Where do I begin? This just works and then some!
I needed something to record my short stories and voice-over work while on the go and while this does require some learning and testing as you go, it's been a joy to discover all its bells and whistles. There are 2 internal stereo microphones that you can set in 2 configurations (A-B and X-Y). It's perfect for ASMR recording if you're into that. There are also 2 XLR inputs and you can plug in microphones that require phantom power (although make sure the mics require phantom power before you turn that feature on or it will blow your mic) which will give you 4 microphones altogether. It can even do overdub which is great for voice-over and role-play audios. It can do punch-and-roll although I haven't mastered that one yet. My favorite option is the Dual recording where it records 2 tracks with the second track recording lower than the first in case you end up peaking or get distortions. I don't know my tech terms but hopefully you get what I'm saying. It's pricey if you're buying it only as a regular recorder but if you do voice over and role-play audios like I do, it's perfect. It records in wav, mp3 and one other format I don't use and can't remember what it is and I usually record in wav, transfer to Audacity for post-production, then export as mp3. I've also recorded in mp3 for direct upload but it's better to record in wave and clean up everything (mouth sounds, clicks, etc) in post later. It can also serve as an interface if you want to record directly to your computer although I haven't tried that yet since I bought it so I could use it on its own while on the go. ... show more

Clean sound, good reverb
I bought this to replace a nearly 10-year-old version of this same model of Tascam recorder。 I loved the old one, and the new one operates just as well。 This is a very good, small recorder, and an excellent value for the money。 Batteries last a long time。 It serves multiple purposes。 I like the Reverb options it offers; I use them when I make final stereo mix downs to this unit。 ... show more

Accurate and easy to use field recorder
I am not an audio recording expert or professional at all -- just a hobbyist. I bought this to use with my drone so I can capture my local city's 4th of July fireworks display and record audio to go along with the drone's video. For that purpose it worked very well. The red audio clipping light kept going off during recording when there were loud explosions, which worried me, but the limiter did its job and the explosions sounded great. It also picked up the quieter sounds, like the softer crackling noises, even about 500 feet away. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The batteries lasted a lot longer than I needed, and I appreciate it can use batteries or USB power. Also I was able to easily transfer the audio via USB cable. The only downside I can find is that the windscreen can push the two microphones back together a little, if they are oriented away from each other. I "fixed" this with a very low tech solution: I folded up a small piece of paper towel, wrapped it in duct tape and shoved it in between the mics to keep them separate. ... show more

Records well, but.....
Very nice recorder. Sadly, the external mike inserts quit working. It will not switch from using the built-in mikes to the plug-in mikes on the bottom. This is quite a big disappointment. I am afraid to take it apart to see if I can fix it, and it is pretty expensive to buy a new one. Otherwise it records very well. The files are a little confusing, but I can live with that. Just wish the external mike plug-ins still worked.. ... show more

Best handheld recorder I've owned
This is by far the best handheld recorder I've owned. I thought about giving it 4 stars because of the poor documentation/owner's manual, but the recorder is too good. A word of advice. If you plan to use external microphones, save yourself a lot of time and frustration. Be sure you have "Balanced" cables to connect the mic to the recorder. I had to work my way through a number of after-market "How-to" presentations to learn this. But before you decide on an external mic, give the onboard mics a try. I use my recorder to record our church's sermons. I want to keep as much equipment out of view as possible, so I mount the recorder on a low-profile tripod on the podium and point the mics toward the speaker. I use the stereo position. The sound quality is excellent. And audience noise is minimal. No regrets. ... show more

Awesome device
Really awesome piece of equipment I haven’t even really dived into it to much since I’ve bought it , but I’ve taken it on a cruise on the airplane and got some cool foley samples, and it held up nicely. Picks up everything I swear I could hear someone fart across the parking lot with this thing

Worthy Successor to the DR-44 (weird product numbering aside)
Anyone complaining about the manual should understand how Tascam does their docs. I've had several of their recorders and the included "Owner's Manual" is a glorified Quick-Start guide in multiple languages. Go to their site and download the DR-40 "Reference Manual", which is 80 pages (in one language) and includes all the feature detail you'll likely need. I loved my DR-44WL for years - except for the flimsy plastic selector wheel and encoder that eventually stopped working. The wireless app never cut it with me so the DR-40 made sense. It retains a lot of the functionality (although I do miss the input level wheel) and the improved selector switches are a huge improvement over the old wheel. Unlike the 44, the DR-40 mics can be positioned in XY or ORTF patterns, plus there are the same two XLR jacks with phantom power. The DR-40 supports a footswitch (handy for dubbing). If you seriously interested in the DR-40, don't just read reviews, go to the site and download the Reference Manual - the site's wide open, no annoying registration or anything, just grab the PDF and read. ... show more

If you need professional results from audio recordings, here it is
We record church services, weddings and remembrance services by using Zoom because since the start of the pandemic we needed to have methods of inclusion even when the virus was rampant to broadcast to those imunocompromised and those choosing to stay fairly isolated. However Zoom was never designed for “performance” grade audio. Organ music comes out terribly overdriven as did a band we had playing for a remembrance recently. This has driven me to purchased this recorder on the advice of a friend who is a professional audio engineer. So those home bound still get fairly terrible sound during the musical positions of service, but the recordings that can now be edited in with the audio from this device can produce final presentations suitable to delivery to our nearby community television station for community broadcast WITH greatly more acceptable music. This is a highly compact unit which has had only minor usage since arrival but my audio engineer friend cautions that for longer recordings having a separate power supply powering the unit provides added security over relying on either regular batteries and especially rechargeables ... show more
