I’m confused on your comment about wireless boom mic’ing with this device. It doesn’t have wireless transmission right?

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@@ac1320 traditionally, if you want to use a pro shotgun mic, you must run an xlr cable from the mic to the camera or a recorder with phantom power. Most recorders are huge and can’t be mounted easily on a camera. This eliminates tbe need for bulky recorders or xlr cables AND you can use it as a boom mic for interviews entirely cableless 🙌🏾

[@ac1320]

@@JustinPorterMedia oh ok. So you mean similar to a F3 where you strap it to the pole & record internally only vs a sound bag or to the camera. Or possibly even just connect this to the back of the shotgun, no cable connection at all?

[@bwest6275]

For anyone who thinks 32-bit float is a get out of jail free card, just know - you still need to protect your capsule from excessive SPL because you can't fix distortion as a result.

[@LennertK]

And for very low output mics such as the SM7b or RE20 you may still get a very noisy recording if you have to crank up the gain in post. This depends on the preamps in this thing, which we know nothing about after watching the video. I can do 32bit float rec on my sennheiser SKP transmitter, but when capturing low volume vocals on those low output dynamic mics it gets much more noisy compared to when I set the gain right on my Zoom F4 field recorder in 24bit (not to bash the SKP, it's great and clearly not intended for that use case, this is just another example why 32bit float doesn't mean "never think about audio again").

[@prOkrEAt]

Dude. What are you recording? And yeah, should know your mics spl limits. Also low gain can be noisy... Which a LOT of preamps have problems with. Where things like cloud lifters come in handy.

[@fiercesound2138]

24 bit is more then enough if you understand gain structure. But also as you said mics have a maximum SPL go over it and 32 bit won’t save you.

[@MikePlayDrums]

What a review…Matt and Justin Porter APPROVED?!? I’m sold!!!

[@ChrisFlores22]

I have an f3. It’s great but no TC input. I’ve almost bought an f6 so many times just for a TC in but it’s huge and I’d never use 6 channels. I preordered this as soon as I saw it had a TC input. It’s perfect for me when filming interviews. Great job tascam!

The price needs to drop. I'm still leaning towards the ZOOM H1-XLR. I was disappointed it didn't have built in Bluetooth and that you have to get the module. But I like the TC. I'm still impressed with it. We'll see if that price drops.

Curtis Judd did a review and analysis it appears they are cleaner than the F3, and those are already quite clean.

Timecode for the win! Wish they made a dedicated external battery pack. We do 8-20 hour weddings every week and that is gonna be a lot of Lithium batteries... A dual micro sd slot would be awesome, maybe in a pro version?

[@jayrey7]

I think this one is waaaayyyyy better than the Zoom F3.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

It has many more features but if you don't use time code work flow and just recording board feed then either will do. One thing no has said bluetooth audio has a delay which makes monitoring a headache to use. Don't get me wrong this thing is great.

[@jayrey7]

@petercofrancesco9812 yes I saw the Bluetooth feature. It's nice. I never used it before thru Bluetooth. Once I get mine I'll test it out.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

@@jayrey7 Because of the Zaxcom patent companies can't record and transmit audio at the same time. Practically speaking bluetooth seems like it could be used to spot check the audio but if there's a delay you wouldn't want to continuously listen to an echo.

[@TheFendertak]

Love your review of this recorder , but ok it has 32bit float capability, but can you take 2 XLR's to 2 2 TRS and go directly into the main outs of a mixing desk to record a band ,reason I ask is I have the Zoom H4n and went to record my band using the main outs on my desk and the sound on playback later was all distorted only to be told i should put attenuators between the recoder and the desk cause the main out is too hot , i want a recorder i can just plug in , will this recorder work for me or do i still have to put attenuation between 🤔

[@alantuttphotography]

All of my Tascam recorders have a problem with staying in sync with video, so the big question is how ACCURATE is the time code in this thing. I've had a similar problem with the accuracy of the battery gauges, so I'm also wondering if the 10 or 15 hour battery life estimates match the battery gauge. In other words, does it look like the batteries are almost dead several hours before they run out? And while this may not be an issue with wedding recordings, I'd also wonder if this has the same high pitched buzz that plagued the X8, which makes it worthless for some sound effect recordings.

[@jewtube8117]

Which buttons adjust the gain (up and down) on each of the 2 inputs?

[@billem16]

I still have a TASCAM DR40 ... and it works pretty fine, but I know I should upgrade soon, but there's about 15 options lol, someone tell me which to pick

[@whoismatt]

DR40 was so good

[@Kloketenproducciones]

The most important thing about a recorder, or the main thing, is the audio quality. You didn't seem too surprised or excited about it, you just said that the audio quality was "very good" which, I think, is a far cry from "it's incredibly good." One hopes that each model that comes out is better in this regard. How good are the preamps compared to zoom f3? self-noise? By the way, good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@AznUzer]

[@SoundSpeeding]

To be fair we're *still* waiting for Tascam's response to the Zoom F8 / F4 / F8n / F6! (unless you think the discontinued Tascam HS-P82 counts???) Tascam has been lagging behind for a while 😕AWOL even

what would say, for recording interview dialogue and foolio from time to time, is the tascam x6 or the av2 better? ima be using the Rode NTG3

[@whoismatt]

Audio quality would be essentially identical. You would just need to consider if you wanted combo XLR jacks and time code which the x6 doesn’t support or if you wanted built in mics which the x6 has but the AV2 doesn’t

[@frankenstein2735]

​@@whoismatt ur a king. thanks

[@terrygriffin5201]

Compared to Deity Pr-2?

[@serghios]

We could say that, for weddings, this might only be useful if used directly on the camera with a directional microphone. Otherwise, if we have to connect it to the mixer, for example during the ceremony, it wouldn’t make much sense to spend this money.

[@ttbirds1082]

Does this device also function as a USBC audio interface if connected to a PC?

[@LennertK]

He mentioned in the video that it does. Not sure if it is a great experience though with the limited interface (likely limited to 24bit, so you need to set the gain live), as well as what routing functionality there is. Are the mics coming in as dual mono channels or stereo? Is the 3.5mm input option selectable or only the combo ports? Do output channels work to listen to output from the pc? In that case, do the headphone and 3.5mm outputs give separate mixes/monitoring, or the same output, or is only one of them working?

[@AdamBA380]

@@LennertKCurtis Judd confirmed that it offers output of both 24 and 32 bit, and can record internally while functioning as an interface.

[@LennertK]

@@AdamBA380 I saw his video too! So I stand corrected, I didn't know that's possible. I'm wondering how apps like Teams handle 32-bit float audio.

[@AdamBA380]

@@LennertK yeah it was a bit of a mystery for me until I saw his video. Tbh I can’t think of too many situations where 32-bit output is useful in a live situation

[@LennertK]

@@AdamBA380 Exactly my thought! One situation I'm thinking of is that it could be useful to have the 24bit output with the compression, EQ etc to use live, but 32bit recording the unprocessed signal internally to be processed later. Not sure if that's possible though.

[@softuniverse7771]

most full-featured recorder that omits digi in & word clock, maybe. would have been way better to allow external clock in order to use multiple units for more audio tracks.time code is great for synching AV and dialogue but not precise enough to maintain phase sync when running audio with configurations of more than two microphones

[@VortexFox-d3e]

But is the self noise better than the F3?

[@human_support]

Did I understand correctly that I will be able to listen to audio through iPhone headphones through their app? Just like Tentacle did in his app

Again with the separate Bluetooth dongle If they have room for it to plug it in Why didn’t they build it in the device itself It would had cost them literally 2 dollars to put a built in Bluetooth ship in the unit. They are selling the dongle as if Bluetooth is a luxurious premium feature. Come on tascam, Everything comes with a built in Bluetooth nowadays, even my breakfast sandwich. It is a 400$ unit Plus the separate Bluetooth dongle Plus the TAX You will end up paying almost 500$ for this. Referring to the specs, the maximum inputs is 2 channels So it’s either the 2 XLRs or the 3.5mm stereo input? You can’t do booth XLRs and the 3.5mm ? Can you confirm please Thank you 🙏 I love your reviews 👍

@shankargopal8417 probably is talking about a backup/dual track recording feature that many 24bit recorders have, where one mic is recorded to two tracks and the second track is set to a lower gain in case the preamps on the primary track get clipped because the gain was set too high. This isn't necessary when recording in 32bit float (unless the mic clips, but backup tracks don't help with that either).

[@SoundSpeeding]

​@@LennertK yes, this was a great feature the Tascam DR60D / DR70D / etc have, would be nice if the Tascam FR-AV2 has this!

[@LennertK]

@@SoundSpeeding on 24bit recorders it is very good to have (although I often see people set the gain too high to begin with, you can usually set the gain a lot lower than you'd think.
