All user reviews of 3/5 for the Tascam DR-1

After several months of use

One problem with recording with automatic level adjustment is crap, it keeps changing level ...

The manual recording level is better but should not crash on setting because otherwise it saturates even with the limiter. M'enfin the result is correct.

I have not tried with an external microphone, but a priori the two microphones will do the trick.

Although designed to work: adjustable speed, key change, according to overdub to register over a playback, AB repeat simple, navigation wheel, it's all very well.

Also, thank you Tascam, no software to install the con to copy the songs to PC and vice versa! You plug in USB, it works directly with drag and drop like a USB key. Too simple.

Ok you can not rename the tracks with the DR1 but no interest because the PC is much more convenient for this kind of manipulation.

Rechargeable battery, so thank you! Stop the batteries!

Other defects:
Aspect-plastoc a little, old MD is beefier. You can feel the buttons a little fragile.
It must be connected via USB to recharge the battery but then you can not play songs or record, so there's more to go drink beer ...
- Qd there's more it prevents battery is not "low batt" and over! (My MD he blinked pdt him some time before you leave me stranded!). average range
I also bought support for mic (expensive! 50 euros) but ultra convenient!

In my opinion a little expensive
