Hi everybody, I am new to this forum and I have just bought a Tascam DR-05X recorder.
You folks are gonna hate me but it is WAY above my head. I bought it to take to music concerts (by putting it in a shirt breast pocket) and record the gigs. I have tried it out by recording the TV, my voice and my car's music system and the quality is not good!! In fact it's piss-poor.
I am totally green about sound recording and have NO idea what the settings mean, never mind what to set them on. Can anybody advise me please what to set the "Rec Setting" options at (Format, Sample, Size, Low Cut, Pre Rec, Auto Tone, Tone Secs, Tone Vol, Mode amd Level). The manual is a total waste of time and gives no information.
Do I also have to change any 'I/O' settings. Again the manual says nothing, but I assume this to mean 'Input/Output'?
I couldn't afford £100 plus for a recorder to take with me to concerts which is why I plumped for the DR-05X (& after reading reviews which were generally positive) ................................... but have I bought a crock of sh*t which is totally unsuited to my needs?
