32 track digital recorder. 8 track simultaneous recording up to 32 tracks. Effects and full editing features with Mastering. Easy and intuitive, this unit makes a fine high quality recording, as expected from Tascam. This is one generation back from the new DP-32 and, unlike the new model which sells for $850, this one includes a built in CD burner and MIDI functions for syncing with keyboards. A steal at $500!
