That's just a little of what it does. In my opinion, Tascam is over-priced and living off their legacy -- and I used to own a Tascam recorder.]]>Aug 7th 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 7th 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 8th 2008 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/Aug 8th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/
I keep getting that problem with my DR1 as well, drop-outs throughout the recordings. its extremely disappointing. All the levels sound great, recording is going and then all of a sudden it gets super quiet. Did you ever figure out a resolution to this problem? I just recorded last night and experienced this issue. calling tascam tomorrow morning.. let me know if you figured something out.

thanks!]]>Aug 24th 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/You guys who have experienced dropouts...

The Tascam GT-R1 has a built-in Limiter, amongst several other features.
I don't know if the Limiter goes before or after the signal that's being recorded. If it's possible to place it before, I'd imagine it would be easyer to deal with the dropouts.

I've been using an AIWA Mini-Disc for about ten years now, and it has the same "problem".
I suppose it's an automatic (non-deactivatable) feature that avoids the audio to get distorted when the unit receives higher peaks, and it happens whatever the input settings.

So as I said, it would help if you can apply the Limiter before the signal goes in.

But is it possible to do that?

Any info will be appreciated, as I'm looking to buy one of these, but I'm wondering how big that downside really is...
The Roland R-09HR is another option but I'm leaning towards the Tascam GT-R1 because its features seem to suit me better.

Thanks...]]>Sep 23rd 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/tascams-gt-r1-records-impromtu-guitar-bass-jams/
No power adapter.

It didn't come with one. It came with a rechargeable battery, but not the AC to 5v DC adapter required for charging it.

That's another US $18 to 35. Oh, and it's out of stock everywhere I look.

I'll be checking RadioCrap tomorrow, but failing that, I have paid hundreds of dollars for 7 hours worth of recording.
