Wonderful video that coincides with your previous one! What would be a good way for me to use 4 headphones with this device? I assume an aux splitter, right? I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff, so I don't know where to find good gear for such a purpose, if it even exists at all.
amzn.to/3YVtC6W. I use these affordable boxes in the studio all the time. They do require power, though so if you're looking for something for field work you might want to grab one of these as well: amzn.to/4fVPZza Mahalo for watching!
I've never tried that. You can certainly select USB as an input device to play audio into your Tascam from a phone or tablet. (Input Select) Not sure about using the mic on your phone, though. Best just to purchase the best mic you can afford instead. Here's a video on the mics I use in the studio. Mahalo for your support. ruclips.net/video/zLCgu3gCQIk/видео.html
Is it possible to overdub on track? Like a looper function or is „overdub/punch in“ only overwriting an existing track? Overdubbing would save tracks maybe for background vocals. If possible, where to change between overdub and punch in?
It may be possible but this is certainly not the right tool for that job. You would be better off recording into a free DAW like Garage Band. I wouldn't even consider trying to multitrack record with the Tascam. Zoom has a new, affordable device better suited for this as well. Mahalo for watching. ruclips.net/video/1tEVOpkxnm8/видео.html
what do you think about using the auto gain ? I normally plug into a power box at a wedding and the DJ goes up and down with the volume ( im going to be using the 32 bit float )
Good idea! I've never tried it like that. I've used it to record a boardroom meeting. With live concert recordings I like a consistent level for mastering in post. Mahalo
No I can't say that I have. Just the Zoom F8-N Pro which I really enjoyed on a film shoot. Last night I tried a little Zoom Q2n on a live video shoot. Seemed to do a pretty good job capturing 24/48 audio as well as decent 4K video. Mahalo for watching, Stevio
I have not had any problems with the screen so far or any other issues. I don't use the unit too heavily and it's only about two years old. So, we will see how it holds up over time. (Please do make a good case for it) Mahalo! ruclips.net/video/VI0o_t3gcyo/видео.html
I guess in « pause record » mode, pressing record once puts the device in rec-pause… then you can check the levels… and press record again to launch the record. Right ? 41:10
Yes. That's correct. It's based off of the original DR-100. I never liked this mode. It was easy to think it was recording when it actually wasn't. When I see a red light it should mean "rolling!"
Just a waste of a nice, big knob, right? I wish they would re-invent this unit with a Mk II version. Looks like Zoom is gonna outdo Tascam on this one. Mahalo!
@@Flitzefeuersocke You actually don't have to wait. This new H6e device from Zoom seems to check all the boxes. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/O02k6r13LkE/видео.html
I'm really not sure. That Tascam home screen is kind of a waste. Let's see if they improve on it or if Zoom will take the lead with their new recorders. Mahalo!
To play the last file recorded, just tap the play button on the left side of the wheel.
Thanks for the info
Thanks for tuning in!

@@HiPunch Thank you for the reply! I will be sure to stay tuned to what you have to offer in the future!
Thank you so much for sharing. Now how do you connect the recorder to the iPhone 15 Pro Max? 🙂
I’m honestly not sure how one would do that. How do you normally import files into you iPhone?
You want to use the x8 to record the audio to your phone's video?
Do you know if you can record audio from a phone or tablet over usb into the Tascam?

@@HiPunch thanks a lot, very good tutorial

Hello, nice video. Can you advise, can atomos trigger tascam recorder when pressing record button on atomos
Sorry. I've never worked with an Atomos system. I know this works with other cameras automatically. Please let me know and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video!!
Did you ever try the Zoom R4?
No I can't say that I have. Just the Zoom F8-N Pro which I really enjoyed on a film shoot. Last night I tried a little Zoom Q2n on a live video shoot. Seemed to do a pretty good job capturing 24/48 audio as well as decent 4K video. Mahalo for watching, Stevio
Do you have any screen burning problem (when same screen is show’n for long time)? Screen backlight bleedin? Any other findings?

1:00:43 Input 5/6 and Ext1 cannot be used at the same time
Is that right? Are you sure? I've never tried doing that. Mahalo for the input.

Thanks, how do I transfer my files onto my computer or Ipad?
Remove the micro SSD and stick it into your computer to drag/copy the files. You can also use an adapter into your iPad.
I believe if you press the stop button twice it carries u to the launcher
What size SD card and speed are you using?
Thanks, Ill try that. I use a 256 GB Sans disc Extreme.@@ugosage

I think Tascam hasn't really figured out usability in UI; e.g. why can't you use the big knob o navigate files or select functions?

@@HiPunch but i heared, the preamps of the zoom aren’t as good as ones of the tascam… and that matters to me…
@@Flitzefeuersocke I feel the same way. Tascam pre amps are great but look at the mics that come with the Zoom plus six XLR inputs!
With a color screen, why they don't implemente mp4 reading.
I'm really not sure. That Tascam home screen is kind of a waste. Let's see if they improve on it or if Zoom will take the lead with their new recorders. Mahalo!
