    😁 Hey! This is the best deal I've found for the Tascam DR-10L! Comes with a free SD card and headphones: geni.us/dr10

    • @Ben-fq1lj
      @Ben-fq1lj 6 лет назад +3

      Matt I love DR-10L! One question I have is how you deal with the auto levels. Do you use them? I think from what you said you do. Auto level seems to work pretty well, but sometimes if the pastor takes pauses in between sentences, the auto level quickly turns up the volume and when he speaks loudly it clips and I almost never am able to use the normal version, and have to rely on the -6db version.
      I remember from kraig adams that you can change the sensitivity settings via micro sd and some software? But was just curious how you battle these problems and if you have changed the settings on it?
      Thanks :)

      Have you seen the DR-10CS? They're illegal in the States. lol But they Are the Dr-10 for your Sennheiser system! It works like a redundant recorder in case the Sennheiser looses signal.

    My DR-10L has saved multiple wedding videos! When the wireless mic, or handheld mic, or desk feed, fails or spikes ... this little baby just keeps on recording. I now use for all RUclips vlogs on the road, AND all my online courses in my studio.

    Quite literally yesterday I was running sound on a bigger production, and we had an issue where the client had to go deep inside a building where we legally couldn't follow with cameras. Producers wanted audio from the talent but it was too far for the wireless lavs ---- cue the Tascam DR-10L, yet again saving the day for me and the whole production.

    Matt - you listed every aspect of the DR-10L that I also enjoy. Size, double decibel recording level, power switch, etc. I own two of these, I've used them on every project I've been involved with - and it's the best recorder I have come across. $200 may set some people back - but it shouldn't. This is an amazing value, coupled with that mic it comes with.
    Totally worth the money!

    I am glad you enjoy your DR-10L Matt. I wish I didn't have a bad experience with Tascam and my DR-10L. Customer service is no existent for this company, trying to troubleshoot a card read error was impossible (tried 4 micro sd cards error every time) figured it was the port where it goes in, luckily B& H has a wonderful return policy. Probably would have replaced it with another but the poor support from Tascam made me buy the Zoom F1, a bit more bulky, but out of principle needed to switch companies, a recorder failing 2 days before I have a wedding when I went to test it isn't what I like to have occur.

I had to take the battery out to stop it & that was stupid and what lost my last 15 minutes of recording. Do you have a video to show start stop record, playback? thank you...

    I do gardening videos for RUclips and use an old camera (Canon XF100). I've always had a wireless lav mic with a receiver plugged into the camera and never had to sync a separate audio file. I did see your video about doing that in Premiere, but do you also need a regular mic plugged into the camera for proper syncing? Or do you record the video without sound and then use the DR10L for the audio only? I just ordered one of these to replace my Comica wireless receiver/mic, but now sure how to best do this.

  • @DeputatKaktus
    @DeputatKaktus 6 лет назад

    We were considering this device at work for interview stuff. I like the concept of the device and I like the format as well as the price.
    However: My main concern was the lack of real time monitoring capabilities. We eventually went for a couple of Sennheiser EW100 wireless systems where I can strap the receivers to my camera cage and run the audio into either a Tascam DR60 II or into a Zoom H1n.
    As for wiring up the bride: I would probably try to hide the mic in her hair....with a shoulderless dress as seen on your video that seems like the only place you can put it if you want to keep it hidden from view. But the recorder itself - phew. Tough one. I guess the bride would come down on you like a ton of bricks if you mess with her hair if you need to change the battery at some point. 🤔
    Maybe if you run the mic cable down the back of the neck somehow into some fold of the dress where you can clip the recorder...?
    I am looking forward to the video where you show that.
