  • Excellent 6 Channel (not 8) capture device
Style: Portacapture X8
Overall, I am quite happy with this device, no problems Six Channels: this will record only six (6) input feeds, not 8 that they imply. Yes, along with the 6 it records a mix-down of the 6 to stereo, however I don't care about this and don't see why anyone would because you take the tracks, dump them into Audacity, and mix to stereo there when you can tweak and adjust correctly. There are ONLY 6 inputs to this device, and calling it X8 is a bit deceptive. I have seen magazine articles claiming that this will work as an 8 channel A-to-D converter, but that is wrong, there are only 6 channels of input. I knew it was only 6 inputs when I bought it, so no problem. Simple to Use: Every single time it records all channels, and I consider that a feature. Sometimes those channels are empty if there was no input, and so later I have to delete them, but the advantage is that you never forget to enable the recording of a channel. Mixer and volume settings were obvious to use. Attached mics did a great job. I set it up in the practice room using attached mics, and then additionally fed the vocal mic signal and some instruments, and the result (after mixing) was great enough for demo tracks. Batteries did die in the middle of one session, so you have to watch out for that, but that was after 5 or 6 hours of recording. For a serious recording you want to plug it in to USB power. Was disappointed that the blue tooth functionality required an additional $50 device, however I bought that so I can control it from the stage. ... show more

  • Very nice recording quality - UI not intuitive (for me)
Style: Portacapture X6
This unit records guitar very nicely, with clear sound all the way down to low E and very low noise. Sound quality is at least an order of magnitude better than sound recorded from a costly Sony video cam. The user interface is OK once you get familiar with it, but there are many options and finding them in the various menu screens requires a learning curve, and it's easy to forget where to find what you want (e.g., enabling/disabling the phantom power). Better user instructions would help, and revising them would be less costly than revising the software. The touch screen has good color and resolution, and the touch function works pretty well. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and I salute the engineering team that developed the hardware. ... show more
