This was the best of sounds that I've seen and heard using this hardware. I'm definitely getting the DR-40X

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You will really like.

[@DavidGriffin]

@@RobertDudzic what would you say is the cleanest gain level yo work at. I hear everything from 30 -70. What do you say?

[@RobertDudzic]

@@DavidGriffin Hi David, I don't have any preference, when i record i just watch if my signal not getting any clipping and rest i mix the balance between 3 mics in Cubase.

[@DavidGriffin]

@@RobertDudzic thank you so much man. Your answer has helped me a lot! Can you do a video on how to record and mix soundscapes with something like the Tascam Dr 40.

[@sirwhistler]

Gave me a great idea.

[@AndYandJennY]

I was just waiting for someone to come out of no where. Definitely great sound effects.

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank you so much

[@kendirtiestsaffi4178]

Way cool,Hombre! Thanks for your time👍

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank you

[@grandmasterotis]

I loved hearing all of the elements that you recorded. Great Video...Im buying a 40x tomorrow... returning my 05x for it.

[@jasmyn1258]

How did it work out for you?

[@juanontiveros9963]

I was falling asleep listening to this😭

[@RonaldQuest]

I love your videos, you inspire me to go out and grab all that it comes to my mic :)

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You.

[@oldschoollee]

Those are some decent sounds. I take my Tascam 40x every where I go. I grab sounds from anything that comes to mind. I used them in my music recordings. I also use the 40x as a USB audio interface.

[@Kivencito]

when you use it as usb interface with a condenser mic, does it needs the batteries? Thanks!

[@oldschoollee]

@@Kivencito 40x doesnt have 48v Phantom power. So it cant be used with high impedance condensers. When I use it as USB interface and with an external microphone, I use a dynamic microphone. That mode doesnt require batteries. Only existing Tascam Field recorder that is phantom powered is Tascam DR-100MKIII. Not sure if it can be used as a USB audio interface.

[@oveesounds]

I'm also a big fan of Tascam products, unfortunately my favourite recorder which I have, the DR-100mkIII don't have possibility to record signal from it's internal mics and plugged in external mic at the same time. Just like in your case, it would give me the possibility to record "mono-in your face" signal from shotgun mic, and stereo from internal uni mics. I was so stupid that I realized that after purchase LOL.

[@leoraj6156]

Can you specify the list of gears that you've used in this sound recording session

[@soundotacu]

Very nice

[@fc2p]

Some of these sounds would make some pretty excellent music..

[@RobertDudzic]

I use them in my trailer tracks.

[@pawespychaa4786]

Podobną konfigurację wykonałem z rejestratorem ZOOM H6 i mikrofonem Rode NTG5. Mikrofon rode ntg5 mam od kilku dni, jestem nim zachwycony, bardzo udany zakup, pozdrawiam :)

[@RobertDudzic]

Super, Pozdrawiam👋

[@Gminorscale]

Thanks for the video. That's a great compact setup! What's the name of the grip handle you have attached to your shotgun mic and the recorder? It seems really nice And how's your process after recording all these sounds in the workshops. Do you edit and name each individual sound for later organising or do you just leave them as they are?

[@reso372]

Should be the Rode PG2 - R Pistol Grip, check out his video "How i use what i use 2", its a brief rundown of his default recording setup!

[@Gminorscale]

Thanks so much for the reply!

[@RobertDudzic]

This is basic extant ion tube for table mic stand, you can find this on Amazon very cheap

[@gebels4998]

​ Robert Dudzic what is microphone model?

[@Rkfilm2023]

How do connect Tascam dr 40x to Camera/Android phone, please let me know , i tried to connect with android , but its cannot work Its hard for me Synchronize audio

[@Travelinsights22]

hi Robert what advice between H2n zoom and tascam dr40x? thanks

[@uranienne52]

I have a question about the set up. A shotgun mic like this one needs phantom power, doesn't it ? Isn't that too much for the battery of the Tascam ? How do you manage this aspect ? As for the video, it's a delight as usual... The sounds are rich and it's so nice to watch you explore objects in the environnement :)

[@RobertDudzic]

Hey Iza, some mics need phantom power, some like for example the new RØDE NTG5 have build in battery, but TASCAM is handle this very well and the is no problem to use internal phantom power and you will have plenty time to record all you audio.

[@uranienne52]

Thanks very much ! 😊

[@RobertDudzic]

@@uranienne52 :-)

[@gius_taakstudio]

olé. love what u do and love to see how it's done to learn \\m if u can tell the model of that shotgun mic, just curious

[@RobertDudzic]

RØDE NTG-3

[@SebastienNizetSoundDesign]

Hi Robert great sounds as usual. when considering to build my similar than yours 3mic pistolgrip, i was thinking about this solution too... Saro Sahihi has a similar setup too. looks great, sound great... maybe my next setup to travel too ;)

[@RobertDudzic]

Awesome, and thank you watching

[@akashargade5043]

Geat job

[@bande6551]

Hi, where can i buy such grip and what headphones do you recommend for recording in the field?

[@maciekkk123]

The sound in video is from the Tascam recorder Internal Mics or the shotgun Rode NTG3 + Tascam portable recorder?

[@SebastienNizetSoundDesign]

hi, Robert likes to use 3 mic technique, what you hear is certainly a mix between stereo pair of the tascam and ntg3. he used to do the same thing with his 3 mic setup pistolgrip and tascam dr680mk2. today this setup is a lighter version to travel hope that help

[@RobertDudzic]

I mix them both, i like to have control how much i want sound to be in my face, the both mics sound fantastic, 20 to 20k

[@maciekkk123]

Thank you Robert and Sebastien thank you too :)

[@LevaniTavberidze]

why you want the Rode plugged in at this time if you are recording same sound at same time? is that 2 tracks gives you better quality audio? I mean why not just the tascam?

[@bloki6263]

i liked the deadcat joke at 2:33 /cuts away :D Thanks for showing a professionell beginner setup! pls make a april fools video where you say its a beginner tutorial and you are going to practice today without equipment. then you go into a ship wreck and just roll stuff around

[@RobertDudzic]

Awesome, Thank You, glad you like.

[@levicuijpers8968]

Hi Robert fantastic video! your work inspired me to collect sounds and listen to the world on a different level. I would like to build a similar travel setup like in the video i really like the handle/pistol grip thing. May i ask what sort of a handle/grip you are using that has both sides useable for a microfoon clamp/portable recorder.

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You levi, glad to hear you enjoy:-)

[@cyborgdenoviembre]

Hi, Levi.did you get it? I love the pistol too 😍 Maybe have to build it

[@cyborgdenoviembre]

I think is Rodé PG1 o PG2 Pistol

[@arysamaya3497]

Hi im very bad in English but im going to try! Doy you have a video of the accesories that you are using with the tascam? I mean i need what type of stabilizer make match with my tascam dr 40 x

[@DylanAnglin_]

What is the best budget film quality mic for this?

[@rucasm]

Nice work Robert!! Can you recomend a cheap alternative to the NTG3?

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You. RØDE NTG2 :-)

[@rucasm]

@@RobertDudzic Thank you for the help :)

[@JamesClark1991]

What reverb have you added to the sounds in this video?

[@240mains]

you have enough high quality sound effects for a Grim Dawn video game expanstion pack ! impressive . i thought i was watching and listening to a video game for a few moments , nice . what was that Shot gun mic you have plugged in ? i am guessing you recorded with 3 channels , 2 internal mics with the Shot gun mic . is that correct ?

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You.

[@woozletunes]

Love your videos! Could you tell me where you can get a rig to hold the microphones? I can not find anything online that looks similar. Do portable multi microphone rigs even exist or did you make it yourself?

[@RobertDudzic]

I made them from the parts i find on amazon, look for camera pistol grip or microphone pistol grip

[@woozletunes]

thanks

[@ЭмильХайбуллин-й4э]

офигеееть спасибо х10

[@andrecruz100]

Hey Robert, just a question, Do you use a preamp like fethead in this setup? Nice video.

[@RobertDudzic]

Thank You, No i don't use any preamps, the mice is plug direct in DR-40X

[@andrecruz100]

@@RobertDudzic thanks

[@xperimentador]

What are the two fuzzy microphones you use with the DR-40x in the video?

[@RobertDudzic]

Wind protection😊

[@xperimentador]

@@RobertDudzic Yes I know, Just want to know what extra mic you are using with the DR40x?

[@LevaniTavberidze]

Hello Robert! really enjoyed the magic sounds! I'm looking for budget recorder like the Tascam,but I see that you have other mic plugged in, so the sounds are straight recorded in the tascam separately? or its from the plugged mic? I mean if this sounds are recorded only by the Tascam,Im going to buy it.

[@RobertDudzic]

All recorded to TASCAM, RODE NTG3 just give me alternative direct track what I’m using in mix down.

[@LevaniTavberidze]

@@RobertDudzic Still confused,is this sounds only from Tascam? or from tascam with help of rode?

[@tiesthijsthejs]

Hi Robert, why do you both have the 05x and the 40x? I'm trying to choose between them, but am stuck.

[@RobertDudzic]

05X is only 2 channels recorder, 40X is 4 channels recorder and I have option to ad additional mics depending on what I’m recording.

[@tiesthijsthejs]

@@RobertDudzic thank you

[@emreyilmaz1360]

So all the sounds we can hear are from the Tascam or the other big one ?

[@RobertDudzic]

All TASCAM :-)

[@emreyilmaz1360]

Great :) how do you like the equivalent input noise. I mean is it disturbing if you want to do some field recording/sound design for filmmaking? Do you know the value (-125 dB for example) Thank you! @@RobertDudzic

[@RaphaelAshanti]

Robert, I would love to have that complete shotgun boom mic setup. Where do I get it?

[@RobertDudzic]

I just made this from random parts.

[@588ta]

Invest in a light good video though.

[@RobertDudzic]

I did, thank you

[@acoustically9201]

Can anyone help....? I've set up Record mode as INT STEREO / DUAL RECORD. Hit 'record' - flashes - set levels - hit record again - solid red. Then....it records for 5 seconds and stops recording and flashes red again. It then counts this 5 sec recording as a ''track'' in the Music Files. It's like there is a setting somewhere which is allowing only for 5 seconds of recording. Same thing happens if I use Ext Line In. PS... I've had this for 2 yrs but only learning to use it the last few days. I wonder if it is a software update issue. Any help much appreciated. Wanted to use it tonight....

[@RobertDudzic]

Please read the manual.

[@acoustically9201]

@@RobertDudzic Great idea. Thanks. But.....it's a zillion pages long. Is there an app which can read it for me and upload it into my last few brain cells that have not been fried by radiation this last 30 years?

[@BrooksAyola]

Man, it's a good thing I didn't listen to this with my eyes closed.

[@leoraj6156]

Can anyone help me with that tripod, I've searched it everywhere, I'm not able to get it. I need to mount my tascam recorder and a shotgun mic together, can anybody help me find that tripod

[@RobertDudzic]

Hi, I made this hand handler with parts I found on Amazon, look in camera hand pistol grip, make shore you will have option to attach different connectors. It’s possible, it’s take me time to found the right parts.

FFS I'm in the same boat and keep trying to narrow it down without it being cheap tatt
