Thank you for A1 class demo,iv just purchased one for recording my band rehearsals,still finding my way round with it ,nice guitar playing.take care all one love x.
Tascams are underrated. They pick up a good mix of lows and highs, so it's the best choice for quick and easy recordings. This album was recorded with a cheap Tascam. th-cam.com/video/Nf-9jLF6mIk/w-d-xo.html
I have an entry level DSLR that has no mic input, and a built in mono audio recorder. . I don’t have a proper mic for my laptop. I bought the Tascam DR-05x and really like it. I picked up a lav mic along with a 128gig card. For the camera, I bought a shock mount that comes with a cold shoe adapter, and another to attach the Tascam to the mount and the cold shoe. It is a Movo SMM5-B Universal Microphone and Portable Recorder Shock Mount from Amazon. So I’m hands free after I press record on the unit. I just bought all this, so I have to figure out how to sync the audio with video. Since I have this, I can place the Tascam on a Manfrotto Pixel tripod on a desk. Great unit, love the recoded audio from it. Far superior to what I had before, and I’m sure it beats some of the regular audio input mic’s for digital cameras.
I’m replacing my tascam dr40 with this. Dr40 quit reading cards, a problem and tascam said not worth fixing. 05 has mono, which dr40 didn’t have, many of the functions are similar, looking forward to receiving mine. Nice demo tutorial.
6:23 'as well as waffs' ? Aren't you referring to wave files? I've never heard them referred to as 'waffs' heh heh heh. Great review - I am replacing my ancient ZOOM H1 from 12 years ago (getting a bit wobbly!!) - and was considering the odd-looking ZOOM H1n...but, after your review - I think I might grab the TASCAM DR-05x. Thanks again. James in Toronto
I brought a Tascam DR-05X and spent hours trying to download files onto my PC. In frustration I decided to buy a new memory card the one I was using was from an old phone. That fixed all the problems I was using an old corrupted card. Before you waste hours trying to figure out what is wrong spend a few dollars buy a new card.
Very nice playing and recording. Don't mind me asking. What the build quality is like please. Thank you. I've got a Dr-60d. But eats batteries like in 10 minutes so I need a better 1. Absolutely nothing wrong with it it's just nuts so quickly. And if you use a psu plugged into the wall and get a hum. And I have a good cable tester. Absolutely crazy how many cables I have don't pass the test stop even the one with ferrite beads. I mean they're safe to use though just not shielded properly. So you can get noise sometimes.
Please tell me - How to record audio in mode "TREBLE+" ? I want record song-covers with high frequencies, but the equalizer can only be set to output. At the beginning of the video, the guitar sounds very beautiful, I try to achieve the same sound.
The "EQ" is not really an equalizer. It is six presets, of which you can choose only ONE: Increased treble, decreased treble, increased midrange, decreased midrange, increased bass, or decreased bass. The last selection you are on when you press OK and exit the EQ menu is what you get.
Mine is muted for some reason and I can’t unmute it, I have tried going to the IO settings and turning the speaker on and off- it still shows the muted speaker icon top right- any suggestions?
The X model has much better electromagnetic shielding, in the first version it had huge problems with phones, routers etc... And the interface is slightly different and the backlight changed color
Please tell me if you have experienced a radio interference problem with the Tascam DR-05? For example if you record close to a router or amplificators. I've seen a lot of people complaining about that in TH-cam. I like the audio quality and rich low freq that the Tascam has, but with that problem being so common, idk...
In the BROWSE menu, I don't see how to create folders except within the MUSIC folder. Is there no way to do this? When I do it on the computer, in "SD card reader mode" they don't show up on the unit. Also, how do you determine which folder your recordings go into?
It would have been nice to know exactly how long a set of batteries last. Also, there was no comment about the build quality. I experience with the existing Tascam recorders is they are plastic and are not very robust.
1, Micro USB rather than Mini USB jack. 2, ability to use as a USB microphone DIRECTLY in to the PC. 3, 128Gb max card capacity. More complete details are @ 4:09 in the video.
With this unit, what's the best way to record 2 people at the same time? It looks like you would have to lean in very close to the on board mics to get a decent voice recording and in these current times it's not a great thing for 2 people to be doing. Is there an external mic solution to this where we can be further apart? Thanks :)
You could use a Comica Boom XD D2. It has two wireless mics, one feeding the left channel and one feeding the right channel. Or a Comica Dual Lav which combines two lav mics into a stereo output.
When trying to record voice at one foot distance, I need to set input level at 70 to achieve -12db, is this normal with Tascam DR-05x? I don't know if mine works well.
Be aware that these do NOT come with an sd card , and the ones they recommend are very expensive … adding over 50% of the price to the unit …. They don’t tell you this in the advertising … grrrr!!!
The whole time he was on the guitar that was the recording of the Tascam... He had it set via USB to record and was recording the sound from it directly.
That intro is exactly how I intend to use one if I get it. Thank you for demonstrating the thing I was wondering about.
Thank you for A1 class demo,iv just purchased one for recording my band rehearsals,still finding my way round with it ,nice guitar playing.take care all one love x.
I really like this recorder.Its user friendly .I didn't need to read the instruction manual to figure out how to operate it
Your guitar playing is magnificent and Your introduction is amazing this is the best Tascam Intro I have seen thank You to much great Job
This is the best review I've seen of this model. Outstanding video quality too, thank you !
Sound tests begin at 11:02
Just ordered one! I am a singer/songwriter, Can't wait to get it..
Would this also be good for drums?

That does it. I'm getting one of these bad boys.

I think he said WAVs. The extension on Windows is .wav so it makes as much sense as saying wave.

any idea how to get decent quality into audacity? The interface works but the recording quality is terrible. anyone know the settings? thanks

How do you connect the recording with effects with the camera? Thanks
Can you do some kind of overdub (recording over a pre-recorded audio that is playing at the same time of the recording?
Will this be Able to record my bands practice ? We are very loud ?
What a coincidence ... I've been looking into buying something like this. Great review thanks ... **scuttles off to web shop**
Mine is muted for some reason and I can’t unmute it, I have tried going to the IO settings and turning the speaker on and off- it still shows the muted speaker icon top right- any suggestions?
Ordered from "that" place at a super cheap, way below $100 price tag. I love open box sales!
Wait, how are you powering it via usb? Can you do that??
Great video.
Why do I get a lot of digital noise in my recordings? Sound is reminiscent of a dial up modem after connecting to it...
Why doesn't mine show "Monitor Mix"...You were moving pretty fast I couldn't catch what you did!
the none "X" DR-05 model could also be used as a two in and two out I/F using the PC's 3.5 jack aux-in.. so what's difference with the "X"..!?
The X model has much better electromagnetic shielding, in the first version it had huge problems with phones, routers etc... And the interface is slightly different and the backlight changed color
How do you stop the beep between recordings its very annoying

if the DR-05 is taped right next to a handheld wireless mic, it will pick up interference from the wireless transmitter
Gr3at review.
Hi! Can you maybe use this as a microphone for you smartphone?
In the BROWSE menu, I don't see how to create folders except within the MUSIC folder. Is there no way to do this? When I do it on the computer, in "SD card reader mode" they don't show up on the unit. Also, how do you determine which folder your recordings go into?
how do you change the language from Japanese to English??
How do you hear what you recorded without running it through a computer?
I believe it has live headphone output when recording.
@@NJP76 yep
Amazing guitar sound, is that a Martin?
What would you recommend the recorder to be set at if your recording a full band aspect?
It would have been nice to know exactly how long a set of batteries last. Also, there was no comment about the build quality. I experience with the existing Tascam recorders is they are plastic and are not very robust.
It uses "AA"s so rechargeables are super cheap, and it can be powered by the USB port.
With the line in could I record straight from the output on my keyboard?
what is the difference between this 05X and the 05?
1, Micro USB rather than Mini USB jack. 2, ability to use as a USB microphone DIRECTLY in to the PC. 3, 128Gb max card capacity. More complete details are @ 4:09 in the video.
hi, I can't connect the dr-05x to mac/pc. Either as sd card reader or audio interface both not working. Is it working on yours?
Love the song u played
Thank you

mics to get a decent voice recording and in these current times it's not

Love the intro playing
I want to turn off the external mics and record via the line in from my stereo, but i can't turn off the external mics - can anybody please help?
When trying to record voice at one foot distance, I need to set input level at 70 to achieve -12db, is this normal with Tascam DR-05x? I don't know if mine works well.
That's normal.
Can we see someone playing the guitar and singing at the same time cheers
what's the name of the usb cable you're using with the tascam?
I just wish you would do this again, but pretend that you were making it for your mom, who is not very technologically inclined.
I bought one, and I hate it. POC.
thanks
Be aware that these do NOT come with an sd card , and the ones they recommend are very expensive … adding over 50% of the price to the unit …. They don’t tell you this in the advertising … grrrr!!!

Dude it defeats the purpose of the video if you didn't let us hear the sound quality
The whole time he was on the guitar that was the recording of the Tascam... He had it set via USB to record and was recording the sound from it directly.
Nothing about overdubbing! Seriously!!!!!!!!
The owner’s manual doesn’t say anything either
Junk
Glossed over the tone function, auto tone , tone secs. "Head+ tail", whatever TF that means...
