What is better for recording guitar and vocals, this one or Roland Quad Capture?

This is pretty much the industry standard - Express is bundled with Mbox so its a good deal - but it is time consuming to set up - your choice of microphone will really determine the sound for your guitar and vocals - if you are on a budget I would recommend the Behringer B1 or something similar.

Im not sure about guitar but this is great for vocals. I love this product. As long as your mic and power cable are good you can make quality mixes!

If you are using a PA amp you can probably use a line out feed from the amp to drive your recorder. If not I like the Behringer splitters, they are good quality and reasonably priced.

Rode VideoMic Pro (not the other two non-pro versions, which are not better than TM700's built-in mic) seems to be your best choice. $229 from B&H.

I'm not sure if my experience will help you at all. I own a Roland CD-2U SC/CD Recorder and use the Taijo Yudens discs following advice from Roland technician. The results have been excellent and the quality of the discs is superb. Other brands didn't produce any good results.

Sorry, I have only used my recorder to record meetings and seminars so have no experience with it for guitar recordings.

Use a condenser mic and there are no problems. This box does guitar and vocals very well working with GarageBand.

Yes! You can record vocals and it also has Phantom power. How ever I only use it for electric guitar.

Using it thru ipad and garage band u can use some enhancement, reverb, echo, or guitar model amps, then record it, as far as i know, mixer is not recommended in recording , mostly its used in live, in my own opinion.

Hi Fred, the DP-24 is not easy to use unless you have experience using different digital recorders and/or software. I have used quite a few different devices and software, and still occasionally I need to refer back to the manual when using my DP-24. It gives great quality recordings if you are willing to invest the time learning how to use it. If you're looking for something simple, I would recommend starting with one of their smaller portastudios (see http://tascam.com/applications/musician/mtr_digital_portastudio/). A lot depends on how many channels you want to record at a time. If it's just you, and you want to record 1 or 2 channels at a time, go with one of their smaller devices, it will be simpler, and you will probably find no difference in sound quality and you will save hundreds of dollars.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!

I am sure it would work fine for that if you were able to get a software that was able to pick up the guitar and give it a driver that would make it record-able.

I use the 802 for business and personal. Don't think it is good for much more than voice. The mic's (even the stereo plug-in microphone) would not be sufficient for professional quality recording of a live performance. Also, it depends on the distance. If you have it right next to an acoustic guitar, it would probably be ok to use to record practice sessions (my son did that). But if you are in the audience, forget it.

It's not exactly like the Tascam 4 track, but still very easy to use and the recording quality is miles better. Go ahead and get one.

It all depends on the software you use with it. It comes with a free version of Serrato that does not let you record your performance. You can update to the full version for a fee. I chose to purchase CrossDJ which has sampling ability and a LOT more.

I purchased the Roland Cube to use for karaoke. I sing to recorded accompaniments generated on my laptop. So I purchased the Shure WH20XLR Dynamic Headset Microphone - (Wired) Includes 3-pin Male XLR Connector with Detachable Belt Clip at the same time. It is a headset mike. I plug the mike into one input and run a cable from my laptop to another input. The Roland handles that combination quite well for my purposes in front of an audience of around 100 elderly people. I am VERY pleased with the results!
