    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.

    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.

    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.

      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. ua-cam.com/video/Nf-9jLF6mIk/v-deo.html

    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.

    • @jbr84tx
      @jbr84tx 3 роки тому

      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.

    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.

    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 :)

    • @propellerhead2000
      @propellerhead2000 3 роки тому

      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.

  • @ventana6588

    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 UA-cam. I like the audio quality and rich low freq that the Tascam has, but with that problem being so common, idk...

    • @doobresick
      @doobresick 3 роки тому

      if the DR-05 is taped right next to a handheld wireless mic, it will pick up interference from the wireless transmitter

    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

    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.
