www.aibal.com/tascam-dr-05-rev... 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.

I would just like people reading this to know, you can multitrack with this device. You have to enable the feature first. You go into the menu - settings - recording settings and scroll down to turn auto rec off. This will allow you to hit record, play some guitar for instance.. then when you hit stop it becomes a file. The next time you hit record it will say overdub yes/no and if youre wearing headphones itll help a lot but then it will start a new file with this new track you are doing over the previous one

Yes, I think when overdubbing it will create 2 files: One with the overdub (mixed together) and one without. So you have the original saved just in case

Mercy, thank you so much for walking me through using the Tascam DR-05! I was a little put off when you started by saying, "don't bother to read the manual." What? I read the manual and was really confused and became more and more frustrated. Your program was concise, to the point, easy to watch i.e. well focused, and of course, with clear audio. So again, thank you so much for walking me through using this recorder. I would nominate you to make instructional videos for all my electronics! My Canon camera, for example. Happy New Year!

I'm so excited about this product. A guy in a drum/rock shop recommended it and I pick it up tomorrow. I'll be using it to record group time with about 10 3-4year olds and their teachers having a discussion. As it's for research I have to have a clean, clear recording so I can transcribe easily. I was beginning to think there was no easy solution. This might be it though.

Also realistically if you want to multi-track and dont feel like spending a lot, you could buy this tascam unit and simply buy a 4-8 channel mixer and play around with what youve got as far as turning the 'auto rec' feature off I had mentioned.

AibalReview, good night. Bought a DR-05 and would, if possible, to get me a question. When I connect an external mic to the DR-05 I hear a hiss, which only disappears with the recording volume below level 30. I have connected a lapel mic and Turn Videomig Go and both the hiss is audible. It happens to you too? Am I with a faulty drive? When I use the auto level this also happens. I guess it's a gain that the DR-05 take the microphone out, but I thought the noise was not to appear. When using the internal microphones do not hear this noise. If you can help, thank you. A hug.

I'd like to get either this unit or the DR-40 for digitizing vinyl and other analog sources. Audiophile soundcards usually don't have RCA inputs and have much more background noise in general than this unit would. With the DR-40, you can connect with balanced line-level inputs. Most importantly, with a Tascam you're getting pro-spec A/D converters for about half the price of an audiophile or gaming soundcard (which will have nowhere near as good A/D converters and be much noisier). Amazon currently has the 05 for $80. Of course, the DR-40 is more.
