Tacam's DP02 makes recording simple by matching 8-track CD-quality recording with a Portastudio interface - so you can ditch the menus and concentrate on the music. A pair of record-quality Tascam mic pres feature XLR inputs with phantom power for condenser mics and a guitar in for direct recording. Learn More...

Feature:
I am not a fan of the effects built in, as they seem to lower the volume and do not produce well. Our guitarists have an array of pedals so this was not needed as well. My only real complaint is that there is no back up light to the lcd. This makes it almost impossible to navigate unless I am recording with either a direct light or in the daytime, which as most musicians know, is not our calling hour...lol.
Quality:
I have never had a problem that I did not create myself in so far as recording. It holds up well and the fact that I can burn directly is a nice feature.
Value:
I think the price is reasonable, but you have to spend time to learn to use it. It is very functional and practical, but it is important to learn about it.
Desirability:
Small, compact and user friendly.
Sound:
The sound reproduction remains pretty solid. I have read the other reviews, but pound for pound, I think it should be understood that it may have only two leads to record into, but the tracks can be 'bounced' to other tracks, allowing multiple recordability. Also, when our band plays, we can lead the two inputs into a simple P.A. head for full band recording.
Ease of Use:
I will give the ease of use a nine. It is truly plug and play. A new user can spend just ten minutes in the manual and start recording. Tascam is known for it's ease of use and this unit is not an exeption.
Support:
I have never needed to speak with a Tascam rep to resolve any issues.
Overall:
I have recently purchased a Peavy 24 channel board that also has a burner, so the learning continues! But the Tascam was a nice intro.

Feature:
I liked the effects and the ability to bounce tracks. Lots of control over the recording.
Quality:
Hard to say how it will hold up. I wanted to drive over it with a truck after I lost an hour's worth of live recording because it failed to record, but the owner wouldn't let me. Seem pretty sturdy, though.
Value:
Decent, when it works.
Desirability:
If I hadn't used one, I might have considered buying one because of its features. After using it, it lost a LOT of its sex-appeal.
Sound:
The recording quality is very good -- when it records!
Ease of Use:
For simple recordings it SEEMS pretty easy. The frustrating thing about it, though, is that there were several times when everything looked good -- meters were jumping, overload lights were blinking occasionally, the channel record lights were lit and the headphone sound was beautiful -- but on playback there was NOTHING THERE!!!!
Also simple things like mastering and transfer to a computer are buried under many layers of menus.
Support:
The manual is not too bad, but it jumps around and it's hard to find out how to do simple things. Tech support basically just shrugged.
Overall:
It sounds good and I suppose if you live with it for a while you'll get used to the menus and controls, but it's too easy to get burned with a non-recording. If the lights are on and the meters are happy, it should be recording. If it's not ready, there should be some indication of that.
