I have to say, despite the value of this system for its cost vs feature set, I would never be able to use a personal recording system like this that I can’t monitor from afar, especially for 2-person corporate interviews. I think this particular unit would present great value for the solo-RU-vidr, Vlogger, etc. But for any kind of corporate or decent paying commercial gig, having to use something like this would give me nightmares. 😅 Great review nonetheless! 💯
This is so funny I literally bought 2 of these because I had an issue with my rode mics randomly turning off in the the middle of a recording(wedding) so unsaid never again and for these instead. They are 100% worth it.
Since you did not compare it ti Deity pr-2 I'll assume you do not know about it. You did not mention how you sync the audio, but the PR-2 has timecode, and since I was struggling with sync by waveform I appriciate it more. And it has wireless monitoring. On top of 32bit float and analog limiter. And it is stereo 24bit if you need it so the almost double price is already justified in my opinion. If you want to record compressed it also needs a limiter if the signal is too high. Does it have analog limiter? That limits the peaks before converting the distorted signal to digital.
Ah no I didn’t know about the deity, I’ll check it out (I did notice it’s more than double the price of the Tascam so really should be step up). Yes the DR10L pro does have a limiter (I’m from an audio background so this didn’t need explaining 😂), many thanks
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff I didn't know, just following casually :) I was trying to explain if it is an analog limiter? Because I heard that some cheaper audio tech have digital limiters that limits after the analog to digital conversion.
I actaully think your sound is quite overprocessed. High quality and kinda soothing but not natural at all with seemingly too much compressed and emphasis on the low end, it sounds a bit bloaty and lacks detail in the upper end. It sounds like a typical voice ocer sound but for a-roll seeing you talk it feels a bit off, it's not a podcast after all. But I must note, I personally prefer a clearer, more natural sound with a kick more sparkle at the top.
This might be a silly question but with these, how do you monitor the audio if you're at a distance? Unless I missed something that may be a con if something is up with the audio while recording. (ie. Unwanted sound from the subject's clothing).
This is a great point as the only way to monitor is from the stereo mini jack, so I suppose you could do a sound check before hitting record or run a longer cable 😅 I’m hoping Tascam will include monitoring in their DR-10L Pro app at some point as it seems so obvious a solution!
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Do you think you can pair the Godox XT1 with this? If they work together you could use the Godox's receiver to monitor the audio while recording 32 bit float on the Tascam and still be at a distance.
