A Compact Portastudio: The "Pocket Studio" Digital Spirit
The DP-006 follows the tradition of the Portastudio designed for quick recording anywhere while staying focused on playing. Whereas older systems relied on more restrictive media, this model adopts digital recording on SD card and USB 2.0 transfer to archive your sessions on a computer. The result: a direct approach, ideal for capturing an idea as soon as it arises.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This 6-track Portastudio is particularly suited for singer-songwriters, acoustic guitarists, teachers, and musicians on the move. Place it in front of you, use the built-in stereo microphone for a live take, then add vocals, a solo, or a second part as an overdub. It is suitable for demos, rehearsals, private lessons, or preparing arrangements before a studio session.
Key Features for Recording, Arranging, and Finalizing
Sound Capture and Track Routing
The DP-006 offers 2 mono tracks and 2 stereo tracks (configurable to mono), providing a simple structure to layer parts while maintaining overall playback on 6 tracks. The 2 microphone/line inputs with 6.35 mm jacks allow adding an external source, while the built-in static microphone remains perfect for quick and natural takes.
Mixing and Production Without Hassle
Thanks to dedicated Level and Pan knobs, you adjust your balance without complex menus. The Bounce function facilitates grouping tracks to free up space, and the dedicated stereo Master track lets you finalize a coherent mix. The Locate and playback repeat functions speed up work on a specific passage.
Built-in Editing for a Clean Demo
To refine your session directly on the device, you have handy editing tools: track duplication or erasure, cutting within tracks, and silence insertion. The chromatic tuner and metronome complete the set to work accurately and in time, wherever you are.

Hello, the recorder with 2 built-in MICs for guitars is very practical for my use, you can connect 2 microphones to record sound at the front with phantom power, or for the outside it works with batteries I use a second recorder the Olympus LS-P4 for the front sound pickup, I connect it with a 3.5 mm jack cable from the headphone connector then to the MIC-A connector with a 6.35 mm jack adapter of the Tascam DP006, the combo is perfect for double recording.

As soon as I unpacked the package, I was won over by the small volume of this device which makes it easily transportable. You take your time to discover all the possibilities offered but the batteries provided allow you to test the two microphones on the front in a few seconds. An idea for a melody... hop it's in the pocket!

Good product for a reasonable price, my first attempts were very satisfactory. Getting started alone requires a very careful reading of the instructions.
