Every time pleased to watch MOJA'S explanatory videos. Great job!
this is what I was looking for, thanks for the brilliant explanation man! subscribed!
@DJcity TV thank you for all knowledge dropping in your videos much appreiate
Very accurate, precise and short video. Has much relavancy
Great tips man! Keep up the good work
You're the man after listening to hours of others. So this mic would be great for wedding receptions.
that's what i call a nice tutorial, thx a lot mate!!
Huge! Thank you kindly
Thanks mate, you’re the man
Great Video!
Perfect. Thank you
This is brilliant
I’ve tried and failed many times over the years trying to record the mix with the ambience. Thanks for the review - think I’m on to a winner now!
so how did it work out for you?
Rewatching this...I took a chance on a cheap original Zoom h4...which won’t record 4 tracks simultaneously...but I’m going to test the line inputs before I relist it on eBay...as I know you can change the usb record attenuation on the DJM-750mk2 via the utility. I want to see if this changes the physical record output too
I've been watching countless videos about the dr40 and zoomh4 because of the line level input I will choose the dr40 the buttons are noisy tho but I will have to work around it
Hello, thanks for your videos, I would like to know what’s the best option for recording sets in HIGH QUALITY audio, which one it’s better for this purpose, Zoom, tascam or evermix?
Are handy recorders better than evermix?
Please help, if there is no difference at all I’ll buy evermix...
Hey this was quit helpful,thanks. Ive been desperate to get answer to something. Ive been using the Amplify Groovebox app on my iPad and it doesn't let you stream live so you can use the effects whilst mixing and making a track. I purchased the TASCAM dr-44wl. All i want is to record whatever sound/music is coming out of my iPad live to be recorded and saved onto the tascam? would i need a sound mixer and how can i connect them all together. You would be a hero if you could help. Thanks a lot
hi mate is there a way of recording just the crowd noise using the mics and the recording of the output from the mixer separately so you can then match the two up? The 4 channel recording i have done you can hear the crowd great but the actually tunes are a bit queit/not good enough quality to post
Thank you for sharing! Do you know if SONY D50 recorder can work like this?
Dope Shirt MojaxxVDJ! I have a DR40 too. Good video.
Hello, I was wondering where would be the best placement for the recorder to have the best crowd noise audio quality and not get all the bass sound which ruins the original master recorded audio when you add crowd noise to it. Thanks!
Hello! I just bought a new DR-40V2, but I can't get a proper sound out of it when trying to record a DJ set via LINE IN. The sound is not proper quality (not clean), it sound kind of waterish .. (I don't really know how to explain it). I tried recording from a Pioneer DJM 700 (rec out), a STANTON RM-3S (rec out) and directly from my cellphone with an AUX cable, but the problem with the sound is still the same. I guess there is maybe a problem either with the settings inside the device or wrong cables? Please let me know exactly what kind of settings and cables (balanced/unbalanced) you use.
If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it!
Can anyone recommend some settings or tweaks for recording a set at a club? I'm wondering if anyone's already figured some things with the filters and stuff in the settings.
Great explanation thank you! I’ve just ordered the zoom h4n pro but did also order the attenuators so fingers crossed it works out ok!
how does it work? I have a pioneer djm and am considering the h4n but if the attenuator isn't going to work well all around with it.... thanks in advance
@@DerekFrady you need a couple adapters
Can anyone help me out? Total noob here. What settings do you use on the DR40 for recording the mix? How many dB of headroom is best?
Could you possibly do a video review on how you process the audio recording once inside Ableton,ie Eq,limiter, low cut,high cut,compression etc. It would be great to get that polished,professional sound when uploading and playback in Soundcloud etc.
Many thanks.
I would also be interested in that
@@rosta2899
1. Low cut at 28-30Hz
2. Don't need to compress, all the tracks are mastered anyway
3. Add limiter and gain it up until you 0db but check the meter isn't working too hard and distorts parts of the mix
There is a function to record at -6db to -12db in the Tascam, id probably do that and increase it after in a DAW.
Will there be a video explaining working setups for quality 4ch live streaming with crowd noise?
Picked up the Tascam DR-44WL today to record some of my record collection. The playback sound quality is tip top, HiRes Audio. Do your research, peoples.
what wires will i need for this to connect it to the xdj rx2
Good video
is there a tascam that works recording the 6 channels on a pioneer v 10 or the v 10 lf?
Cheers Mate
Please put links of those cables so I can buy them. Thanks!
what do you think about the new Roland r 07? :)
Dude 😮😢Please Help me!!!!! Ive just bought the Tascam dr-40x as an upgrade to my old dr-05 specifically for recording audio 🔉 line level ie. Dj pioneer DJM and a Yamaha MG166cx
Just like what you're doing hear but without the crowd n, just stereo L/R
But my levels are really low 😮 I've tried every possible sinario, record out, stereo outputs, aux out and even headphone 🎧 out !!! All New cables, every other method of recording works fine, what the Hell am i doing wrong???? Any suggestions before I sell it 😢 jaffa Jenkins jams
Can you plug a camcorder into a mixer like you would with a phone
Cheers for this. Can you record without crowd noise and are the wav files always split? I guess if they're stereo then yer but mono, no?
Sorry for being stupid, watched a very unhelpful video criticizing it beforehand
MoJaxx! I've been looking for a good way to record my live sets for YEARS. Reading reviews upon reviews of many different multitrack recorders. I wanted to be able to get room sound as well as clean line level audio. I finally saw this video, and trusted your input on the DR-40. So I bought one, and used it last night for a 6 hour set here in Minneapolis, MN (USA). Just listened to the tracks... and it's PERFECT! Thank you so much for this brief tutorial, and product recommendation! I'll share a link when the files are done uploading!
Here is a set recorded with the Tascam DR-40 with all 4 channels (internal mic's, with line outs from a DJM900nxs): www.mixcloud.com/teddymac/blend-session-the-loft-mpls-7-23-16/
another set recorded with the DR-40. However we were using an older, beat, DJM600 mixer. The levels got a bit hot for the recorder about halfway through. But all in all, still perfect! www.mixcloud.com/teddymac/blend-session-150-live-7-30-16/

Have you since found you need an attenuator with the DJM 600 rec out to WAV recording on the dr40x? I've just bought the dr40x. Am I okay to just rely on the tascam in built limiter? Thank you
is it possible even with the DR-05??
Hi, Is there a good iPhone App that could be used to record DJ sets, buy using a RCA to Mini Jack cable. RCA plugged into the Record Out on a mixer, and the Mini Jack plugged into the Headphone port on a iPhone. Then record the audio coming into the iPhone with a App. ???
NC Preedy that would be awesome!
Rode Rec app for iPhone ;)
Does any body know that laptop stand he's using ?
please tell me if it's possible to record a studio DJ set without the use of microphones (the sound of the crowd), only using XLR connectors? only channels 3, 4.
Of course. Change the record mode settings and you can record the input only.
nice
i guess the DR-05x won't suffice for capturing crowd noise on a seperate track?
I have a tascam dr05, I want to know what the optimal settings are to use for it, or should I get rid of it because it doesnt work well with mixers?
I have a DR-05 too, it's what I run my microphone into in all these videos! But yes, it can be a problem getting it to cope with line level.
My suggestion would be to check out the -25db Fentronix attenuator I demoed in the live streaming video a few weeks ago on this channel. I originally bought that attenuator to use with my DR-05 to record my sets. It's cheap, they ship worldwide, and it will do the job nicely.
Obviously the 05 is only a 2 channel recorder so you can't do crowd noise too, regardless.
Hey It mayb sounds weird but I tried an earphone In-Line Volume Control cable and it worked out pretty good for my DR-05. I Can adjust the level on the cable and it was a cheap solution for around 2,99 euro's. I hope it will help you out! As an example, I got exactly the same cable as this one ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419XG4XlHBL._SX425_.jpg
Anyone else have any experience with H4N pro??
Thanks to this video I bought the Tascam DR40. Great piece of Gear. Except the line level is always clipping when I connect to a pioneer DJM 850 or 900... Any tips?
+DJPJAYakaMRSHAKE MR.SHAKE. The Level of the external input is set to 0 (lowest)
+MR. SHAKE are you using the record output from the mixer?
+teddy mac Yes, but the problem solved itself somehow...
+MR. SHAKE odd...
i have a DR-05 Tascam but it keep clipping out mostly when .. i play the input level is mostly too high so would like to know how to lower the input level of the mix which is being recorded from the back of the mixer from the rec out port rca ps i know u can lower the volume but its a t zero db and still to loud and it looks like the only way to lower the volume is on the mixer but that lowers the whole party so .. i guess its just a bad setup in the parties i mostly play abroad where the system is not alway up to standard .. and is there a way to record the crowd with this version i saw u can do iy with dr 40 ... thanxxxx J.
+jimbo Bagginsz
The DR-05 doesn't have a proper line in, this is why the levels are to high
+Mark Williamson hey thx yes i was aware of that fact shortly after i posted this and thats why i have sold it and will buy the DR-40 instead what do u think or better buy the zoom .. ?
Hi, sounds like a good move, I bought the DR-40 for this reason, waiting for it to arrivw
Anyone got info on attenuators to use the zoom h4n with pioneer djm 800.
✌️
I use 1/4" jacks out of the aux send from DJM-750mk2 and it works fine. just turn the gain down to somewhere in the .5-.8 range, which is an option. Works fine.
Thx for your tutorial! Do you have your recorded set anywhere to listen? im wondering that there are no phaseinterferences because you record the PA Signal too...?
Thx a lot
Here is a set recorded with the Tascam DR-40 with all 4 channels: www.mixcloud.com/teddymac/blend-session-the-loft-mpls-7-23-16/
THX for your link, sounds really good, and cool set! cheers
I might add another plus with this recorder... it is battery powered, but it can be powered via the USB cable it comes with. I've been powering it off the CDJ, and when disconnected it keeps recording off battery power. It's been perfect!
+teddy mac where did you set it up? how far away was the crowd? thx
i am looking for something similar, but unfortunately my budget doesn't allow it. are there any alternatives? I tried to record trough audacity but that doesn't do the trick
bert coertjens You can also go Old School and get an old VCR (Hi-Fi) and record your set. If you have a good one you'll be shocked and amazed at the sound. Some folks might clown on you so put it under the table (fugg em). If your VCR doesn't have level lights back off of your rec out from your mixer. You can add volume later but once you record a distorted set you can't take the volume back. Do Do in, Do Do out. Best part is up to 2 - 6 hrs record time depending on record speed and Hi-Fi video tape limits.
Can u split the tracks ?
i have the ddjsx2 can somebody tell me where i could get the rite cables to hook up my dr-40
just record using serato...
Master out or Booth. Whichever out you use make sure the cable has either XLR or 1/4 ends to feed you dr-40.
The TASCAM DR-60D is another good field recorder battery life on it isnt that great however it is full of features. If you purchase an external battery like the 10,000 mah KMASHI from ebay or Amazon that makes the DR-60D a powerhouse.
The 60D does look absolutely killer as an all-round recorder (I'd love one for shooting these videos), but as it has no built-in mics, it would be a lot more hassle for the particular application we're talking about here.
I had trouble with the H4N as well
Yes im struggling atm
Am facing a difficulty on how do i separate the external with internal. Meaning i want to get only the set from the decks and not the microphone noise.
Go into your recording settings and click external
Thank you, brother. The video is very helpful. Cheers from Los Angeles #djmenphisto
One question. What if on some sets you don't want the crowd noise at all but just want the set to be recording, Is this possible to do this?
I think you should record both separately
Yes. These units are multitrack (4 capable) Don't arm the external mics and they won't record.
How would those microphones not just record the music you’re playing out loud? How would it pic up crowd noise and not just be overpowered by the music?
The presented 4-channel option allows you to record seperately the signal (directly picked up) from your mixer and the crowd (with your music from PA) recorded with the internal mics on your recorder. At postproduction you can use now the mixer signal to minimize your music on the mic signal. Kinda like active noise canceling works. And than decide how much you wanna have your crowd heard on your mix ;-)
@@VisitorQ2 what happens when u are using all 4 chans ?
@@markyruss As decribed it at the post up there: you're using all 4 channels at the 4-channel-method. Two pairs of inputs at the same time: first pair directly pickking up from the mixing console (L+R = 2 Ch) AND the second pair records from the internal microphones (again: L+R = 2 Ch). That means you have the stereorecord from the mic's and the direct pickup. (Mic L+R) + (Mixer L+R) = 4 channel recording.
The recorder (specially the Mic's) should be positioned the right way, in front of the DJ heading to the crowd, and if possible not directly within the monitors speaker range to reduce the music on the "crowd-recording" and any possible delays. The Pa should have been set up the right way too, means the speakers are aligned to the crowd and leveled up the right way.
You can't record crowd without recording the music in the background. But you can use this music on that record "crowdrecord" to sync the both records (Mic's(= Crowd) and Mixer) together and use filters on the crowd recording to reduce music. Than you level the volume and stereo effect of the crowd and mix it onto your clean musicrecording. Violá! Kinda tricking, but works fine for me ;-)
@@VisitorQ2 how exactly do you process your mix? What daw are using ? Any plugins ? Thanks
Bedroom Djs can sample crowd noise and use their imagination.
or youtube
