Thanks for all the great efforts... So you think the 1.10 update is good to go? Should we go ahead? I'm getting awesome results from the original version, just want to be sure.

Had a chance to record some in the studio last night. Excellent results at the 24 bit 48 setting. Voice and acoustic guitar. This device is awesome bang for the buck. I never did upgrade from the original 1.01. I think I'll wait to see what you get out of Tascam at your meeting. I would suggest they come out with a mounting clip, add on. So the DR-1 could be easily mounted to a tripod or a better yet a universal mic stand.

Well I have the 1st update, but I haven't installed it. I think perhaps I should wait.

Greetings: I recently purchased the Tascam DR-1. I found this forum helpful and I will add a short review of my own. I paid $275 @ Center using their mailer $25 coupon that comes every so often. Aesthetically this is a BEAUTIFUL unit. Its smart looking, light weight and easy to navigate through the menues out of the box. My first field test, which Ill post a clip of here, was really what I call the idiot test. I literally took it out of the box, turned it on, set an input level and made a recording. I bought the DR-1 to record song ideas, some rehearsals and the occasional live performance duty. For this test I wasn't able to really center the unit to the sound field. Infact it was on stage rather than in front of the stage. It was just a logistical issue. Its a nice acoustic test that was literally plug and play. This is a Klezmer band. Three violins, guitar, oboe and mandolin. Recorded in a restaurant infront of 175 people. DR1_FIELD_TEST.mp3 DR-1 with v 1.01, built in mics, High gain setting at about 6. Not too bad. With a little mastering I could have this track sounding awesome. I enjoy the live warmth. Not as good as tape but very affordable and very easy. My next test will be in the project room. I will be recording some song ideas later tonight and Ill post a snippet and my thoughts on performance. Peace
