Take it anywhere and start recording with the built-in microphones
The Tascam DP-004 Portable Digital Pocketstudio is smaller than a paperback book, so you can take it with you anywhere. Plus, you don't have to worry about bringing a bunch of extra gear with you when you want to capture an idea - the DP-004 has a pair of built-in microphones for recording ideas on the fly.

Connect up your own microphones, instruments, or line-level gear
While the DP-004 makes a great partner for recording impromptu jam sessions with its built-in microphone, it's also equipped to handle your professional recording needs, such as creating a band demo. Two 1/4" inputs accept microphone or line-level signals. The first input can also switch so it's suitable for recording your bass or guitar signal directly.

Easy-to-use interface resembles a cassette 4-track
Tascam's cassette Portastudios were extremely popular - mainly because they were so easy to use effectively. The DP-004 follows that lineage and offers a user-friendly layout, much like those cassette 4-tracks. You can easily assign an input to any of the four tracks just by pressing two buttons. One touch of the record button "arms" the tracks for recording and a second touch starts the recording. You can adjust all the audio levels by using the input knobs and viewing the meters on the DP-004's LCD screen.

Records at CD-quality to removable SD cards
Tascam kept quality and convenience in mind when building the DP-004. Audio records as a CD-quality 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV file, so your performances sound great. What's more, all the audio records to SD Card media and a generous 1GB card is included with the recorder. SD Card media is great because it's removable, expandable, and affordable. You can pop in another card, just like you'd put in a new tape to start another recording. And for longer recording sessions, you can put in a higher-capacity card.

Connects to your computer via USB 2.0
Once you've recorded your tracks, it's easy to get them to your computer to load to your webpage, e-mail to friends, load into your portable media player, or just burn to disc. The Tascam DP-004 connects to your computer via fast USB 2.0.

Professional features, such as a bounce function, an editor, and a tuner
Just like with popular cassette recorders, once you've mixed your four tracks together you can bounce them over to a new track and make room for more overdub layers - the DP-004's only limited by the amount of layers you can dream up! It also features flexible editing tools, so you can clean up mistakes or silence noises in a track. If you happen to record over something by mistake, an Undo button is handy so you don't have to sweat it. Other professional features include an autopunch and repeat mode for the recorder. There's even a built-in tuner and a metronome, making the DP-004 an incredibly convenient tool.
