Do I need to buy a card to record when I buy this Tascam or does it come with a built in, or a courtesy one?

You need a sd card to record unless you have a line out to your camera. I would suggest to you to get the mk II since it has already been out for 2 months

Depends on the software you're using. Traktor allows to have it recorded, Virtual DJ too if not mistaken. Remember it is a controller at the end of the day, just like your keyboard/mouse - it is limited to control the software on your laptop.

might be cheaper buying a usb turntable... http://www.amazon.com/Ion-TTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO

Buy yourself a tascam dr-40. Record audio to it by use of the xlr plugs and then pull the sd card and edit with your computer. If you only use 1 mic, you probably want an xlr y-splitter to ensure you don't get a channel of hiss.

See: http://blackravenfilms.com/tascam-dr-680-field-recorder-review-and-how-i-power-it/It is better to use a regulated power source. Also, you will get noise from a car cig lighter socket.

It records on your computer or with the SD card. It is motion and sound activated. I use the SD card. It is an excellent buy,

Not in the base recorder that comes with it. You need to purchase the full studio upgrade and then you can export your recording to iTunes.

it's a hardware sampler, meaning it doesn't use midi to control any sounds, it has it's own sounds. you could record into reason (or any DAW, I use Fl) using an interface.

Yes, you will need a recording program. I use Audicity which is a free program and works great for all my recordings.

It's plug and play as a device so you don't need special software. You just use it with whatever software you use to record

If you don't have it, I recommend the DVD tutorial manual. I learned on the TASCAM 788, but the DVD tutorial helped me quickly climb the learning curve with the DP-24.

My unit only came with a SD card (memory). If you're getting a package w/footswitch, headphones, & cables, that would be an even better deal. It can also take a Wah in addition to the regular footswitch. I don't want to "push" the product on anyone and I have no affiliation w/Roland or Boss but I tell you I was just using it 10 minutes ago!

You can mix your file down on the machine and import from card, also you can import your project track by track from the card as well. That's what I do. Also, this works both ways, you can edit and return the file back or load other wav files from your computer into the Tascam.

Absolutely my friend. This is a pro. Audio card. You can do a professional recording with this and send it to record companies. Top end. If price is issue look at roland audio cards too. Cheaper and do the same job. I bought tri by roland very cheap and good card. But this rme is up there withe best. Good luck :-). Whatever u do dont buy Motu audio cards. They are faulty and horrible. I tasted that before and had too many problems.

It really depends on how you want to use it. For a large venue you will need to hook it to your PA system's amp or mixer. For recording just hook into your recorder.

1st souloution when you hit record once, it goes into a pre record mode, the rec light should blink, this is so you can check the levels etc, once you hit record a second time it will start recording 2nd soloution: there is an auto record setting, at first you might think than means like a camera on auto to just set levels etc automatically but its not. The auto record means that it will record when it "hears" something, and the sensitivity is adjustable. so once you hit record it may be stopping because the sounds is to low against the sensiotivity asettings. Disable the auto recording and you should be fine. This recorder is one of the nest on the market for a lot of reasons, i have 3 tascams models and 2 zooms, it take an hour or 2 to read the manuel but when your on location it pays to know your stuff
