1 – Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of TASCAM’s
8-Track Digital Pocketstudio, the DP-008.

The DP-008 is designed to provide you
with great sound in an easy-to-use compact
package, allowing you to concentrate on the
music, and not on the recording process.

Before connecting and using the unit, please

Overview of this unit

Using an SD card this unit can record two
tracks simultaneously and work with up to
eight tracks in a multitrack project. Moreover,
using its mixer functions, you can mix down a
multitrack to create a stereo master track.

This stereo master track can then be
transferred to a computer connected by USB.
In addition to copying stereo master tracks
from this unit to the computer, various other
data, including track and song data can be
transferred to a computer as back-ups.

About SD cards

This unit uses SD cards for recording and
playback. SD and SDHC cards that are at

least 512 MB in size can be used. A list

of SD cards that have been tested with this unit
can be found on the TASCAM web site (www.
tascam.com).

Precautions for use

SD cards are delicate media. In order to avoid
damaging a card or the card slot, please take
the following precautions when handling them.

Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold

places.

Do not leave them in extremely humid

places.

Do not let them get wet.

Do not put things on top of them or twist

them.

Do not hit them.

Cautions on installation

The unit’s nominal operating temperature

is between 5˚ and 35° C (41° – 95° F).

Do not install in the following types of

places. Doing so could degrade the sound
quality and/or cause malfunctions.

Places with significant vibrations or

that are otherwise unstable

Near windows or other places exposed

to direct sunlight

Near heaters or other extremely hot

places

Extremely cold places

Places with bad ventilation or high

humidity

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm
place, or used after a sudden temperature
change, there is a danger of condensation;
vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation
impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,
let the Pocketstudio sit for one or two hours at
the new room temperature before using.

From recording to creating
a master track

Here, we will try multitrack recording. In the
following example, we will use an electric
guitar to record a rhythm guitar part on track 1
and a lead guitar part on track 2. Then, we will
use the built-in mic to record a voice on track

3. Finally, we will mix the tracks down.

In this section, we assume that you have
already followed the instructions in “Playback
and mixing” to connect monitoring equipment
and install the SD card.

TIP

This example uses the built-in mic for
recording vocals, but you could also connect
an external mic to the INPUT A or INPUT B
connector on the rear panel and record it.
