Been looking at the Tascam DP 02 for some time now.
Has anyone had experience using this machine?. Would appreciate any comments. Thanks Lee

I received one for Christmas. I was able to record rhythm track from CD to the DP-02. I have my steel hooked up to the DP-02 line in from Nashville 112 preamp out. I'm not sure if this the way to go. If anyone can give us some info it would be appreciated.

Hi guys, For basic home recording it's a nice little unit and very user friendly. I only had one for a month then upgraded to Protools but here's what I learned...
From my Nashville 112 to inputs on the Tascam I used a mic, line out, preamp out and also the headphone out jack if I didn't want to bother anyone else in the house.

It has a handy USB feature for importing and transfering files but only imports mono wave files. It won't import a stereo mix that you've converted from Mp3 for instance. The sample rate for recording is fixed at 16bit/44.1 with no options which along with it's limited import options, is why I upgraded. For effects, it only has reverb and the editing options are very limited but for the money... it's a good little basic home recording unit for those who just want to plug in and make music. The manual is small, easy to understand and I liked the "hands on" feel when making EQ or mixing adjustments. Hope this helps!
