Best recorder I’ve used to date. Fabulous sound quality
This has surpassed my expectations. Fantastic sound quality and so incredibly easy to use. The only minor niggle is having to unscrew and swap over the mics if you want a wide/narrow mic pattern. It’s a shame they don’t rotate/swivel but then again it gives you two more XLR/combi inputs if you don’t want to use the mics it comes with. With previous recorders I’ve needed to de-noise quieter recordings but no such issues with this so far. The Tascam audio file manager also works well with it. Just make sure when connecting to your computer you use a ‘data AND power’ usb cable. I’m highly delighted with it.

Best Recorder But Cheaply Built
This recorder has more features than probably its competitors. However, not having Bluetooth as a default feature is not a very pleasant experience. Today even the cheapest mobile phone has Bluetooth built in. Second con is its built quality. It feels cheap and ready to break even with a slight fall. As I said, feature-wise it is terrific but only those two things are a downside. Thanks.

Good all-rounder
The build quality is ok, it's made of plastic with a splattered texture which gives a nice grippy feel. The design offers a decent grip around the device which makes it feel secure in the hand. The attachable mics are also made from plastic but don't feel particularly robust. The mics can be set in an A/B pattern or X/Y pattern, but you'll need to pop them out and turn them around as you cannot swivel and rotate them. The sound quality is excellent with quiet preamps which meassure approx 127dBu. Even though the attachable mics are good, you'll get better results with external XLR mics, nevertheless, the onboard mics are more than adequate. Also note that as the mics are 3.5mm, you can unplug them to use other 3.5mm mics that require plugin power. The XLR ports are your standard, robust dual Amphenol ports. The screen is a nice size which is also bright and responsive to touch, the inbuilt recording apps are good for quickly getting a recording session underway and also features a manual mode so you can have finer control over everything. With the device I've got, I've not seen any phantom frequency issues in the 40+Hz range when running in 96k / 32bit float mode. As a field recordist, I'm very satisfied with this recorder and I'd definitely recommend it for anyone that needs good quality audio with the option of using multi channel recording with high quality 32bit float audio in an easy to use and intuitive device. I'm Very happy. The physical buttons feel stable and do not have any loose rattles, the jog wheel to fine tune your gain feels very robust also.

Useful but need to improve…
I have bought 3 of this product so far. When I opened the first one, the screen is not work, there are always a double line in the screen and this is no display in between these double lines. Second one, screen is good. But after a week of using, when I record a video, 10% of time the sounds like off and on, off and on…. You don’t know when it will happen… so it makes my son very disappointed. But Amazon has amazing customer service, they return it, and I ordered one again. Now I’m waiting my third one to be delivery. On other hand, it record quality sound, very easy to use.

Very pleased
Much easier to use than other Tascam devices. I have confidence that when it says it's recording it is. 32bit float is a life saver when you can't monitor input levels constantly

Just Ehhhh.....
It records ok sound, but build quality is "disposable". I got it and after 2 months headphones jack was distorting, headphone volume was not working, battery never shows full status, whatever batteries you use, to navigate a menu and for example change inputs - its a big dive, not quick at all. When trying to record in field rec mode, with external shotgun mic, you will need a cable splitter or it will record just one channel mono, so you will hear it and monitor it in one ear only XD * it works ok in manual mode. housing squeaks no matter what you do. Built in mics have massive movement tolerances so inside the deadcat they can just touch one another and create distortion. This is a machine to be babied in studio, forever attached to a tripod or something. not field recorder. And build in mics are considerably noisier than fe. Zoom H5 studio. Quite terrible machine, especially at this pricepoint.

Great product
I love this product. It does everything you want and more. Suggest buying the Bluetooth accessory and a mini tripod to stop rustling noises. Works well with Timecode device Atomos UltraSync Blue.

Top! Stabile Bauweise, amtlicher Klang, einfach zu bedienen, sehr gut funktionierende Handy App! Nach sehr kurzer Einarbeitung mit BDA und entsprechenden YT Videos (auch die Tipps auf YT der Fa. Tascam sind sehr nützlich) habe ich damit ausgezeichnet klingende Aufnahmen meiner Bands (Drums, Bass, Voc, Sax, Kb) im Proberaum, meines Klavieres im Studio und eines Chores in der Kirche gemacht. Er lässt sich extrem hoch aussteuern ohne zu verzerren, die zwei Mikrophone nehmen alles mit. Multitrack Recording und Overdub funktionieren wirklich wunderbar. Die Verwendung externer Mikrophone, egal ob dynamisch oder Kondensator, funktioniert perfekt. Ein ausgereiftes professionelles Gerät, das sich einfach bedienen lässt. Die Fernbedienung (BT-Dongle muss extra gekauft werden, ist aber den Preis wert) klappt hervorragend. Keine Unterbrechungen, alles lässt sich am Handy mitverfolgen bzw. steuern. Die verschiedenen Aufnahme-Modi sind sehr nützlich und auch übersichtlich in der Bedienung. Zur Übertragung der Spuren auf den Mac muss man den Recorder mit USB-C verbinden, das klappt aber dann auch tadellos. In einer YouTube review wird behauptet der Recorder produziere im 192khz Modus ein störendes hochfrequentes Geräusch, konnte ich nicht nachvollziehen, es traten beim mittlerweile ausgiebigen Gebrauch keinerlei Sound- Artefakte auf. Die 32bit Fließkomma Aufnahmen lassen sich bei extremster Aussteuerung in der Audiosoftware tatsächlich leiser drehen ohne dass irgendwelche Qualitätseinbußen auftreten. Getestet mit folgendenen externen Mikrophonen: - Audio-Technica ATM350U - Austrian Audio CC8 Stereo Set - Austrian Audio OC16 - Shure SM58 Ich habe schon mehrere Geräte von Tascam und die Qualität, Zuverlässigkeit und Klang sind erstklassig. Ich bin mit dem Tascam Portacapture sehr zufrieden und kann ihn zu 100% weiterempfehlen! Edit nach 3 Monaten intensiver Benutzung in verschiedenen Settings: Erstklassig! Nichts zu bemängeln! Eine externe USB-Powerbank ist zu empfehlen, damit ist man bei stundenlangen Sessions auf der sicheren Seite. Die sehr gute Aufnahmequalität wurde mir mittlerweile auch von mehreren professionellen Musikern und Chorleitern bestätigt. Nach wie vor: KEINE Tonartefakte, KEINE Ausfälle, KEINE Probleme irgendwelcher Art. Exakte Abbildung des akustischen Geschehens. Die verbauten Mikrophone des Recordes sind hervorragend! Bravo TASCAM!

Profesyonel kullanım için uygun bir kayıt cihazı. Otomatik, manuel, podcast, canlı müzik ve röportaj gibi seçilebilen modları var. Bluetooth adaptörünün hâlâ ayrı olamsı bğyğk ayıp, artık 200 TL'lik ampülde bile wifi/BT varken 2500 TL adaptçr3 vermek geröekten bu iki öarkanın da ayıbı. Kullanımına alışmak zaman alıyor fakat sonrasında oldukça kullanıcı dostu bir arayüzle illemleir kısa sürede hallediyorsunuz. Şarjlı pil taksanız faji type-c bağlantısını yaptığımızda pilleri şarj etmiyor, usb'den güç alıyor sadece. Bu da 1950lerden kalan bir tascam mühendisinin anlamsızlık kattığı bir diğer özellik. 4 alkali pil yaklaşık 7 saat kullanım sağladı (sadece line giriş).

Quiero comentarles que estoy satisfecho con la calidad del producto. Poder grabar a 32 bits flotantes a una alta tasa de muestreo es fabuloso. Con los micrófonos adecuados puedes producir una grabación de alta calidad. Yo lo he usado ya con mi esposa que es cantante de ópera, con el coro universitario de mi trabajo, conmigo que soy flautista y siempre los resultados son óptimos. Los micrófonos que trae son muy buenos, aunque ambientales. Si deseas algo más direccional pues ya puedes conectarle cualquier otro tipo de micrófono. Realmente si eres de los que se graban con regularidad, vale la pena ir por la Portacapture X8. También comentar que es muy amigable el menú tactil. Saludos, bendiciones a todos.

自宅で作成した楽器トラックを再生してイヤフォンで聞きながら、スタジオでボーカルを別トラックに録音(オーバーダビング)する用途で使用しています。最終的なミックス・ダウンはPCのDAWで行っています。 【長所】 機動力と操作性: 小型軽量で持ち運びやすく、タッチ・パネルのレスポンスも良好です。 クリーンな音質: 録り音に不自然な色付けが少なく、クリアと言って良いです。電池駆動時のノイズ耐性に満足しています。 【短所】 操作習熟: 多重録音の操作フローは少々独特で、慣れるまで時間を要しました。 高インピーダンス非対応: Hi-Z入力に非対応で、パッシブのギターやベースを直接繋ぐにはダイレクト・ボックスやエフェクターが必要です。 コストパフォーマンス: 同ジャンルのZOOM製品に比べると少し高価かも…。 基本的には外部マイクを接続して運用しているため、付属マイクの評価は控えます。

Je l'utilise sur un trépied, la qualité du son capturé est bluffante. C'est mon 2eme achat de micro de ce type (mon 1er étant un ZOOM H3-VR que j'ai renvoyé car il ne marchait pas sur mac). J'utilise ce micro pour des concerts en vidéo conférence via zoom et pour des déplacements. Les fonctions reverb et l'équalizeur intégrés sont justes indispensables et permettent de faire des lives sans trop d'équipement audio. La prise en main est d'une facilité déconcertante.
