The lightest way to podcast! the Teenage Engineering TP-7 & CM-15 Mic!

[@PeterMcKeon]

If you're looking for a small, portable, battery powered recorder, get a Zoom, if you have too much money, get this.

[@pan6593]

These designs (specifically - was silver before, but this includes the formfactor now) remind me of Nagra devices. And with them, it is more reminiscent of the 70‘s and 80‘s!-)

[@HB..]

Agreed!!

[@rossawilson01]

I think people struggle with the idea of expensive, well made, built to last, fun to interactive gear. They say get a zoom, and they’ll also own loads of other gear, for audio and video and photography and god knows what else. And to them you have it all but spend less on each thing. But it used to all be built like this and cost this much, and you specialised and probably didn’t try to have something of everything.

dude over the last few years ive been aggressively trying to downsize and simplify my home studio set up. went from an old television screen, full sized full range monitor speakers, large midi keyboard, several mics, etc. ive downsized considerably buy im now getting very very close to ditching even my Mac in favor of an iPad and the cm-15 (along with a few other essentials). but my goal currently is to be able to fit a fully functional recording studio in a backpack. the cm-15 is the damn coolest thing ive seen in a long ass time. and when you consider the build quality and actual tech/features built into the thing, its really not all that outrageously priced.

[@kevinbothwell8425]

thats my very long winded way of agreeing with you. fewer, smaller, better built/more intentionally built devices to get in the way LESS. the gear should never take the spotlight off of the art/work.

astonishingly beautiful and impressive

[@dinoscheidt]

Sounds dumb, but I have a Laywer friend. Lawyers and legal people record voice all the time. A great (very expensive) gift

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

Wow you're so cool bro.

[@Frakaphoto]

nice tools but alas for the time the file system (FTP) is not compatible with ipad or iphone so you will not be able to extract the 3 stereo track on field without a computer and a special transfer software .

[@valdemaar84]

I've been checking their site regularly since it was added to the TE shop and I haven't seen it in stock once yet I see content creators and reviewers use it. What's the deal? parts shortage? software issues?

[@rorz999]

Parts shortage. Saw someone from TE mention it very recently in a video about the TP-7

[@valdemaar84]

Thanks for replying. I hope they get it resolved soon@@rorz999

[@BadChizzle]

I Like all their stuff, but… man the $ is impossible for me. Still… it’s very Cool stuff for those who can afford it all!

[@blakerupert4920]

Looks great! Looove the scrub through Too bad the transcription doesn't split speakers

[@ObscuraHailOfficial]

That's coming in an update ;)

[@blakerupert4920]

Wow that'd be wicked thanks. When it shows up, and if it works 95% of the time, imma get me one!!! @@ObscuraHailOfficial

[@butteo]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a recording studio?

[@ObscuraHailOfficial]

define recording studio

[@butteo]

A studio where recording takes place.@@ObscuraHailOfficial

[@matt-lang]

It's definitely an expensive setup. A far cheaper alternative would be a Zoom H6 and Tula mic, but that's a bit larger and I don't think there's anything else that accomplishes exactly what the TP-7 & TE field series does at the size it is. It's not in this video but IMO the TX-6 is actually a really unique little device and is probably worth the price for certain people.

[@ObscuraHailOfficial]

@@matt-lang agree here, I moved my portable setup to TE from using the H6 and the workflow between the TX-6 and the TP-7 is extremely fluid. They've certainly turned music production into an efficient and welcomed tactile/DAWless experience with the only downside being a lack of preamps (soundprofessionals have a few batt powered stereo 3.5 jack preamps that solves this). Granted, if you own a space to setup some gear then by all means you could purchase a decent desk/interface/preamps/microphones/cables/controllers and even have enough for a workable laptop at the end, but I work with artists in their designated spaces and feel more engaged with their music this way. It's currently the most portable high quality studio setup I've seen (Critter and Guitari might be catching up though - check out their equivalents)

[@pakhyeoncheol]

I know you’re joking but for those who are curious how much this setup would cost it’s ~$2,700

[@pan6593]

Might be the wrong place here, but a questions come to my -only sometimes mobile- mind: is the power input (type-c) a power bypass ? It would be horrible if a permanent connection would overcharge it constantly (and lead to long-term damage even if not much used).

[@fegik5922]

and all this...can be done flawlessly on any high-end smartphone and even more

[@VariTimo]

128 gigs, That’s depressing. With what this is supposed to be, it should have a ridiculous amount of storage for an audio recorder. Like 512GB at least, 2TB would be better.

[@reneeschke]

A shame theres a tx6 lying around and you dont talk about it

[@reneeschke]

"Couple of these mics" at 1200€ each, lol

[@stephenkrus]

💎✨👌

[@Reedith]

wish it was black or dark greay

[@inter-linked]

Useless

[@vonaudio5435]

for you :)
