Tascam has just released its new multitrack field recorder, the Portacapture X8. The X8 is a multitrack, multifunction recorder with a large, responsive touchscreen and tons of functionality. 

Stayed tuned for our upcoming deep dive video we take a closer look at different functions and presets on the X8.

Tascam Press Release:

The Portacapture X8 uses an app-like set of configurations that optimize the unit for various recording tasks, including multitrack recording, voice capture for interviews, podcasts, music recording, field recording, and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) for capturing those unusual/sensory-related sounds. Combined with the recorder’s intuitive Launcher system and the incorporated 3.5-inch colour touch panel display, the Portacapture X8 provides users with more time to focus on the actual recording without having to struggle with complicated settings.

The TASCAM Portacapture X8 provides a wealth of DSP capability that dramatically outpaces the competition. This includes Compressor, Limiter, Low-Cut Filter, Noise Gate, Reverb, Auto Gain Control, and more. Equally notable, wireless remote control is possible via mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android).
