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. Here is how you set that up: olliPlay a WAV or MP3 file. liPress the I/O button at the start and end point of where you want to loop the section. The music will automatically loop. liPress the PB CONT button to switch that function on. liPress and hold the PB CONT button to access its menu.
