Will it create separate audio files from 2 shotgun mics and 2 lav mics so I can then create my own mix in Post? Does it all go into one file?

You can record separate tracks but it will be one file. If you want separate files, they will need to be recorded separately.

The previous answers are not quite correct. You can link or unlink the external inputs. You link them to stereo pairs by pushing their arm buttons simultaneously. When linked, they record to a single file per stereo pair. When unlinked, they record as separate files. So you can basically choose if you want stereo or mono files.

The 4 XLR inputs create individual mono files from the mics attached. The attached mics, 2 at 90 degrees as shown in picture, create a single stereo file. All 5 of these files can be mixed using an audio package. I did this using 4 mics and the 90 degree onboard to record my nephews band playing a gig. I remixed the audio using those files and then laid that over the video track of same song. worked beautifully.

yes, furthermore that track may be mono or stereo.better still .. a track, or tracks may be recorded while others play back, and you can mix down all your tracks to a single track to reopen all your channels for more tracks ... its as mild or wild as you need it to be

You can use a mixer device or a "Y" cable, but it is not designed to it. If you do it, both mics will have the effect on then.

No. It has two separate inputs and a built in left and right channel stereo mic. So, technically, I would consider it a three channel reorder. If your looking for a dedicated four channel recorder. This is not the unit. But, you can swing out the built in mics to the "y" formation and then record two separate sound sources and then add the two left and right inputs in the back. But, the built in mics will still pick up the sounds out the other sound sources as am a kent noise. I have this unit for a while and it works like a champ, but I think that Tascam should be more clear on its capabilities. I hope that helps?

yes i think that is possible. It depends on your need this mic is capable to record raw audio and it then can be processed. if you need separate audio track ie vocal, instrument and the like yes you can input more than one LAV and have a very professional audio product outcome hope this helps.

The splitter will help you share the audio.... Imagine having two X12 headsets and connecting both green inputs to this splitter to share audio.... it won't help with the mic feature. Hope this helps

Not directly. If you connect this to a mixer for studio recording, you can channel the two tracks. 1 microphone goes out on the right channel and the other goes out on the left channel. Then using your digital audio workstation, split the left and right channels into separate tracks. Boom, you can edit each voice separately.

Well, I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. Yes you can record several inputs together at the same time and tthen of course they would be synchronized. You could also record tracks one at a time, however in that case they would not be synchronized and you would need to put them together with some type of audio software. The Zoom is a good mixer, but it's not really an editor.

That depends. We have not used it for that purpose. The best way would be to split both the mic input and the computer audio output, mix them and then record onto a recorder (this one or another) directly through the line in input.

reason one ... latencyby the time you have 16 tracks worth of effects and EQ tweaked for mixdown, most PC's will glitch as it gets very processor intensive.with a stand alone like this, you can bet your life that the final result will be exactly whyat you told it to be.

Yes, you can! Just used this over the weekend at a party! It was great! Both mics were used at the same time!

Never tried it but you should be able to, most recording software will recognise the input so you shouldn't have a problem. You can plug the other end of the 1/4 into the mix port and you should be able to use both mics.

The audio is only active when the individual camera is on not the quad mode. Yes each camera will save in separate files. When you view the video files it will be listed by day, hour, and in the hour folder each active camera will have it's own file with the time and length of the recording. I have had my system active for almost 1 year. I set my cameras up the first week of July 2014. I would give this a 4 out of 5 star rating. Well worth it for the price. I trust that helps you. Good luck.

Dear Mike, you can record mixed tracks through USB or REC out available, if you were asking about guitar effects, not vocals then you should look for other mixers as well. This is a great mixer for music + vocals and produces great real time sound. I haven't experimented to record separate or isolated tracks along with mixed or live mixed sound. I may need some time to think and experiment on it. Still if you feel that you can elaborate your question, please do it, it may help me think further.

I believe the multi effects, affects all the channels that are playing at one time. say you had the mic, and guitar with echo effect on - they would both echo
1121242
The answer is yes and no. I went through the manual and found no convention to play to of the pre-recorded sound together. The would only be a way if you actually recorded the sounds together as a wav file and used the download method to install. It does have great, realistic sound and some neat tricks like " FoxBANG" and recall (to the previous call & setting. Great lightweight call which works for me.

To mix 4 or 8 or really any number of mics into one channel you will need a splitter to go from 1 to 4 (or how ever many you need). You may have to get two 1 to 4 and one one to 2 to mix 8 together. Or you get a mixing device which will be more expensive. Now of course if you do this the one channel that is recording is going to have all audio channels recording at the same time so if you have sound on all channels it will be hard to isolate one specific channel to listen to. You really want a separate recording channel for each mic unless you know you will never have audio on more than one mic at a time.
