So does the USB connection allow for dumping the recorded stuff in the computer or do you have to use the SD card? Will it input to a MacBook Pro?

My honest advice... don't buys these Tascams. i bought and returned this because its to cumbersome to access and it doesn't support phantom power. if your doing strictly instrumentation this is cool but you don't want to limit yourselfs to what type of inputs you can use. they look beautiful but this one and the smaller unit are funky to use. i bought the portable version to this and it looks very nice and professional but its a pain in the but to work with...The interface was poorly designed. Just my opinion, ask some others.

RDR...It does "dump" through the USB connection. The process takes a few steps to "save" and then "export" the track to the "WAV" folder PRIOR to connecting the USB cable. After connecting the USB cable, open the DP-006 folder in "computer", open the "WAV" folder and there is your track. I always "move to" a folder on my laptop...keeps the DP-006 memory clean. I use a PC...sorry...but the operation on the DP-006 will be the same prior to connecting the USB cable to a Mac. Hope this helps

The USB connection is for uploading it to your computer. Do not know about MAC, Sorry

No you connect it to another device such as computer, iPad and save the recordings there.

This is just a blind stab in the dark, but since this device uses a flash memory card, it seems to me there must be a USB card reader that you could plug into your Mac, that you could then use to transfer the data directly to your desktop? Like I do with my cameras card? Hope this helps.

It is compatible with Macs. When you plug it in, it acts like a USB thumb drive, so it should appear on your Desktop and in Finder, allowing you to browse through and find your audio recordings.

Yes, it connects to the Mac's firewire port and can download footage directly into iMovie (if you want). I own this camera and use it with my Mac Mini, running OS 10.4

I don't know why, since in my opinion just the GarageBand app + iRig would be a better option for mac users... But yes -- you just might need the right cable, depending on what you intend to do with it: probably just a cable with a stereo mini-TRS connector (earphone plug type) and a TS or TRS big connector (common guitar-cable plug type), if you want to record from the mac to the recorder.

Yes, I've been using it with my MacBook Pro. However, I did not use the software (disk) that came with it. (Small disc. Not compatible with Mac.) I use a program called Audacity, that I downloaded from the internet.

I was digitizing low quality cassette tape to MacBook files. It worked well for that. I don't know how it'll work for high quality sound. Sorry. My gut feeling is it would do fine but.....

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

Emma - "YES" ! The ONLY computers that I own are Macs. I can remove the SDHC 32 meg Memory Card and place it in in my external "Memory Card Reader" OR connect the cam directly to any of my Macs with a USB cable.

I am using linux and it works fine. It should recognize it like any usb flash media. I haven't hooked it up to a Mac yet. The only problem I can imagine a Mac having would be having to convert the files from WMA format.

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

I haven't had a problem with it. I plugged the USB into my MAC for the power source, and attached a flash drive to the other connector and then pressed the buttons as described in the instructions that came with it. It worked fine. I also worked out how to create spaces in between tracks. All I can suggest is make sure the flash drive is connected and you have space on the drive for the recording. Best of luck

If you connect a usb to it, you can record music to your usb, but if you have a computer or what not, you are better of. The moment I took it out of the box, I knew it was not what I wanted, so I immediately put it back in the box and sent it back.

Remove the SDXC card from the video recorder. Put it in the SC card slot on the Mac.... BAM!! iMove, iPhoto, and other software that run on the Mac will use the data off the card. :) I have OS-10.9.3 running.
