Is it worth the extra $10 or so to pick up the DR05X over the original? I certainly think so! Super cool, the ability to use it as an audio interface. So much power in such a tiny unit. Check out the Tascam DR05x here: amzn.to/3alwUoF
Pues yo adquirí el otro día una unidad de DR-05V02 reacondicionada, y he rcibido la caja de una DR-05X. Espero que la unidad esté realmente nueva como parece la propia caja
My DR-05 just died after 11 yrs of occasional use. Some of the live band recordings I've made with the DR-05 over the years are pretty amazing. Looking forward to using the DR-05X.
This is such good content! You demystified my DR-05X in a mere 13 minutes and 15 seconds. I'm new to audio recording and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I feel much more confident now and can't wait to start working on my motovlog.
I purchased one of these for recording interviews because I like quality audio. Now I'm using it for content creation as well. The sound is amazing. Thanks for the tips on use. Especially on the input record volume!
Even though I have a newly acquired DR-07x, I stumbled upon this video and it was SO helpful! Thank you so much for helping me to understand some things that I had no clue looking at this sucker. 😄 So grateful for the tutorial.
Dude, I started watching your audio tutorials weeks ago when I bought the DR-05X, and I just now realized you're also a magician. I've been performing magic for over 20 years, and I've always wanted to be a filmmaker as well but I'm just now getting around to it. Those 2 fields have always seemed to go hand-in-hand, so it's cool to find another artist who is into both! Your tutorials have been very helpful. Looking forward to the upcoming premier on your other channel 'How to do live theater during a pandemic'. This definitely needs to be addressed. Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks for the quality info.
Great video Brian. I have the Tascam DR -05. I purchased it due to your recommendation in your review of it. It is an amazing unit. It has served me well. Thank you for your work. I've gain a great deal of knowledge from your channel and look forward to new videos from you.
I have one arriving today, looking forward to doing some ambient/nature recordings. The only thing I don't like, are the micro USB types. They are flimsy and when they were the 'new thing' 10-15 years ago, I had a few items break purely due to that type of usb socket! On small items like this, USB C should already be the standard, like it has been on phones for years. I'd pay the extra few coins. Great content and very helpful video, thanks.
Just picked this model up last night. Did absolutely no research, just got it b/c it was on sale. have to say I'm extremely pleased with my results. Used it to record at a rave which, I was flying a drone to capture video.
This told me what i was missing: SD CARD READER option in USB CONNECT. All I need to do is record my band rehearsal, then upload that file to my PC for work in Audacity. The manual shows nothing about this, only about AUDIO I/F, which got me nowhere. Very simple, now that I know how. Thank you much.
Hey Brian, thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to follow, video tutorial on the setup and use of the Tascam DR-05X. I used Tascam professional products about 20-years ago and I'm happy to know it manufactures a hand held recording device that I can use for dictation (to text using software not included), as well as other recording needs. Really appreciate your time.
the dr05x also supports micro SD cards larger than 32GB (max of the original dr05) and a benefit of both is that you can USB power them with a powerbank
Many years ago i bought a Tascam 4 track to use making demos for the band i was in. Fast forward 20 yrs and i am trying to put together a home studio. I bought a Tascam 24 track and soon regretted that did this. I should have gotten Pro Tools. It records to a SD card and the more tracks you put on it the less recording time you have. Ive been using looper pedals for capturing song ideas but was looking at this for doing that. Appreciate your vid, thanks
Just noticed that it appears you have a Tascam 24 trck. Can you hook that to your computer so you have endless recording time? I found that using many tracks cuts down your recording time when recording to SD card
Using the overdub feature on the DR-05X was as exiting as getting my first four track. You don't have any mixing functions, but it's so easy to record right off the bat it's worth it (hit record and it asks if it's a new track or you're overdubbing on the previous track. Easy.) Sit it on your lap to record drums, layer a couple guitars & vocals: BAM.
This is one of the best tutorials on UA-cam. I just bought one for my motovlogging. 1st time I used it was a disaster. But after watching your video, I think I have the right settings. You got a new subscriber!
I received my Tascam DR-05x this week. I really like the menu interface. I have a dslr that has a mono mic built in and no mic jack. So I picked up this unit from Amazon. I also plan to use it as an interface for my laptop. So I picked up a manfrotto mini tripod for when I’m at home. . I’m adding a cold shoe mount with shock mount for the top of the dslr. All recordings will have to sync in post when I’m back from what I’m doing. I may make a UA-cam video with the unit Great tutorial. Picked up a few tips so thank you for that
Thank you so much for this mate! I’ve been putting aside setting up mine and it’s been months but this video gave me everything I needed! You explained it in a clear and concise manner, especially with the settings, such a good way to educate and inform. You’ve earned a sub! Feel like I’ve found my go to sound help channel now aha! Keep up the good work!
Heads up for the uninitiated: BUY the power adapter with the recorder. I can not beleive how quickly these go through batteries. I put in two brand new TOL AA's yesterday, wathced this video and set it up, played around with it today and already its down to one bar. I'm ordering one now. For all they do maybe I should have known this but I'm a newbie, so. Its an incredible product BTW.
Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for, and very well and easily explained. I'm new to audio (but very interested) and content creation, and now I will hit the subscribe button! Looking forward to watching and learning more from your channel!
Just purchase one and the setup is easy and recorded a few conga drum tracks. Your video really helped me get started and opened my eyes to many of its capabilities. Not bad for $100 bucks
Thank you very much for that video ! You explain everything very clearly and understandably. Before I found you I didn't know anything about audio settings. I love your channel :*
Thank you so much for this detailed video it’s even better than the first one without you I wasn’t gonna by the tascam or the movo, but after I saw what you were saying and you really know what you’re talking about I bought both of them ... thank you so much it was the best purchase I’ve made to my UA-cam channel 🤝
Brian, love your channel. I just ordered the DR-05X and waiting for it to arrive. On the difference between WAV and MP3 @2:30, you said, "Wav is to MP3, as Raw files are to JPEGs." Did you mean to say "WAV is to Raw as MP3 is to JPEGs?" I watched your set-up guide for the older DR-05 and you said "WAV=Raw, MP3=JPEG." I know WAV is the better format, but just want to clarify. Again, love the audio content of your channel: I've learned a lot!
You saved me life! Spent time figuring out the set up and gadgets I should buy is just exhausting and sometimes ( a lot of times) the quality is still shite😅 Thank you! And next time can you spend more time talking about the position the equipment should go or set up in a studio? That can really us ameteurs😭
Ive been using a dr-05 for the past three or four years for all my podcast and recordings, and it is all I need. I haven't seen the ex-model, but I assume it doesn't have that much more... as I said that you just covered it. The sound quality is amazing in these things. It's all you need, I wanted to upgrade but decided it wasn't worth the extra money
I’m looking into this myself for podcasts, performances as well as field recording. I’m on a poverty budget. Do you just use the mic of the tascam or do you plug in an external mic?
Hey I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Tascam DR-07X and if it is worth the extra £30 over the DR-05X. This is such a clear concise tutorial and I will watch it again if I decide to buy the Tascam DR-05X instead.
WICKED! Thanks best 13 minutes I have spent watching a helpful video. I have a couple questions in a reader hub that regards to the sd cards and card readers and the 48k vs 96k. 1. Should I reformat old sd cards on the recorder or on the computer? 2.Can you suggest a good reliable multiple reader hub ( I have old sd cards different formats that I want to transfer , so 2birds 1 stone!) 3. How to choose the right mini sd card in terms of speed, format and size? 4. If I am primarily using the audio for video shot on 4k @24fps, which speed should I be using for audio 48k or 96k Thanks in advance !
Yep! It's my b cam. Great camera. Lacks some of the picture profiles, no mic jack, and no articulating or flip up screen. But otherwise a killer package for very cheap.
I have a pair of Slint lav mics that I'm trying to use for dual track/stereo audio for some interviewing, but I've yet to be able to get it to record stereo.
Maaaaan, that was amazing review! I'm currently thinking about purchasing audio interface and xlr mic but I think that thanks to your advice I can save some money and invest it into this tiny devil.
Very informative. I did have a question about how to label a recording. The instructions don't explain this. Maybe you can cover this in a future tutorial.
04:07 2GB is not the best option - this setting tells you what the maximum single file the recorder can create if you record continuously for many hours. For example, if we record 16bit/44.1k, the recorder will automatically "break" the files every 3 hours and 20 minutes (for 16bit/48kHz respectively 3h and 6m) and further recording will be in the next file. However, if in the meantime a serious failure occurs (e.g. sudden power loss), then unfortunately the entire previous record is irretrievably lost. For this reason, it is worth considering whether to use a lower value of automatic file splitting (we have here from 64MB to 2GB). Of course, the safest option is 64MB, i.e. closing one file and opening another one every 64MB, but this in turn means that we have only about 6 minutes of recording in one file, the continuation is in the next and in the next. Then we need to "glue" these files together. But on the other hand, we are almost 100% sure that in the event of a failure we will only lose the last 6 minutes. In the recorder, we can choose the following values: 64, 128, 256, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB. It is worth thinking ahead and choosing the right value, depending on how valuable the recording we are making and how high a degree of reliability we expect. 04:50 HPF - najlepsza opcja dla nagrań mowy to 80Hz, ponieważ w głosie ludzkim nie ma właściwie żadnych użytecznych dźwięków poniżej 80Hz (a nawet poniżej 100). W skrajnych przypadkach można użyć 120Hz. Co prawda będzie wówczas słychać lekkie podcięcie niskich częstotliwości, ale razem w tym podcięciem będą niwelowane zakłócenia od np. wiatru lub drgań, które przenoszą się na mikrofon (w przypadku wiatru oczywiście zawsze należy stosować gąbki ochronne, pop-filtr)

I just bought the dr07x. I hope it is just as good as the Dr05x 🙏🏼
Pues yo adquirí el otro día una unidad de DR-05V02 reacondicionada, y he rcibido la caja de una DR-05X. Espero que la unidad esté realmente nueva como parece la propia caja
does the function work as an interface for linux, ubuntu?
@@edwardfletcher7790 Thanks :)
My DR-05 just died after 11 yrs of occasional use. Some of the live band recordings I've made with the DR-05 over the years are pretty amazing. Looking forward to using the DR-05X.
This is such good content! You demystified my DR-05X in a mere 13 minutes and 15 seconds. I'm new to audio recording and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I feel much more confident now and can't wait to start working on my motovlog.
Excellent presentation. Simple and clear.
Straight to the point without all the unnecessary fluff that one (more often than not) comes across on UA-cam. Perfect!
I purchased one of these for recording interviews because I like quality audio. Now I'm using it for content creation as well. The sound is amazing. Thanks for the tips on use. Especially on the input record volume!
Great Video. I'm using this for a show in 2hrs and learned everything I needed to know in 14mins. Thank you.
Even though I have a newly acquired DR-07x, I stumbled upon this video and it was SO helpful! Thank you so much for helping me to understand some things that I had no clue looking at this sucker. 😄 So grateful for the tutorial.
This was by far the most helpful video on using my DR-05x. Thanks for your effort in making this!
Dude, I started watching your audio tutorials weeks ago when I bought the DR-05X, and I just now realized you're also a magician.
I've been performing magic for over 20 years, and I've always wanted to be a filmmaker as well but I'm just now getting around to it. Those 2 fields have always seemed to go hand-in-hand, so it's cool to find another artist who is into both!
Your tutorials have been very helpful. Looking forward to the upcoming premier on your other channel 'How to do live theater during a pandemic'. This definitely needs to be addressed.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks for the quality info.
Great to meet you, man! Thanks so much.
Thank you I just learned how to use my new Christmas present!
Thank you! I use the DR 05 for recording my duo for promos. I am audio-naive. You provided many things I needed to know!
you explain every bit of details better than anyone else. Thank you 🙏
Underrated channel, very nice walkthrough, keep up the quality content! 🚀
Thanks Niklas!
The absurdity of 4K subscribers makes me confused. This channel deserves at least triple that.
Super kind of you.
Excellent video, many thanks

really did help. I got this thing a year ago for my new podcast I started in 2020 but I don't feel I am taking full advantage until now.
Thank you sir for explanation.
This is THE reference to use... greatly improved my audio. Thanks!
One of the best setup guides on youtube! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just purchased mine and it is amazingly clear recording.
Great!!

any idea how to get decent quality into audacity? The interface works but the recording quality is terrible. anyone know the settings? thanks
This is spectacularly helpful! Amazing video. Thank you so much! 😁
This is truly an amazing channel. Finally the content I was looking for!!!
Great!
12:54 That sounds shockingly good. About $150 for that combo is fantastic bang for the buck.
Thank you, this was an excellent intro to a great little unit 👍

Thank you for the class...The best yet!
Excellent information. Very well made review and instruction. Thank you.
liking the gx85 I think was in your frame. Thats exactly why I'm looking at this.
Yep! It's my b cam. Great camera. Lacks some of the picture profiles, no mic jack, and no articulating or flip up screen. But otherwise a killer package for very cheap.
Excellent video. Answered all my questions. I'll use your link to purchase 👍
🙏
Great video, very helpful. You need way more subs!
Great review, I'll definitely buy one of these
Thanks great video!
thank you for excellent video
Awesome! Thanks. Needed that info.
This video are awesome and very informative. Thank you.
I have a pair of Slint lav mics that I'm trying to use for dual track/stereo audio for some interviewing, but I've yet to be able to get it to record stereo.
Maaaaan, that was amazing review! I'm currently thinking about purchasing audio interface and xlr mic but I think that thanks to your advice I can save some money and invest it into this tiny devil.
They are two different solutions for different purposes, but yes, many people would be well served starting with the DR05X. It might be all you need!
This is really helpful, thank you!
Cool video!! Have you done a video for Tuscan Dr40x?
This is great - thanks
Great stuff! Thanks a million!
Very informative. I did have a question about how to label a recording. The instructions don't explain this. Maybe you can cover this in a future tutorial.
Thank you it helps a lots !!!
You made this so easy for me to set up Thank you so much.
Thanks bro. You're the best. Blessings!
Great video. I just purchased the DR-07X. I assume it has the same specs.
Great set up video, thanks.
When I start recording, it's recorded for only 7sec.,
Why is it so?
Thank you for your time.
How do you correct a recording, i.e go back and over record the mistake?
Great tutorial.
Amazing video, thanks!
THANK YOU HELPED ME A LOT !!
Nice video !
Would you say the Tascam DR-05X is a good option to start interviewing people ?
Excellence. Thank you. Great Tutorial.
Great video, thank you very much!
Just saved my life! Thanks so much! s2
Thank you so much for this informative video. I just bought the same device it was really helpful.
Thank you
I’m a total novice
I’d like to see the micro sd card installed , thanks
