1. I used one mic for everything (guitar, voice, percussion): an AT 2020 condenser, plugged directly into the Tascam. 2. For guitars I played an Ibanez AC240 and a Guild D20 during those sessions. (I didn't play an electric, since I don't have one, alas). In nearly all cases I assigned the...

(Moderators, please feel free to remove if this is not an appropriate post for this forum.) Hi All. For those wondering about the capabilities of the DP-03, I recently released an EP that was recorded and mixed entirely on this machine (apart from some post-mastering normalization via...

From what I can tell the 03 and the 03 SD are identical in every respect except that the former has a CD burner. I assume that the screens are also the same. Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response, TalismanRich. There may be an issue with the cable wiring (XLR to XLR), but (unlike the mic!) it is brand new. Finding someone with an amp or audio interface to plug it into is a good suggestion.

Hi All, I just received a used AT 2035 condenser mic off of Reverb for a demo that I want to record. The mic will be run through a Tascam DP-03 portastudio. The Tascam provides 48 v phantom power, which I have activated. The issue is that, when using the mic, I am unable to monitor anything...

Also, a bunch of PJ Harvey's stuff was recorded on a Portastudio, since it was (is?) part of her song writing process. Even when she had access to a real studio, she would often incorporate some of the tracks from the original demo (especially the vocals).

That's right, both are identical except that the 03 includes a CD burner. (I got some blank CDs through a "buy nothing" group on Facebook: I've also seen them at thrift stores like Goodwill). You can still move files to and from your computer like the 03SD, but you can also burn stuff to a CD...

This is really good. The visuals are compelling (where was this filmed?) and the chorus has a great hook.

Hi all. I have only been a member here for a few weeks but I have already learned a lot from this group. I am primarily a singer songwriter, getting back into it after quite a few years. I've recorded in a studio a bunch of times, but this is my first time on the other side of the desk (except...

Thanks, @spantini. That's super helpful. I figured that this was the relationship between gain and frequency, but I have never worked with an EQ that was set up this way. Anyway, I mostly EQ by ear anyway, so I was able to get some decent equalization by just messing around with the two settings...

Resurrecting an ancient thread here (and my first post to this forum), I appreciate the OP documenting his process, and I love the idea of using the packing sleeve as a makeshift pop filter. I just bought a DP-03 (with the CD drive), and it looks as if it has never been used. I have been working...
