friend, never let your small finger over the guitar or in severeal years you will have a lot of pain, beleive me ;) Thank you so much for this wonderful video tascam rules always :D

Finally. Someone going straight up to the point. I love it. Thanks

Great video. Thank you. I bought the DR-40X and very rarely use it. The reason to buy it was to spread the built-in mics, put it on a table in the centre of my music room, and face it towards my hifi speakers. This way, I assume it will record audio the way my speakers actually sound in person. I could take a line level out of my hifi system and directly plug it into the DR-40X but that would just give me a hi-res audio file on the SD card, right?. In order to share files with friends and family with music the way I hear it in my room, what best way would you suggest? I have 4 different pairs of speakers, and I want to share how they all differently sound while playing the same music from the same source. Your thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Could you please tell me if this recorder will work with the PowerBank? If I take out the batteries and connect the recorder to the PowerBank with a USB cable, will it work?

This is the AI version. Not the AI-S

Finally after 10 other videos, I got it! Thanks

I use iphone 15 Pro Max and I get "USB FS mismatch" error message on my Tascam Portacapture X8. It has the latest firmware and set to 24 bit. Not sure what's going on since it should be something easy, usb-c to usb-c.

With no Bluetooth Had to buy cheap headphones at my local store My iphone sounds ten times better because I can use good Bluetooth headphones NEED wireless

Guitar recording is like its from a solo off an album. I just bought this Tascam. So my questions are now May 2024 not 3-4 years ago. Does this Tascam dr-40X take XLR in both ends meaning am i connecting from the mic with XLR then the other end goes in to the base of the Tascam? Apologies this is all knew to me. Thank for your video and any suggestions would be very much appreciated

I stopped watching at “plug in the micro-usb cable” 😢

You sound so kind and knowledgable. Thank you! :)

Great explanation. Can you make a video on how to use the built in mic to do great voice recordings used for voice overs?

I am watching this as soon as I get off..been using mine for a yr now..winging it 😅😅

Thank you for your video. I´m very beginner. And your video help me alot.

Thanks a lot! This video helped.

My horizontal balance doesn't budge. I loosen the screw and it doesn't move. I'm about to break this thing. Everyone loosens the screw and it moves. I loosen that same screw and it won't budge at all. So utterly frustrating!!

2024 here... still using my DR40(non X) that I bought back in 2013 from Amazon. Picked it up and started recording my own sound effects for my small commercial ad showreels today. I honestly didn't know there was an X version until this video

I really hope Dickey has seen this🙂

Thank you so mich brother

Is there any way to loop this?

Hello, can I make broadcasts like this on Tiktok etc.

Can i attach it to smarpthone and use as a microphone for phone video?

when i try to plug in the usb cable with the dr-44 wl it only gives me the options "buw power" or "storage"... what do i do?

thank you!!!!

Sounds good, man. Great setup. Are you happy with those pickups a few months later?

Can you route the two external inputs to seperate channels in garage bad?

How can I get my MacBook Pro to recognize the recorder. It does work on MacBook only on iPad

Lovely feature! thanks...

This doesn't work, no popup in Garageband. I have been trying everything for 2 hours now and I've had enough. What a complete waste of time

Can't get Audio Interface to show up on the Tuscan...i only get option for Bus Power & Storage. Updated firmware before typing this message. Any help would be helpful. Thanks for the video.

hi. its connector is an ordinary micro usb as in cellphones? thanks

Exactly what I was looking for! It was interesting to hear about the vertical mic position picking up warm chest vibrations, now I definitely need to buy a stand for the Yeti I just picked up :D

How about with 2 mics at the same time?

Use your voice

Thank u for the detail. I watched another person's video and they did not explain- or possibly did not know about setting the sound to mono or explain choosing which ext port you are using. On the point of mono or stereo- is there a way to get stereo sound out of a mic plugged into this device or a way to attach the mic so it sends a stereo signal? As a vocalist a mono sound might be good for some things but stereo is preferred.

Admittedly, I skipped to 'The Easy Way' chapter but this was well done 👍

Awesome tips!

This is a great video: in-built MICs sound better than I expected: I'll be doing fireplace, rain and wind atmos sounds with it and was wondering if I'll need to be connecting up external mics - but by the sound of your tests I may not even need them.

Exactly what I needed! Thank you for the solid video.

Dude, I have been watching videos after videos and I failed at each time, thank you so much for taking the time to actually explaining it and showing it the right way. You got a new subscriber here, finally someone who explained it the right way, best video on balancing the weebil s. Thank you very very much! If you like indian food, come and have a look at my end ,)

Are two channels reserved for the built in mics or can i use all 4 channels for line level instruments (for example). Does it have metronome??

Thank you for the video! It's great! Did you testing the Tascam DR-07X?

This only works with the DR40X not the DR40 - right?

Counterpoint: if you don't have a treated room, a dynamic mic is better than a LDC. There's a reason why Shure SM7b is so popular for podcasts after all. And in a very well treated room (or a vocal booth) shotgun mics are as very good as well, and a lot of professional VO artists use Sennheiser MKH 416 in their work. Another point to consider is that LDC picks up a lot more mouth noises, it's very clear even in this video. (also comparing a 1000$ LDC to 370$ shotgun and 400$ SDC is a tad bit unfair, but it's good enough to demonstrate a point) I just picked up Audio-Technica AT4073a, which had a 1000$ MRSP but is now discontinued and costs like 200-300$ second-hand, and in my moderately treated room (some foam on walls and ceiling, a couple bass catchers in the corners, very heavy curtains on the window and a carpet on the floor) it sounds better (at least to my ear) than SM7b that I was using previously. But since it's me listening to my own voice, I might not be impartial...

Does the tascam need to have an SD card inserted in order to connect with an IOS device? Trying to plug it into my laptop but the menu will not pop up.

So AB do asmr better than XY?

Thanks for you video. What if GB on iPhone doesn't recognize Tascam?

It would help enormously if you could let the viewer see your Tascam at the beginning when you are pressing the buttons and selecting the various options, this would then be helpful. Otherwise it is not helpful, I wish it were. 1 out of 10. 🤥

Can't even see what you're doing.
