Tascam Dr-40x Portable Digital Recorder : ASMR : AB vs XY : Sound Test : Tutorial

[@tripleeightproductions]

How are you guys and girls using your DR-40x? Internal or external mics?? I hear a lot of people are using them for ASMR?

[@zurichsee706]

what is ASMR? THIS? de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Sensory_Meridian_Response

[@SeaCryptWeave]

im looking into trying it for asmr soon

[@danielbrewer6469]

Would have been nice to hear the guitar in both a,b and x,y configurations.

[@tripleeightproductions]

Check out my equipment list and let me know what you want a review or tutorial about next!

[@fruffers]

You sound so kind and knowledgable. Thank you! :)

[@extendedp1]

Thanks for the video. I wish you had done more than just the one matchbox demo.

[@tinotrivino]

friend, never let your small finger over the guitar or in severeal years you will have a lot of pain, beleive me ;) Thank you so much for this wonderful video tascam rules always :D

[@tripleeightproductions]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sto2779]

Great explanation. Can you make a video on how to use the built in mic to do great voice recordings used for voice overs?

[@ampmmbe1590]

I had to subscribe. Excellent videos!!

[@tripleeightproductions]

Thank you

[@mansurovrenat]

thank you for the stereo test!

[@tripleeightproductions]

Your welcome! Hope it was helpful

This is a great video: in-built MICs sound better than I expected: I'll be doing fireplace, rain and wind atmos sounds with it and was wondering if I'll need to be connecting up external mics - but by the sound of your tests I may not even need them.

[@justahuman9273]

VERY VERY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!! 😊👍

[@tripleeightproductions]

Great. Many thanks.

[@finalboss_asmr]

Thank you for the video! It's great! Did you testing the Tascam DR-07X?

[@SpazioTesla]

Buongiorno volevo chiedere come posso collegare i mic. lavalier ( sennheiser, Rode ecc..) direttamente perchè non sono riuscito a farli funzionare in tutti i modi collegamenti bilanciati sbilanciati TRS XLR settaggi vari ecc.. premetto che i lavalier funzionano perfettamente come pure i vari mic fucile ( Sennheiser MK6.. Rode NTG...) Grazie Rasty

[@asmr6773]

Are two channels reserved for the built in mics or can i use all 4 channels for line level instruments (for example). Does it have metronome??

[@wildbillfirehands]

How about listening in headphones and record in simul sync type mode ? Song writing.

[@tripleeightproductions]

Yes, listening through headphones whilst recording is definitely recommended

[@bobdawg3]

Since the mics are movable from xy to ab, And each position has its own qualities, I’m wondering if it’s possible to position the mics in between those 2 settings and get a hybrid sound that gives you the positive features of each position to some degree? Thx Rob

[@tripleeightproductions]

It’s always worth experimenting. You might end up with best of both, or worst of both!

[@CrazyFuzz8]

Good quality

[@goodknight37]

I really hope Dickey has seen this🙂

[@YoussefHallouly]

Hey man i have a 1/4 adaptor to 3.5mm connected to my mic to the Tascam Dr40X but even if i set the parameters correct it does not record audio, do you have that problem?

[@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....

[@soda4864]

So AB do asmr better than XY?

[@TheJetfighter666]

I am just going to sing directly into the same setup yx as it comes.

[@tripleeightproductions]

Hey, for singing give it a go with an external mic. It’ll sound much better than the built in mics.

[@PainkillerDCXVI]

@@tripleeightproductions Why this happens exactly? I thought the mics were the strong point of the recorder? Thanks.
