hello !

is the tascam a multitrack recorder, or can we only recors one tracks by one.

can we listen to one track and record another at the same time ?

thanks

[nunncenter]

no, not multitrack-technically. You can, however, overdub---record over a playback file with a new signal and mix.  So multitrack, kind of.

[golafs]

is it possible to record to 4 channels? f. ex record simultaneously both onboard mics + mics connected to XLR.

thanks.

and btw nice video :)

[nunncenter]

Thanks. Unfortunately not. However, the Zoom H4n which we are reviewing right now does. An interesting omission by Tascam which hasa long history of inexpensive multi track recorders (thinking of my 4-track cassette of yesteryear). Still, an excellent 2-track recorder for oral history.

thumbs up if your watching this to find out what Danny was unboxing :)

[SigawNa]

does the XLR inputs also do +4 line in or are they just mic level? do you have a dr100 vs h4n review somewhere? this unit looks to have a better build quality over the h4n.

Thanks for sharing the Tascam info with us, you are the best.

Gradual Report-dany brought me here

[Vnix]

did you make this video with that recording device?

[aggzish]

would this be appropriate for recording mixing desk audio out for a band with no current recordings for like a live ep type thing or would the built in mic's be sufficient

or should i be llooking at a different product if so any ideas which one would be good

[VisorTM]

TASCAM or ZOOM 4N?

[RundFyrkant]

good review

got some additional questions though

Can it be set to record monofiles?

Will the XLR inputs accept a line signal with the phantom power turned off?

I'm going to use it to record sounds directly from the audio outs from synthesizers and drummachines and is also concidering the zoom h4n.
