1–Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of TASCAM's
4-track digital Pocketstudio, the DP-004.
The DP-004 is designed to provide you with
great sound in an easy-to-use compact package,
allowing you to concentrate on the music, and not
on the recording process.

Overview of this unit

Using an SD card this unit can record two tracks
simultaneously and work with up to four tracks
in a multitrack project. Moreover, using its mixer
functions, you can mix down a multitrack to create
a stereo master.
This stereo master can then be transferred to
a computer connected by USB. In addition to
copying stereo masters from this unit to the
computer, various other data, including track and
song data can be transferred to a computer as
back-ups.
