Great Product, Horrible Manual, Decent Sounds
For years I owned one of these things, which I bought new. I finally wore the track selection buttons and volume knob off of it. When only four tracks worked, I decided to try a 24-track and alternate between using an interface with software such as Cubase, Pro Tools and Ableton. When all those became too complex for just recording a simple vocal and adding a few backing parts, I went back to using Reaper, Audacity and a couple of other stand-alone units. This one is by far the simplest to use. I can go into my studio and lay down a vocal track, easily replacing or re-recording not the entire vocal, but any part of it with which I'm not satisfied. I've been able to record four harmony parts for a song in an hour with under optimum conditions (no interruptions, knowledge of all the vocal parts, and enough ale to last an hour) with this. The DP01-FX also has several built-in effects for instruments and vocals, but I was better able to expand on those quite a bit by adding a separate (and also inexpensive) effects box. The cons with the unit I just purchased (used): Unit won't recognize my PC in order to transfer WAV files via USB. The PC won't see my recorder, either. In addition, the former owner left about 20 files - or songs - on it that, when played back, contained a really high-volume humming and crackling sound that led me to believe there was some sort of "potentiometer" problem within it. Ultimately, though, for the money ($70-120 used) this is a great deal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Tascam DP-01fx digital 8- track recorder
The last time I tried my hand at home recording... I remember it was a little 4-track cassette unit..I think fostex? That thing sounded like crap and I remember the warble from the belts. That being said this tascam dp01 is Miles ahead of that old technology... Thank you ..tascam! I took a chance and bought this used with original box and accessories..... Wow. I love this thing. The manual is pretty good at getting you laying down tracks very quickly. The sound of this recorder is so nice. Its makes me want to take the time and put my ideas down fresh. I have the manual within arms reach all the time...until I become used to all its functions. This unit has a 40 GB hard drive built in. No cards to insert and remove. I erased all the stuff the previous owner had saved. For under $100 I am more than happy with this unit. This one was in great condition andVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

"Easy Operation And Short Learning Curve"
This is a great unit for someone who wants to create songs by layering tracks. There are only two 1/4" inputs for recording instruments or vocals and only two tracks can be recorded simultaneously, which limits it's suitability for band recordings. If you've ever owned any multi-track deck, you'll find this one pretty intuitive to operate. The owners manual is logically written, easy to understand and actually helpful! The biggest asset of the DP-01 is it's 40 GB hard drive which provides lots of recording time and storage; no need to be chained to a computer for data transfer. A small outboard mixer is almost a must as the DP-01 has no XLR inputs or phantom power for condenser mikes. The one really annoying omission is the lack of backlighting for the LCD display screen. This requires the user to have a small desk lamp nearby if it's not being operated in direct sunlight. This is a simple and straightforward unit without a lot of bells and whistles, but with all of the essential features. I've only owned this deck for a short time but I'm already very comfortable with it. It's well designed and user friendly. With an E-Bay price tag in the area of $100.00, it's also a lot of "bang for the buck".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Module
For the money, the device is great. Cd/s are available immediately after mastering. Great for singer/songwriters or recording the whole band if desired. Still has the old knobs for hands on approach, while still remaining fully digital. Altogether, a great value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great multi- channel recorder
I didn't know what to expect but have been very pleased with this recorder. Had to go online to get manual but once I downloaded it, was able to walk right through set up and recording. I didn't think I could have got something this nice for the price I paid. Thank youVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Didnt work
I studied the product out before I purchased it, so I could learn how to hook it up and run the operations of this recording studio. When I got it I hooked it up as outlined and turned it on and it came on that's all. None of the other buttons worked at all. I then UN hooked the recorder and took it to a professional recording studio and let the engineer Damon downs look at it and he hooked it up and had me in the booth and told me to play and even he couldn't get it to work.the record button wouldn't start the recording or the self diagnostics wouldn't kick in. He stated I was scammed and ripped off.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Defective machine
This Tascam unit would not start running this morning. It will not turn on. The power cord is lit but the machine has no power when I turn on the switch. I also swapped out the power cord from my old identical Tascam unit and the machine would still will not come on. The phone jack was defective when the unit arrived but I could work around that. I can’t work around this. What is the process for getting reimbursed for the unit? Thanks for your help.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
