Zoom has more of a digital sound, and Tascam has more body and sounds analog

Great presentation. I have an H4nPro. Amazing device! I recently bought the H6, but haven’t figured it out yet. Have you got a video on that? Btw, I also have a Tascam DP-008 8-track Pocketstudio collecting dust. Never figured out how to use it…
@caogomi Ай бұрын
I know this video is old... so I don't know if I will get a response, but if I wanted to sample or record audio from a record player in stereo. Could I use something like an XLR Male to Dual RCA Female Jacks on the DR-40X, be it coming from a receiver or a turntables built in phono preamp? Or if trying to get a stereo recording from 3.5mm device (mic, phone, mp3 player, stereo receiver, turntable, etc) could I use a 3.5mm to XLR adapter from the line out or headphone jack of said devices? The reason I ask is because I saw in another video stating that the 1/4inch "instrument" plugs the DR-40X needs in order to get a signal were unfortunately mono, so any adapters I could use to get a 3.5mm male to 1/4 would result in a mono recording. I was hoping there might be a way around the 1/4 plugs mono limitations.
@HiddenDriveways Ай бұрын
Yes, dual RCA to dual XLR male would work fine for connecting to a record player that has a built-in phono preamp and line-level outputs. For the second question, a stereo male 3.5mm Y-Cable to dual XLR male would work fine too, except for the mic. If you have a stereo mic that terminates in stereo male 3.5mm you can try adapting it to the XLR inputs of the DR-40X, but I’m not sure if it would work. That’s one area where the H4n Pro wins, because it has a dedicated stereo 3.5mm mic input.

8:32 - The voice over is great, how did you got it to sound like this without any of the ambient noise picking up? Can you share details how you did so? Thanks. Is it better to do voice over using the tascam as a standalone recorder or better hooked to a USB to computer?
@HiddenDriveways 3 ай бұрын
No ambient noise was picked up because there wasn’t any ambient noise. It was a quiet room that didn’t have any problems with sound reflecting off of surfaces. Nothing special, just a regular room in a regular house. The mics are off to the side of my mouth, not in front of it. That was intentional. I find that voice over and podcasting sound better when the microphone is positioned that way. Just set proper gain, record in a quiet, non-reverberant place, and position the mic where it sounds best.

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!

Thank you for a great video! I picked up the H4n Pro to replace my Zoom H2 - I need a handheld recorder for a new podcast idea I am working on and one thing, and I am hoping I am not wrong. The H4N can pause the recording and resume which the H2 cannot
@HiddenDriveways 6 ай бұрын
Yes, H4n Pro can pause and resume recording. You press the round “arm recording” button and then the Play/Pause button to begin recording. Pressing Play/Pause again pauses the recording, which you can resume when you press it again.

Hello, this voice recorder doesn't make any "white noise" as background? The sound is really clea, or you edited the audio? I'm thinking about buying one Tascam Dr-40...
@HiddenDriveways 6 ай бұрын
Well, every audio recorder has a noise floor where you start to hear hiss instead of silence when you turn the volume up, it’s just that some recorders have lower noise floors than others. I didn’t do any editing or manipulation to make this recorder sound any less noisy in this video. However, this capability of the DR-40X isn’t any more impressive compared to similar recorders like the Zoom H4n Pro, for example.

I want to use a recorder for recording me playing guitar and singing, with built in mics and by plugging in my guitar and Shure SM80 mike into the unit. As well for capturing live concerts. Unsure re the line level issues which unit is better?!
@HiddenDriveways 7 ай бұрын
You are better off with the H4n Pro. You want to plug a guitar into it, that's all I needed to hear. The H4n Pro is designed for that, the DR-40X is not. For line-level stuff, you just need to remember to only connect line-level signals to the 1/4" inputs on the H4n Pro. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine.
@jeb1246 7 ай бұрын
Four years ago it was not much of a recorder. Some years ago I compared one with the Olympus LS11 i had. The noise was too much to bare and the input signal much lower then the LS11. I did not expect such terrible result and returned it within half a day. And bought the more expensive Tascam DR100mkiii. That was a joy!

My official answer is MAYBE? I know the Zoom H4n Pro can be plugged into an iPhone using the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter in order to use it as an audio interface with the iPhone. Now, does this work when the iPhone is in video recording mode? I don't know, and I don't have that adapter so I can't test it.

Hi Scot! It’s been a minute and a half! The tape that says something like “TPAC camp” is from 1984 or 85, but it’s well before I had a camcorder. That’s footage from a sleep-away performing arts camp Syd and I went to near Spring Hill. There’s no video that I’m aware of us as kids, but you never know! When I finally find my mini DV camera I’ll start capturing. There are 3 or 4 more tapes besides these. A lot of it is probably random TV, someone would grab a tape to record something on the VCR. Hopefully there are some treasures in there. We should catch up sometime!
