Tascam DP-004 Pocketstudio Review from Acoustic Guitar

[MrRDiggity]

audacity is a terrible sounding program though...if you want simple but good sound atr least go adobe audition/cool edit!

[macca4prez1]

Great review. Thanks, Teja.

[saborboricuapr1]

Does it have equalizer ???? Reverb for the tracks, etc... ???

[MrLukasDiSparrow]

is it good to record sound outdoor? Like im interested in using it for sort films?

[somenun]

@MrLukasDiSparrow hey! it might be too late. but i bought mine for films aswell and it works great!

[Hogand04]

I'm looking at getting on of these for my university dorm.

Just wondered, does it have built in effects? Like reverb etc?

[eightyeightthousand]

@Hogand04 No effects, but you can easily hook it up to your computer and use computer software (such as the free program AUDACITY) and work with that. Audacity is what I use, because it's free, but free doesn't mean cheap. It has reverb as well as many other effects, options, possibilities.

[INFORISISY]

@Hogand04 I heard the 008 had some.

[Zfender67]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Would of been a good bit of kit but unfortunately having no Headphone Output Socket rather lets it down big style. it's hardly a pocket studio is it, if you have to use your computer to get any sound out of it. You might just as well use a good bit of software like Steinberg and save your money here.

@intruder369 First of all the unit has got a headphone output jack socket and records in amazing sound quality the internal mics are seperb ,second I wonder how can people still keep revieuwing gear without physicly testing it DUH.

[intruder369]

@snareplukker Yes sorry it does have an Headphone socket after all, my mistake it's just that the review here totally ignored it, and it did not look like there was one on it at all by this demonstration. So it looks like there is value for money here after all. Incidentally had I had been wanting one for myself I would of certainly had a demonstration of it in the shop, but I was asked by a friend to find them a decent 4 track for £100, this was slightly more but worth the extra penny's.

@intruder369 This video is part of a longer review in the print and online editions of Acoustic Guitar magazine. The full article, which is noted in the video's description, mentions all the specs, including the headphone output.

I have an acoustic electric guitar. Can I hook that to this in order to get a clear guitar sound?

[lejoe48]

is the line output stereo? thanks.

[davidt3400]

Nice thumb nail dude. 2:31 sec. Finger nail clippers man.

[jeddrizzun]

I think he is a guitar player.. DUH!

[mike8storm]

why would he need clippers?

[CitizeninsaneGA]

@davidt3400 its for playing guitar

[97warlock]

The mixing/uploading has me confused,bad ............If you upload it,ya cant mix it .........so it has to be Mixed B4 it gets uploaded.......But then what? it isnt Mixing TO anything. It needs to be recording onto something as your mixing,I thought? ?

[boabstewart]

@97warlock it downloads the tracks individually to your computer then upload each track to your recording software,cakewalk, cubase etc. there is free software avalable too.

[MusicBySav]

@boabstewart what is the free software available?

[potbellysincebirth]

if i linked it up to an ipod and recorded a backing track/song to it then later on wanted to layer vocals over the top of the song is it possible?

[TheDVDGamer]

just connect the headphone out of the ipod to the input of the tascam

[kennylin3208]

i think it has two mic at the bottom and its better than the ipod one..D:

the only thing i dont know about is if it has reverb as one of the effect

[staffansvahn]
