This is a REALLY easy product to use, I have to say the Tascam engineering team did a good job on the UX, which is sadly the part that's often lacking (most step sequencers, I'm looking at you!). The sound quality is superb, it's very solidly built and the screen is both informative and clear, as well as colourful. I use two of these in different locations, one 24 track and the other 32 - the only difference is the number of tracks and sliders, otherwise everything is identical. Use of a mechanically way superior SD card is another good engineering choice, I'd rather have something bigger that's way most resilient than the great-for-phones, but you never want to take them out MicroSD cards, which are way too fragile for removable storage. The SD card sits snugly away behind the display and you can't inadvertently record without the SD card in place unless you intentionally choose to override it. In addition, the good news is that once you've recorded your tracks, you can mix them down to a single stereo track, pop out the SD card and easily load them onto a computer for uploading or sending to someone. If I had to be picky and find a negative for the sake of it, I'd say the sliders are the weakest feature, but not a negative. Like all sliders, they have a little lateral give, but nothing sloppy, and the sliding mechanism itself is silky smooth. And I'd prefer sliders on a mixing desk anytime over knobs, which admittedly are more solid. All in all a great purchase at the price I bought mine for. Comparisons with a DAW: Sure, you can't do all of the crazily extendible things a DAW offers, that's a given and where a DAW wins. But if you love to record live rather than fiddle with a mouse for hours; or spend weeks wondering how to do something that should be simple but isn't with a DAW; or if you want an all-in-one recording solution to take on your travels or holidays to let you get down your tracks and mix them to a more than satisfactory level; or, if like me, you don't want the clutter of a Mac or PC, or just hate staring at small screens getting neck ache, then this is the device for you. Solidly recommend both the 24 and 32 track versions.Read full review

The tascam dp32sd is such a compact but brilliant tool to have. Relatively easy to work once you get your head round certain things that are all explained in the manual. I found the tutorials on YouTube very helpful with getting started. Once I got to grips with it, which wasn't very hard, I've had hours of fun with it. The quality of sound is fantastic and I'm about to start recording several tracks with a band I'm in. The effects are brilliant and can really make a difference to your overall sound. For the money I paid for the studio, I couldn't be happier!!

Once I had obtained a suitable memory card, I was able to start recording immediately, it really is straightforward to use.
