Topic: Tascam DR-70D 4-channel audio recorder for DSLR cameras

[Cheesecadet]

If you use this to do a soundboard matrix would you use (trust) the built in delay for the soundboard feed or figure it out in post?

I have used the delay on the deck and it has worked flawlessly for me thus far. 1 foot = Approx. 1ms delay is what I have used and seems good to go so far.

I didn't realize this had delay. Wow. That's cool.

Now I'm even more intrigued to get one

Camera Input and Output
The DR-70D has a camera input jack that can be used to monitor the audio from the DSLR camera. By using this with the DR-70D monitor selection function, you can efficiently monitor the audio from not only the DR-70D but also from the DSLR camera. The camera output jack is designed to output the mixed audio to the camera so that the same audio can be recorded by the DR-70D and the camera. Since the input level varies by camera maker and there are usually few adjustments related to volume on DSLR cameras, this unit has an output volume dial that can be used to make adjustments. "

I do not see a wheel to turn on the outside of the unit. Is there one?
If yes, where is it?

Thanks.

i asked before but don't think anyone answered, is there a menu setting to select between line out and headphones out as they are the same jack on the 70d?
On the 60d they are separate and have two volume knobs which I like because you can use both at once

Line Out and Headphones are separate jacks. Cam Out and Line Out are the same jack.

Options on the MONITOR menu:

MONITOR SEL: MIX or CAM
OUTPUT LEVEL: -102 to +12db (default is 0db)
OUTPUT GAIN: LINE or CAM

Ouch...

Are you saying 'don't use the delay' or 'don't delay in buying one'?

If I had a laser tape measure or some other reliable measurement - I might use it.

But for "walk up taping" - post seems more practical.

Its not like you can't adjust it in post if you use live delay...

(i took it as dont delay buying one!)

Don't delay buying!  (Really I should keep my jolly quips to myself - they tend not to work on the internet.  Or anywhere for that matter...)

Man I really want one of these! I paid off my NBob KCY and Naiant PFAs, so my time is coming! [2] INV 6's and a 70D are high up on my list, along with another pair of Rode Dead Kittens, and BAM, id be set for a few weeks

And I cant remember the last time I actually monitored a show I was recording! Since the m10 doesn't have a powerful line/Headphone out, I don't even bother. Would you guys say that the 70D Line/HP out is way more powerful than the m10s I only use earbuds these days, but I would like to be monitoring the show with this thing, especially since Id be dealing with 4 channels most of the time! And I already have a bag picked out for running both of my rigs + 70D

First post I've seen concerning a mod for this device - https://www.gearslutz.com/board/10842631-post31.html

Wow! That post is from Jim Williams.

I inquired and Jim is not offering mods on this device at the moment.  He did say its an easy op amp swap.
