The Tascam DP-03 SD 8-Track Digital Porta-Studio is the latest Porta-Studio in TASCAM's 37-year progression of making recording simple and affordable for musicians. The 8-Track Digital Recorder captures your music at CD quality to SD/SDHC Cards, and a 2GB Card is included with the Recorder. With built-in Microphones, Effects and Mastering, the DP-03 provides everything Musicians need to record and share their music.

A pair of Stereo Condenser Microphones is built into the front panel of the DP-03, helpful for capturing a Rehearsal, Live Performance or Song-Writing ideas. Also included is a pair of high-quality XLR Microphone Pre-Amps with +48V Phantom Power for Condenser Microphones. ¼" Line Inputs are also available, and an Instrument-Level Switch allows you to record a Guitar or Bass without a Direct Box. A 3-Button Foot-Switch, the RC-3F, is available for control and punch in.

Routing the Inputs to one of the 8x tracks is simple, and you can record 2x at a time until you fill up all eight. A Tuner and Metronome are built-in for tight-sounding Tracks, each with its own dedicated button for quick access. Track can be edited with commands like Copy/Paste, Silence, Clone Track and Undo. Bouncing is also available, even bouncing all 8x tracks down to one or two. There's even the option to import a recording through USB or Audio CD.

Each Track has its own send to a Stereo Reverb Processor as well as 2-Band shelving EQ. Once you've perfected your mix with the 45mm Faders, Pan Knobs, Reverb and EQ, record it to the dedicated Stereo Master Track. Your Mix can be processed with Mastering Effects like EQ and Limiting for a tight, modern sound. When you're satisfied, transfer your mix to a Computer over USB 2.0.
