Tascam Digital Production Environment SX 1 Manual

SX-1 Digital Production Environment 

The Vision 
Several years ago, the SX-1 design team envisioned a machine that
would  combine  the  power  and  flexibility  of  computer- b a s e d
recording and editing, MIDI sequencing, hardware surface control,
dynamic mix automation, on-board and plug-in effects, stereo and
surround mixdown, data backup - all of which would be accessible
via a powerful and intuitive user interface. Their vision was to
enable musicians, composers, and music production professionals to
stay focused on the joys of...

disk recorder for slating or funky tracking. Also, if you own high-
end analog outboard processors (maybe a pair of 1176’s or a
Fairchild 670),  you could easily patch them into inserts on any mixer
channel. 
The SX-1 takes the digital console concept even further with pres-
tige, name brand, onboard effects by TC Works and Antares. It also
possesses one of the best surround mixing interfaces on the market
today, making routing and creation of 5.1 mixes as easy as a few
button presses.

When all components of the SX-1’s digital console are consid-
e red…40  input/8  bus  arc h i t e c t u re,  touch-sensitive  motorized
100mm faders, name brand onboard effects, highly sophisticated
automation, extremely flexible signal routing, surround mixing, etc.
- the SX-1 is clearly a remarkable value.

A Professional 128-track Sequencer
Another of the SX-1’s impressive features
is  the  onboard,  128-track p ro f e s s i o n a lsequencer,...

A Professional Hard Disk Recorder
The SX-1’shard disk recorderis derived from the same technology
in the TEC award-winning MX-2424 and Emmy award-winning MM
Series film dubbers. The SX-1 can play back 16 uncompressed tracks
of pristine 24-bit audio at one time, but it’s capable of far more.
With 999 virtual tracks per project that can be freely assigned to
any track, anywhere, the SX-1 makes comping together single
tracks from large numbers of vocal or instrumental takes an easy
task.

Waveform Editing
Many  industry  pros  would
a rgue  that  the  waveform -
based  display  has  been  the
most significant new feature
i n t roduced  over  the  past
decade to improve the profes-
sional  audio  re c o rding  and
editing  process.  The  SX-1’s
designers saw the possibilities
for a custom, full color graph-
ic interface that would take
advantage of the SX-1’s speed. As such, the SX-1 has a graphic inter-
face that is accessible by connecting a VGA monitor to a rear panel
jack. The speed of...
