Question 1

What's a good USB battery pack to pair with this?

Accepted Answer

Right now I use the Blackwed, model # BWB15TA223, it's a 8000mAh bank. Was able to get a few good hours out of it.

Question 2

Will this internally record four discrete channels (One for each input) or does it automaticaly down mix into stereo?

Accepted Answer

The Tascam DR-60DMKII can record 4 independent channels. These output into two stereo recording files as CH1/2 and CH3/4.

Question 3

I have a problem with the 60D not working with rechargeable batteries, even after changing the battery settings. Anyone else have this? Know of a fix?

Accepted Answer

A small number of the early production runs had this problem. There is nothing to do but return for exchange. I bought 6 of these for our department, one of them had this problem. The alkaline/NiMH setting in the menu has nothing to do with this - the different battery chemistries have different discharge curves - the setting merely insures that the 'battery remaining' indicator is accurate. I'm not certain what causes the problem but my guess is the difference between the 1.5V alk. and the 1.2V NiMH. Just a guess.

Question 4

Says it does 4 channel recording. It takes 4 individual channels and combines them to 2 stereo channels.  Is there a way to maintain 4 separate channe

Accepted Answer

Pretty much any audio editing program will allow you to separate the left and right channels and then save them separately. Just make sure you save them in the same format that they were recorded in. Im pretty sure reaper is still free.
