Sam Ash has the Tascam DP-008 (eight-track digital recorder) on sale for $219 (USD) on their website and will match the price in their retail stores. I bought one.
The recorder is about half the size of a sheet of paper and can run on four "AA" batteries or with an AC adapter. There are built-in condenser mics and it also has XLR jacks and 1/4 inch jacks for input.
The unit has built-in reverb that is really nice, low noise, high gain. This is a TRUE 8-track setup, that means 5/6 and 7/8 are not linked like every other 8-track on the market these days. You can master all tracks independently and either put the memory card into a computer to transfer the data or use the USB cable that is provided.
I will be writing a full review of the unit and providing pictures in Ukulele Player's next issue.
For uke tunes, this recorder is great and gives you lots of room for vocal harmonies, bass, percussion, and even guitar tracks (for those who want them).
BTW... regular price on this unit is $299, so the sale is a big savings.
