I NEED THIS TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Even with the advent of Digital Recording technology, the portable home studio is an essential part of any aspiring musician’s arsenal. Perhaps the most influential piece of recording equipment was the Tascam Portastudio, an indispensable tool for any band in the 80s. Responsible for millions and millions of demo tapes, it was revolutionary in that artists could record multiple instruments and vocals, then mix them down and record to a built-in audio cassette. Tascam gives the Portastudio a digital facelift with the all new DP-008, an all-digital 8-Track recorder that captures CD-quality audio 2 tracks at a time through built-in internal mics, or XLR inputs. Put in some AA batteries and you’ve got a powerful tool wherever you happen to find yourself.
