I've had nine months, I used to save the two groups weighed again to record two shows and also as a mp3 player lounge.
I recommend buying the power supply 5V Tascam. NiMH batteries but it works to be quiet they must be recharged before each repeat, which is tedious. Attention, a power supply voltage multi pedal, which gives 4.5V or 6V it will not work.
I made a recording with the power supply over the battery, I unplugged the power supply during recording, the batteries have taken over without disrupting the recording.
I made a record with the batteries by pushing them to end, recording will stop but it has been recorded so far is not lost.
I made a recording to saturate the memory card, all that was recorded before saturation is kept.
The sound with microphones embedded is not bad, just a medium, the stereo is not very wide, but it's still very good. Microphones embedded in the fall a little serious, but the new firmware (1.02) includes a filter booster serious, I just try it and it works. I tried to register with the entry line, the ass of the mixer, and the sound is excellent. Operation is simple.
The USB connection works well with Windows XP. Warning do not buy any memory card, I have a 8 giga works very badly. I have no problems with several Giga 4, so I recommend buying a card that listed Tascam if you want more than 4 Giga. It comes with a 2G, which is already 3:20 in Stereo wav 44.1 kHz 16 bits. But you can record to mp3. Curiously missing throughput 160 Mb / s recording, but it reads well. USB2 transfer of 647 MB ​​(47 files) from the DR07 to a NetPC takes 45 seconds, 14.4 MB / s with an SD Card Sandisk Ultra II 4 GB sold for 15 MB / s.
For the curious user manual can be downloaded from the Tascam site.
The machine is absolutely silent, even the power supply does not snore. The wheel can be used to move in a registration already made, it is, when there was a repeat of three hours, and we have no way to get a time code, it is desirable to have a system performing fast forward and rewind. That said there are ways to further improve the operation of the dial. And even once during the use of the wheel the machine crashed, had to cut the power supply and remove the battery to unlock, but it happens very rarely. Another small detail, reading, when you get near the end of a song, if you want to select another with the knob, the action selection is canceled if the song reaches the end before we have finished selecting.
Startup takes 9 seconds and no noise to power the speakers. The decision takes 4 seconds and you can hear a slight cloc in speakers but nothing bothersome.
Tip: in toto you can buy an adapter 3 / 8 - 1 / 4 ref 118999 for 4 euros you can screw the DR07 on a microphone stand.
It's true that it lacks a cover, having said that when you add the DR07, the batteries, manual, USB cable, audio cable, adapters few mini jack / jack / RCA ... the power supply industry, an SD card rabe, but rather a bag that must be!
To save repetition is really good, I would do without this choice problem. We feel the seriousness, the quality, expertise Tascam.
