Thankfully, little risk involved!

Anyone else use external mics with the 004 or 008?
Hi Seamus,

I've had no idea or even heard of this Tascam condenser mic, but it seems so inexpensive to me (as you mentioned "little risk involved"). And now I'm thinking about giving it a try too (I've read one of the reviewers that said this mic is good for vocal but not for instrument! But the other reviewers didn't say that!)

And yes, I've used external mics with my 02 (and had some experiments with 008 too). I'm using MXL 4000 for vocal (and harmornica) and Behringer C-2 (comes in a pair) for guitars. I believe it's much better to use external mics, the main reason among other things is you can really play around with setting them up at the locations and distance and what not that you want instead of having to compromise with the internal mics at the machine itself.

Please let us know about your "Comment" if/when you decide to get that Tascam mic and use it yourself.
