    I went back and forth trying to decide between these two devices for over a week. Landed on the Tascam because of the line level setting. I’ve used it now for a few weeks. Very happy with it. If I had seen this video, I could have saved myself hours of internal debate. Thanks for putting out some good information!

      @@Valerick I currently use it in my jam room from the board with the onboard mics at the same time. Then afterwards I will mix both sets of stereo tracks together. Off of the board sounds very good! The room mics sounds great, but position in the room matters, as you might imagine. In short, yes. And it sounds great!

    Excellent review. I’ve been wrestling over which of these recorders to buy, and after watching so many different videos on the comparison between the two, I think I was starting to suffer from analysis paralysis. However, your video has brought healing to my mind, and I think I’m settled on purchasing the DR-40X. Some may see the fact that the DR-40X is made of plastic as a negative, but I think it’s a positive compared to the rubberized outer coating on the H4N Pro, because that rubber gets sticky over time to the point where it almost unusable. Also, the DR-40X may only have reverb for an effect, but if I want more than that I can just load the file into my computer DAW (Garage Band, Audacity, etc.) and add effects from there. I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the DR-40X. Thanks, mate!

The Tascam DR-40X is better for my purposes. I wish you all the best. Another reason I like the D40x is that the controls are the same as with their other smaller models. No learning curve there :)
