Being a song and hook writer. I'm constantly in creative mode. I bought the Tascam DP-24 SD. I track and mix everyday now! It's sooo easy to use compared to computer tracking.Though I use both.Mine is I n my living room.TY B&H for the lightning fast delivery!

This is a step up for me.

I am a musician who likes to record the old school way. That's why I purchased the DP-24SD 24-Track. This machine allows you to do that. It's simple and easy to use. Also I don't have to put up with a lot of computer uploads and constant upgrades. This recorder works great for what I need to do.

Perfect multitrack machine

Great little multitrack recorder that is very powerful. Using this to record an entire album with a bluegrass band and it works perfectly. Audio can easily be exported and then put into any DAW program for final mixing if you prefer or everything from mixing to mastering can all be done on the unit itself.

This is an amazing product for this price. Tascam is the only recorders I would consider after 30+ years recording. I think they have the most user friendly interfaces in the world and their products last a long time. This 24 track model looks great, sounds great and is a great buy. I also tip my hat to BH photo for a great price and fast service. Very happy customer!

My handheld Zoom 4 channel recorder glitched constantly so I returned it and searched for a low cost 4 channel mixer on Amazon without luck. So I called my friend at clear view electronics in Michigan and he recommended the Tascam DP-24SD which handles 8 inputs at a time but he didn't have one. I only used 4 channels on my gig but it recorded for 1.5 hours without a glitch! But it could record for 50hrs. I tried every where without luck then remembered my friends at B&H. Normally $499 I got it on sale for $399 and it arrived the day before my gig so I had 4hrs to get Acquainted with it which wasn't a problem. There are 24 channels to mix with and you can export the file with the included USB cable or you can simply use the SSD card to transfer the files to a computer very quickly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is I had 50' mic cables and the recording was a little weak but I doubled it in the computer with out any distortion. This is a pro unit. Durable and Precise. Sturdy built, not a featherweight

question

does it provide phantom power for condenser mics?
Asked by: robert d.
According to the online user's manual. phantom power is available but is switched on and off in groups of 4. So for mic inputs A through D, power is either on or off for all 4. Same for mic inputs E through H, power is either on or off for all 4. +48v. is available, but I think +12v. may also be available. I don't recall for sure. I suggest you check the online manual, you can search and easily find it as a PDF.
