I am a Zoom guy and, so far, had always sworn to never get any kind of Tascam equipment. It’s like being a Canon person; you’d never catch me using Sony, not even under heavy torture. That being said, I’m strongly considering getting the X8. I’ll have to fight my demons first, and accept that I like this device. Thanks for the review.
Hahahha I do understand
Awesome comparison. Both of their XY mics are way better than I expected. Definitely seem extremely similar at 24bit but 32 bit sounds much nicer in my opinion. Thanks for the video Eazy!
For sure
That was awesome!! Thank you my brother! All the way from Brazil 🙌
Ayyyyyy thanks
Thanks for making this video. Setting the X8 and the H6 to 24-bit and the same sample rate should have made no difference. It's down to each manufacturers quality of microphones, pre-amps and positioning. 32 bit float will make no difference to the audio quality - honestly - unless you change the sample frequency. Where 32 bit float wins is having such a huge dynamic range with no clipping on the high volume end. Also, If you have recorded something too low, with 32-bit it can be easily recovered without raising the noise floor, hence the phrase "Set it and forget it". To be able to record say a thunderstorm from relatively quiet raindrops to a crash of thunder successfully without touching the unit, and without having to employ a large amount of compression/limiters, in a word is astonishing! - Just watch out for your speakers/eardrums on playback. Ps. I have ordered the X8. Thank you again for this video. Subscribed to you. Peter.
Thanks for watching I really appreciate your insight
Very well said 👏
Wow I finally found another tech reviewer that has been doing it a long time like me! You have reached new heights compared to my channel but I fell off too many times. I'm going to subscribe and I really like the audio quality it's great.
Ayyyyy welcome I really appreciate it
I'm pretty sure I have the same chair as u also. I got sent the GT racing chair for review. 😊 It wasn't a very viral video for me but fun to make.
Thanks…I enjoyed your comparison video. Blessings on your day.
Great video! I especially liked the leaf crunch and soda fizz. 😎 I am using one of these for recording DJ sets and I love the headroom, and the way it records separate tracks for crowd noise and mixer output. These are versatile pieces of gear.
Ayyyyy thanks for watching I really appreciate it
Thanks for your comparison. It helps me which one I choose. Especially, the cracking sound of fallen leaves was the most helpful to choose👍. Tascam x8 would be better for me.
Cool I'm glad to be of service to you
Great video, Easy. My Zoom H4nPro is still going strong. Great to see the fancy screen on that Tascam.
Ooooo yeah it's great so far. Thanks for watching
Thank you for your presentation. I do have the H6 for a few yrs now. very good MIC.I am considering the x8 or x6 for the 32 bit.
For sure I have new videos coming soon
Which windscreen did you use on the X8? It seems like when the mic capsules are on the AB orientation, most generic windscreen made for hand held recorders might not fit properly.
I had a few of them laying around my studio and it fit with no problem.
When recording outdoors, the Tascam was blown out by the wind while the Zoom was crystal clear. What deadcats did you use for the test? I also have both recorders, but have not made a similar side by side comparison. I like the interface and features of the X8 better, but there are a few software glitches and reliability issues.
I use generic deadcats that I got from Amazon thanks for watching I really appreciate it
Love the LA Boot in the intro 👊🏽
For sure thanks for watching I really appreciate it
Hi. Great video! Which one, or others similar, would you think to be preferable for recording a handpan instrument at a budget no higher than $400 USD? Thank you.
Both of them under 400 USD. I would recommend the X8 for the 32bit float. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
That Tascam did sound better with the pop can demo. I think peaking would work better with the 32 bit. For over $150 more though, is it worth it? Thanks for posting this dude.
Peaking is ok at 32bit because it can be fix with no problem it's great
Nice comparison. When you compared the 32-bit float to the zoom h6 24-bit, the X8 sounded MUCH better. The idea of not fiddling with any gain knobs and just pressing record is incredibly compelling. Are you now using exclusively 32-bit float for all of your recordings? I have an X8 on order and it's supposed to arrive later this month. Can't wait!!
Yeah I'm exclusive using 32bit float and my my I love it 100% no more clipping and low audio everything can be fix in post. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
@@TheTechPreacher Your hears can t tell you the difference between 24 and 32 bit, really. LoL....Where the 32 bit can come in handy is when you clip, not really quality wise, at least for your human hears...Your dog would probably ear the difference, he s a better sound engineer than you, LOL
Thanks for watching
@@gibson2623so true 😆
great test video and show the difference of the internal mics. thank you
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
I purchased a Zoom F6 and love it, but seeing this one, I also want the Tascam too.
The main difference I'm noticing is the the xy mics on the Tascam seem to have a slightly wider stereo pickup.
No, you do not want to trade one of the very best recorder against that handheld recorder.
Do your research before making any decision.
X8 has so many issues software and hardware wise you probably want to avoid this thing.
The zoom f6 is a great recorder the tascam x8 doesn't have issues I'm not sure what you talking about mines works great. If you have one maybe you should get it replaced but to say that you are wrong
@@TheTechPreacher I agree Eazy. I've heard lots of good with the X8. I'd certainly consider the X8 for certain situations.
For sure I have both the zoom h6 and the tascam x8 and it's been great
@@TheSecurityAgency The issues are fixed with the current firmware updates.
Great video. It’s interesting how much tech is needed for content creators
Yeah lol it's a lot
@@TheTechPreacher I’m an tech lover in general & love the content you, Barry, GG, & the rest of the community makes.
For sure I really appreciate it
They both sound great I think this comes down to user interface
Yes I totally agree with you
Hello, thank you for the review. What about Tascam x8 vs the new H6 essential? What would your brief thoughts be? Thank you so much 🙏
H6 for a cheap price would be my pick. Thanks for watching
So is it true that 32 float doesn’t increase sound quality. I’ve been wanting to upgrade from my H1 to the 6 but I heard Essential is almost here.
It gives you a clean source but you need a good microphone and microphone placement
24/96 is all you ever need. 16 bit is as good (quality wise) as 24 or 32 bit. Bit rate increases headroom to prevent clipping. 44.1 kHz is sufficient and is the number of times per second the sound waves are sampled. 96khz makes a very detailed wave and is better, but the quality difference is hard to tell. Enjoy! I’ve always been a Tascam fan, but I know zoom is a great product too.
For sure thanks for watching I really appreciate your insight
Can you still record in 32 bit while sending audio to the camera and have two separate audio tracks? One track saved to the recorder and one track sent over to the camera
Yes you sure can
Salutations Preacher. Was wondering if you are still using the Tascam and if you have encountered any issues? I am definitely in the market and all feedback helps. Thanks for your time and keep preachin’!
Yes I'm still using it please check out my channel I talk about it all the time
It Sounds like on the Tascam is a deep Noise? Sometimes ist Sounds Strange.
Thanks for the Test! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Thank you for your video 🦋 ☀
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
I want to like the portacapture x8, but not sure if I want to pay for a screen that suffers contrast burn in/ghosting, which has been confirmed by other users. 1st gen releases are always problematic, as not everything can be fixed by firmware upgrades.
Mmmmmmm tascam has been around for years this is not there 1st gen recorders. I've been using the tascam x8 for a month now almost every day and don't have screen issues. Thanks for watching
@@TheTechPreacher See FLorian Bodlee's video. I have used Tascam products for years and my DR-40 has been a workhorse for years, tho the headphone jack no longer works. Glad you do not have screen issues.
For sure I'm not having issues so far
there are some people who just base their decision on Reddit or worst Quora.
Screen is perhaps not on par with one in your latest iPhone, but who cares? It is not for doing photo editing or even watching videos. It is there to control and monitor your audio recorder...and currently I do not know any other recorder in this approximate price range which has a cleaner, nicer colour touchscreen that makes everything really easy to set. I have near zero issues with the screen per se. There are a few things that could make the device even better, but a more expensive screen is not even among the top 10 in my wishllist.
Wow the Tascam has an amazing screen
Beautiful screen
Thank you!
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
Great video man i bet them things are expensive
Not to high
I have links down below to check out the prices
The x8 sounds noticeably better.but the cheapa$$ in me would probably cop the H6 since the audio is clean enough.
For sure thanks for watching both are really good
Thank you for comparison. Did you use windscreen on the X8?
I think X8 is bit easy to accept wind affect. On that point, H6 is better?
I use a windscreen outside. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
I would have loved to have seen you in the park stepping on leaves with those two poles in your hand. Lmao these people in the park were like what the heck. 😅
Lol
Can I jam timecode into this?
Yep
@@TheTechPreacher i know they have the Bluetooth device but is there another way?
Why are these things still using AA batteries? It is 2022, they should have built in rechargeable batteries,
Oooo no definitely you want battery like this when you are in the field. Rechargeable battery life span is not that good plus when you are shooting a long video and the batteries run down it's easy swappable in please you can use USB power chargerayso in there is no need for batteries at all. I hope you understand trust me film makers don't want that
Zoom H6 self noise of -121dBu ....what about X8 ?
Not sure
@@TheTechPreacher i just cant find any S/N ratio ( signal-to-noise) info about this device ..
The x8 is -121 dBu I just look at the manual.
it's nearly 10 years for the H6 came out...
Thanks for watching
If this thing had an internal battery and fast charging with USBC I would have bought it just from looking at it.
For sure I do understand
Even-Steven 😄
Thanks for watching
It's great but Sony Tx660 is portable. That mean you can get it everywhere you go. That is powerful think, you can't deny that guys :)
I love been portable & Sony got me cover it.
But truth is, that this devices are amazing! But you need to doing very pro, ask yourself if you want having big tools or portable small ones but still great ;)
For sure thanks for watching I really appreciate it
In love with the dirty 2 bit audio😂 thanks for the video man❤
Thanks for watching
@@TheTechPreacher Just ordered the x8 1 min ago 🙏
Ayyyye congratulations to you check out this video to hear how good it sounds outside
