"Bought this to add unique organ sounds to our recordings without purchasing a huge organ!"
This device is simple to figure out, and is very user-friendly! There are 4 mic/line inputs and 2 XLR mic inputs.

"You can make crazy recordings with this via the varispeed and backwards-capability recording (Just flip the tape over and make sure you know which track you're on! ), you can make 60s-inspired mono backing tracks (bouncing tracks 1-3 to 4, while overdubbing a live track, giving you 3 tracks to add more stuff OR bounce a vocal thru a delay pedal and go crazy with the varispeed & the pedal's speeds at the same time!)."
"I also considered the pricier Pocketstudio 5 and Fostex MR-8 (both digital units), but ultimately rejected these because their interfaces seemed more complicated than necessary for a rehearsal quality unit. Recording is basically as simple as turning the unit on, taking a few sample levels, and pushing record. I've recorded acoustic piano, electronic piano, and voice thus far, and the resulting mix is truly a pleasure to listen to; in fact, it far surpasses my expectations for a unit priced so reasonably. But regardless of success, I'll remain pleased with the sound quality this reasonably priced unit delivers."
"It sat in the corner for about a year until I finally decided to plug it in when I wanted to revisit some of my old 4 track cassette master recordings from the 80's."
"In the last several years, I have been using digital multitrack recorders and digital audio interfaces for digital recording on my PC. I thought I was getting a superior sound compared to the old days when I started doing this on cassette."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I thought this recorder might recapture some of that simplicity while still allowing me to manipulate the final tracks or master recording in a pc program if I wished. 2 stereo tracks doing the primary guitar part, 2 stereo tracks doing a bass part, and two tracks of background chords and harmonics. You tell the unit which inputs you are going to use (mic, line, guitar), press the 1+2 track record buttons, set your levels, press PLAY and RECORD together and you’re off. The previous tracks automatically play back while your are recording new tracks AND THERE ARE NO LATENCY ISSUES! No need to start from the beginning to record new tracks. The unit has a built in metronome and tuner, you can bounce tracks with no degradation (freeing up tracks for more recording), mix 8 tracks down to a stereo mix, and then mastering effects (auto or manual) can be applied to the final master. The "mixer" is used to set levels for recording the 2 active tracks and/or playback levels of previously recorded tracks."
"it wont be, your beast of burden/ records your songs/your feelings wont be hurtin/ now that you got something to record your masterpiece. (im sure i didnt have to tell you to sing that with the stones song in mind now did i?"
"I recommend getting the Tascam power adapter as it's NOT included with the recorder. However, if you want to take your multi-track and mix it down to tape and give it that analog warmth..... go ahead. Tascam has put a lot of features into this unit and they all work."
"given the size and price, a lot of the EQ and other sound options are accessed through some nerve-wracking menus."
"Great Unit, easy to use..works as my ideas recorder when im on the road with either my Keyboard or Guitar."
"Love this little unit."
"Returned and upgraded for the 8 track model."
"It's a great little unit."
