TASCAM DR-10L PRO Review - Micro Audio Recorder for Video

In this episode we review the new TASCAM DR-10L PRO lavalier micro recorder. This audio recorder can be used instead of wireless microphone systems. Instead of sending the audio wirelessly back to your camera or audio recorder, the audio is recorded on the body pack. Then in post production, you sync the audio to the video clips. And the DR-10L PRO makes that pretty easy with timecode support. It also records 32-bit float wide dynamic range audio so the chances of your sound clipping or distorting is much lower than with traditional recorders. Let’s take a closer look and listen!

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX.
