Everyone should know that the headphone out is disabled on the U.S. models. They're working on a live-monitoring solution via Bluetooth.

Nice coverage of a great recorder - thanks Gerald! One note on setting gain - it may still be worth setting the gain on the app even in 32-bit float mode - worth some additional testing on that front to see whether the gain is analogue or digital post gain. If it is analogue, the character of the sound will potentially change at higher gain settings as the preamp saturates a bit. Also, a lot of that noise floor will drop with a high pass filter in case people are concerned about that.

Thanks again Gerald! Just snagged me one of these little guys. I'm shooting a documentary series as a one-man-crew and realized there were a few more interview questions I wish I'd asked of one of the subjects. She lives out of state and now I have a solution for getting some great audio from her while I interview her over the phone. Just gonna send this TrackE to her and have her record herself and then pop it back in the mail to me. Sure beats flying back to Alabama with my gear!

Interesting! I currently use Tascam DR10L however the float recording and the app connectivity is making me want to switch over. Also, did you say this has a 10 hr battery life? Questions: 1. Is there a limit to how many mics you can connect to the app at the same time? 2. Does it connect via Bluetooth? 3. What are the transfer speeds like over USB- C compared to copying directly from card ( Tascams are awful coming at 3mbps ) 4. How reliable is the wind muff once its connected ( Asking as the Rode Go ones are pretty flimsy and tend to fall off) 5. How durable is the lav clip? Is it made from metal or plastic? 6. Is there a limit to the capacity of SD card you can use? 7. How long do they take to charge?

@jabottom 3 года назад

I also really enjoy how several videos have you reacting to packaging or equipment moving on its own by stopping and staring at it for a second. It’s a little touch, but it adds a tinge of comedy to your videos and style, and I like it. There is a good example in one of the studios undone videos somewhere that I remember laughing about as you pretended to dock points. It may have been Josh’s.

Looking forward to more recorders having 32 bit float. Could see it really coming in handy for motorsports work where you never know when things are going to get extremely loud. I cant tell you how many times I'm recording a time sensitive interview at a track and some clown drives by us and revs their car thinking they're funny while the entire crew just looks at each other like "yep....that's gonna clip".

@keith-knittel 3 года назад

Just made a video about a car, used a lav mic + recorder to record the exhaust sound while the car was moving. My first attempt was completely clipped - these probably would have come in handy with the 32-bit float. Not trying to be lazy with audio but as a one-man band most of the time - that would be pretty nice to have that safety

@pedromeditsch8612 3 года назад

I own a Tascam DR-10L (I guess this is the one you mentioned) and I absolutely love it! I does not offer 32bit recording, but you can record two tracks simultaneosly with different levels (-6 or -12dB) and also use limiters and low-cut filters, so it's pretty safe. One thing I like about it is the small screen from which you can control all your settings without the need for any apps. I really like how it sounds too... I have the impression that it's a little brighter on the high frequencies than the TRACK E. It's also a lot cheaper, at $200. I am fan of these tiny recorders because they are easier to trust than wireless systems, and I was surprised to see that only a small number of people knew about them!! While everyone was going nuts with the Rode Wireless Go, Matt from Matt WhoIsMatt Johnson was already using the Tascam for wedding shoots. Gerald, do you thinks it's worth the time to make a comparison between the TRACK E, the DR-10L and the new Zoom F2? I'd love to see it!! Great vid, keep up the good work, love your stuff!

What is the difference between the tentacle track e and the tentacle sync e? Is it just one comes with a mic, or are they different models completely?

Sync E is timecode (and does have a mic built in). Track E is a 32-bit float recorder with a 3.5 mm mic in, does timecode and has a headphone jack. Both have a USB C port for charging and data transfer. Both connect to an app over Bluetooth.

Honestly, as someone who does weddings, docs and interviews this does seem like the perfect solution. Normally I'd run the receivers and booms to a Zoom H6, so I could monitor. But with 32bit float I can set it and forget it and paired with the jam sync module post-production would be a breeze.
