All user reviews of 4/5 for the Tascam DP-004

2 years of heavy use
3 models tested, zoom and boss
I like almost compact
I do not like the screen
I love the sensitivity knobs
do 2 entries to retain 80% of manual
4 tracks, 8 if we reflect mono and stereo in several passes
input levels are intelligently adjustable
the boss was too complicated every day, except for acoustic sessions, and the zoom was made to journalists or geek
an external power supply is a good idea to use a home studio, even if the connection is in a rare format.
I recommend to anyone who wants to start recording 2 minutes settings stopwatch in hand

+ Or anti-shock, do not play sports with either, it's not a player!
the screen is two colors, black and green, we would have preferred blue or white on black, good we made it
All components are of very good qualities, ca is the main reason for my purchase and I think here after 2 years.

I use it for one month

the +

The establishment of pieces is quick despite the sub-menus
we appreciate the wheel.
Internal microphones are acceptable trs.

The quality of the sound t CRITERIA Determines purchasing.
No blows my ear

I'm not all deep into the "micro-editing", I think
buy this recorder esprant enter the dtails is nonsense
However, this does not seem insurmountable with patience.

Minimalism and economy of 4pistes (even digital) tend to make more direct
and cratif: you get lost in the least opportunity.

The -

Your exact in-house is in good dmo; things
getting richer in return with the computer.
It is a great BMOL: The computer is indispensable in my opinion.
The audio output minijack is :-(

No EQ

No import stereo tracks: one has to make a version 2xmono

Batteries dpannent recorder but the house stays on several hours
So the PSU is a must

No effects

I always had ordis mac / pc and the hardware has the advantage of being more direct
but also more limited.
It lacks an EQ section, avoid the effects are on most products
of quality so we quickly made the mourning.

The simple ratio qualitprix me that I am the right choice.
