@@ArtbooksReviewed You're welcome! And I totally agree with your personal 'assessment' of Zoom recorders. The're not *human friendly* at all... But well done on such a great review. And thanks again!
appreciate your honesty mate . I’ve checked and it seems you can , cause go left right , record on two channels and then pan left and right . Great video. I’ve brought this of the back of your review. I have an original tape one from 1998 , still amazing . Cheers . Speno
Great. Good to hear. It's a great little unit and I think for people who've experienced the tape version back in the day this is like a bit of nostalgia with vastly improved quality :)
Thank you, this is helpful. I probably want one of the bigger units with 12/16/32 channels. Ideally, I want to record MIDI too but having just moved from a Mac Mini with Logic 9 to a Macbook with Logic X I no longer enjoy using a DAW or a computer to record my music.
You should get the DP-24 or DP-32. They're the next two larger units in this DP line. I have this 03 and the DP-24. The DP-24 has a learning curve and a lot more under the hood. It's a nice sounding all in one studio. This DP-03 is great too!! Happy recording ✌
Great piece of kit and very easy to use compared to alot of mini studios and the sound is great i have my boss katana through it and plugged into either headphones or old technics amp and the reverb on it is brilliant for metal or clean.i also have an old keyboard plugged into it that i use for drums.
the song sounded great as well! your voice and harmony were quite damon albarny and the guitar was very ok computer/bends radiohead. I really liked it!
Thank you for the free course man. From that very memory card can you bring it to a studio in order to record a Master? Is it the sound fair enough when you listen to your song. Compared to a cd you buy in a record store on a scale of 10 how would you put the recording quality of the Tascam? Cheers and long musical life friend.
Hi..I have a question to ask you . I currently own a Tascam DP008ex ..great little machine and is the baby brother of the 03 sd ...but it has a problem that is irritating me . I use a condenser mic with phantom power ..which I leave plugged in . I also have a stereo keyboard with the two ( left & right ) channels plugged into the line in sockets ..but the problem is that if I want to record a vocal part ( using my condenser mic ) I have to unplug the keyboard line in jack(s) ? It will NOT let me leave the cables permanently connected ..This is driving me nuts having to unplug them every time ...( it's only a matter of time till one of the jacks break ) Does your Tascam DP03sd have this problem ? Thanks .
Great video, thanks. Any idea why I'm getting low audio output after Mastering? It sounds like the music is under a cloud of air. Why could this possibly be occurring?
I'm not familiar with this unit but if I was you I would take a close look at the settings you have on the mastering effects. Is it a limiter you're using, or some other compression type effect? Those usually have some kind of output level. Anyway, that's just a guess. Good luck. Maybe there's a tascam recording forum on the web where you could ask.
I recorded on the track 1. I wanted to redo it , ( a second take) but I cant' erase the first track. The button UNDO/REDO tells me that there no history. So, How can I simply erase a track.
@@JonnyRuncie Thanks. Someone told me just to write over the track and it erases the track like on a cassette. It works... My track was not long enough I guess.
Are you using the inputs correctly? Use input A to record on tracks 1,3,5 and 7. And Input B to record on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8. Also press the Assign button to see where the inputs are routed, A or B.
Thank you for the review. I was tempted to get one as an alternative to my Zoom R24, but the Tascam 8-track is so lacking in features. No drum patterns, and little in the way of effects for guitars, etc. I'd advise people to save up and by a Zoom R24 - twice the price, but a far, far better home multitrack.

Great review, it actually sounds really good - I honestly hate using PC/DAW and all that stuff.
Thank you for review. 6:54 I didnt get it: you can't record mic and guitar on the same track can you? Then why would we need the "mix" knob?
To be honest, I'm not sure! It's a while since I made that video!
*Absolutely great review!* Thank you so much for taking the time to do that.
Glad it was helpful!

Great overview 👍😊
Thank you! 👍
Is the other end of that yellow cable literally into the guitar? If so, the Tascam unit is “amping” the guitar?
@@mrmarcus6200 Yes, I wasn't using a seperate amp for this.
@@ArtbooksReviewedso if I was using an amp and fx pedals etc, a 1/4 inch TRS is how you would plug from the amp into the unit?

Go for it! I realised the safety blanket of always being able to 'fix it in post' was having a negative effect on my actual playing and recording!

@@Haze763 Am I right in thinking the DP-24 doesn't have built in internal mics?
Correct @@ArtbooksReviewed

6:02 Faders control the output level, not the input level.
Sorry, yep, my bad there ;)

Thanks. Really appreciate that!

Does your Tascam DP03sd have this problem ? Thanks .
Can I use the xlr inputs to plug my left / right main out channels into them
Not sure about this...
Great video, thanks. Any idea why I'm getting low audio output after Mastering? It sounds like the music is under a cloud of air. Why could this possibly be occurring?
I have no idea I'm afraid

Those usually have some kind of output level. Anyway, that's just a guess. Good luck. Maybe there's a tascam recording forum on the web where you could ask.
OK, so HOW do you get the unit, to playback a demo, that is just recorded, but after power shut-down??
Do you have an SD card in?
@@ArtbooksReviewed yes....
why this is 8 channels recorder? It only has 4 input, I think they are all mono?
It is a 8 track recorder with bouncing options and yes using mono connections
I recorded on the track 1. I wanted to redo it , ( a second take) but I cant' erase the first track. The button UNDO/REDO tells me that there no history. So, How can I simply erase a track.
Go to menu. Find track edit. Go to clean out track. Select track 1 .
@@JonnyRuncie Thanks. Someone told me just to write over the track and it erases the track like on a cassette. It works... My track was not long enough I guess.
I have the older DP-03 which is portable (with battery station)
anyone any idea why when i record a 2nd track it also records track one onto track 2 also ? im baffled
Are you using the inputs correctly? Use input A to record on tracks 1,3,5 and 7. And Input B to record on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Simpering but very good

I have one of these and a Zoom R20 16-track. I much prefer the Tascam. I never use the built in rhythms on the zoom as they’re a bit rubbish.
