recording to hard disk has never been more affordable.
The
DP-01 has two mic inputs on ¼" TRS jacks for dual mono or stereo
recording. Its eight tracks record at uncompressed CD quality to an
internal 40GB hard drive, and a stereo master track is available for
recording a mix. Each channel of the DP-01 has a 45mm volume fader,
plus dedicated controls for pan, effects send, high EQ and low EQ. An
LCD display shows meters, editing settings and locate points. The DP-01
has a USB 2.0 jack for file backup and transferring mixes to a
computer. There are analog RCA line outputs, a headphone out and S/PDIF
line output.
