This is a wonderful unit that records outstanding audio... With that said the only problems I have had (and it's mainly on me) is navigating the setup menus. They seem to not be easy to understand and not intuitive. Granted I don't use this on a daily basis so I end up having to carry a print out of the manual with me to navigate the advanced settings for setting up more than one microphone. The only other complaint would be the 'under engineered' 1/4" tripod mount on the bottom. When I purchased the unit (used) this mount was broken, but a bit of JB-Weld glue seems to have fixed it for the interim. I have ordered a replacement part easily from the very helpful staff at Tascam for $6. But the dinky tiny metal piece has made me not trust this to hold the weight of the camera and side monitor on top of it unless in a non-moving studio environment... even then I'd think twice. Lately I've just used an extra lighting tripod to hold it by its self next to my camera setup. As mentioned, all in all it is a wonderful addition to my video equipment setup, but I really need to practice setting up different mic combinations as to not look so unprofessional flipping through a ratty bunch of papers setting up the digital recorder at the time of filming on site...Read full review

Tascam has made a nice studio machine, but its more complicated that what I need. Its new so it works just fine. I haven't been able to figure out how to connect it to my old synthesizer. It costs more than its worth but isn't that true with all of this stuff??

I have a us 1641 and my new laptop have windows 10 and the drivers available for the us 1641 let me use the unit but there is a horrible sound in the background like a very low ring .I tested all drivers and firmwares I checked my voltage and all was correctly installed so I had no choice but to update my interface. Got the us 4x4 b stock for a good deal only complain is the sonar le that came with it allready had been redeemded . Im trying cakewalk and the seller customer service to see if they can help.... The unit itself was pretty easy to install.The noise is gone .only air noise wich is normal.....The preamps ? well I dont see much difference from the 1641when it worked fine in windows 7 .Still is a good unit for the price . Would recomend it.

I purchased one of these in 1992, when they were state of the art. That unit crashed on me unfortunately. This unit is actually an upgrade to the unit I first purchased. The price was good in comparison. So far the unit works great, though I am still learning the technique to use it.Now I can listen to old recordings, and make new ones with my blank tapes.As far I know, no one manufactures these units any more, so we have an eighteen year old dinosaur. My how technology moves fast. This unit has dedicated line in inputs, which is a preference over the old unit. This must not have had a lot of use, it seems cherry. A plus was the carrying case which was included in the package. Overall it was a great deal. AMEN
TASCAM-DR-05-Digital Recorder is easy too use the best recorder out of the ones i have used and or own and i have a bunch A+++++++
