Tascam Dr-05x Review. ThePedalGuy is now an authorized Tascam Dealer, which is excellent. They make some of the best recording and pro audio gear around. In this video, I'm going to take you through the DR-05X handheld portable recorder. This recorder is amazing as it has powerful, yet simple recording features and amazing microphones to boot. If you don't like the acoustic guitar sound I got from this, you might need to get your hearing checked. It's that good.
I'll be covering other Tascam products soon. Enjoy!

Do you have any suggestion about owering the recorder. For example.. If I already have the alkaline batteries inside and I connect the power bank via USB connector, which power source the recorder will be using? And when it finishes that power source, will systematically jumps on the other available? Thank you very much for your suporr! Matej

I have a dslr with no mic jack. So I bought the Tascam DR-05x to record externally. I found a company called Movo that has a shock mount that came with a cold shoe and adapter for a camera & tripod. I use the shock mount with the camera and on the table if using my computer with a Manfrotto tripod. . I do have a 128gig card for storage. I have an iPhone 7, that came with a 3.5mm to lightning. So I also have a lav mic which can be used with the Tascam. It’s a great unit. Lots of options for recording, and external connection options.the menu is really easy once you begin using it.

Thank you for these very useful tips. If I have to change the batteries will I need to reprogram the new settings again? Also what is the stand you are using and where did you get it? Thanks

@ThePedalGuy 2 жыл бұрын

As far as I know, it should remember your settings. The stand was a pretty generic small form tripod that you can pick up on Amazon.

Thanks for the review it was very helpful. I have just purchased one of these to record vocals and was wondering what would you say is best settings in effects? For example Hall, Studio, etc and would you set it to Input or Monitor? Thanks.

@ThePedalGuy Жыл бұрын

Personally I love hall type reverbs on vocals, but it's a little powerful so easy does it. If you're going to record into a DAW via USB, I would monitor rather than record the effect onto the DAW.

When trying to record voice at 1 foot distance using the built-in microphones, I need to set input level at around 70 to keep levels at -12db. Is this normal with Tascam DR-05x? In the same situation, with input level at 50, levels move around -30db. I don't know if mine works well.

Does your DR-05X have any white noise when recording silence? Any white noise on the line out when the unit is on and has earbuds plugged in? My unit has these issues and was wondering if others have it too, maybe it's normal, idk.

@ThePedalGuy Жыл бұрын

I'm not quite understanding the question. There are two output methods, analog/line Out and USB. If you're using the analog out as I did in this video, you should be able to adjust the output volume with the data selector on the top of the DR05X.

@AFaceintheCrowd01 3 жыл бұрын

This tutorial is very well done -- but I wish there was a way to begin/pause recording from a distance -- with a wired remote switch you can use to begin and pause recording -- while you are 10 feet away from the recorder.

@ThePedalGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Good point. Some recorders do have a remote option but most times it’s a wired remote which can be just as disappointing.

@ThePedalGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question and I'm glad you liked the video. I'm trying to introduce technology into the vids going forward as it plays a crucial part in the creative process. I haven't used the DR-05X as an audio IO quite yet. Truth be told, I picked up my inventory yesterday, sat down with the DR-05X, and shot the video 2 hours later, so I haven't gotten around to that yet. I will cover it for sure. I think you're already subscribed to the channel but if not, please sub so you can be notified when I release that vid.
