I love mine! With the Bluebox and plenty of cables, you’ve got pretty nice recording rig! You just need an interface which I have 3 or 4 products that will be an interface if I need one. None of them bought for that purpose! The best part I was able to purchase mine brand new for I believe $145 on ZZounds’s outlet! Just what a great deal! It’s a fantastic portable for sampling, again just like the Bluebox it requires the right splitter cables, and neither are an interface but could be with a firmware update!

If you're having issues with getting an external microphone to work, through XLR input A or B, it's because the type of microphone connected (condenser mics) needs an additional setting turned on to recognize and record audio. Just press the phantom button and press on.

Thanks for the video. It was simple to understand. I have a few recording devices and I really like this Tascam dp-008ex which I use for quickly coming up with things always ready with mic on amp. I love how it is compact and doesn't get in the way of anything. The things I come up with I transfer later to other devices but the Tascam is a good work flow at the beginning for me. There's many ways to use it but this is how it works for me. I like that hands on-ness of it and don't like stuff like pro tools using a mouse, just not tactile enough for me. All my equipment is hardware not software. Anyway, thanks again for staying direct and on point.
@erikcalonius6599

Joe, I'm a musician and as writer, not a techie. I thought the Tascam would be a stand-alone solution to recording. The TRUTH is that without a computer, it is a lump of plastic, a $300 doorstop. It will not help you create anything. This is a fact that I don't see in any Tascam marketing, or in the manual. YOU have shown this, and thank you, but where do the Tascam people show their machine connected to a Mac or a PC? And where in the Tascam manual do they EXPLAIN how the Tascam interacts with the computer? They don't--and I think this is why, from many You Tube comments, you can see that many, many people have no idea how to use the machine--and toss it in the closet. A recorder is to CREATE things. It is used by creative people. The Tascam may be an electric engineer's idea of heaven, but it is a bitch for almost anyone else. So, Joe, could you make more videos showing how to use the Tascam in the creative process. How to lay down some initial tracks, how to label and save them, then how to make some changes in them, and save and label those, and so forth. You have done a nice job in explaining how to reverse engineer a master back to an earlier state, for instance. And how to export songs more simply, without mix down or mastering. But I think a full video taken from this point of view would be great. It might get thousands of Tascams out of the closets. And if you have any talks with the Tascam people, ask them to put down their slide rules and surge meters and make machines and instruction manuals that speak to their customers--people who make music.

Thanks for the comment Erik, I plan to exactly what you just described. We are in the process of setting up a studio to facilitate the process. Don't really need one to do so, but it makes the process go smoother if you have a nice layout and you're not constantly moving, plugging, unplugging gear all the time. Pretty well along the way in the process and I'm about to post a video on how we constructed our bass traps. Hopefully we can inspire.

Hi there I found your description really good. I am completely blind and I am considering buying this device. Listening very carefully to your description I think it would be possible for me to use enough functions to record and mix. I really liked that the source menu did not rap between internal mike low and high etc so if I knew when I got to the top I could count the clicks. Some things would be impossible like seeing if I was clipping I would tend to verge on the side of caution here and put the input to low. Also source routing to the different tracks so input 1 to track 1 3 5 etc and that is fine if I do not change it. I do think this recorder with time learning menus etc could work. Thank you very very much for your excellent demonstration Joe

Things I can think of... Make sure that the cable you are using is the correct one. Make sure that the track that you are using has the correct letter assigned to it, A or B, and that Input Setting is set to External Input/ Line/ Low. If that doesn't solve it, see if you can plug the amp into something else like a powered speaker, mixer or stereo and check if it will work through something else.

One other thought, the Line 6 output may be stereo, if so, using a single mono cable out could negate the signal.My Boss Katana is like that, so to record with it, I use an 1/8" stereo to two mono 1/4" splitter and use one or both external inputs on the Tascam. Or I plug the two mono jacks into a splitter that combines the 2 channels back into a single mono 1/4".

Thanks! Two possible options. First option. (Easiest) Plug the line out of the Trio into a line in of the Tascam, arm that track and start recording on the Tascam, play the Trio loop/sequence live into the Tascam. Second option. Record the loop/sequence to the Trio sd card. Convert the file to 16 bit 44khz with an app or program (there are even online options) import file to the Tascam.

I have gotten pretty familiar with the interface by now, my problem is getting the levels right. I am plugging in an acoustic with pickup directly in. Between the TRIM on input A/B level on the device, the volume on the track, then the guitar, then the MASTER volume, it is always off. It's always clipping, but when I lower the input volume, then I can barely hear it. The Master volume seems useless, even at max I can barely hear it. Is there a tutorial on getting the levels just right?

There's no pause, but you can simply hit Stop and then start back up again without rewinding. It's bound to be a tricky move and will probably take some practice. Thanks for watching.

Make sure the output "Master" and the track faders on the Tascam are turned up, (obvious, and you probably already did.) Try a different channel strip on the mixer? Maybe you are in a channel that is usb/2 track and you need to depress the button?

Directly into the inputs. There is no send / return or effects loop. There are some decent reverbs assignable to any or all channels. There's also compression with several presets or manual threshold, ratio, attack and release settings available to a single channel. Also an exciter, and a de-esser.
