Is it worth the extra $10 or so to pick up the DR05X over the original? I certainly think so! Super cool, the ability to use it as an audio interface. So much power in such a tiny unit. Check out the Tascam DR05x here: amzn.to/3alwUoF

[@maielenasong]

I just bought the dr07x. I hope it is just as good as the Dr05x 🙏🏼

[@phonemaniatico]

Pues yo adquirí el otro día una unidad de DR-05V02 reacondicionada, y he rcibido la caja de una DR-05X. Espero que la unidad esté realmente nueva como parece la propia caja

[@starivuk6561]

does the function work as an interface for linux, ubuntu?

[@starivuk6561]

@@edwardfletcher7790 Thanks :)

[@insightbike]

I purchased one of these for recording interviews because I like quality audio. Now I'm using it for content creation as well. The sound is amazing. Thanks for the tips on use. Especially on the input record volume!

[@BenjiDWJ]

Thank you for taking the time to put this guide togeher, Brian. 😁 👍 👍 Cheers to you, my man! 🍻

[@MediaMike-fz7st]

Great video Brian. I have the Tascam DR -05. I purchased it due to your recommendation in your review of it. It is an amazing unit. It has served me well. Thank you for your work. I've gain a great deal of knowledge from your channel and look forward to new videos from you.

[@BigFreakinTexan]

This is such good content! You demystified my DR-05X in a mere 13 minutes and 15 seconds. I'm new to audio recording and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I feel much more confident now and can't wait to start working on my motovlog.

[@OliverJanShD]

This was by far the most helpful video on using my DR-05x. Thanks for your effort in making this!

[@Evee84]

Great Video. I'm using this for a show in 2hrs and learned everything I needed to know in 14mins. Thank you.

[@ajaniwright3731]

Thank you I just learned how to use my new Christmas present!

[@woodsoupgirlasmr]

Even though I have a newly acquired DR-07x, I stumbled upon this video and it was SO helpful! Thank you so much for helping me to understand some things that I had no clue looking at this sucker. 😄 So grateful for the tutorial.

[@anonymous-xy8wc]

Straight to the point without all the unnecessary fluff that one (more often than not) comes across on KZbin. Perfect!

[@NiklasSteenfatt]

Underrated channel, very nice walkthrough, keep up the quality content! 🚀

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Thanks Niklas!

[@EnzaMobilia]

This video is amazing! Loved the way you explained everything. I’m very excited to set up this mic when it arrives 😬 thank you!

[@rhysie9983]

Love your videos man, keep em coming.

[@aperturefilm]

you explain every bit of details better than anyone else. Thank you 🙏

[@windkl]

One of the best setup guides on youtube! Thanks a lot!

[@OtakuFREEMAN]

Amazingly well produced video! You deserve WAY more attention!

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Kind of you.

[@archiwumkryminalne763]

Thank you very much for that video ! You explain everything very clearly and understandably. Before I found you I didn't know anything about audio settings. I love your channel :*

[@Luuke1997]

Thank you so much for this mate! I’ve been putting aside setting up mine and it’s been months but this video gave me everything I needed! You explained it in a clear and concise manner, especially with the settings, such a good way to educate and inform. You’ve earned a sub! Feel like I’ve found my go to sound help channel now aha! Keep up the good work!

[@mr.stickyfingers3189]

This is one of the best tutorials on KZbin. I just bought one for my motovlogging. 1st time I used it was a disaster. But after watching your video, I think I have the right settings. You got a new subscriber!

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Fantastic!

[@leoalsufi932]

Thank you so much for this detailed video it’s even better than the first one without you I wasn’t gonna by the tascam or the movo, but after I saw what you were saying and you really know what you’re talking about I bought both of them ... thank you so much it was the best purchase I’ve made to my KZbin channel 🤝

[@chikenjr]

Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for, and very well and easily explained. I'm new to audio (but very interested) and content creation, and now I will hit the subscribe button! Looking forward to watching and learning more from your channel!

[@neuroncrux5937]

Dude, I started watching your audio tutorials weeks ago when I bought the DR-05X, and I just now realized you're also a magician. I've been performing magic for over 20 years, and I've always wanted to be a filmmaker as well but I'm just now getting around to it. Those 2 fields have always seemed to go hand-in-hand, so it's cool to find another artist who is into both! Your tutorials have been very helpful. Looking forward to the upcoming premier on your other channel 'How to do live theater during a pandemic'. This definitely needs to be addressed. Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks for the quality info.

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Great to meet you, man! Thanks so much.

[@dilanalexanderbts1687]

This is spectacularly helpful! Amazing video. Thank you so much! 😁

[@JoeNocella]

My DR-05 just died after 11 yrs of occasional use. Some of the live band recordings I've made with the DR-05 over the years are pretty amazing. Looking forward to using the DR-05X.

[@wilderlab]

This is THE reference to use... greatly improved my audio. Thanks!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Thank you, this was an excellent intro to a great little unit 👍

[@willcliftonmusic3914]

Great video. Thank you for helping me get this set up.

[@LloydMajor]

Thank you for the class...The best yet!

[@jlh5995]

Hey Brian, thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to follow, video tutorial on the setup and use of the Tascam DR-05X. I used Tascam professional products about 20-years ago and I'm happy to know it manufactures a hand held recording device that I can use for dictation (to text using software not included), as well as other recording needs. Really appreciate your time.

[@Garytyronejohnson]

Awesome! Thanks. Needed that info.

[@venturasurfing]

Excellent information. Very well made review and instruction. Thank you.

You made this so easy for me to set up Thank you so much.

[@jimmiranda7181]

Just purchase one and the setup is easy and recorded a few conga drum tracks. Your video really helped me get started and opened my eyes to many of its capabilities. Not bad for $100 bucks

Just picked this model up last night. Did absolutely no research, just got it b/c it was on sale. have to say I'm extremely pleased with my results. Used it to record at a rave which, I was flying a drone to capture video.

[@Mr_Witch]

[@stewartboyle964]

Very nice explanation for a non technical audience. Appreciated!

[@CanadianArchivist]

I received my Tascam DR-05x this week. I really like the menu interface. I have a dslr that has a mono mic built in and no mic jack. So I picked up this unit from Amazon. I also plan to use it as an interface for my laptop. So I picked up a manfrotto mini tripod for when I’m at home. . I’m adding a cold shoe mount with shock mount for the top of the dslr. All recordings will have to sync in post when I’m back from what I’m doing. I may make a KZbin video with the unit Great tutorial. Picked up a few tips so thank you for that

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Awesome!

[@PaulCapps]

Will add that to my list.

[@sagarsriva]

great video. thx

[@hirnklempner]

Great. Thanks!!

[@carlclifton4628]

They should pay this guy a lot of money. Thanks for the knowledge, man 👍🏼

[@zekewheel]

thank you for excellent video

[@johnsanchez3607]

Thank you sir for explanation.

[@carpo719]

Ive been using a dr-05 for the past three or four years for all my podcast and recordings, and it is all I need. I haven't seen the ex-model, but I assume it doesn't have that much more... as I said that you just covered it. The sound quality is amazing in these things. It's all you need, I wanted to upgrade but decided it wasn't worth the extra money

[@tiesthijsthejs]

I’m looking into this myself for podcasts, performances as well as field recording. I’m on a poverty budget. Do you just use the mic of the tascam or do you plug in an external mic?

[@marshallclark1127]

any idea how to get decent quality into audacity? The interface works but the recording quality is terrible. anyone know the settings? thanks

[@sdhute]

liking the gx85 I think was in your frame. Thats exactly why I'm looking at this.

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Yep! It's my b cam. Great camera. Lacks some of the picture profiles, no mic jack, and no articulating or flip up screen. But otherwise a killer package for very cheap.

[@MerhebiAroundTheworld]

You have been great help thx,

[@smileitfeelsogood]

amazing thank you

[@NoFate247]

thank you!!!!

[@LittlePeterP]

Bravo !!!

[@MrSoundSeeker]

Maaaaan, that was amazing review! I'm currently thinking about purchasing audio interface and xlr mic but I think that thanks to your advice I can save some money and invest it into this tiny devil.

[@AudioforContentCreators]

They are two different solutions for different purposes, but yes, many people would be well served starting with the DR05X. It might be all you need!

[@LuisTaverasPodcast]

Muy buen video, gracias por lo explicativo sobre la grabadora tascam..

[@kenkrupa1736]

This told me what i was missing: SD CARD READER option in USB CONNECT. All I need to do is record my band rehearsal, then upload that file to my PC for work in Audacity. The manual shows nothing about this, only about AUDIO I/F, which got me nowhere. Very simple, now that I know how. Thank you much.

[@thewhorenextdoor8268]

I'm happy I have found you mate

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Thanks for being here, Chris! What are you working on lately?

[@jefferson.castillo]

Cool video!! Have you done a video for Tuscan Dr40x?

[@kdsewell01]

Thank you for the great review! Is using the Tascam's built in mics with the windscreen equal (less or more) in quality than using the VXR10 Pro? I'm wondering if the VXR10 pro would be a good companion for creating podcasts and for vocals and/or instruments? The built it mics sound really good to me, but not an expert. Thank you for any input!

[@journeyingdeeperinward]

Thank you.

[@ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for the quick start setup guide. Can you make a similar one for the Zoom H1n?

[@AudioforContentCreators]

Hi Shinil! I don't own a Zoom H1n, but the settings should be nearly identical.

[@bereantrb]

12:54 That sounds shockingly good. About $150 for that combo is fantastic bang for the buck.

[@ilanlorenzzi]

תודה רבה - מאוד מקצועי

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Hey sir! Just recevied the Tascam DR-05X. I there a way to plug it in the camera while recording instead of having to sync audio with video in post?

[@hhli9907]

You saved me life! Spent time figuring out the set up and gadgets I should buy is just exhausting and sometimes ( a lot of times) the quality is still shite😅 Thank you! And next time can you spend more time talking about the position the equipment should go or set up in a studio? That can really us ameteurs😭

[@superchema]

Amazing video! I'm waiting for my DR-05X! Just a quick question, what kind of microSD card should I use? Thanks!
