The H2 also though does 4channel recording with 4 mic's vs Tascam's 2 - and that 4 ch recording can be mixed into 5.1 surround]]>Jan 28th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/
Then I ordered a DR-1. Mine arrived today and I love it! The controls are where they should be and the battery life is great. I just wish that the external battery charger was included.]]>Apr 12th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/
I'm glad a high quality recorder like this isa availibele now, with removable memory. LEt's hope the price is descent and i will definatly get one]]>Jan 18th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/
However, I fail to see where recording to SD/SDHC is enough to warrant the first sentence. Marantz PMD 620, anyone?]]>Jan 18th 2008 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/
Take a (cheap) tape recorder and an expensive digital recorder, place them side by side and hit record. Now leave them alone for a few minutes and go about your buisness through the house. When you play them back, you will find the analogue tape picked up more of the faint and distant sound than the digital recorder. ]]>Jan 19th 2008 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/Jan 18th 2008 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/Jan 18th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/Jan 18th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/

As noted it can record MP3 direct to the card - and at up to 320kbps along with up to 96khz-24bit WAV format

The features and specs of the H2 are better than this Tascam - and its a hundred bucks less

As far as noise when you handle it - well duh! Any device will do that.

The H2 does everything this ]]>Jan 19th 2008 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/Jan 28th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/Jan 20th 2008 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/tascam-dr-1-digital-recorder-can-slow-things-down-without-changi/
It allows to you overdub - you can add to an existing track, kind of like a multitrack recorder, but without having the new audio in a track distinct from the previous track.

It allows you to change the speed of tracks without varying the pitch (as previously mentioned).

Here's a link with some more feature descriptions:

I think it sounds like an awesome recorder, and I'm excited to compare it to the Zoom H2 and Zoom H4 and test out some of these new features.]]>Jan 21st 2008 10:18PM
