Thanks for the vids on the DR-40X (and our 12 mixer,too). This handheld is soooo easy to use. 20 minutes in your hand,5 minutes of occasional manual dipping adds up to You're Now A Pro!
I appreciate the 'small bites' school of instruction since I am a technology dunderhead. Thanks a lot. I am amazed at the diversity you offer in personal recording equipment---TEAC has always offered a nice, affordable line of audio equipment. In my youth, TEAC reel-to-reels were, and still are, the workhorse of the industry.
how do I record .just the music while I dj ..... without the crowd noise ?
coonect to the mixer (XLR preferably) and record in stereo, external. It will record from external output (XLRs)
Hi, could you do a video detailing how to set up as an audio interface? I can't seem to get it to work with my macbook as an external mic.
Never mind! I found out that I was using a USB cable that only supported power, and didn’t support data transfer. You have to sort through these cables and test them all because like USB-C cables, some are power-only and others transmit power AND data. My issue was that the cables I was trying were all ‘power only’ cables. I wish this Tascam just came with a dedicated data cable of its own.
TASCAM DR-40X Why do the microphones continue to capture audio even when the levels are at zero?
Can’t find your episode about MS Decoding. Would you please show the link? Thank you!
MS is Mid/Side microphone, which is left/center/right input that is either recorded raw (MS DECODE OFF) or is decoded to stereo tracks at the time of recording (MS DECODE ON). The advantage of turning off the decode setting gives you flexibility to combine the tracks in post, tuning them to your liking.
Great video. Thank you. I bought the DR-40X and very rarely use it. The reason to buy it was to spread the built-in mics, put it on a table in the centre of my music room, and face it towards my hifi speakers. This way, I assume it will record audio the way my speakers actually sound in person. I could take a line level out of my hifi system and directly plug it into the DR-40X but that would just give me a hi-res audio file on the SD card, right?. In order to share files with friends and family with music the way I hear it in my room, what best way would you suggest? I have 4 different pairs of speakers, and I want to share how they all differently sound while playing the same music from the same source. Your thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I turn it on and it has the main screen for like 5 seconds and shuts off, What is going? I replaced the batteries too!
Hello, Mark! If you're in the United States, give our Tech Support team a call when you're in front of the unit.

Can I record in mono 4 simultaneous track? Can I use internal mic and external mic in mono simultaneously?
Hello! The DR-40X will record those as stereo .wav files, but if you import those into a computer you'll be able to separate them into individual mono files.
Hello,
I have been working for days to get the settings just right. The Tascam DR-40X is connected via XLR to the Out Rec of the Pioneer DJM 900 Nexus.
It records fine, but always picks up ambient noise. How can I turn this off?
Any videos on when to choose (EXT IN) line, mic, mic + Phantom?
Hello, Jimmy! There are no videos on that topic, but we can help you with that information.
MIC will be pretty much and microphone you're using that is connected by a three-pin XLR cable. On some occasions, you may find yourself using a condenser microphone which requires power to operate; this is when you'd want to use the Mic + Phantom (phantom power delivers a +48V current to power a condenser mic. Line will be used for anything other than a microphone. Line and mic differ in the loudness of the signal that is delivered to the recorder. By choosing "Line", you making the decision for the unit to adjust to the signal coming in (usually over 1/4" inputs on the bottom of the DR-40X).
Hopefully this helps out!
Very helpful, thank you. I am able to overdub, it works great. I selected the "Separate" option. Sounds great! However, I can't seem to get the tracks to move to my computer together. I only get the first Wav file, not both. Missing a step and could use your help, anyone! Thank you in advance!
When i record vinyl to convert to mp3 it only records a short section, it is still recording with signal but when it is played back it is only a short clip & not the full track, how do i fix this
I am confused on the idea of the devices 4 channels and mixing down tracks. Back in the day, I had a 4 channel, high-speed, cassette Tascam recorder. I could record to channels and mix down, which allowed me to feature many instruments and vocals on a song. I'm not sure how that works on this recorder. I wish there was a video that showed how to create tracks and mix down to produce a song. I'm just planning to do demos of songs I'm writing for our band. Can you point me to a video tutorial for that. So far, I played and sang a song through my mini PA and recorded that. I then did the "overdub" thing and added a piano - the first take, the piano was too loud, so I deleted that one, turned down the electric piano and redid the take. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to do this. And, do I add tracks by continuing to overdub on the last track I made?
The 4 channel recording refers to recording the internal microphones and the external inputs all at once. You might want to look into our portastudios like the DP-006 and DP-008EX which are more for creating songs with multiple tracks and mixing down
This beeping sound just started when i press record and i don’t know what i did? Any suggestions please. Thanks
hello! dual record works with XLR inputs too, right? this would give Tascam an edge over the closest competitor as well as me an easy choice
You are correct, it does!
My tascam turned off during a live set only recorded a few min know why it would do that? I just hit record and didn’t touch it for an hour
Are two channels reserved for the built in mics or can i use all 4 channels for line level instruments (for example). Does it have metronome??
Hello! The four inputs consist of the two built-in microphones, plus two dual XLR/TRS connectors on the bottom of the unit.
@@TASCAMUSA what i mean is: i record something stereo on channel 3 and 4, and then i use also channel 1 and 2 to record something with the xlr/trs imputs also.....?????? Are channel 1 and 2 EXCLUSIVELY reserved for the built in mics?????????
@@TASCAMUSA can you be more specific please?
Can The DR-40x be hooked up to the Tascam DPSD port studio???
just purchased DR 40x want to use it for short film and boom mic. Can you give me the settings i should use, or do a detailed video on it?
To use the external inputs press the REC MODE button, set the mode to Mono for use of one mic and Stereo for the use of 2 external mics. Then set the Source in that menu to EXT IN. If your Boom mic needs phantom power set the EXT IN Switch on the left side to Mic+Phantom. Turn up the input by pressing the Input Level + button on the left side.
Best way to record from a PA desk / mixer into your tascam?
There's always a way! To which TASCAM device are you referring?
@@TASCAMUSA DR-40X
@@43408628 You can take two line outs (XLR or 1/4") from the mixer/PA desk into the external inputs of the DR-40X. From there, you can adjust the incoming levels on the unit itself!
@@TASCAMUSA Stereo record mode?
La señal es muy alta hay picos cuando conecto mi dr 05 con cables rca. A la mixer pionner.. saturado el sonido
I just bought this device and have a problem. Whenever I hit the recording button for the second time to actually start the recording, it stops recording down after 7 secs. I tried different batteries, USB connection, different SD-cards, nothing works. It keeps jumping to stand by mode. What's the problem here?
Hello Laura! It sounds like the Auto Record function could be turned on.
Enter the MENU, then REC SETTING. Scroll down to Auto Rec and make sure this is turned off. After this function has been disabled, make a new recording; this DR-40X should continue recording beyond seven or so seconds now.
Hi, I think this is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm just wondering can you record audio from a dj mixer and audio from a microphone both at the same time separately and have the ability to tweek the microphone levels after recording if required? Thanks!
Hello! The DR-40X can record four channels at the same time, which can then later be edited. However, the four simultaneous channels are the two built-in microphones and two external mic/line inputs.
I'd recommend checking out the Portacapture X8 which allows for many more microphone and line inputs!
I've been thinking about a similar thing to do.
But I thought for that to be able to work, the mic couldn't be plugged into the same mixer, & have to be plugged in a separate unit/piece of equipment?
Unless 2 mixers used?
Hope that makes sense!
@@lincolnlee6595press the rec mode button, toggle rec mode to 4CH.
Then you can plug a mic or instrument directly into the jacks on the bottom of the DR40, and the built-in mics will be active as well. This gives you 4 tracks at once.
Mine also has a phantom power option, if needed.
if i want to record the noise upstairs neighbours footsteps is it good enough for that purpose or waste of money?
short and to the point,,, thank you I will hit like for you
Thanks Randy!
Hey TASCAM, I purchased the DR-40x and have been loving it. However, I've been having some issues with connecting my DR-40x to the RODE wireless go microphone set. I plug the RODE wireless receiver into my TASCAM, but the TASCAM does not pick up sound from the RODE transmitter. Do I need a certain adapter to plug the RODE receiver into the TASCAM, and what would the steps be to connecting my mic to the TASCAM? Thank you!
Hello! Which input are you plugging the RODE output into?
One option is purchasing an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and plugging the receiver directly into the inputs on the bottom of the unit.
Can you overdub to a stereo audio file that was not recorded on the DR40 Device ?
You can record an overdub on a file that was not recorded on the DR-40, simply import it to the card, select it and put the DR-40 into Overdub mode and start recording.
So where’s that MS Decode video?
Where can I find the explanation about MS Decode on this channel? I'm not much of a handy "you tube user" Thank you
Hello! A video for this function is currently not available, but we'd be more than happy to give you the run down of the MS Decode function on here.
So, if you've recorded with mid-side mic techniques or have imported files that were recorded using that technique, you'll want to make sure those channels are stereo linked within the Manual App.
Once you've turned the MS Decode function ON from the I/O settings screen, you'll need to select which stereo channel pair you'll be using this feature with.
After that's been completed, navigate back to your Manual App's MIXER screen. The stereo channel selection will now have the pan function replaced with the MS Decode function. Slide this the same way you would with a pan, but now controls the amount of middle mic to side mic ratio. At 0, the audio is completely mid and more side is introduced as the value is increased.
We hope this helps!
@@TASCAMUSA Thanks for the answer and you're time!
@@eddingman750 You're welcome!
Hi Tascam. Just got one of these and really liking it but one thing is confusing me. When monitoring with headphones, how do I set the volume to match the recording level? It seems like I could be monitoring at a higher volume than is being recoded. Maybe I’m thinking of this the wrong way, so happy to be put right! lol
Hello Dave! So, the signal you're hearing isn't any sort of "post-fader" type of signal, it's the input level but then with the extra step of the headphone volume. The only thing we can think of is to turn the headphone volume either down or up to match the levels coming in to the unit. Hope this helps!
So does this voice record music aswell as your voice? So say you had rap music on in background. Then started rapping over the song. It would pick up and record both and sound crystal clear?
Hello, Dave. Yes, that would work. The mics built into the DR-40X are high quality.
So if there a way to record with an external mic + internal mics at the same time ? Is that what Dual rec mode does ? Seems like you can either choose ext or in, not both at the same time.
Dual record will record one file at the volume you set and another file of the same recording but at a lower volume just in case the recording is too loud/distorted.
I think it would be the 4ch mode that would allow this to be possible. I'm curious if it works in audio interface mode. Even if it only works as a stereo 2 track going in but blends the 4 inputs.
4 channel recording would allow you to record the internal mics and the external mics at the same time.
@@TASCAMUSA basically I'm trying to mic up my drumset with the internal mic near the snare and an external mic at the bass drum. Sounds like this is the way to go.
I'm looking to record some simple guitar & vocal ideas, first recording the base track then add melody lines and vocals. Will the Dr-40x allow me to do this?
Hello Richard! The DR-40X is capable of recording up to four channels and there's an overdubbing feature that would allow you to layer your musical pieces.
@@TASCAMUSA Thanks for your quick reply 👍
@@343434richie Any time!
@@TASCAMUSA Hi again, is there a dedicated stand/tripod so I can place it on a solid flat surface/coffee table?
I'm sorry you were moving way too fast for a beginner. This was actually more confusing than helpful.
I have just purchased one. when I recorded a music set of around 90 mins, it has saved in 3 separate files, now I can not pull together, how do I set so it records continually in one file? cheers
Hello Damon! After recording for extended periods of time the files will break up like that due to formatting restrictions. You'll run into this very issue on every product that records to an SD card.
Are you importing those files into any software on a computer? If so, you can add them all to the same channels/tracks within the software without missing a beat between takes - no pops, glitches, or dropouts.
@@TASCAMUSA Hi thank you for the reply, to be fair if I record to Rekordbox I can record up to a 3 hour set, and I can record long sets using Quicktime.
I thought using this would be easier then just drop the file into Logic pro x, the recordings did not lip together properly at all and there was a clear drop/ change is sound between the two sections of recording.
@@damonwhite9521 yes, using programs such as Rekordbox or Quicktime won't result in the same file separations because of the format of the media.
The issue you ran into with getting the clips lined up is interesting because the DR-40X doesn't stop or pause recording while writing files.
It could be that "Auto Record" is enabled, which can definitely cause those particular issues. Go to the MENU, then REC SETTING, and scroll down until you see . You'll want to make sure MODE is set to OFF. If it isn't, highlight MODE and push ENTER. You'll now be able to use the plus and minus keys to switch between MARK, NEW FILE, and OFF.
Let us know if that does the trick for you!
@@TASCAMUSA Thank you, will have
another look and let you know cheers.
I did see a comment about going below the recording level it will stop and start a new file. This is on page 36 item 10 of the manual, so maybe that.
Another question, if I set the recording level at say - 6, is this -6 of what I see on the screen? cheers
@@damonwhite9521 Page 36 Item 10 of the manual is referring to the AUTO RECORD feature I mentioned earlier. For music recording, I'd definitely recommend turning that off - it's great for dictation and taking audio notes, but not so much for music.
Directly beneath the meters where you can see the audio signal coming in there's a scale that goes from -50 (to the left) up to 0 (on the right) - this is a decibel meter. Also, you should be able to see a decibel readout at the bottom right of the screen. With that, if the DR-40X is not record armed it will read --dB and then will fill in when the unit is armed. This will give you a good baseline reading for what dB levels you're hitting when it's silent, and what the levels coming into it are staying around.
I inherited a Tascam Dr 40 when my father passed away. I'm trying to figure it out. I'm wondering why it stops recording after 5 seconds? Thanks
It sounds like you have turned on the Auto Record function. To turn that off go to Menu and Rec Setting, below Auto Rec in that menu is a Mode option, set that to OFF
Great device guys! Now, any one may explain how use it on OSX 11.13? driver, tips, autos..never found
It shouldn't matter on the operating system of Mac OSX because the DR-40X is a class compliant device so it does not require drivers to run on Mac OSX. If you cannot get it work please call us when in front of the device
Can anyone help....? I've set up Record mode as INT STEREO / DUAL RECORD. Hit 'record' - flashes - set levels - hit record again - solid red. Then....it records for 5 seconds and stops recording and flashes red again. It then counts this 5 sec recording as a ''track'' in the Music Files. It's like there is a setting somewhere which is allowing only for 5 seconds of recording. Same thing happens if I use Ext Line In. PS... I've had this for 2 yrs but only learning to use it the last few days. I wonder if it is a software update issue. Any help much appreciated. Wanted to use it tonight....
Sure wish you could record from a USB source. Our mixer board has a USB out that would make recording super easy. Please?
Just got the dr-40x and I'm really impressed and finding it easy enough to use, I'm recording DJ mixes with it and it seems to cut off and create a new file every 1 hour 2 mins, is there any way to increase this so I can just have one long file instead of separate ones?
I was thinking of buying this model Andy for recording my vinyl collection, I was going for the DR-05 model but the guy told me it records in mono, he said go for this model... Is it Any good? Thanks mate
@@jb3funk I've only had it a couple of days I'm defo happy with it so far 👍 I could do with a longer recording time so I don't have say 3 separate files for a 3 hour mix but I haven't worked that out yet?!? I would prob go with this model for your needs if I was you as it has the line level inputs (XLR/TRS) which I don't think the one mentioned has
@@andyjardine8192 cheers mate, surely there is a fix for your problem, handy little gadget, saves messing about with the laptop 😉 question mate.. Is the batteries good enough or do you need to buy a power lead etc? Sd card aswell with it also yes
@@jb3funk yeah I'm sure there is mate. They give you batteries but I got the accessory kit add on which has the charger. I'm not really going to use the batteries unless I take it outside for a recording. There's a list on their site which tells you battery times for the different recording qualities. No SD card included I'm using on of my own micro SD (one thing to note is the SD slot is a standard size so I needed to get an adaptor for the micro SD, you can get them really cheap on Amazon/eBay)

Hey TASCAM, whenever I try switching my source from internal mic to anything else, my recorder immediately shuts off. It almost seems like its shorting out, but it only does it when I try switching sources. Any ideas what that could be?
Hello Ryland Pietras! We'd suggest following the link below and downloading the latest firmware update for the DR-40X.
tascam.com/us/product/dr-40x/download
@@TASCAMUSA I appreciate your quick response. My unit is actually the DR-40 and I have updated the fw to the current version (2.51), but to no avail.
@@TASCAMUSA Hi, I'm from Brazil and I have the same problem. I have the firmware updated. Any solution?
@@rabitocarlos After making sure the firmware is indeed the latest version available, the next troubleshooting step comes to batteries. Lower quality batteries have been known to create issues with some of the functionality.
If all else fails, we'd recommend reaching out to your regional TASCAM dealer and looking into sending your DR-40 off for repair.
can i record only 2 ext every one alone file ?
Hello! You can record four channels with the two built-in microphones and two external dual XLR/TRS inputs. Those will be recorded as two stereo .wav files (one for the mics on top, one for the inputs on the bottom) and then those can be separated in your DAW of choice.
I connected my audio technica 875r to my dr-40x, and it just doesn't detect any audio at all, i've switched the source multipe times to different external types. I connect it to either my left or right side, and it just doesn't detect anything. Can anyone help?
Make sure the switch on the left side is set to Mic+phantom so that the phantom power is on. If that does not work please call us at 323-726-0303
Anyone know what preamps are in the DR-40X?
We developed the pre-amps, it does not mention the name of the pre-amps in the documentation but we have done a lot of research into pre-amps and A/D and D/A converters over the years and improved on both
@@TASCAMUSA Wow,that was a surprise to get a reply...thanks. The reason I ask is we also purchased a Tascam 12 mixer in addition to the DR-40X. Nice preamps in the 12 and we noticed AFTER we purchased the DR-40X that Tascam's other 1/4" rig mountable recorders have the same pre's as the 12 mixer. They are listed for the 12,not the handheld,so the DR's may not be the same. We were curious what is in our DR. To add,totally love our Tascam gear. Also the goodies you sent us just for registering our gear. Impressive company integrity. Long way from my cassette Portastudio days! Cheers

I have a Boss 505 loop station. It can send audio over usb. Can this record incoming usb data? Thanks
The DR-40X can act as an audio interface to send and receive audio over USB from a Windows, Mac or iOS device but it will not receive signal form a drum machine that sends signal over USB
is dr-40x can make time-record? i find 07x can do it
Yes, the DR-40X will also do that!
Is there a way to record 4 individual Tracks? (MTR)
Is it possible to use it with an iPad and the aktive USB-Camara-Connection-Kit and Garageband without the need of an active USB-Hub in between? (Source needs too much Power - Problem).
Which sampling rates are supported as an interface? 96kHz?
I had an DR-40 v2 and really want to use the Interface-feature. So I want to update to the DR-40X. In the meanwhile I ordered the Zoom H4n Pro Black, but I'm not happy with it.I find the operation and handling of the Tascam DR-40 miles better.
Hey! I bought the DR-40X back in 2019 and it was working perfect with no problems. I was able to take it everywhere and use it without any worries or issues. About a year ago all of a sudden it started to pick up really bad digital interferences that ruined many of my recordings. Now in my house, outside, pretty much everywhere I'm getting this interference. I turned off cell phones and wifi in the area and that doesn't help at all. I even tried to cover it with tinfoil which reduced some noise but not all. What else can I do? I tried contacting Tascam on their website a number of times with NO response! I'm pretty disappointed as I initially loved using it when I first got it.
Hello Steven! It's disappointing to hear that you're having this issue with your DR-40X. First and foremost I'd recommend making sure you're up to date with the latest firmware; which can be downloaded from the page linked below:

When you have the DR-40X in front of you, give them a call at 323-726-0303. They'll help you troubleshoot this issue if the firmware upgrade doesn't help.
@@TASCAMUSA Thank you so much for the response! I will install the latest firmware when I get a chance and if the issue still exists I will give that number a call.
did it still get interference after the firmware update?@@StevenQBeatz
@@dontaskwhatkindofmusic unfortunately, the firmware update didn't make much or any difference. The interference seems to be random... Some days I don't really have an issue, and other days the noise is too much and can't record. Not sure there is a fix, but I just do my best to find a spot in the area I'm recording in with the least amount of interference. Luckily, there are some great noise reduction plugins out there now just in case.
How do I record a phone interview with two separate tracks? For a podcast, so each speaker is on a different track when editing? Which settings do I need to record in?
Hi Jamie. I believe we spoke earlier about this. Do you have any further questions on recording phone calls?
@@TASCAMUSA Thank you. I might have questions again once I try what you recommended!
Hello, does anyone know: is it possible to, while listening to a recorded file, also hear the (line)input? (I want to overdub layers of synthesizers via line in, but want to be able to play the first line, and "practise" the second line on top of it without recording. When I am happy with the second line, I will overdub record)
Yes I know that!
When you are in overdub mode, you should see in the top left of your screen a message saying "PRESS x/x INPUT" where x/x is either 1/2 or 3/4 according to what input you have selected. By pressing the corresponding button (1/2 SOLO or 3/4 SOLO) you enable or disable the monitoring. This works either if your playback track is paused, playing or if you are recording. Now you can also use the "MIXER" button to mix your monitoring levels.
Is there a way to remove an overdub if I don't like it?
When in Overdub, select Mix. At that point when you record to your previous track, it will create a brand new combined track. So you will have your original track and then a new one with them combined. Have further questions? Contact the TASCAM Tech Support Team here: tascam.com/us/support/contact
You didn’t really get into the modes individually
Great video. I would like to know how to use Tascan DR 40 to record to my laptop as a usb microphone. I would like to do voice over. Many thanks
The DR-40 does not act as an audio interface/USB microphone. However the DR-40X does act as an audio interface/USB microphone
can you record with a plug in mic and the built in mics at the same time..
You can record in 4 channel mode which will record one file from the internal microphones and one stereo file from the external mic inputs all at the same time.
Nice Video!!. How many separate tracks (virtual) can you record?
Hello kkatops! The DR-40X can record up to four tracks - two built-in microphones plus the two additional inputs at the bottom of the unit.

Tascam - Dr-40 (rec mode) "UNABLE TO RECORD". I and several users of the Tascam D-40 digital recorder product had problems with the equipment. You cannot find a solution to the problem presented. The Video (th-cam.com/video/OZreY6u53lk/w-d-xo.html) explains the problem with the device.
This makes it impossible to record using external microphones or line input.
Do you have a solution to the problem?
Hello! We'd recommend updating the firmware, which can be found by following the link below:

@@TASCAMUSA Isto não funcionou para nenhum usuário que teve o mesmo problema. Estamos sem uma solução. Isso é lamentável
@@podEneasCorrea have you personally tried updating the firmware?
Yes my friend! Everyone who has the same problem updated the firmware to version 2.51 and the problem was not resolved. The problem started when I was using firmware V2.50. I updated the firmware to V2.51 and the problem continued. I do not own this video th-cam.com/video/OZreY6u53lk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3WfDpS1OsqIotkBj . The owner is yet another unhappy DR-40 user, with the same problem. Many people complain on the web with the same problem. We didn't find a solution. The problem arose more than 3 years ago. To this day we have not found answers to the problem.@@TASCAMUSA
This is a little too fast for me!
Not the best video, doesn't go beyond the obvious, eg what is external independent vs external stereo?
I take it you are tutoring people who already know all about it. Up here too quick, can’t en see which buttons you’re pressing !
How can I record with the DR-40X to a DJ mixer (gemini) without any sounds from the room?
Press the Rec Mode button and set the Mode to Stereo and set the Source to EXT IN 1/2
What is the setting for recording music from the stage on top of the stage?
