Tascam DR-05 Review With Audio Recording

http://www.aibal.com/tascam-dr-05-review/ Tascam DR-05 review with audio samples.

If you're interested in the Tascam DR-05, you're probably also looking at the Zoom H1. Both devices offer comparable features and are priced similarly at around $100.

What I've found with DR-05 is that it offers a superior build quality, button controls, display and software menus. That's a lot of benefits to consider over the Zoom H1.

The Zoom H1, on the other hand, is a slimmer and lighter unit that features mics placed in a X/Y arrangement.

Is the Tascam DR-05 right for you? Watch my video review to find out, and keep in mind that all the audio in the review (my voice over) has been recorded with the DR05.

Can you use this mic as a USB microphone (like a Blue Snowball for example) and record live audio with it? Thanks.

[AibalReview]

@TIRanald Nope. It's not a USB mic. The cord is only for charging or file transfer.

[leefuji]

@AibalReview does the USB provide power as well if you didnt want to use the batteries or external power supply ?

[AibalReview]

@leefuji Yes. You don't need batteries in the unit at all if you're connected via USB.

Good video. Thanks for the info.

Could we use this to record our band for promo cd's and for recording acoustic sessions?

@intentionsmusic These portable Tascam recorders don't interaction with computers (aside from USB file transfers). They simply record audio to a file on an SD card. Thus, there are no compatibility problems with Apple hardware.

[intentionsmusic]

don't know about this particular product, but if you're thinking about buying a Tascam, be sure to look beyond the technical merits. They have a pretty bad reputation regarding their customer service, especially regarding Apple. See for yourself, go here and take your pick, there are a lot of angry customers regarding several Tascam products that are left unsupported: (can't place a link, so look for apple discussions on the internet)

That's a great review, my man. I'm going to buy this thanks to your review. So many recording devices out there and i was getting bamboozled searching for a good one with a reasonable price. Thanks.
