I have been using it for a variety of uses with videos for my YouTube channel(Running Into History). I have been using it for folley, ambient sounds, a little ASMR and recently I decided to record my entire narration to a video using the attached mics and it sounds really good. I just pull out the SD card and copy it over to Davinci. I was using a Rode NT1 which sounds pretty good but this things also sounds nice, fat and detailed. I like that I can take it into a quiet area of the house and record the narrative then transfer it over. I also use it to run the Rode NT1 into it for a vocalist and use the attached mics of the unit in Y mode to mic my acoustic and it sounds incredible. With phantom power built in we can record anywhere including a recent video in the middle of the woods while camping. And I can add compression and reverb to both the vocals and the guitar while recording. Although the effects cannot be used in 32bit float. I think the effects are limited to 48khz if I remember correctly. I was using the Zoom h1n for most of my recordings before this and I still use it with a lapel mic when I am walking and talking for video(then synch later). It also sounds great but the 32bit float in the X8 makes post production life so much easier with full control. The X8 inspired me to start completely sound designing environments for my videos. I recently recorded a video in a secluded area of forest but unfortunately a highway passes over the area nearby and it was drowning out the nature sounds. I recorded the quiet nature ambience back at the car and then recorded shoes stepping up and down in place them put this all together with the video to capture the perfect forest experience. The mics are terrifyingly cheap feeling. Every time I switch their configuration I am concerned they will snap or crack open. No issues yet and I'm not sure how Tascam can make something so flimsy sound so good but hopefully they are more durable than they appear. I wish the screen rotated so that I can see it when it's recording my acoustic but Tascam most likely would rather you purchase the Bluetooth adapter, which I am about to purchase. Unfortunately not sold on desertcart. I haven't seen any screen bleed and I haven't ran the unit in anything above 48khz(and then reduced the pitch), so I haven't ran into the hum issue. It's really sensitive to handling noise but I purchased a cheap grip tripod thing that a youtuber suggested and it makes a big difference. I purchased one of the inexpensive pop filter and dead cat wind filter packages desertcart. The pop filter is garbage and does not prevent plosives at all but the dead cat does eliminate them and also cuts down on wind interference effectively. I am thinking about starting a podcast and it seems like this will also work great for that. But the unit has recieved two firmware updates since I purchased it almost two months ago. Unfortunately the updates do not address the podcast feedback issue(I think it's called zero sum or something like that). Other units have it to prevent a callers audio from being fed back to them. The other thing I didn't realize is if you plan on using this as a USB mic, your PC will disable any sound card you have. I have the Scarlett 2in 2out which works great but when the X8 is plugged in, the PC routes all audio to the X8 as an interface. I haven't been able to get them to both work together but it sounds like its a windows driver Asio limitation. It works if you don't use Asio but that introduces some serious latency. But I highly recommend this device if you want one audio unit that does almost everything perfectly. Review: Excellent 6 Channel (not 8) capture device - Overall, I am quite happy with this device, no problems Six Channels: this will record only six (6) input feeds, not 8 that they imply. Yes, along with the 6 it records a mix-down of the 6 to stereo, however I don't care about this and don't see why anyone would because you take the tracks, dump them into Audacity, and mix to stereo there when you can tweak and adjust correctly. There are ONLY 6 inputs to this device, and calling it X8 is a bit deceptive. I have seen magazine articles claiming that this will work as an 8 channel A-to-D converter, but that is wrong, there are only 6 channels of input. I knew it was only 6 inputs when I bought it, so no problem. Simple to Use: Every single time it records all channels, and I consider that a feature. Sometimes those channels are empty if there was no input, and so later I have to delete them, but the advantage is that you never forget to enable the recording of a channel. Mixer and volume settings were obvious to use. Attached mics did a great job. I set it up in the practice room using attached mics, and then additionally fed the vocal mic signal and some instruments, and the result (after mixing) was great enough for demo tracks. Batteries did die in the middle of one session, so you have to watch out for that, but that was after 5 or 6 hours of recording. For a serious recording you want to plug it in to USB power. Was disappointed that the blue tooth functionality required an additional $50 device, however I bought that so I can control it from the stage. ## Features - Enjoy intuitive app-like controls on the X6, all using the large 2.4-inch touchscreen. Easy-to-use recording, pre-production and postproduction capabilities are just a touch away. *Note: Only use AK-BT1 adapter.

Sound quality is at least an order of magnitude better than sound recorded from a costly Sony video cam. The user interface is OK once you get familiar with it, but there are many options and finding them in the various menu screens requires a learning curve, and it's easy to forget where to find what you want (e.g., enabling/disabling the phantom power). Better user instructions would help, and revising them would be less costly than revising the software. The touch screen has good color and resolution, and the touch function works pretty well. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and I salute the engineering team that developed the hardware. ## Frequently Bought Together - TASCAM Portacapture X6 32-bit Float Portable Audio Recorder, Field Recorder for Video, Music, Podcast, Voice, Podcasting - co2CREA Hard Case compatible with TASCAM Portacapture X6 32-bit Float Portable Audio Recorder - SanDisk 256GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 190MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, 5K, A2, Micro SD Card - SDSQXAV-256G-GN6MA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/509675036-portacapture-x6-32-bit-float-portable-audio-recorder-field-recorder](https://www.desertcart.it/products/509675036-portacapture-x6-32-bit-float-portable-audio-recorder-field-recorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
