If you need a great audio recorder for the least amount of money, the new Tascam DR-40X is probably the best option available. Get the full story here ▶️ bit.ly/2zjOKGQ
If you primarily record audio with external dynamic microphones like the Shure SM58, the Tascam DR-40X isn't the best choice for you.
For everyone else, the DR-40X is your best budget-friendly option. It works wonderfully with condenser mics, like shotguns, wireless, and large diaphragms. Plus, it handles line-level audio excellently.

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!

Amazing review, Sam. I'm currently shopping for a device for recording audio from DJ boards at weddings and other events. The Zoom 6 I rented recently had a cool feature where I could take a Line out feed through its dedicated port and send to my camera through a wireless Receiver/Transmitter unit. Though I see Line Out listed among the outputs of the DR-40x, I'm uncertain how it works because the "line out" doubles as a earphone port. I'm interested to know if it can work as the Zoom 6 does. I will appreciate your feedback.

@JTroskaTV
@JTroskaTV 2 года назад
A feature in the DR40 (and I’m assuming DR40x, too) that I really like and haven’t found anywhere else is the Peak Reduction auto level control. Unlike typical auto gain, which constantly raises and lowers the input gain to accommodate the incoming signal, the Peak Reduction feature only lowered the gain enough to prevent clipping and then left it alone. It wasn’t going up and down all the time and dynamics stayed intact. That feature doesn’t even seem to be in their new PortaCapture 32 bit recorder, based on what I see in the online manual.
@queridodiario3613
@queridodiario3613 Год назад
Oh you mean, like a limiter. Even zoom H1 has this.
@JTroskaTV
@JTroskaTV Год назад
@@queridodiario3613 it wasn’t a typical limiter. A typical limiter pulls the level down for a quick instant and then releases back to the set level. The Peak Reduction in the Tascam was like having somebody adjust the manual gain down for you if the signal got too hot. It didn’t release it back to your set level. It just brought it down if needed and left it there.

Press the Record button to put it into Record/Pause mode (the red record light will be flashing). Plug your headphones in and press the "+" button on the face of the recorder. In that circle of controls, the "+" is at the top of the circle. That button turns the headphone volume up.

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
@HiddenDriveways 3 месяца назад
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.

Thanks for the in-depth review. Do you think DR-07X is a better choice for people that don't have the need for XLR input?
@HiddenDriveways
@HiddenDriveways 4 года назад
Yes. The DR-07X has many of the same features, excellent performance, and it's more compact and lightweight. The thing with buying a recorder at this time of year, though, is that if you can wait 7 weeks you will almost definitely save $30 or more because of the holiday sales.
