Good stuff! We are a couple of old school guys that live in different states and use two TASCAM DP-32's to record our original music by sending SD cards back and forth (I said we were old school) then we post it on our KZbin channel. We do it for fun and keeping our friendship alive despite the miles between us. The DP-32 sounds amazing and is easy to use!

I still love having to get creative with how I'm gonna do certain things that a computer can do instantly. I have friends that think I'm crazy and maybe I am but it's what I like. Takes me back to when I first got into multi track recording with a vestax 4 track cassette recorder,a dual cassette deck, a few effects and a cheap mic. Oh and a very old 6 channel mixer came along and I thought I was hot stuff then lol. But anyone that has never tried recording with just the bare minimum should really try it. You can get very creative. And yes a bathroom really does make a good vocal booth 😁.

I used mine to record our live string band gigs for future grimacing and finger pointing. As we don't have drums, we didn't require the 237 inputs needed to get a decent snare sound. We really enjoyed hearing a simple stereo mix over the tinny cell phone recording from the mandolin player's girlfriend's phone. I highly recommend any flavor of these affordable multitrack recorders to all fledgling bands to hear a rough mix of rehearsals or learn basic multitracking. You can be a bar band with the fullest tip jar, and be tossed out of any hopes of fame and wimins, if you think studio technique is someone else's problem. More than practising the notes and stage moves, practice getting your hearts tuned to the efforts and doldrums of recording. I'm not anywhere against doing anything in the box. Portability and efficiency are worth every penny.

I have been using a very nice DAW for many years now, UAD Apollo interface with Neve and SSL plugins, as well as a ton of plugins from Waves, IK Multimedia, and more. I bought the DP24SD as a remote recorder, thinking it would be good enough to track with then transfer tracks to my DAW for mixing and mastering. I was pleasantly surprised to realize I could make full productions on the Tascam and now I rarely use my computer. The effects in the Tascam are all you need, and if you need more there's another effects send to add outboard gear. The compression, EQ, Reverbs and Delays are as good as any of my plugins. It takes a little more thought and some track bouncing, but I'm using the Tascam most of the time now even with all the plugins I have in my DAW. It's just very easy to use and get professional results.

The removal of midi is the beginning of the problem. The effects in the 2488 series was not applied here which would have been wealth. I have the 24sd. Because of my experience with Tascam products through the years, I circumvent a majority of the processes. I don't master with it and I avoid tape sync. Tascam dropped the ball off the bridge with this one but for a good note, the sound after recording is remarkable. So it still has a place in my collective. Tascam gotta do better and put back what they took out.

I missed the old days of working within the limitations of a 4 or 8 track Portastudio, and bought the DP-24 several years ago. I don't always want a screen in front of me or the intricacies of working within a DAW. I don't always want to boot up a computer just to lay down an idea, and I pretty much don't EVER want email, social media or popups interfering with my creative process. Yes, the central component of working with ANY system is learning its interface, and the Tascam DP interface isn't too bad. There are some oddities in working with it, but for basic tracking and layering, it's a good little machine. Exporting the tracks onto the SD card and importing them into a DAW when I want access to more advanced features is nice hybrid alternative to doing all tracking within a DAW. I do think they missed a major opportunity by not doing even a basic MIDI implementation. Having just MIDI sync capability would make this machine much more versatile.

Just ran across your video here. I really like the Tascam stuff. I started out with the old cassette tape Portastudios in the 90’s, so there is a bit of nostalgia for me. I still use a DAW, interface and all that stuff - but the nice thing about a Portastudio is, simply put, the simplicity. Although the dp24sd and dp32sd have a lot of features for what they are, once you get the hang of it, you are not overloaded with “option paralysis”. You have very limited effects, but enough flexibility from the digital world to move about. Much like the older tape machines, you are forced to focus on the creative aspect of your own playing, and even your own musicianship. I still enjoy using my computer-based system, but there are times when I just want to focus entirely on the music, not mucking about with vst’s and softsynths or other stuff, just the instruments. The dp series has been around a long time and I hope they keep them going.

I'm pleasantly surprised the DP-24/32, DP-8/DP-6 etc. are even still in production! Long live the Portastudio! as these questions were all being asked long before they even came out. I don't think these recorders make sense for demos, as the whole demo-making process is obsolete and pointless IMO. A demo for who? If you're pitching a song, 99% of the time they want Broadcast Quality up front. I think for most of us, if we're working on our own material, whatever we record will be the definitive version. There's no "demo" anymore unless it's a scratch track to just get an idea down or a rough draft, for that you can use a phone or handheld field recorder. DP-24/32, especially the earlier model with MIDI and CD-R, have a lot of appeal as a true Portastudio. No noise, no distractions of a PC, no analysis paralysis of unlimited options. And the ability to get away from a noisy home environment. Rent a quiet space with your band for a weekend, get up and running with minimal fuss. It's also an effective gig recorder, but I think Zoom has better options for that. I wonder if the no-MIDI, no-CD/R versions still have the ability on the PCB's, in other words could ports for that still be hacked much like you see Retro gamers do with adding video outputs to old gaming consoles.

So this is a pure audio only recorder of which I have several already. Now the other unit you reviewed a year or so ago, Roland with midi and CDRW drive? Would have been a better option for us old skool Midi sequence techhead musicians. So this unit here is good for audio only recordings where all your midi tracks are recorded and you do not need your vocals to be synced to the midi song tracks but rather you record your vocal live only while the midi song is also recorded as an audio only track(stereo mixed). Bit limiting but eh, for $699 it can do the trick for instant gratification. Not my choice for pro studio work without midi sync so that the recording starts as soon as you press play on your midi drum machine or sequencer

@@gearfacts I haven’t tried them so I can’t comment - but the technology is mature so I would expect good results. As I understand it, it’s the feature set and usability that will be the biggest difference, so I’d say go with your budget and what works for the player. I’m more of a keyboard player so rack stuff like the helix or even plugins are just fine, which a lot of guitar players would find distasteful or distracting.

Just looks like a standard Porter stereo to me. Took you that long to figure out how to turn on the sound Please don't record Sound like my guitars. Frank, who walks in screwed up the first portal studio cause he couldn't figure out how to wrap the sound correctly. That's why everything bled all over everything. And that was the four eighty eight porter studio

Not sure if that’s criticism or if we’re just agreeing…. :)

@gearfacts What's my late guitar stick would be criticism Because he literally could not figure out how to separate the tracks Are the simple four eighty eight portastudio These are little more intricate. I'm definitely a lot more sophisticated than the tascam That I started on
