Not really. I've used only once. Easier placement without having to be near recepticle

I bought the PSP520 to have unlimited power during our onstage orchestra performances which can be 4-6 hours long including rehearsals. My recorder [Tascam Dr100MKii], has a rechargeable Li-on battery [USB only to charge] and 2 AA batteries but that would still not be enough for our group except for short term recordings the Li-on is adequate.

No, it will run on AA batteries (6, I believe, for the 8-channel one I bought). They lasted quite a while for me, but I don't use it much. I bought the adapter for extended sessions. It's a REALLY good adapter, but it's not necessary to use the machine.

I have the 4 track. It will run on batteries but I wouldn't want it to run out of juice in the middle of a great track.

Yep. Get stereo 1/4" cables to whatever the input on the tascam is (1/4" TRS?) and take the feed from the two monitor outputs. They're the same as the mains but have their own volume control. You'll need to adjust their level into the recorder but you'll get a brilliant signal.

an exceptional player and recorder. but for $999.00 u can pick up the TASCAM SS-CDR200 which records in WAV or MP3 format to SD card, usb flash or CD-RW media. U can go from source audio to final product in one package.

You will have to use a DAW to operate for sure. It's not a stand alone. I also notice other comments to this regards. Good luck, Merry Xmas!

Your best bet would be to record your backing track into the Tascam (you have 8 tracks to use), then add a mike and record into a different track. The. Tascam has an equalizer so you can adjust the spund of your vpice as desired. Great little device. I wasted two years buying one software package after another to use on my computer and none of them were worth a toot. I love the Tascam for its ease and portability. The learning curve is moderate but the manual is very good at walking your through the process of making a master track (wav file) which can then be uploaded onto your computer. I downloaded another free software to change the wav file into an mp3. You'll love the Tascam onvce you are used to using it.

you don't, only way to find out is to try it out. make sure the person has a return or guarantee policy, if it works according to the instructions (which you should be able to figure out within a week) you're good. bought mine new, very good machine for home playing & recording. i use it to record vinyl dj mixes from my turntables. blank cd's for recording DO have to be MUSIC cd's & say so on the packaging. good luck...

Do you mean is it voice operated? No....this is a piece of junk, not worth a penny. I've rarely heard worse sound quality from ANYTHING. You should invest in a Tascam digital recorder. They're the size of a cordless phone, incredible digital sound quality, excellent built in mikes, easy to learn to operate, with a 32GB memory chip, you can record 64 hours of commercial CD quality sound or thousands of hours on various levels of MP3 compression. Even the most compressed MP3 setting yields a better recording than I've ever made with tape!! The Tascam DR-07 is around $100 and worth every penny, but there are both cheaper and more expensive models available. The only accessory really necessary is the AC adapter for around $25. Whatever you do, DON'T GET A CASSETTE RECORDER!!!

I don't see any reason why it can't be used with the Tascam. You would be sending the signal from the GTX into the 1/4 inch or XLR inputs on the Tascam.

First you will need a MIDI cable to connect this to your PC/sampler. Then you will need to configure this as a MIDI device on said device. This very much depends on which DAW/sampler you are using to trigger the samples. There is likely several steps, all of which would be different for any other DAW/sampler, to setup your MIDI devices and then additional steps to add samples and assign them to the trigger pads. This is not the place to get support for an individualized setup. Support forums and/or user manuals for your DAW/sampler will give you a lot more information.

Good question. I have to say I don't know. I did some checking and Amazon prime has the correct one, TASCAM PS-P515U AC Adapter for Select Portable Digital Recorders, be cautious, some reviewers claim it is for a european type plug in receptacle. Which doesn't make sense to me, because it is sold on Amazon's U.S. site. American music, music 123 and B&H; photo have them.

Cabase suppose to comes with an USB - Elicenser,but yes u need one,It's like a key to your car, if you don't know if it comes with it or not,get Cubase 7 then see if it come with it, if not.. Then you can purchase one.

I would suggest to research here http://www.numark.com/supportI got it for my brother who later upgraded to a full DJ deck. Unfortunately won't be able to answer. But it connects to a computer to operate, I assume you could record and save on your PC as an alternative.

I don't know, as I have only ever connected to a MAC. However, I found the information at the following link very helpful.http://www.gvsu.edu/speaking/troubleshooting-for-the-tascam-dr-05-18.htm

No, you can pass it through and record to your camera. I had to do this once when I forgot to bring enough SD cards. HOWEVER, the Tascam will turn off 20-30 minutes after no activity (recording) so keep that in mind.

1/19/2013 Hi Robert, I was going to select "I don't know" when I received the Amazon email, as I really don't know, but being curious myself, I went to the Tascam site and asked the question there for you. I am assuming that a cassette is a cassette and the unit will play it. But I think you are asking whether the unit has filters (bias and equalization) for the different coatings on the tape, am I correct? Looking through the manual, the only "real" thing it tells us is not to use 120 minute tape "as C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recommend their use." Now, back to your question...I emailed Tascam pre-sales information request and asked that question. It should be 2-3 business days for a reply. Hope this helps a "little tiny bit", and I'll get back to you as soon as I find out. Cheers!

If you read the previous thread, I stated that "I" had an issue with the unit not responding. The way "I" got it to function was by connecting the USB after I had powered the PC up. As to the reason why; it works that way for me. As to the technical reason you would have to contact Tascam support and ask them. If you have the problem of it not working with your application, try what I indicated - I don't know the reason why I have to do it that way. In any case, it should not work that way unless there is specific instructions by the manufacture that state to do it that way . . . They did not indicate that.
