So you've got yourself a multitrack recorder. Uh. . . now what? Like a black-ops rescue mission commander, you need to get audio in and out of your new recorder quickly, quietly, and with minimal hassle. Getting yourself "mission ready" is as easy as adding the TASCAM LaunchPad starter pack.
The home recording experts at TASCAM know how to get the most out of any multitrack recorder, whether it's digital or analog, TASCAM or another brand, four, eight, sixteen, or twenty-four tracks. The equation is simple. Start with a great recorder, then add:
A) A High-Quality, Versatile Microphone
Like the TASCAM Fox microphone. The Fox was designed by hobbyist microphone specialists MXL, and as a dynamic mic, is great for recording a wide variety of sources, including vocals, guitar and bass amps, horns, and even drums. Plus, since it's a dynamic microphone, the Fox doesn't require any external power for operation. You can use it just about anywhere and still make great-sounding recordings! Of course, you'll also need:
B) Accurate, Comfortable Monitor Headphones
And the LaunchPad Starter Pack includes a pair of TASCAM HP-VT1; totally studio-grade cans made especially for the home recording enthusiast. A pair of neodymium drivers with a frequency range of 20Hz-20KHz provide accurate recording and playback monitoring with low listening fatigue. The HP-VT1s are also comfortable and stylish, which never hurts. And Don't Forget:
C) Accessories
It wouldn't be much of a LaunchPad if TASCAM didn't also include all necessary cabling, so you get a 13+ foot XLR to 1/4" microphone cable. They've also thrown in a mic clip and a faux-leather carrying pouch that fits the TASCAM Fox perfectly.
Get your recordings off the ground fast with the simple addition of the TASCAM LaunchPad pack to any recorder. It pairs great with USB audio interfaces, too!
LaunchPad - The TASCAM recording kit includes headphones, cables and a microphone to help musicians start recording at an affordable price. Since revolutionizing home recording 25 years ago with the Portastudio, the name TASCAM has become synonymous with creative home recording. The LaunchPad is the ideal accessory for musicians to start recording with their TASCAM DP-01 Digital Portastudio, cassette Portastudio or USB computer interface.
Included in the LaunchPad are a pair of TASCAM HP-VT1 studio-quality headphones and a TASCAM Fox microphone designed by MXL, whose mics have found their way into a number of studios and hit songs. It also includes a mic clip, mic pouch and cable so you're ready to record right out of the box.
