8 track recorder that is easy to use. There are plenty of YouTube videos and the recorder comes with FULL printed user manual. This is becoming less the rule these days. You can download the manual if you wish.The quick start up guide takes you through the main features of recording, downloading to two tracks and mastering to .wav format.The quality of the internal microphones are very good but a good external mic will improve quality. You can also plug in electronic instruments directly. You can monitor as you go through wired headphones.The DP-008EX T provides a lot of options for inputs and outputs.All in all a good piece of equipment for anybody wanting to record more than one track with the advantage of being portable.

Excelente producto, no me arrepiento de comprarlo. Excelente resultado. Grabaciones con una gran calidad de audio. Muy buen precio para lo que estás comprando. Recomendado 100% manual en pdf en español dentro de la memoria

Tiene I a duración de baterías inigualable. Habrá que recordar que solos e pueden grabar 2 pistas al mismo tiempo, pero con la función bounce y varias iteración es podrás componer una pieza musical. También lo puedes usar para grabar alguna presentación improvisada, o bien tus prácticas personales. Incluye 2 micrófonos omnidireccional es bastante decentes, sin embargo la opción de entrega de poder phantom se hace extrañar, pues no podrás conectar un mic de condensador adicionalmente a la grabadora si no cuentas con la fuente phantom externa.

Muy buen equipo, hay que usarlo para ir encontrando virtudes y funciona muy bien para ensayos. Para lo que hace su costo es bajo. Buen micrófono de entrada. Quizás el "pero" sea que su volumen de salida es un poco bajo, pero se puede arreglar con una mezcladora. Lo recomiendo al 100%

Equipo muy práctico para grabaciones de muy buena calidad y muy pequeño para llevarlo a todos lados además incorpora dos micrófonos internos para hacer grabaciones en directo.

Un aparato realmente recomendable, excelente calidad en grabación y la entrega por parte del proveedor en tiempo.

Me da mucha pena pero el producto llegó muy bien pero con una falla de fábrica, lo devolví pero solo me ofrecen reembolso y ya subió de precio...

Non è un registratore a sei tracce simultanee, alla fine le tracce sono soltanto quattro (o due). Il funzionamento è abbastanza complicato. Gli input non sono molto sensibili. Costruzione assolutamente professionale. Va bene per la musica, per il parlato meno.

Los microfonos integrados son muy buenos, su uso es bastante intuitivo y sencillo. Excelente Producto, muy bueno para su precio.

Great for small-scale 'home studio production'. Incredible capabilities built in to such a compact device. Signal to noise ratio in the pre-amps is excellent. Used to have the 6-track cassette version of the portastudio decades ago; way more 'bang for the buck' in this version! Quality hasn't changed, it's less than half the size of its 'grandfather' and very rugged. Love that a final mixdown may be rendered without too much effort. The Phantom power feature on the XLR inputs enables long extension cords for on-site recording (using powered mics) without picking up much ambient EMF interference; good for live recording as a result. The display and firmware takes some getting used to, but it's logically laid out and uses protocols from the recording industry so learning how to use it is not a wasted effort as this may be helpful as you 'upgrade' your studio hardware and skills. Replaced the disposable batteries provided with rechargeable Li-ion cells with no decrease in performance. A 4-hour session drained the 2400 mAh a fair bit but they held up. If no replacement batteries are available, a quality power supply would be a useful investment. Best to get something 'Taskam approved' to cover any warranty if something goes wrong.Places semi-pro capability within the financial reach of those with tight budgets. Small enough to fit into a guitar case with the instrument as well!

UPDATE: I originally said the manual did not list the power consumption of this unit. That is not correct, I noticed that it does -- it lists the power consumption as 1 Watt maximum. That means the power adapter has to be 5 volts with no less than 200 milliamps.-----I have an old Tascam Porta 05 4-track tape recorder that I bought new in 1987. Yes, it still works fine after all these years. Hopefully the Tascams these days are as well made, we'll see! I bought this DP-006 to replace it, along with a 2x2 USB audio interface for use separately with at DAW. I got both of these together for a small fraction of what that old Porta 05 cost me back in the day.It's a great little machine. The manual is very good and thorough (don't lose it!). It had me up and running in no time. I started downloading and installing the DAW software for my USB audio interface, and this always takes forever -- these are multi-gigabyte downloads. Add to that the time it takes to install and update the drivers for the USB interface (which gave me trouble), and it easily can (and did) take pretty much the whole day. And then you have to learn the DAW. Meanwhile, while the downloads were going, I had plenty of time to go through the Tascam manual more than once, learn its features, and even put down a six track recording (vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drum machine, and ukulele). It even happened that one of the ground wires inside my electric bass had come lose, and I resoldered it -- got it all in before the DAW (mine was a 30-gigabyte monster).So, it does take a little time to learn the features of the Tascam, but when you put in perspective, it hardly seems too much to ask.The great feature of this Tascam is its extreme portability. Also, it's great to lay down basic blues, rock or jazz rhythm tracks to practice soloing and improvisation, for example. Or also to record yourself conveniently so you can listen back from the observer perspective and notice things you might not pick up on when you're concentrating on performance. It's very handy.Others have remarked about the power cord, well this is one thing that SHOULD have changed over the years. It was a bad deal back when the Porta studios cost hundreds and hundreds, but even worse when you have a $79 unit. They still price them at $40 a piece. You can get cheaper non-Tascam ones, I paid $9.99 for mine (hasn't arrived yet tho). Disappointingly the manual does not list the power requirements, but rooting around on the Internet I found the specs of Tascam's adapter.They are: 5V 2000mA 10W Max Tip Size: 2.5mm x 5.5mm (Inner diameter x Outer diameter). The pin on the connector is positive. So the adapter is capable of putting out a lot of current. I doubt the DP-006 uses the full 2 amps at any time, but as a rule you don't want to run anything under-amped. You do need a 5 Volt adapter. Having more amps available than necessary is fine, but you don't want less.That's asking for trouble, so unless anybody can say what the actual engineered current draw for the DP-006 truly is, I wouldn't recommend running any adapter on it that's not 5 Volt, 2 Amp. That's a change for the worse, my old Porta 05 4-track did list out these kinds of specifications in the manual. [UPDATE: The manual DOES list power consumption after all. It's listed as 1 Watt maximum. That means you need to have 5 volt adapter that can handle at least 200 milliamps.]This thing does put down its own filesystem on the SD cards, one that Windows or OS X can't read. So, there is a conversion step that has to happen when you export your songs or tracks to the computer. People have complained that it takes too long. I tried it with my one recorded song, and I didn't think it was too bad. But I did mix and master it on the DP-006, as we do on the old Portas from before the age of the DAW. So I only had the finished song to export, no biggie, not six separate tracks.I saw some comments where people said the onboard mikes weren't sensitive enough. You can set their level, though. They have three sensitivity levels: low, mid and high. Default is low. I had them on low, and I found them to be more than adequate. Quite nice actually. In fact, the air conditioner unit kicked on outside when I was doing my vocal track. It doesn't make a lot of noise, just a new low hum. I didn't think the DP-006's mikes were going to pick it up, but dang it they did, had to re-take it.I tried out a few additional features, the metronome and the chromatic tuner. The metronome is useful, helping you synchronize things. It will appear in your headphones, but not in the recording (unless you tell it to show up in the recordings). I couldn't get the tuner to work, but I didn't give it too much time, this is undoubtedly user-error. I don't really need it. Still operating off the trusty old 440 A tuning fork here.I think it's a great piece of equipment. Well worth it.

llegó muy rápido y en perfecto estado, estoy muy contento con la tascam. lo recomiendo ampliamente, la calidad del producto es muy buena, la grabacion en mi casa es perfecta

If you enjoyed using the old cassette 4 track recorders, then you will find this is easier and better to use. The nuances of eq-ing, de-essing and so on have passed me by in this first week of use, but I've put together two passable songs in a very short period of time, bouncing down, mixing to multiple stereo pairs, using the very natural sounding automatic mastering function, transferring my mastered song to the FAT portion of the SD card.. the whole thing is so much easier than it should be. And no tape noise.People who complain about the proprietary format on the active part of the SD card probably bought the wrong recorder. This device is a stand alone device. If you wanted something to extract individual tracks and work with them on your computer, then this isn't it. And is the almost real time transfer to the FAT portion of the drive a problem? I don't think so personally. It's exciting - you've worked for hours on a song. Is three minutes while it processes such a pain?The internal mics are great. I was going to buy a mic, but honestly I don't see the point. I might get a vocal processing unit if such a thing exists, and if it does, I would get a mic. It would be nice to have the ability to do something with my voice outside of what this box can do with its fairly limited reverb. Still though - this box rules. Get an adaptor or you will be recharging like nobody's business.
