A “Field Recorder” sounds like some unnecessary nonsense that my sergeant would’ve made me pack in my bag in the military. All jokes aside, this thing looks cool.

[@barackmycat9448]

Most all little digital recorders work good but can be tricky to learn. (I`m old and an analog guy). Getting the correct model for what you want to do is crucial. I had a Tascam 24 and it had good sound. I have an R8 and it`s a little more user friendly.

[@MashaT22]

Mary Spender used a Tascam for many years. I don’t recall which model, but she spoke very highly of it in a few vids.

[@landonbailey]

proof it's not a scam! :)

[@funkygamer2251]

I watched it without audio but I'm happy Landon found a cool taser it's scary out there.

[@timtaylorguitarnut]

I have an older Tuscan recorder and it still works fine. They make good stuff and I really made some good recordings with it. My wasn't smart, like me😊

[@jimmyjames2022]

The Tascam X8 has 25% more "X" than the X6 for 14% more cost, what a bargain! Recording sounds pretty good with this unit, looking forward to lots of outdoor guitar videos, such as reviewing winter performance of all the guitar gear, for those -20C concerts. I was going to ask where the boat locks are but then I went to maps and saw there are locks, just not on this branch of the Rideau.

[@gregmize01]

those wind screens are adorable

[@dougberry5003]

Ottawa looks beautiful ! the unit picks up the sound very well.

[@DanLacroix]

Been using my old DR-40 for almost 10 years now. A bit outdated (SD / mini USB anyone?) but I still love the thing. I really like setting my audio level on a single mic then having the 2nd track at -12db in case it clips.

[@landonbailey]

ya backup tracks are great to have for that!

[@scottkeeler2306]

I still use my Tascam MK11. It’s a very warm source for the cold cold Southern California winters. One time it was almost below 70* Fahrenheit and l whipped it out and wow! Oh what a night.

[@michaelyolch79]

SOLD!!! I live 10 minutes from Sweetwater, so going to get one right now. PS: It costs a FORTUNE to live this close to Sweetwater. I should move.

[@landonbailey]

make sure that's the only thing you buy!

@@landonbailey Pssh. You don’t even want to know. ☠️

[@seandaniel23]

I love this thing!

[@myotheraccount2]

My first 4 track recorder back in the 90's was a tascam and I've been thinking about getting one if these things to record outside, so I might get one if those. ✍️

[@StupidGuitar]

Glad you labeled the music section. I was confused!

[@landonbailey]

no problem!

[@christophereaton4694]

I've tried to tip you. Shit, I can barely log in to comment. Love your dry humor.

[@landonbailey]

👍🎸

[@nieko3038]

Real world and people? Thats dangerous man. Thats a cool toy.

[@norseman61]

Cool demo. Liked the Badfinger, too. I also looked up Watson’s Mill on Google Maps, and I’m pretty sure I could see you on the satellite view. Were you the guy in the shirt?

[@landonbailey]

Probably not! I usually go around topless 🤮✌️😁

[@norseman61]

@@landonbailey Oh, so you must have been the other guy.

[@christophereaton4694]

Sorry man. I tried to tip and the site closed me out. Even lost your post. Love you're humor and delivery.

[@landonbailey]

No worries!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Will it capture drums without being over powered or clipping the audio?

[@landonbailey]

I don’t know. I’ll have to try in the future

[@ianallen9366]

Enjoying your videos, your a funny guy....not sure of the kim jong un hair cut lol😜 keep up the good work

[@landonbailey]

Thanks 👍 😱

[@smartmammal9926]

Nice area!

[@landonbailey]

I think so too!

[@christophrothe5767]

Can I connect my iphone to the Tascam and then record videos with the reverb effect?

[@landonbailey]

I imagine you could with some adapters

[@christophrothe5767]

@@landonbailey Thanks. I will give it a try :) Is the song at 8:53 from the tallest man on earth?

[@landonbailey]

Nice Dream by Radiohead

[@christophrothe5767]

The Tascam Portacapture X6 arrived at the weekend and it works great with the iPhone via the USBC interface. So no more videos with bad sound recording :) The only thing you need is a camera adapter (Lightning to USB and then a USB to USBC cable). The iPhone is not recognised with the normal Lightning to USBC cable. Thanks for your video. :D

[@lukesteverything627]

But I don't have a field that needs recording. I'm confused again!

[@thseed7]

🤘🎤

[@charliebryce3783]

Josh Turner swears by these and produces alot of music videos on location. He produced a video on how to record with this

[@landonbailey]

👍🎸

[@robertpowell7319]

One would a product with "X8" to have more stuff than one with "X6" in it... but noooooo... 🙂

[@ciggy_]

Only a clean demo of the field recording? At least put a tubescreamer in front of it so I can hear it with some grit

[@landonbailey]

9:55 did you watch that far?

[@ciggy_]

@@landonbaileyyes I did, I was just doing a stupid joke about the nature sounds, I maybe missed the mark a bit lol I actually find the room mic sound of guitar amps better in some ways than close mic’d, feels like it gives a better impression of the sound in the room

[@Gottaloveguitars427]

I use my iPhone to record

[@landonbailey]

your phone has XLR line outs? :P

[@TheBeriking]

These are not the droids you were looking for.

Beware of those Tascam scams

Nice playing and singing! I have the exact same air conditioning unit, how cool is that? We have so much in common! 👍 😬

[@landonbailey]

So cool! 😝
