DP01FX 8 Track Digital Multitrack Recorder with Effects

The new DP-01FX 8-track Digital Portastudio, introduced twenty-five years after the first Portastudio, makes hard disk recording affordable and simple enough for all musicians. TASCAM's "Capture Your Art" campaign of making recording approachable to all musicians is continued with the DP-01FX, featuring the one-knob-per-function design that has made TASCAM cassette Portastudios the choice of thousands of musicians. It shatters the confusing page-shift-menu interface popular with most other digital recorders, and at a price under $500, multitrack recording to hard disk has never been more affordable.

The DP-01FX has two mic inputs on 1/4" TRS or XLR jacks for dual mono or stereo recording, with phantom power provided for connecting professional condenser microphones. Its eight tracks record at uncompressed CD quality to an internal 40GB hard drive, and a stereo master track is available for recording a mix. Each channel has a 45mm volume fader, plus dedicated controls for pan, effects send, high EQ and low EQ, and an LCD display shows meters, editing settings and locate points.

The DP-01FX features a USB 2.0 jack for file backup and transferring mixes to a computer, along with analog RCA line outputs, a headphone out and S/PDIF line output. Additionally, the DP-01FX has a multieffects processor for adding effects to an instrument during recording and a reverb processor for adding effects during a mix.

• 8-track recording at uncompressed CD quality into a built-in 40GB hard drive
