General

There could be myriad reasons why you want a field recorder. Maybe you want to record a concert. Maybe you're a foley artist and want to build yourself a big library of all kinds of outdoor sounds. Maybe you're looking for the surf of the sea as an intro to your own music. Of course, you can record this with your smartphone, but wouldn't it be a whole lot wiser to use a real high-class recorder for this? Much better components, much better quality, and you get that anyway with this Tascam DR-05XP field recorder. The recording quality is 32-bit float, so there is no more wrong gain. Moreover, this DR-05XP can also be used as a (simple) USB-C audio interface, for instance when you connect it to your laptop. In short, a very nice device!

Wrote the following about Tascam DR-05XP Field Recorder

Ik heb wat proefopnamen gemaakt. moet dicht bij de geluidsbron staan. heel veel bas en mid en hoog klinkt ver weg. Misschien had ik een maandagochtend model. Ik had er meer van verwacht maar kon hem gelukkig probleemloos retourneren.

Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Pour une guitare acoustique le TASCAM DR 05XP est bluffant. L’application gratuite « tascam podcast editor » est parfaite pour le traitement des enregistrements, multilingue et très intuitive elle n’en reste pas moins performante.
