Richard Thomas Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Had a play with one today- mixing's done on the touchscreen, so it's only really good for setting rough levels. Build quality's pretty good though- a bit big and heavy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Seems this is replacing the R4 Pro in their lineup. Wonder if the used price on those will drop to the R44 price. Fantastic times we're seeing for recorders / mixers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Joachim Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 With the SD 664 and the R-88, it looks like the end for the Tascam Hs-P82 considering price and flexibility. J.D. Maybe. Maybe not. We are a Roland dealer and, will certainly sell some of the R88's, However, for $1,000.00 more you get The Tascam mic pres, which are excellent, color touch screen interface, rock solid TC generator and two removable media slots vs just the one for the Roland. I also much preferred the Tascam build quality over the Roland. We had a demo of the R88 in here yesterday and, while a nice unit for the price, at $2,500.00, it was not really priced low enough in my opinion to draw customers away from the HS-P82 at $3,500.00. One thing I noticed also was that the permanently tilted screen on the R-88 was tilted away from you went put into a bag, making it difficult to see. You could , of course, flip it around. But then, all of the controls and metering would be upside down. On the Tascam, the screen can be adjusted down into a flat position for better viewing. I think the Roland will be a very nice tool for the user who wants to move beyond a Zoom or FR-2TC, but still see's the HS-P82 and certainly the SD 664 as too much of a financial reach but, I am not sure it is enough to kill off the Tascam completely.

Jesper Magnusson Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've used the R-4 Pro many times, and while it had some structural problems (file naming, headphone monitoring, placement of buttons etc) I thought it was overall pretty solid for the relatively low price. If this builds on the same analogue parts as the Pro (which is not the same as in the r-44) and have better controls, it could be quite decent and I would probably not object to use one if it was given to me for a job. I wonder if it has analogue filters and limiters? The R-4 Pro didn't, which made them quite useless on set. Ultimately though, it's obviously not a recorder made solely for use on film sets, so there are drawbacks. It could be a great backup recorder, and if the price holds for the European market, maybe of interest for people new in the game that need many channels. For those who do a bit of everything - location, fx, music etc - it might be a very good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
