  • My Journey Finding The Right Digital Recorder..
I've always used my smartphone to record audio, but the sound quality was sometimes out of reach, no matter which app I downloaded. After a process of elimination through various environments, I realized, I needed to control the sound quality, I captured in multiple environments, not let the environment control my sound quality.. So, I began my search for a 5 star quality, digital recorder. I really didn't know where to begin, but I had to start somewhere. I started researching all the popular brands, I could think of, but I soon realized these familiar brand names, were par for the course. I took my search to a video site, that has reviews of every digital recorder, on the planet, and a couple of brands I've never heard of kept coming up. I focused my search on these brands, based on features. For example: I wanted to know if there was a recorder out there, that could capture walking barefoot, on carpet, ten feet away. I came across the Tascam DR-05 V2, and couldn't believe this line of digital recorders had the features I was looking for, and much more. The next thing was price.. I compared other top digital recorders with these features and most were more expensive or had bad reviews for the price. Of course nothing is ever as good as the reviews, until we prove it to ourselves, in person. I decided I was going to purchase a Tascam DR-05 V2 and it didn't disappoint. I can capture the sound I want, regardless of my environment. I can't say enough about the DR-05 V2. You certainly get what you pay for with the Tascam line. I realize some people have different needs, but this covers mine. I could list all the features here, but the list is too long. The purpose of my review is to describe the journey of finding the right recorder for my needs. If you're on the fence, wait no longer, this recorder delivers professional sound audio in my book. By the way, I have no affiliation with Tascam in any way. I paid the full price, so just know, this review is my honest review. The Tascam DR-05 V2 is definitely a 5 star digital recorder. Find out for yourself, like I did.. The only thing I added was a Mic windscreen, and it compliments the sound quality in 20 mph wind. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. ... show more

  • VERY PROUD! Best Recorder!
I LOVE THIS RECORDER! I had heard horror stories about the competitor, Zoom H1 (about audio drifting off-sync after a while, the built quality of the Zoom, etc), and I took my chance on this wonderful product! I know there are Zoom lovers but I have a budget and don't want to spend $100 twice so I went with the best option for my situation. You can definitely hear the (good) difference in this. I have a Rode Video MIC GO and most of you know that the GO doesn't have many settings to turn down the hiss and everything in the audio, but if you plug it into this recorder, it just goes away, especially if you re speaking and there is no surrounding noise. I even tried recording ambience/sound effects with my Rode directly into the Tascam and it was so amazing! I am amazed and know for sure that I made the right choice! You can clearly hear the difference from the audio with the Rode into the camera and the Rode into this Tascam recorder. Now, I am no one to judge on the internal MIC of this system (the top two channeled MICs) because I haven't used it yet, but I have a couple projects with required voice-overs and will update this review to let you guys know how it sounded and I am sure it would sound great! All the buttons are easy to click, access, and use and the settings are WAY too simple. I am no man of sound/audio and I only do it because I am currently a one man band film maker (15 years old; I have no other choice) so I'm forced to learn all of these settings and stuff but I was really surprised at how the settings were clear, simple, and short! I also love the additional headphone jack to listen to the audio because being on set a couple times, I have always wanted to look like a boom MIC operator with the boom pole and headphones, haha! So that is a great touch! Well, I've said everything I know about this recorder and I hope you take my word for consideration in choosing what field recorder you should buy! ... show more

  • Amazing recorder for the price.
Nicely made. Feels solid in your hands. The built-in stereo microphones are ultra sensitive. Version 2 have the option for voice activated recording. THE MOST RECENT FIRMWARE VERSION IS 2.50 AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE FROM THE TASCAM WEBSITE. The learning curve is a not too bad. After about one hour I mastered this great recorder. The recorder offers lots of options and adjustments so it will take you a while to find your way around the recorders' menus. Audio quality is exceptional, everything is crystal clear through headphones, even the softest of voices and sounds can be detected. You won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • It can record anything if you set it up right....
Very lightweight and it records pretty high quality. I inserted a 32 gig card....be sure to get the right size....and it will record at the highest quality all night. I live close to trains that come by at about 40 mph. Direct line of sight. So, I put the Tascam on a tripod and recorded the whole episode, from the long approach to long distance departure. After I recorded it I sat in the patio of our backyard and plugged in a good headset to listen to what I recorded. It was so authentic sounding that I forgot I had headphones on and looked to see the loud train come by....and had to laugh because it was what I recorded minutes earlier. The recorder/playback is pretty intricate and complicated but, with reading glasses and with the pdf download manual I was able to master it. I recorded loud music over the weekend and it sounds great. I had to roll off the low end to eliminate the hollow room sound....which would have been sort of 'boomy'. It saves the settings you choose so you can set it up the way you need for your use and it will stay that way and always be ready to record. Good tool, worth the money. ... show more
