Portastudio

Portastudio refers to a series of multitrack recorders produced by TASCAM beginning in 1979 with the introduction of the TEAC 144, the first four-track compact cassette-based recorder. A TASCAM trademark, "portastudio" is commonly used to refer to any self-contained multitrack recorder dedicated to music production.[1][2][3]

The Portastudio is credited with launching the home recording revolution by making it possible for musicians to easily and affordably record and produce multitrack music at home,[4][5][6] and is cited as one of the most significant innovations in music production technology.[7]
