Nashville, TN – August 2024… Haley Powers is a Nashville-based course developer, content creator, and musician who is active as a blogger and content producer on services like Instagram and YouTube. Her content aims to encourage other musicians to express their creativity online, and she’s garnered nearly 50,000 followers as well as sponsorship from leading music equipment manufacturers—all while performing weekly gigs in her area. To capture ideas and turn her inspiration into content, she relies on the versatile and easy-to-use TASCAM Portacapture X6 portable audio field recorder.
With its cutting-edge 96kHz/32-bit float recording technology, compact form factor, intuitive app-like operation, and color touchscreen, the TASCAM Portacapture X6 is a highly versatile field recorder that interacts well with other studio gear such as DAWs (digital audio workstations), external microphones, and a variety of other devices. According to Powers, “I use the Portacapture to record song ideas and guitar content, as well as to record audio for YouTube videos. In the short time I’ve had the Portacapture X6, I’ve come to appreciate its instrument recording feature, as well as the ability to add reverb and EQ and then adjust them to match the video content. The Portacapture makes creating music content very easy and delivers high-quality results!”
When asked about the features and functions of the Portacapture X6 that make it such a compelling choice for the way she works, Powers shared these thoughts. “I love the ability to connect the X6 to a camera,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to create content without having to rely on the inferior capabilities of phone or camera microphones, and then just be able to drag the files into a DAW when you need to edit the content further.”
When Powers was asked to elaborate on how the Portacapture X6 boosts her creativity, she explained, “Before I got the Portacapture X6, I always had a hard time getting good acoustic guitar audio for video without relying on my entire mic/interface/computer setup. Now with the Portacapture X6, I’m thrilled to have a much more compact and streamlined solution for capturing the audio while still having the ability to edit the audio in post-production. The Portacapture really helps streamline creative efforts.”
Questions often arise with many musical electronics and associated studio equipment, which is why the ability of equipment manufacturers to provide competent and responsive support services is critical. Again, Powers had high praise for TASCAM. “To be honest, I haven’t really needed any technical support for the Portacapture X6,” she explained, “as TASCAM’s online documentation, videos and other support materials are very comprehensive. I must point out, however, that in the few interactions I have had with TASCAM, the company representatives have always been eager and helpful.”
Before turning her attention back to the day-to-day business, Powers concluded by sharing her experience with the TASCAM Portacapture X6: “I can honestly say that I really enjoy using the Portacapture. I also like that it is such a versatile product that supports the modern musician. These days, most artists need to build some social media presence, so the Portacapture is a great all-in-one product for adding great sounding audio to videos, instrumental recordings and live performances! For me, it’s a great tool.”
