Muy buena grabadora, excelente sonido
Worthy Successor to the DR-44 (weird product numbering aside)

Anyone complaining about the manual should understand how Tascam does their docs. I've had several of their recorders and the included "Owner's Manual" is a glorified Quick-Start guide in multiple languages. Go to their site and download the DR-40 "Reference Manual", which is 80 pages (in one language) and includes all the feature detail you'll likely need.
I loved my DR-44WL for years - except for the flimsy plastic selector wheel and encoder that eventually stopped working. The wireless app never cut it with me so the DR-40 made sense. It retains a lot of the functionality (although I do miss the input level wheel) and the improved selector switches are a huge improvement over the old wheel. Unlike the 44, the DR-40 mics can be positioned in XY or ORTF patterns, plus there are the same two XLR jacks with phantom power. The DR-40 supports a footswitch (handy for dubbing). If you seriously interested in the DR-40, don't just read reviews, go to the site and download the Reference Manual - the site's wide open, no annoying registration or anything, just grab the PDF and read.

Instruction Manuals are useless!

I have a Tascam DP-004 4 track and that is difficult to navigate. Thougth I would give the DR-40X a try . Very Compact and easy to use if you just recording with the internal mics. Sound is good and all you have to do is press the red Record button.
But if you are looking for recording directly from your plugin guitar and mics. It takes a little bit of effort. Don't consult the manual because there is nothing there. I found a nice 3 part video series on how to navigate the recorder. It was also $20 cheaper on here than that Guitar Center.
Don't expect your recordings to be like something recorded at a recording studio. But it gets the job done

Great portable stereo recorder.

I am extremely impressed with all the options for recording and playback. Great for catching a gig at a club, or some recording synced to a video, or just recording your own music and overdubing on top for practice work. Great fast shipping with tracking provided. I'm very happy I got this.
The one I wanted.

After years working with a Tascam DR-05 for years, I finally had enough of workarounds and compromises to get a good signal from line out to the recorder.
The price had gone down considerably on this unit (thanks Amazon warehouse..used acceptable!), so I decided to try it.
Initial test recordings were pretty good though the microphone"¦but I HAD to try the line inputs.
I got accurate, 24 bit recordings that sound exactly like the source, which is all I needed and expected! The bonus of the unit being a 4 track recording device could easily come in handy for my needs.
At the price, you'll not do much better. A 16 go SDcard would give you 16 hours of recording time in stereo!
Buy it if you're thinking about it!
