Best Tascam DP-006 Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

I've bought this to record output from HX Stomp when I'm practicing, with backing tracks, getting lessons so I have everything recorded or just saving some ideas right there.. For backing tracks, I play from iPad (connected to HX) to two tracks (stereo linking them), then bouncing, and then playing just the guitar. This way I have two separate tracks. I know I can use HX Stomp and iPad with Garage Band or equivalent, but since I'm using Quantiloop, I can't record like I want to on iPad, so it's easier with this device. It's also cool that it can serve as a practice headphone amp. The headphones output is really clean, really sounds good. It has enough effects for practice, plus metronome/drums. I like that it's got a screw for putting it on a stand, so...

The first thing you notice about the Tascam DP 008 EX is that it is very small; barely bigger than a paperback book at about 8 inches by 5 inches. But it certainly packs a LOT of features into a small package. The unit is attractive and professional looking, with a bank of individual knobs at the front, 3 for each track: volume, left/right pan and reverb. The display screen seems very small at first but it is very easy to read, being back lit in a nice bright orange colour. It uses a series of menus to make choices in a step by step fashion, which you will quickly get used to. The power supply is sold separately but is worth getting because although the 4 AA batteries make it portable and convenient to use anywhere, they only last about 5 hours of continuous use. I also bought a 32 GB SD...

I use the Tascam DP-32 SD in my professional studio to mainly record accoustic music and to create jingles for websites or radio ads. My set up is very simple because the DP-32 SD is also a very straight forward portastudio and easy to use as its forbearers. I'm running the basic recorded instruments directly into the DP-32 SD, overdub, mix, master and than print directly onto the inserted SD card. The output recorded is exactly as recorded and all buttons and faders react exactly to how they are manipulated. The buttons have that loud noisy click sound when pressed and this is sometimes annoying when mixing silenty. Maybe Tascam should look into this loud button click sound. The available build in effects are simple to use but one need a bit time to fiddle around until you can really...

The zoom R8 is perfect to use as a very portable recording device, it easily fits in a guitar case or a bag. You can record on the go with the in-built mics that actually do a very good job, given the big number of pre-amp effects and plugging a guitar or bass. I often use it as a usb interface when recording on a computer and it has been very reliable as such... all in all, its my favorite recording device for its wide range of possibilities. I would recommend it for guitar practice / jam along device, 8 tracks portable device and usb interface...a great product!

Bought this as I am not a huge fan of DAW anymore. I didn't require all the features of a DAW like plugins and such. This unit gives me 16 tracks and an easy to use interface. I have a vision impairment and although the screen is a little small,it is perfectly usable. For me personally it's a nice compromise between old school tape multi trackers and digital ones. Very happy with mine. I would like to see an Android version of the wireless interface but the R20 alone gets 5s across the board. Nice job.

After having worked with DAW-software for a long time now, I thought it was about time to add this machine to my setup. I like the way it looks, I like the functions and I like the way it sounds. It is easy to use, just allow yourself the patience to work your way through the manual and you'll be fine. Working with a DAW has its pros and cons, the cons for me being spending way too much time editing, tweaking and what not, which was sometimes almost sucking the human feel right out of things. The Tascam is a great recording device to indeed have that 'live feel' to your recording sessions. For me, it brought about fresher ways of approaching the arrangement of a song. Great value for the money, so go for it!

What a great gadget....I was looking for something to get song ideas down and had tried other recorders but they didn't allow for multiple layering....this baby lets you stick down drum beats, bass parts, rhythm guitars and lead work and vocals and lets you master your work so it can be downloaded and burnt to Cd. Everybody knows what it's like trying to get new songs done via practices...well this lets you get a proper working demo which is absolutely brilliant. You can do live recording of work also with decent sound quality letting you hear how your band or yourself are playing. It's easy to use, with well laid out menus with enter and exit prompts so you don't inadvertently dump anything you wanted to keep, a multitude of boss effects and if you use a large memory card you can put...
