Overview
TASCAM is usually a brand associated with audio interfaces and historically, the Portastudio casette tape multitrack recorder.
The TA-1VP is more than just a channel strip: It is a digital modelling platform that emulates high-end consoles, channel strips and mics.
It has an autotune feature – instead of a stylistic autotune implementation like what artists like T-Pain use, it is more of a performance based subtle pitch correction effect.
The Tascam TA-1VP is meant for those looking for a preamp with DAW-like channel strip functionality with multiple inserts available including pitch correction.
