Review: Brilliant!! - I come at audio for video with a pretty strong audio background. Tascam has a reliable reputation in the audio industry so when I needed an audio recorder I favored the DR100 mk2 over other brands like say Zoom that have tended to be sort of cheapo equipment in that other industry. The 100mk2 had several major flaws: 1. It's form factor and construction - though great for a handheld audio recorder, it was super awkward to mount with camera hardware, wireless mic receivers, etc... on top of this it had sort of cheap feeling construction 2. It's gain attenuator switch applied to both recording channels instead of having individual controls which created all sorts of havoc working with microphones with radically different gain expectations 3. The inability to partial use of onboard mics along with external was annoying too. The reason I list these issues is because the DR-70D handles all of these problems and more. It's form factor could not be more perfect for working with other video gear. Even if you don't use the feature of screwing it into your camera's tripod attachment (which is genius btw), you can use that feature bolt the d70 into a camera strap or use the screen guards as a convenient attachment for other shoulder straps. Plus it's built tough! The 70D has very discreet controls for each recording channel. You can freely assign inputs and input gain. On top of all that, they've added combo connectors so quarter inch feeds off of a sound board don't need to be converted to xlr, there are 2 more connectors and corresponding tracks, and there are a bunch of other bells and whistles like safety track recording and stereo mapping. The onboard controls are very intuitive too. Finally, the fact that the device outputs 4 discreet audio files when you transfer files to your editor is a nice touch. The simplicity of being able to just drag and drop the files into an editor without splitting them or having to worry about pan settings and whatnot was a great piece of forethought on the engineers part. All this and it's a really inexpensive device! All this is to say that I am very impressed and Tascam is fully redeemed in my eyes.
Review: Excellent multichannel sound with SDI Timecode Input at a reasonable price!!! Flexible form factor. - This is the second unit I purchased for my Film and Television production class. The first one worked flawlessly until a student dropped it and broke the SDI input, which was a major reason for purchasing this model. We need timecode jam sync so students can learn tradition sync sound film production technique. This Tascam recorder is the least expensive option I've found with a professional timecode in port and high quality audio preamps. If you don't need timecode sync then get the cheaper version without the SDI in port. It's functionally identical. If you need timecode sync then this is a fantastic and reasonably priced option that will not disappoint. Quickly, for those who aren't sure why they might need timecode sync, here are a couple of examples: 1) You want to record high quality audio with professional mics but your camera doesn't have the necessary inputs or function. You will need a separate audio recorder. While it's possible to sync the audio in post through matching waveforms, the best way to accomplish this is with matching timecode. 2) You want to sync multiple cameras and audio. This might be necessary for recording a live event or concert. Practically speaking, the only way to do this reliably is with timecode. You can't rely on picture and audio staying in sync because some cameras may be far enough away from the audio source to create a delay between the visual and the audio. It must also be said that you could use a timecode generator that outputs timecode to an unused audio track. That would eliminate the need for the timecode input. That's an acceptable option but a proper timecode input is the better, more professional, and more flexible option and doesn't require special software to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great audio recorder - only use memory cards on Tascam's recommended list
*by A***R on March 21, 2016*

I purchased this to capture individual tracks from the mixer when my guitar/vocal duo performs. 4 tracks is perfect. I own a DR-05 that I've used to capture audio of practices and performances and it has worked VERY well for me for the 5 years that I've owned it. With the success of the DR-05, I figured I'd stick with Tascam for a multitrack digital recorder. The form factor is great. It's sturdily build with a metal chassis. The buttons feel solid. The level controls for each channel are a little tight, but not a big deal. It is easily set up and pretty intuitive. I was able to remove the mount on top since I won't be using this with a DSLR. They even give you little rubber plugs to plug the holes if you choose to do this. Sound quality of the recordings is fantastic. I am recording 4 individual mono tracks at 16bit/44.1kHz. Beware that it is very picky about memory cards. I had purchased a 128GB PNY card to use with it. It is the same card that has worked wonderfully for me in my Canon HD camcorder. With this card, the DR-70D would record for an hour or so and stop with a "file write error". This happened numerous times and with multiple cards. I decided to try a SanDisk card from Tascam's recommended list. This works perfectly fine.
