  • Great Little Recorder
I bought the DR-05 back in 2011 and frequently used it for live band recordings. It died last week after 10+ yrs. I was tempted to try another brand but since I was happy with the quality of the TASCAM recordings, I stuck with TASCAM. For editing software, I use free Audacity and Studio One. Some of my recordings sound excellent. I also recorded my drums for youtube videos with the DR-05. This DR-05X has some extra features like brighter screen and added effects like reverb. I like the portability of the unit as it fits in my drumstick bag easily. The interface is very easy to use. The unit comes with batteries but does NOT include micro SD card and cable for PC. So, right out of the box, you cannot use the recorder unless you have a micro SD card on hand. The unit has no built-in memory. But for under a hundred bucks, I can't complain. I'll be happy if I get at least another 10 years out of this new unit. You can spend more on other recorders, but this little recorder is a great buy at this price point. One small issue - I had to return the first DR-05X I received due to the display light flickering. Amazon provided a replacement right away which works fine. ... show more

  • A freakingmasing!!
You know when i got it? I was a little disappointed cuz it look kinda cheap. The built in speaker doesn't give it any faith either. BUT!! i ordered some stereo small headset so i don't look suspicious out n about. Girl! U gotta use it with headsets to really hear the crazy quality behind this beast! I have it at 50% input n i can still hear myself breathing! The audio captured with this device is impressive as hell! I been capturing things my own ears cant! Literally picks up cars running at 2-3 blocks away. I am in my room n it picks up the motor of my fan at 10 feet away from it. Tried vaping in the room and at 1-2 feet away it picks up the button press, the heat up mechanism and even the circuitry powering on! Thats crazy! The left n right channels are very sensitive, u can walk around it n its like i am whispering to myself. This is the best pull of a trigger investment i ever done! To use with your phone? Dont forget to get a usb cable and a usb male c/lightning to usb A and power. Then go to settings and activate usb options. Your blogging will go up like crazy. I paired my rig with a bluetooth mic and i dual record environments and high quality sound effects. My door does like a very light creek sound but this thing turns that gentle sound into horror movie quality. If you are an audiophile? This is the best not to expensive option! Sd is up to 128gb no biggie u can just buy a stack for cheap. Would had liked it to be bluetooth but i know the usb will deliver just fine. No latency delay or crackling just raw audio. I highly recomend for anybody wanting a high quality mic option u can just strap to your body or camera n get better audio quality with phones etc. u may have to play with input, at lower input your voice sounds crisps n cleaner due to not picking up things miles away. Full input? Get yourself headphones that can handle the high pitch of everything all at once. I tested it in my room with close door. It picks up conversations through walls coming from the tv in the living room! Dont forget to buy the furry wind thingy it does not bring one. I chose no case option n just bought a pair of fleece socks. They keep my baby safe n cozy. Easy to take out and keep the accessories in the other sock. ... show more

  • 1.5 year review...Great for Motovlogging.
I use this with a $20 lav mic in my motorcycle helmet. It's a Shoei Neotec 2 to be precise. I routed the mic in the helmet with a wire coming out the back of the helmet. Plug that into another wire down to my chest pocket where I have the Tascam. It works fantastic. The reason for the second wire is I don't always use this on every road trip and I don't want a long wire on my helmet all the time. Now, good wires is the key to this or you can get popping sounds with bad connections. My Harley is extremely loud so I needed this unit for proper voice vlogging. It just works. I don't try to wire this to my computer. I pop out the SD card and load it into my computer and upload the soundtrack straight to iMovie or Final Cut Pro X. Has served me well for a year and a half now. All my motorcycle videos, I'm using this. The 2 AA batteries work well and I can record multiple videos for over a week of daily use, usually an hour a day. I really haven't tracked the exact time I get, just know that I change the batteries out after about 10-15 hour long recordings as best I can remember, maybe shorter, maybe longer. I keep two spare batteries in the case holder I bought for this. I highly recommend this as an external recording device. GoPro cameras don't have the greatest mics when you are driving a Harley 70mph down the interstate. And I didn't like the external dongle for the newer GoPros. With this, I can use multiple cameras and one sound track of all of it. It's a good idea to give a sharp hand clap for a spike in the audio so you can link up the voice with the video. Just makes editing easier. I have no idea how good this Tascam is for studio recording because that's not what I use it for. But if you make YT videos with multiple cameras, this is the ticket. Highly recommend it for that. I did try to use it on one of my gun range shooting videos but the gun shot reports were too much. The GoPro mics do a good job of stopping the noise spikes on gun shots at the range. But for the speaking part of those videos, this works great there too. Anyway, just my experience with this unit. Still works fantastic a year and a half later. ... show more
