Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (7 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Quality Home Recorder"
Overall: I purchased this recorder for my 12 and 13 year-old boys. In a matter of weeks they were rocking and rolling with this piece of gear. Setup is a breeze. Mixing, Mastering, EQ, Compression, Assign, mute and Reverb are just a few of the awesome features we've employed with this gear. The ONLY negative with the recorder for me is the copying, moving, inserting, etc. a bit of a challenge because identifying locations is about time and not bars/measures. Nonetheless, I would purchase this again as the above mentioned issue isn't much of an issue at all as I do most recording on a Korg sequencer and then drop that to the TASCAM.
Style of Music: We play all types of music but Christian and Jazz is the music of choice.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Right Tool For The Job"
Sound: The sound is plenty good enough. If you want to tweak every last feature of the finished sound on every last track, you obviously need a bigger box or a computer (you can upload your tracks). If you're trying to lay down perfectly good tracks without a lot of setup knob-turning and mouse-clicking, the DP-03 is for you. Feature: Ease of use and high-quality sound and control are the most noticeable features. Has the usual reverb-by-channel, EQ-by-channel, etc. Ease of Use: If you record at home, and you like to play and sing more than you like to navigate menus, the Tascam DP-03 is your best choice. After 2 computer-based systems, 3 or 4 digital home-recorders, a cassette-based portastudio, and a reel-to-reel-based home recording system, this is the FIRST box I actually enjoy using. The learning curve is near zero. Almost any function (assign input-to-recording-track, tuner, mixdown, metronome, bounce tracks, phantom power, save your work, not to mention track-by-track EQ and reverb) take only 2 or 3 button pushes. Plug in and record. 8 tracks to work with. If you write songs frequently, you'll be delighted with the lack of set-up time needed. And it's got enough horse-power so you can produce a presentable finished product. Quality: I've only had it a few weeks. So far the construction seems solid. It would be foolish to guess on the unit's longevity. Value: If other items were this easy to use in relation to their horse-power, it would be easier to rate their price compared to this one. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it yet. The Wow Factor: It depends on what you want. If you want to tweak every parameter on every track, you should rob a bank, and then get a computer, software, and an analog-to-Midi computer interface box. If you want to record your vocals, guitar, base, keyboard and drum tracks shortly after you dream them up, and be able to mix it all down to nice-sounding full-band arrangements, get the DP-03. Overall: If I was filthy rich, I'd still use this unit to record full-band arrangements, and then turn the tracks over to my staff to do the million-copy studio work.
Style of Music: Blend of hard-rock, gospel, big-band swing, blues, country, classical, and Zydeco
