Grab high-resolution recordings wherever you roam with the compact, affordable Tascam DR2D portable digital recorder, which uses either its own built-in condenser microphones or your own microphones plugged into the device. It offers up to 96kHz/24-bit WAV or MP3 recording to SD cards, and recordings can be transferred to computer through high-speed USB 2.0. A dual recording feature also records a copy of your audio at a lower level, so if the level suddenly jumps you have a backup instead of a distorted performance. ptable align=right width=350 cellpadding=10trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/tascam-DR2D-hero.jpg" border=0 align=top width=350 height=498brbrsmallibThe Tascam DR2D portable digital recorder./b/i/small/td/tr/table You can slow down recordings without changing the pitch, and there's also a metronome and built-in speaker.

With features like dual recording, Variable Speed Playback and 96kHz WAV audio quality, you'll want to take it anywhere you create music. Here are three possible uses of the DR2D: table width="100%" cellpadding=10trtd valign=top width="70%"h3Using Dual Recording to Avoid Clipping/h3 The dual recording feature can record two WAV files - one at normal level, one much lower - so you always have a backupin case your main recording distorts. Here's how to set that up: olliPress and hold the DUAL button, under the STOP button./liliTurn the DATA WHEEL to select "Mode"./liliPress the »| button to access the right column./liliTurn the wheel again until the display says "Dual"./liliPress |« to select the left column again, turn the wheel to select "Level" and press the »| button./liliUse the wheel to select how much lower the second recording should be, from -6dB to -12dB./liliPress the STOP/HOME button then press RECORD. The bottom left corner should say something like "Dual -12"./li/ol/tdtd valign=topimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/tascam-DR2D-clipping.jpg" border=0 align=top width=250 height=210/td/trtrtd valign=top width="70%"h3Better Live Recordings with Dual Inputs/h3 Another advantage to the dual recording feature is recording two sets of inputs. For live recording, you can record your set using the built-in mics as well as a direct "board mix" from the front-of-house mixer to the line inputs. To set this up: olliPress and hold the DUAL button, under the STOP button./liliTurn the DATA WHEEL to select "Mode", Press the »| button to access the right column./liliThere are two options, Mix and Line. Use "Mix" to combine the two sources inside the DR-2d for one stereo file. Use "Line" to create two stereo files on the DR-2d that you can mix together later using your DAW software./liliAdjust the "Level" setting to set the second recording level (in "Line") or the blend between mic and line inputs (in "Mix.")/li/ol/tdtd valign=topimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/tascam-DR2D-dualinput.jpg" border=0 align=top width=250 height=264/td/trtrtd valign=top width="70%"h3Using Variable Speed Audition to Learn Music/h3 Tascam portable recorders allow you to loop and slow down music to learn new licks or transcribe parts.
