  • If you hear any distortion or clipping it's probably my fault, I had the level turned all the way up. Still not a good sign though! Sounded great through the device itself, but when exported to WAV made my speakers distort, and couldn't fix it in Audacity.
    5:10 is where the audio from the tascam starts

    In the mid 80’s I bought a Tascam 4 track which recorded on to cassette and it cost me $850. I used mine quite a bit over two years until it was stolen. You got 100x more machine for a quarter of the cost. Enjoy your new toy!

      Even better than a quarter of the cost--that $850 is roughly $2500 today! I have been fascinated with the Portastudio tradition since learning that Bruce Springsteen recorded his best record ever, Nebraska, with a Teac 144 and two SM58s. The march of technology and the drop in prices means I finally can afford a happy childhood. The digital Portastudio series is a glorious array of machines. Even the 32-track version costs at most 2 to 3 times what this one does.

      I've gone through a couple of zoom multitrack the last 15 years, I'm getting this to give it a shot. Amazing to see what they can pack nowadays into a little unit.

    Hi.from Japan.
    I have the same model. It's very simple, and easy to use. And the sound is good.
    I love Tascam.
    And I'm a big fan of Randy Newman.

    Hi everyone thanks for the comments. I had no idea how to mixdown or master when I made the video!!! Forgive the awful mixing on the song. This is a powerful little machine but takes A LONG time to learn how to use

  • @CemetarysNeighbor

    The 008 runs on 5VDC(2A) with positive center pole (+). Third party power supplies work just fine if you keep polarity in mind.

    I like how there is a back light on this one the DP-006 that I have doesn't have that so I have to have a light shine it so I can see if I want to work at night. The auto punch feature is nice.

      @@patriciofernandez2711 it's basically combining multiple tracks into one, basically overdubbing. So hypothetically, you have an infinite number of tracks overdubbing the original track.

    Reverb adds liveness to things sounding flat and can also soften things sounding too harsh. It can give a sense of wider spaces. It has a lot more uses to than to cover up badness, and I think its pretty necessary, even if its just a little.

      there are 3 playback volume controls: track level knobs, master level knob and (on the back) headphone jack volume wheel. also, when you recorded did you adjust the trim knobs to see good levels in the vu meter, and did you assign the correct input sources using assign and input setting procedure.
